DT2 has just put on his wellies and gone out in the torrential rain.

Will he catch his death of cold? Or is that just an old wives thing......he has normal clothes on and refuses to come back in. He is soaked.

ha Rubes - wine keeps me sane . We did do puddle splashing last week, the postman thought we were nuts.

oooggs · 19/08/2008 17:44

an injection of good luck is needed on this thread for so many

HarrogateMum · 19/08/2008 19:00

I know oooggs. I wish I could win the lotto and just take all the multi mums somewhere fab for a fortnight. Can you imagine the mayhem!! What do you say girls - where will we go?

oooggs · 19/08/2008 19:51

I'm easy so anywhere would do me fine - shame that even money couldn't put everything to rights

frumpygrumpy · 19/08/2008 20:37

Oh yeah, lets have a virtual holiday with mayhem all virtually paid for by HM's lottery win!

Firstly, congratulations on your big win HM First Class flights only please and somewhere like Necker would be just fab. Private butlers, sumptuous rooms (one each) with balconies and terraces near so we can chat. A private courtyard below where we can meet for cocktails. Not asking too much non? Gwan. You love us. We love you. Its just one big honeymoon

We sat this morning GLUED to the telly. I made beds and jumped in the shower in between important Olympic events. Made a big tray of toasted muffins and tea and sat down with DP and the kids to watch the cycling! What a treat!!!! My phone was going like the clappers as me and a friend sent texts to each other about Chris Hoy's thighs and how we're going to volunteer at all the school events to make coffees from now on When he blasted to his win we all jumped up and screamed and danced and DD1 said "mum, why are you crying" My phone was still going like the clappers.........Mars sent me a text asking what time the final was on as, if she missed it, she'd watch the replays........I sent her a text along the lines of "oh it was FAB, final just done, Hoy did it, we're all screaming". Then she reminded me she had intended watching the replays SORRY MARS It was the classic "turn your head away now if you don't want to know that Ireland won" moment [dunderheid] I was just very, very excited.

frumpygrumpy · 19/08/2008 20:52

And now?

Now, I'm tucked into bed with the period from hell. AGAIN.

Its not actually here yet, I'm just in the preparatory agony stage. Headache that hurts eye sockets, teeth and cheekbones. Sore back. Aching limbs. Nausea (had it all day, big waves, can't eat, don't want to drink). Soon, I'll get the bleed that soaks through everything and looks like chopped liver. TMI? Sorry!

I'm going to start a thread. There must be better options that (a) tolerating it, (b) going on the pill and (c) having a Mirena coil fitted. Surely I can do something with diet or complementary therapies....... i'm not a big fan of my current list of options.

HarrogateMum · 19/08/2008 21:12

awww FG, sounds nightmarish....the whole chopped liver thing? I know what you mean so its not TMI trust me. Done the whole tampon, several pads, several pairs of knickers, pyjama bottoms thing...

Oh and by the way I havent actually won the lotto.....erm, but when I do, Necker it is, hurrah!!!

triplets · 19/08/2008 22:20

I am feeling very very guilty and horrible as I have just lost it with Becca and now she is crying and the boys are doing there usual thing and H is in bed, has been most of the day! If I bring one down here to sleep they only think its a treat, I have had them down, talked to them, sat them at the table doing maths, stopped treats, no telly, no nintendos etc, just nothing seems to sink in! H has more or less been in bed since Sat, totally knocked out by the chemo, being snappy with me over the slightest thing. Becca slept all thru last night so I had hoped she was going to be better today, but her neck is still painful and the rash is odd, it seems to fade then comes back again. She is ok though otherwise, but is feeling very sorry for herself and if she has asked me once today when will the rash go away she has asked me a thousand times. I managed to get the boys out to a fellow MN today bless her, my dear friend Tessiebear, so that made Becs even more fed up, she didnt want to bake, didnt want to play games, just moped around watching American rubbish! Made a beef casserole, creamed potatoes, veg from the allotment, pancakes........hardly anybody touched it, what to do girls, what to do? D`y think the kids are just reacting to whats going on? I am trying so hard to look after everybody, doing all the work here, I know poor H is feeling rotten, I worry about him but I just need some time for me. This is my time, on here when everyone has gone to bed, but even now its not relaxing as I can hear them, boys talking and now after the tears and me feeling guilty she is singing! I just hope they can all go to their friends party tomorrow then I wil have from 2-7pm all for me, not sure what I will do! We have an appt with the oncologist on Thurs, that has my stomach in knots, what she will have to say. Apart from all that girls I guess I am fine, ha ha

triplets · 19/08/2008 22:35

I have just been back up to all three and hopefully that is my last warning of the evening. Something has got to change, ideally more room, separate the boys, but there is no chance of a move now, not even sure if we would be able to borrow anymore money because of Harry`s diagnosis. We have such a long way to go, it cannot go on like this or I shall go mental. Need to get them back to school, that will ease the daytime but its these evenings that get me down. I feel like putting them up tomorrow at staggered times, but feel sure one will just wait for the other to come up and it will make no difference! Feel cheated with the summer, love the summer but this month its been so awful and tonight it was dark at 8.30pm! Seems only days ago the boys could play in the garden with their friend until 9pm, feels like Autumn already. Well my last warning seems to have worked, peace at last. Matthew used to have that book, anybody remember it, Peace at Last by Jill Murphy I think. Happy Days................

frumpygrumpy · 19/08/2008 23:39

Triplets, we have that book. Its a little hard board one. A little tatty now because we ALL love it in my house. Thats it!!! Re-introduce bedtime stories One little child story for every 10 minutes nonsense after lights out. My god, the boys will HATE it!!!!!!

I'm sorry you feel bad about upsetting Becca. And you are doing your best. Call a meeting. Get the kids to suggest ways to make life different for everybody. Make it their decision. Honour their wild stuff if you can (like any food at all for dinner once a week, ice cream sandwich, ok!). But it has to be balanced by them meeting you halfway.......talk all you want at bedtime but only in a whisper.

Trips, tell me to butt out........but I want things to be different for you.......have you tried making the 'punishment' the same thing over and over. I think its not the punishment itself that makes them take note, its the boredom of the repeat that hits home. Just a thought.

frumpygrumpy · 19/08/2008 23:41

Trips, do the kids like buying music cds? Whats your local store?

triplets · 19/08/2008 23:46

Hi Frumpy,
Feel such a PITA, feel like I am always groaning on about something. Just now beginning to feel calm and its 23.45pm! Only Rebecca into music, she has her own music system, we have a Woolworths for music, quite a big store. I think tomorrow I am going to write them that letter each and just leave it on their pillow, I am getting myself so upset atm, and thats not going to help anyone.

frumpygrumpy · 20/08/2008 00:01

I keep losing my connection ........damn! Trips, I write my DD1 a letter sometimes when I feel I have noticed that she has been fantastic but that I've been too busy to make mention of it. I don't want her only being recognised for the crap. She answers me by letter and its great. We say stuff we've thought about not just what pours off our tongues in the moment.

Its a great method of communication.

You are NOT a PITA. Where would I be without you girls? Who could I share my chopped liver with? I love hearing from you. We walk with you darling x.

I'll say goodnight as I don't know if I'll stay connected.........Sleep tight, now GO! You are not sleeping enough
