Do you work or is minding the kids enough for you? I have not got back to work yet due to pnd so my contract was terminated.

I was on that one first but I could not see any effect. I am trying to reduce my tabs at the minute. I tried a few weeks ago after talking to the doctor and my cpn but I thought I was going to hit rock bottom again so I increased them again. I have been having real bad dizzy spells that is why we were going to reduce them. My dh thinks they have made me worse. He does not understand what I might be like without anything.

They could not hold my job open as I been off from March 2003 on Maternity leave and then due back around October 2003. So I had been on the sick from then and attending occupational health. There was nothing they could do as I could not give them a date within the next 6 months when I would be back. So much for our caring NHS. I was a nurse in the City Hosp.

Hi I live in bangor, mum to twin boys aged 3.5 years. Only saw this board recently. I work fulltime and boys are with a great childminder. They are in nursery school at the moment and will start primary school in september . june birthdays so not too happy about that. Love to hear from you maggie

Hi there I would love ro do something completely different rather than nursing,
My youngest sons birthday is 14th June so he will be one of the babies in his class when he starts. It seems unfair where as my eldest son was 5 in the August and started school in the September, so he is so well advanced.

I have not got mine yet. How come you got £268 is that interest as well?
I was telling my 6 year old about the money and he is raging that he is not getting money.

How are you?
I can not seem to get organised this morning. My 6 year old is back to school after half term and I have all these plans as usual.
Do you get out much?

MY email is [email protected].

Do you know of anyone looking baby stuff? I am looking to sell cot, pram, cradle, swing, changing table, toys clothes etc.
I do not think people buy much second hand stuff now. Everything is from a pet and smoke free home.

Hi Joesy and 1980louisianna, No my boys are non identical and very different from each other.Joesy ,It seems very unfair about your job. Had you been there a long time? I am looking to get rid of a lot of stuff too. I think you are right about everyone wwanting new stuff these days especially the very early stuff. My garage is coming down with toys and stuff and I can never be bothered to clear it out
1980louisianna, it must be tough dealing with ADHD. There was a programme on about it recently and watching some of the children looked exhausting. Is your DS on medication? I worried about one of mine at one stage as he seemed to have no concentration span at all but he seems a good bit better now. maggie

Hi maggiems I had moved to the city hosp in 2002, maybe things would have been different if I was at the Royal where I was for years. I was sort of glad it was terminated as now I can look for Something else when I am ready rather than any pressure on me to get back before I am ready. The union said they were within their rights.
How are you finding working full time? I did it for a while but I find job share was enough.
1980lousisiana have you taken the boys to Diggermania yet? My eldest seems to enjoy it.

Got £268 this morning in the post for ds.

Hi again. I dont mind working fulltime sometimes as sometimes its better than being at home. I loved being at home when I took 10 months off after boys were born but all I get now is I want , I dont want. I need, Where is?, why?. They talk about the terrible 2's but the three's are worse. At the same time I would love to go down to a 3 or 4 day a week so I could have some input to bringing them and collecting them from school. I am considering this as an option. DH doesnt know this yet!! I gave birth in the Royal and thought the nurses were just brilliant !! I have very happy memories of my time there. Where is diggermania. My boys are digger mad?

It is in Larne just behind the Highways hotel. It is great. It has about 12 or more JCB diggers out the back. They do not move but they all have the real contols etc which the kids can use to lift stones, move things etc. There are stewarts on hand to help where required. Your boys would love it. My eldest was digger mad for long enough when we first moved into the house we are in as it was still a building site. All he saw was diggers and dumpers. There is also a soft play area, ten pin bowling games arcade. There is a cinema coming at some stage and go karting. At last because Northern Ireland has not got much. I was spoilt when I lived in San Diego for a year when Ds was 2.
Do you go to W5? It is great we were there on Sunday past.
