The 'things to do today' list-makers, slatternly or otherwise - part (&!$(*&^%$$

[TrillianAstra]

New thead. I am so organised

Bet I cross-thread with FAQ doing the same!

Hmm is it me or has Mumsnet format thing gone wierd. I can only see this page....where is my old list.... panic!

((((Hugs JKS)))) I know it is not the same but dd was on a monitor for a while so I understand how rubbish and worried you must be feeling .

JKS - I'm glad your PIL are there, are they useful in terms of cooking the dinner and sorting out DS1? Big hugs. I can't imagine how you must feel, but maybe this will help a bit. We have friends whose daughter has epilepsy - she got married a couple of years ago and has just gone in to be induced with her first baby, she works full time as a teacher with SN kids. The medications that are available now are amazing and people can lead incredibly normal lives.

TA - that sounds exciting! I had to have an MRI once, I had a little periscope in there so that I could see my Dad while I was in there which made it less scary.

DS is maybe a bit better, he's had some Calpol and a nap and is now downstairs with DH. Not interested in food though, only milk so it could be a long night for me - I hope my boobs can keep up!

good point though, maybe i should give up cleaning mine?

To Do:

• get boys to bed DONE
• have takeaway for dinner DONE yum!

all ok here, calm after the storm...

Glad I could be of help, I like to make people smile

What takeaway did you have?

JKS - Hope you have some results on DS soon, monitor sounds like a good idea.

TA - How was your MRI? Did you do well in knowing what the pics were?

Well i've been down the hospital again today different meds stronger ones now. spoke to Rheumatologist today, who said bloods came back fine a little low but not to much to worry about. MRI results not fully through yet but from what he has can't see any disc lesions or anything wrong there, however believes its something spinal so being referred to that dept now. Have appointment with GP in morning to discuss further, and go from there.

soo tired, and soo thankful for DP don't know what i would do without him.

Evening all.
Hope your ds ok Ali

TA - MRI was because I fell on my arm and they couldn't work out what was wrong with it as it was causing me so many problems and I'd had various other investigations - x-ray, that scan thing where they inject you with radioactivity to see where it pools etc.
Worst thing was that until I got out of the machine, I'd no idea that the guy could see me through a screen into the room, so could see the soles of my feet and....oh it doesn't bear thinking about what other weird view he might have had!

Night everyone. DS is a lot better, he had a bit of dinner and he's been asleep for a couple of hours.

JKS Try and get some sleep tonight. Are there threads on here where you could get some info from other parents?

MM - I hope they can give you some answers soon.

TA - did you do the Nigella recipe with the gnocchi? Yum.

Can't be bothered to update my list, will add a new one tomorrow. Hope everyone sleeps well.

DS has found the rest of his Organix crisps from yesterday, I'd even out a peg on them. Better get his breakfast ready. He has been up since 5.45.

Hope the weather cheers up for you ladies..

Good morning slatterns
I am very for you all that are poorly or have poorly dc. Fingers crossed for all of you

Have been a right slattern lately, my whole routine (if you can call it that ) has been thrown a bit recently with the horses staying out in the field and more time at home. I have so many good intentions but the reality of doing it all with my little 'helper' is of course a lot more difficult. Will be easier once we have a stairgate upstairs i suppose.

I'm going to give myself 'mini' lists for a few days if thats ok and i won't get chucked off if i finish them? Is that allowed?

Tidy hallway and sweep
Chuck newspapers in recycling
Clean bathroom

I may add to it later (it really is mini!)

Well done SGloop - the threat of the Slatterns kicking you was enough, lol

Well, Ds2 fine, just gone for nap, no more fits (that we know of) and all trying to calm down.

So will try and re-enter normality with a list!

Today:

• ds1 to pre-school
• DH to work
• tackle laundry mountain
• make 'birth' cards for 2 friends who've had baby girls recently
• get on top of anything else that's been let slide over te last few days....
• collect ds1
• lunch
• afternoon plan/activity
• ds2 nap
• boys tea
• boys to bed
• our dinner
• bed early-ish again

Ongoing:

• will find and try to tackle at some point...

Well done on posting books

Glad things are getting more normal JKS.

Today:

drink tea and MN DOING
tell DP that after today if he wants a packed lunch he will have to get up in time to make it DONE
up + dressed properly
wash bloody kitchen floor
more guineapigging (busy this week!)
make list of job applications etc
apply for more jobs if there are any
washing up

TA what would happen with scan if you did have metal? I have a metal bar and pins holding my leg together. Was something i always wonder about That and airport thingies!

Oh dear, i really sounded like a Fenlander there didn't i?

Well done for posting books

Morning everyone.

Hope we are enjoying the weather today.
Well I don't feel to bad at the moment, but lets see how the day goes.

I've done one thing that really needed doing on my mile long list - online food shop LOL, ready for delivery tomorrow when DP is working from home
the rest of the list will have to wait, anyone want to come and do my housework?

I like to think either:
the machine would blow up
or
the metal would get ripped out of your body and fly towards the magnetic part of the machine

but it's probably something much less dramatic!

The task was really easy, they showed me pictures of things like a clock or a doll or a motorbike and I had to name them in one word, and I think they looked what what parts of my brain lit up when recognising the objects.

TA - That sounds cool!

Wow! Now have image of my bionic leg flying to pieces and attacking people while i laugh manically hahaha
