Fingers cross gigi.

Alice - leptons and quarks are involved in particle physics. if poor iggy has actually googled the result could have been messy
And TUT you are not supposed to be folding washing. folding washing is not resting take it easy. dont want to be awol for the arrival of lo. keep them legs crossed girl seriously take care of yourself.

TotalChaos · 25/05/2010 20:53

evening ladies.

gigi - just looked at your thread, fingers crossed (or should that be legs uncrossed...) for the biopsy results

alice - sounds like you need to rest up again. what did mw/docs say when they discharged you?

lizzy - well done at all those miles running

mittz - hope you find it easier once UF is well out of the way re:diet

yank - i was expecting them to keep you on with the psych a little longer, purely because I didn't get discharged till DS was over iyswim. still, 6 monthly appointments is fair enough, you won't feel they are in your face all the time iyswim. glad ds is finally better, now you just need mending and given the right abs for bfing!

mycat - hope the sleep improves.

jet - glad to hear that OT kicked arse at school. sounds like you are well sorted for meet, got your glasses and hair done.

I2D - what course you doing? what you hoping to do next?

bella - snort at the drummer, prick

waves at iggy and lepton/quarky woman and mrs wobble.

DreamsInBinary · 25/05/2010 20:56

Alice - sit down with your feet up NOW

UnifyingLeptonsAndQuarks · 25/05/2010 20:57

Sticks tounge out at tc. and offers loan of psycho child of whom tc has good advice. any for end of term overtired crappiness?

MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 25/05/2010 20:57

Right, you bootcamp lot! Why are you leaving me out???? Just 'cos I can't be around much

Right 4 x 30 minutes is it? Does it have to be separate minutes? Does my hour today count as two?

Crispy - glad the smear went ok. Horrible things!

Alice - dove grey sounds lovely, but how about a greener shade of grey to soften it a little?

We have a new house (9 years old I think) and I wish we had an older one for the lovely feel of it, but I'm bloody glad we don't whenever I hear about all the lovely money my friends with old houses have to spend on them!

Defluff - I spent my childhood being asked if I was partly Spanish. I'm not. Dh and I are both olive skinned with very dark hair. DD2, though, is very, very fair - blond hair, blue yes and pale skind. DD4 is fair too, although not so dramatically as DD2. I think you should say 'oh now! That's not tan! that's left over form the raw sunburn she had last week!'

Shredders (or should it be 'shreddies? ) - tell me more? Should I own this DVD myself?

Bella - at your drumer bloke. Big headed twat!

Mouse - you'd think a post like your descripton of your DS would be sad to read, but it wasn't . It was uplifting.

Yank - glad you're continuing with the support. Really make sure you're well before you let go of that, won't you.

Mitts - glad you were singing today

ULAQ - badminton was great! I loved it and can't wait until next Tuesday. But my arm and legs hurt! I was not very good at it hthough - 10 years since I last played!

Hi Mycat! I was sweaty and pink afterwards myself...for quite sometime

Lizzy - see response to ULAQ! No I am not v. good. But maybe I will be one day! Are you any good? Well done on the run.

Gosh, that took me nearly an hour! Although I was interrupted by DD1 coming downstairs to say 'Mummy, can you come up and give me one last 6 year old cuddle please?' (she's 7 tomorrow!). OF course that woke up DD4 so I had to settle her, while trying to to be really cross wtih DD1!

UnifyingLeptonsAndQuarks · 25/05/2010 21:03

Right i have manic day to sort tomo, need to be up at 6am. sodding neighbour with noisest lawn moewr on planet has just decided to cut the lawn

Gigi just read your thread and added my own embarrasing. I really hope all goes well with the biopsy result.

I'm off now ladies. Got a bad headache and heaps to do tomorrow.

Hope your all really well and hope to see you tomorrow. x

TotalChaos · 25/05/2010 21:10

ULQ - thoughts re:psycho child - if it really gets too much, then pull him before end of school week. otherwise - liaise with his teacher about events of school day, to get a feel for what may have bugged him, give him loads of warning about whats going to happen tomorrow, warning before transitions at home, whatever gets anxiety/sensory levels down really.

MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 25/05/2010 21:10

Sorry, that should say 'trying not to be really cross with DD1!'

wastingaway · 25/05/2010 21:18

Evening!

Jet, so lovely to have you back with us.

Mouse, your little boy is gorgeous. (I like your hair lots too)

Gigi, fingers crossed for you.

Alice, sit down!

Lizzy, DH thought the pie butty sounded genius.

for everyone else.

If you are hug-averse, how much worse would a tickle be?

DS is in his big boy bed for the first time tonight. So far so good.

I have just about stuck to my cals today, and it was all real food, not sweets, I didn't get myself a custard for pudding, and I had salad at lunch and dinner.

UnifyingLeptonsAndQuarks · 25/05/2010 21:20

Big school concert on thursday. Have pulled him from the wednesday and thurs evening ones. General normal exhaustion combined with lots of change last week, some change this week, end of term and early starts plus being ferral a lot over the weekend. He is so knackered half tempted to keep off school tomo, but he needs to know where he is standing and what doing for thursday. Plus keeping him off is more change. viscious cycle really. thank goodness for him going to his dad's

wastingaway · 25/05/2010 21:25

Leptons, sounds like a sensible balance.

ime tickles can get you into trouble. shall suffer the hug. can it be a manly low contact one please.

TotalChaos · 25/05/2010 21:30

wasting - I would go for a manly brief pat on the shoulder, it's safesy

i2d - sounds intriguing, hope you get in for next year

ulq - sounds like you've got it sorted in your mind, which is more than half the battle! fingers crossed for a erm relatively peaceful time till he's with his dad

UnifyingLeptonsAndQuarks · 25/05/2010 21:31

tis slow in these parts tonight. should have gone to bed one of these days i will jst go instead of talking about it and not going anywhere.

Iggisfulloftayto · 25/05/2010 21:31

Alice they don't call you naughty for nothing do they. REST
Gigi really looking forward to you getting some good news.
Am liking this tickle talk. We have a new book about a ticklemonster. I only have to say the word tm now and DS runs under the table. Very useful.
Am not moving into week 5 of cold and hoping a trip to the acupuncturist tomorrow might sort me out. No chocolate/biscuits in house but am feeling drawn to the sugar puffs.
ULAQ are you implying I can't cope with a bit of particle physics huh huh? [squares up]

wastingaway · 25/05/2010 21:31

I like those hugs boxers do.

Iggisfulloftayto · 25/05/2010 21:35
