JKS - ! Hope he is ok.

I am feeling really low this afternoon, one of our best friends has just e-mailed to say that she lost their first baby a couple of months ago at 16 weeks . I am so so gutted, they were here only a few weeks before that and we were all getting so excited about the baby and making plans. Have had a little weep, really wish DH was here to have a cuddle.
Had been thinking it was weird not to have heard from them, and so I e-mailed her a few days ago to see if they had a free weekend soon.

Didnt do much today as I went to visit D.

I'll tell you something. I am feeling very ashamed of myself after visiting her.

Nothing like seeing 9 rooms with 6 of the smallest babies you have ever seen all in incubators in each room to give you a short sharp dose of reality.

I will NEVER complain about the poxy housing market again.

Some of them were smaller than my hands put together. Jesus Christ.

After having a mental kick up the arse I have decided to sod the housework today ann spend the extra time with the kids. I am so lucky.

See you all tomorrow.

JKS, hope that your son is OK and it's just superficial damamage.

Hi everyone,

you are all doing so well and not in the slightest slatternly.
So I'm keeping up the side for the slatterns, but only managing to put out the washing and a tiny bit of washing up.
It was sport's day and we went on to friend's so no housework was done.

Ali sorry to hear about your friend's baby. Very sad for them.

Ipom it is so emotional to see tiny tiny babies. It does put things in perspective.

JKS thanks for the input about filing. Funnily, we do have a very (far too)large filing cabinet which is a nightmare to use. I think we need to down-size that one.

CWWM hope your sister gets back to you.

Am just off to give DS his bath then must come back and make a tiny list for this evening. DP is cooking (hooray!)

JKS we are going to Marwell, it is only 20 mins away from us so makes it not too long a day out. Will be DS' first trip to one so we are v.excited!

CC - glad you're ok, where are you off to?

Plum - nightmare re. microwave. We have a fancy digital one which DH bought just before we met and it is still going strong 6 years later so they are worth the money IMO.

CWWM - it's crap falling out with a sibling isn't it? Me and my brother are still barely speaking over his wedding which is in a few weeks. I am going but don't want to, I get that shakey feeling inside whenever I think about it and just want to hide under a huge duvet until it's all been and gone.
Hope you got a positive response from her (((hugs)))
