A bit of all this ttc-ing, but no babies for a while here.

Mini, if the new flour doesn't make any difference, I'm going to give it a thorough but gentle clean, and if that doesn't work I'm going to see if the electrical repair shop can help.
Sorry about your trouser/duvet ishoos.

Freaky, that picture is so cute.

Plum, I would never have imagined you as blonde. Dark or red (Renee) I'd have thought.

Bad night well morning here got woke up at 4am by FIl at the door Gaby had been rushed to hospital after having some sort of fit at their house.

I spoke to the ambulance man on the phone and they said she was ok and FIL took me to hospital.

All is fine we are home now they checked blood pressure/bloods and some other stuff and let us come home.

She has been referred to outpatients as a precaution but the doctor seemed to think it was a one off or a night terror.

She is her usual self and playing on the floor with L.

Feel terrible for not been with her though.

Little lists today.
HV coming out for L aswell.

Make Beds
DC dressed
Load of washing in
Hang some out
Clean kitchen

JustKeepSwimming · 02/06/2010 08:06

CWWM - for Gaby and you. Glad she is home and being herself. Has she had the bug you've all had? could be linked to that? the bloods should tell them, keep a close eye on her - sure you are anyway. Hope it's a one-off.

Well took a pg test, negative, so a bit confused now, will just have to wait a few more days and see what happens, if anything.

CWWM - how scary for you, fingers crossed it is a one off.

Very slow this morning, DS was awake in the night for over an hour Not sure what the problem was, he kept saying 'time for dinner' which suggested he was hungry! So he had a BF, and a big beaker of milk, and a dose of Calpol for good measure incase it was still his teeth bothering him. Seems fine this morning.

JKS, I liked having a bump. It was an excuse for having a big belly, instead of my usual just being fat reason.

Alice, have you got a spreadsheet?

Morning all,

CWWM what age is Gaby? Poor wee thing hope she is ok

I was up through the night last night with shoulder, will have to ring doctor from some stronger painkillers, I got up and took my migralieve which worked, so I think standard parcetemol(sp) aint doing the trick

Wasting I was a little blondie babe toddler, then through my teens hairdressers wouldn't believe I never had highlights, got my first highlights for my 21st and have been on the slippery slope since,
I am a brunette now if I let it all grow out, BUT my dbro is as ginger as they come, we couldn't be more opposite if we tried

I also love having a bump, with a baby in it, trying to get rid of this spare tyre at the minute so I can have a baby bump

waves to everyone, Alice hope you are still taking it easy!!

Right I really need to finish VAT return

JKS I know what you mean about the mat clothes, with dd I didn't buy any because I was in bots and couldn't afford any so just squashed into normal clothes until I came back at 30 weeks (I didn't even show til 5/6 months though) then with ds I bought a few bits but still didn't want to spend any money on things I was going to wear for 3/4 months. I think I have 2 pairs of trousers and about 5 tops so felt really blah all the time.

Plum I think I must have missed that pic. Put it up again!

Popped down to deliver thank you card to wc nan and I think she feels a bit abandoned by him She said she hardly sees him anymore and when he does come he just runs through all stressed and busy, she really seems to miss him bless her.
