JKS OMG CONGRATULATIONS

Mini I have said it on here before but Aveeno is BRILLIANT, and you can get it on prescription or in boots Tesco etc

I have had a time of it,
my nanny went walkies this time to mass at 7.00 in the morning about 0.5 miles from here house, and thought there was a wee woman in her apartmentSad
Brought dcs to see red arrows on saturday had a really lovely day with aunt & cousins, got loads of sun,
then when I came home I drove over the puppySad Sad she was so excited to see us I didn't see her run from one side of car to the other,
So spent the weekend crying, she has a broken pelvis and is now living back in utility room, we were very lucky she didn't rupture anything, I can't believe it
I still can't work out what happenedSad
and can't believe there wasn't more damage, I drive a big jeep and felt a bump

but on the upside dh is determined we are going on hols next week so trying to organise that

Tomorrow
finish uniforms
Tesco
ring travel agent
get stuff for christening cake

minimammoth · 11/08/2010 04:35

Oh Plum, you poor thing. Sad

Mini, Plum's right, Aveeno is brilliant. I tried it on her recommendation and it really helped my skin. If I remembered to use it all the time, my finger wouldn't keep getting bad.

Busy day out and about here today, visiting Aunty and DS first trip to the dentist. Smile

Morning Smile

Plum Sad poor puppy and you, and your nanny, you have been having a crappy time. One plus point is that hopefully puppy will now be much more wary with traffic. They are tough, it will be fine Smile

Need ideas of lovely things to do each day to stop it dragging.

Morning everyone :)

Hello CC! Grin

Had a lovely lie in this morning. DH brought me a cup of tea at 7.45 when he left which I drank, and then as there was no sounds from DS I went back to sleep until 9. Had a lovely shower in peace and then DS woke up at 9.30! He is much much better this morning, no more eye gunk or snot but I do have to literally wrestle him to get his antibiotics down him, he hates taking it :(

I MUST get some jobs done today, I have been moping around this week feeling rubbish and the house is starting to show the effects.
Short lists today

PurpleBananas -we're not scary, honest:)

Plum - so sorry to hear about both your Nan & the puppy, so glad the puppy is mostly ok, it happens so easily (my mum ran over my puppy when I was 16, sadly puppy died instantly and she was sooooo upset about a) having done it & b) having to tell me. It really is just one of those things they do, running out at cars) Hopefully yours will learn a very valuable lesson about staying away from cars from now on.

HMHB - DD is cruising?!?! isn't she just like a few weeks old!

Horrid taste in my mouth all the time, yuck - maybe that's why i put so much weight on in pg, have to keep eating to get rid of the taste, lol:)

Have a similar situ to you re telling friends, have a friend with one DS who is desperate for another DC but is now 41 and nothing really happening, may be starting on drugs soon to help.
