[PlumBumMum]

Stealing Ali's title as just realised we're out of room, and hopefully all lost slatterns will find us!!!

Morning

It seems strangly quiet here now DS1 and DS2 are at school, the getting them out of bed thing wasn't too bad and they left in time . I don't know how I am going to get DD to nursery when she goes, it means everyone needs to be dressed and out the door by 8.30, including me!!

Morning ladies
Sneaky post from work

Have finally made a decision on hospital re birth. Feeling relieved. Now have to tell midwife. She did tell me they won't get my notes in time .

Ali - This morning it was 3 chocolate stars in a tin. Tomorrow it will be 2 if he still needs them. Didn't manage to make the banana cake yesterday and will get a loaf tin today as need one anyway. Thanks for advice though.

Flame - lol re rolls. Theres initiative.

Alice - Happy Birthday for yesterday.

Plum - How do you fold fitted sheets? We must know!

I, on the other hand, and feeling fed up & down. DS2 is not improving on these new drugs and i had convinced myself he would.
Also just been to hosp with ds1 for a follow-up appt re his testicle-descending op and one seems to have 'pinged' back up. may mean more surgery to bring it down again.
a scan needed first.

And have decided that my 1 day a week work isn't worth it anymore so going to give up which is fine but...

JKS i'm sorry you are having a hard time of things at the moment Things always come at once don't they? Is there something nice that you can look forward too when things seem particularly bad? A night out, a day out with the kids, a holiday? Remember to look after yourself too
I was thinking of you the other day when we went to Lakeside

Morning all

Alice - Happy Birthday for yesterday!

Rainbow - I can't get out the door by 8:30am and I've only got one child!!

JKS - . It's crap isn't it when it all descends on you. Is there still a chance the new drugs will help or do you always know within a few days? Big (((hugs))).

Flame - have a lovely sleep

HMHB - I'm going to make banana cake today too I think, it's soo yummy.

DS slept really well last night, woke twice but once was at 11pm before I went to sleep so I only got woken once at 4am and then he slept until 9am - so I did too!! Still feeling pretty positive this morning. We are busy for the next two days so I want to have a real blitz today and get the house sorted out.

Can hear DS2 waking so best go and do his (late) lunch. he's off track with sleep today, what fun.

DS3 Is being a grump, he is teething, poor thing, he keeps biting hard objects like his highchair tray and the TV cabinet. I have given him Calpol and put some gel on his gums. He is so clingy, somehow I have got to peel the spuds for tea, either with one hand or whilst listening to him cry or maybe DS1 or DS2 will be able to distarct him when they get in.

JKS I've had days like that, my mum descibes them as days when you have a black cloud following you about. for your DS drugs too work>

I have officially quit for the day. I had all these good intentions with this afternoon, then DS was a git outside the suit shop, sat on the floor for 5 mins and refused to move (he knows it hurts too much for me to carry him if he fights me ), and then kicked hell out of me when I finally got him to the car. I had plans to sort clothes etc. Ain't happening til tomorrow.

JKS What a bargain!!

I really must start thinking about christmas, I am determined to be more orgainsed this year. Last year was very rushed and stressful, DS3 was only 7 weeks old and christmas day was just a blur to me because I was very sleep deprived!!

JKS - fingers crossed for the drugs then. Yey on the work though, at least that is one less thing to think about while you are going through all this with the boys.

Flame - . Just curl up this afternoon and then start again tomorrow.

Rainbow - teething is hideous, DS seems to have been teething forever. He has bitten through the foam on the bar of his buggy and now when he chews it black stuff goes all over his mouth and face. I need to order a new one.

Flame - poor you

Thanks again everyone, have stropped and marched round the block with ds2 and feel a tad better for that. luckily i didn't bump into anyone i know or they'd have got an ear-bashing!

Gah, I was doing so well and then my sodding mother has to ring up and start going on about the row with my brother. I wasted an hour on the phone to her getting all upset and then another hour wailing on DH. I know she loves me, but she has a bloody funny way of showing it at times.
I am now drinking beer. DS has just conked out half an hour before dinner so he's in bed and the tea is on hold

JKS - glad you're feeling better! We are like a seesaw all of us on this thread atm - one day we'll all be cheerful at once!

Hi everyone, my computer is broken so just popping on to say hello. My computer is broke so I am using my sisters. All is well but missing the slatterns thread!!

Cikecaka so glad to see you back I was very worried about you!!

HUGS JKS I really feel awful for you as I know that feeling only too well thinking everythings going to work and then it hits you like slap, even when you think you have prepared yourself(more hugs)

Flame hope you enjoy your 9 to 12 break

HMHB you must have missed that lesson on previous thread to Martha Stewart thread

Ali I got lots of cutters and colour pastes at cake shop, now I'm nervous [eek]
I still need loads more but I am just getting a bit at atime and my friend says she will lend me anything I need that she has in the mean time

Rainbowdrops (like new name by the way had noticed a couple of other Peppas about)
Every year I say I'm going to start early, and then every year something crops up

ds needs Judo suit & fees until xmas
dd needs whole new dance uniform(now she is in older group)
also I ticked she could go to violin lessons this year as she got picked out of her class for doing well in the free pilot lessons, I had forgot about that until she came home today buzzing that she had met with violin teacher[eek]
The school is taking them to the pantomime £12 each
and I have at least 8 birthdays between now and Xmas, wonder would they all like cake
Plus the usual bills need paid

Hello Cikecaka was wondering where you got to

Oh God don't bother reading my post that boring and depressing for me
