I didn't tell you what happened to the wo older girls did I? Cos I know I couldn't talk about it without crying for months (still can't in RL).
They both nearly drowned. They are so lucky to be alive.
DP ended up in hospital having his feet and back stitched and cleaned after clambering over rocks to get to them...
A german man helped rescue them after they ahd been swept out to sea and he ended up cutting his face open on the rocks.

I really thought I'd lost them...shit I'm welling up now.
It was awful...

I was stood on the beach holding dd3...someone came up to me after about ten minutes and said 'were one of those girls yours?'...I nearly collapsed...they were all out of my view for about 20 mins.
When the girls were finally seen, I had to wait ten more mins for DP to be carried off the rocks as his feet were cut to ribons. He said he never felt a thing until he knew they were safe.

God I love that man!!

I will never forget how lucky we were..when life is shit i think about that day...

fuck fred! I never knew that! I thought you meant the mc!

Am welling up now reading your posts.

Your dp really is the most fantastic man.

fryalot · 07/03/2008 11:50

right, a beach....

Dropdeadfred · 07/03/2008 11:54

I know you did squonk..I didn't mention it before cos it was just too horrible to remember.

The thing is it was actually the day I was having the mc, which is why I was laid on the beach feling bad and not really notcing that the elder two were drifting a bit..

I will tell DP you think he's great...(he does have his mere mortal moments too y'know )

Phono..wher did you go in Italy?

marmitemad · 07/03/2008 13:12

oh my goodness, Fred. I thought you meant the mc as well and my stomach was churning when I was reading your words. So, so glad that it all turned ok but understandable that you have bad memories. The 'moon is a new start though and those beaches look lovely, I've been trying to persuade dh go to a villa in Italy for years.

I am going to nick the mushroom idea for myself, any more ww tips Fred?

Sorry t

oh my bloody god Fred . Was trying to read whilst holding screaming DD and was crying. Thank god they were ok and thank god for fabulous DP and German man. Holiday was bad enough with your mc, esp as you said it was such a bad one (not that there would ever be a good one). I cannot imagine how you must have felt that day.

Was not even sure I managed to post earlier. DS1 was being all cuddly on my lap and was then putting his head down onto the keyboard. Pressing all manner of things. He typed his message and I quickly pressed post before he managed to turn computer off and he managed to do something to it so it all froze. Only just come back on as went into town with him.

Marmite have posted package, was £4.25 so not bad at all. Should arrive tomorrow hopefully, but if not it will be on Monday.

Have not looked at links of beaches as have to get DD fed in a mo (she is not a happy bunny at mo). All three managed synchronised poos earlier. I was out with DS1 and he had a huuuuuge poo in Mcdonalds and when I came home DS2 was having his bi-daily one, and DD had managed one too! DS1 then had another one before his nap, and DD has just had another too. Lovely.

Squonk you looked fab that day we met, and even fabber the following week in Brighton. But good news tho that your body is going to become "your own" again now. I lost my libido way back and it has never returned. Poor DH .

Both babies crying, but thankyou for your kind words all of you earlier, I honestly was NOT this calm when I had just DS1. I would sob every day, and get so worked up when he was crying, now I just play on MN and go "laa laa laa" and let them get on with it .

Oooh yes enjoy JR, I think he is very funny...

Am "cooking" M&S cottage pie for DS1 for supper. More home cooked food from me .

Egg · 07/03/2008 17:06

Things I failed to say earlier:-

Phono fingers crossed for DP that he can still get the train driver job. Every small boy DREAMS of being one! Hope he does well with online WW! I am like him. I ate SIX crumpets with butter yesterday . I bought them for DS1.

Synchronised periods... Well I have not had one yet since DTs were born, only stopped bleeding two weeks ago but I guess one will be on the horizon for me soon. Doesn't feel like it is happening today though.

Right, DS2 is now crying, just when I want to give DS1 his supper.

Oh, and I only keep a log of what the babies eat etc because there are TWO of them and I would be sooo confused otherwise. If just one I would have stopped once they were on track weightwise... but otherwise I can never remember if it is 2 or 4 hours since last one fed (easier if I manage tandem though of course as only one time to remember).

Right, suppertime for eggboy1 .

Dropdeadfred · 07/03/2008 17:33

Thanks for all your kind words girls. It was horrific but i do have to remember that it allturned out okay - and valuable safety lessons were learn't.

Egg - your life is shit pooey...literally!!
Squonk, you are a fabulous woman whatever your weight but I do know what you mean about feeling 'not in control' of your body.

Looking forward to Brighton!!!
