Thanks EHM

Gibberish. She has been complaining of tummy pain since the start of December. It is around her belly button and she is getting it 2-3 times a day.

It doesnt appear to be related to hunger, thirst, eating, stress etc. I left it a while as I thought the disruption of the holidays and christmas might be causing it but she still has it. She is quite tired a lot, and her pre-school teacher says she hasnt been the same since she returned from hols in that she is quite wobbly and emotional.

gibberish · 16/01/2008 12:55

thanks ehm Am off now. Speak to you all later x

ludaloo · 16/01/2008 13:02

[sigh] DD2 is having a major strop because I lifted her down off the chair ON THE WRONG SIDE!
She is sitting on the floor by the side of the chair screaming "that side, that side" Well there is no way I am putting her back up and lifting her off again on the other side...so she will just have to sit there and puddy about it!

I'll make her something to eat and hopefully she'll forget about it [doubtful emoticon]

Yaddayah · 16/01/2008 14:03

ehm Fertility clinic .. good luck are you defrosting ? IYKWIM
fgs others have put it much better than I could so I'll send you an awkward hug and hope its nothing to worry about

Well i've ironed/hoovered/swept and dusted and its all looking much better

Should really finish off the ironing .. suppose shuffles feet in teenager stylee

TheMadHouse · 16/01/2008 14:03

Luda Children can be so OCD sometimes cant they. DS1 is like this at the momnet we have to take off his pants and shoes for him to go to the loo, not too bad at home but a nightmare when we are out.

FGS I am keeping my fingures cross re DD

Bianca I hope that DS is feeling a little better and that you have had lots of cuddling

Groucy do the pills work and how much are they????

Yadda I am sure that it is just selective hearing - its a man thing

bw Sorry about all the health issues.

Gibberish Will e-mail again

Ruby Things are tight here too

where is tort?

I am going to make a fish pie for tea and then I must do my menu plan and shopping list.

TheMadHouse · 16/01/2008 14:04

Oh I missed the fertility bit - tell me more, tell me more more more (in a greece styleee)

EHM · 16/01/2008 14:15

yadd yes we are defrosting..should have been this month but I wont bore with the details.
TMH we had apppoint on 15th Nov to discuss a further attempt at IVF using some of the frozen embryos we have in storage. Ellie was a 'little frostie' & was born after 5 attempts.
luda their little ways can be frustrating but also very funny.

Off to take my little frostie for a walk & to the park. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

BiancaCastafiore · 16/01/2008 14:19

Well, ds has been fine all moring - well, not 100% fine, he's been tired and snotty but quite lively in other ways. I have however put him in my bed now for a while with a story CD to listen to.
I've managed to do a fair bit, everywhere has had a quick hoover, the bathroom has been cleaned and some laundry has been done. Supper is early this eve as dd has Rainbows so it'll be a quick and easy pasta with something....

FGS hope this second urine sampple gives you some answers, must be worrying..
EHM everything crossed for fertility clinic!
Luda hope dd2 has calmed down!
Yadda I have ironing to do too - shall we put it off together?
Ruby we are having a couple of no spending months (except fo rthe essentials of course) We have a huge credit bill to pay off
TMH glad swimming was fun
Shanna I like the list
Grouchy hope the appt with the herbalist goes well
gibberish hope your pyhsio goes well too

Well, I ought to think about getting ready to collect dd. If ds is asleep I'll need to arrange a neighbour to sit with him while I pop out.

I would be a spendaholic too ruby If I had any money at all to spend! Good thing for me is that we have absolutely no spare money...so my weekly treat is usually a bar of choc and a magazine!

I have decided to walk up to school to get the kids...keep up with my excersing and all that
It was nice and sunny when I announced to DH he could take the car! Now its as cloudy as ever [typical] It had better not bloomin rain!

DD2 has now calmed down...she is playing with her Peppa Pig House, watching Thomas and eating a banana. I'll get her wrapped up in a mo and hopefully she will sleep on the way to school.

EHM Best of luck with the IVF...does that mean you are trying for another little bean? (Well obviously it must do!) Oooh

TheMadHouse · 16/01/2008 15:13

Ruby Repeat after me " my name is Ruby and I am a spendaholic - I have been spend free for 1 day"

EHM Oh how exciting - hope there is another little frostie soon and that it does not take so many attemps

Luda I might take the mini mads for a walk.

Bianca Wow you managed to get quite a lot done

Me I have poped the swimming stuff in the dryer and that is about it

EHM · 16/01/2008 15:40

thanks for the wishes everybody! I'll keep you posted. Back from out walk & not so quick go on the swings & slide. Had to leave the park kicking & screaming(that was just me) Ellie is watching Tweenies have a snack & I am have a cuppa. Her boots,jeans & gloves are covered in mud so they had to be removed.
Have a good evening all..x

Janni · 16/01/2008 15:54

Hi ALL - once again I've joined the thread too late to be able to catch up. Day's been IK but busy, then I crashed and had a nap while DD watched The Wiggles (again).

Will sort out unpaired socks for the mission, did the medicines not long ago (amazingly).

Am going to hoover the flat. Another job I hate but which just needs doing...

Janni · 16/01/2008 15:55

Day's been OK, what could IK be? INKREDIBLE? That's when your DC draw all over your home in red ink I suppose..Sorry, I'm rambling now to avoid the hoovering....

Yaddayah · 16/01/2008 16:53

Janni
I've done a bit of ironing.. hmm I could really have done better today tbh, too much far la'ing around

Have made beef casserole and i'm starving (but its only been cooking an hour ....ggggah )

Place needs 15 mins to get it back to reasonable

Got to go and pick up ds from playdate so i'll do it when i get back ..

TheMadHouse · 16/01/2008 19:32

well the boys are in bed, they were really hyper this eveing for some reason.

So dinner for me and DH and then ironing - pah

Grouchyoscar · 16/01/2008 21:13

Evening all

Just got chance to get on the laptop since I got back from work. DH has been given a few days off so I have no need to panic about hitting the routines quite so hard in the morning.

Put all that blessed washing away

Oh, for those who asked, A friend with an ADD daughter suggested omega 3 and 6 for Ed who is a bit of a handful. He has been taking them for about 3 months and he has calmed down a hell of a lot. He calls them his 'Brainy tablets' and asks to take them. It's just fish oil and evening primrose oil really. The thing is, even if it's just a placebo effect, I can't se them doing him any damage tbh

Well he's snoring away at the side of me so I better get some rest too. Night all

Bewilderbeast · 16/01/2008 21:17

evening all THM that's excellent news about the MRI results
EHM fingers crossed for you

doc is making me an appt with the hospital . feeling better about the incident today I'm just relieved that the dog is ok and I've had a good look round the car and I can't see any blood or fur or dints (I had been worrying that the owner had said the dog was ok to make me feel better because he knew i was very upset).

Not done much today

been to tesco for a few bits
fish and chips for tea
wm loaded
quick kitchen tidy and wipe up

I doubt I'll get much more done this evening really

Janni · 16/01/2008 21:25

Isn't it amazing how we put off jobs for ever then when we get round to doing them they actually aren't so bad. It took 35 mins to hoover the whole flat and it's made such a difference. So tonight it's tidier AND cleaner than it was last night. Also the lunches are ready in the fridge. So, little by little I am actually getting on top of things.

Am tired though and DH (a Geordie) is OBSESSED by the appointment of St Kevin Keegan to manage Newcastle , so can't get any sense out of him tonight. Will have an early night.

DontDreamItBeIt · 16/01/2008 22:33

I've just read the thread backwards, afer a glass of wine(I'm a lighweight, one is all I need) so I remembe the ten commandments. May print them when I get ink for he printer.
I read your Lincoln update *TMH and am .

One side of the stair well has been plastered and lots more hoovering done. Toddler group in the morning tomorrow, then painting, so I'll probably not be back til the evening again.

I hope all are well
