Well I just phoned the creche leader, and a friend who has offered to run the creche tomoorow so hopefully that's that sorted.

I have got a real guilt complex - if I say that I am going to do somehing, then can't do it, I feel so guilty and get all stewed up! Is it just me or is anyone else like this..?(Please don't say it's just me!)

MaryBS · 09/06/2007 10:02

RL - no, I do it too. Yes, I have a stunning dress - and IMHO, very good value for money!

((((((CD))))))))

You ar a superwoman.

Throwing up still. But honestly, if I gat not kidney stones this will be a breakthrough!

notsofarnow · 10/06/2007 06:33

dc up with dawn chorus this morning -fantastic not. Tried putting dvd on and going back to bed but they were killing each other. So I think i've managed about 5 hours sleep, oh this is going to be a wonderful day.By the time we get to church they are going to be tired and miserable, which will make me miserable.

We have a four hour birthday party this afternoon so going to be exhausted me thinks. Good job i'm not in work tomorrow really.

Roseylea · 10/06/2007 08:17

Hello all,

CD glad the wedding went well - and that your dds were so good!

Oh harrissey, I do hope that your infection nad thrush cler up soon!

NSFN I know all about getting up ridicuously early with the dcs! There was one autumn when they were in the habit of getting up at 5 am, then ythe clocks went back and it became 4 am - eeeeeeeeek. Thankfully they are very good at staying in bed until 7 am now!

Could you pray for dd please? The imetigo is getting worse. The poor girl is covered in huge, open spots / wounds. It looks awful, but she is quite happy and is colouring in with ds atm. I get very stressed when the dcs are ill, and the thing about impetigo is that it looks shocking. So please can you pray for me, going off for the day, and for dh as he stays and looks after her and ds. Thank you!

harrisey · 10/06/2007 09:17

feeling much better this morning!! Hallelujah!
If this is it, it is the first urine infection I have had in 5 years that did not land me in hospital with either pyelnonephritis or a kidney stone. Whooopeee!!

Off to hear a good friend preach this morning - he's at college with us and training to be a minister - and taking him out for lunch to debreif after! He's getting married as well next week, and his fiancee, who would normally do this, is going for her makeup practice!!!

Hopefuly the sun will come out and we can go for a picnic in the Botanic Gardens! That would be nice.

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday.

CaptainCaveman · 10/06/2007 10:02

Morning all

Praying for a peaceful productive day.

In the true sense of multi tasking I will be doing housework in silence and praying at the same time

Rosy hope you have a great time at Vinopilis we went a few years ago with DH's work and it was great fun, want to go back one day and buy a few of the wines, we hadnt any money to indulge when we went before...

We are all fine here am praying for you all.

Please think of us on Wed, DD1 is going into hospital to have a Nut allergy test, she goes onto the wardfor it in case she reacts.
Am really hoping she doesnt as its a pain (I have one)

PandaG · 10/06/2007 20:34

Evening all

glad to hear that you are feling better Harrisey - praying that it continues.

also pleased that the wedding went well.

Hoping the early risers weren't too grumpy for church and the rest of the day.

If you could pray for me I would be grateful - I've trapped a nerve in my neck/shoulder, don't know how I did it, been in pain since Friday, and am now chaining ibruprofen and paracetamol. it is ok when I move in a controlled way, but if I twist my head sharply I feel sick with it. Drove the DC to swimming lessons yesterday, and was almost crying with the pain when I had to look right and left to pull out. Ow ow ow!

MaryBS · 10/06/2007 20:44

Hi - just popping in to say we had a great time last night - am extremely tired due to not getting to bed till about 2:30am though! We arrived at the hotel mid afternoon yesterday - and were upgraded to the "executive suite" - normally over £500 a night! It was huge! With separate sitting room, ensuite AND bathroom! Lovely old fashioned hotel, where nothing is too much trouble for you "let me carry that carrier bag for you..." LOL. We then wandered down oxford st, before going back and getting changed. There was a champagne reception, delicious dinner, hosted by Richard Bacon, entertainment was extremely funny comedian who spent his time taking the mickey out of the sponsors - Tesco. He won't be invited back! Beverley Knight sang for us as well. Had a lot of fun on the dodgems and the rest of the fairground. Spent some time with the chocolate fountain, dipping profiteroles in! They had a girls area, which was pretty busy. Had a glass of pink champagne, but steered clear of the Tarot readers . Had more fun in the "boys toys area" with arcade racing games! Then back to the hotel for a nightcap and bed in our luxurious room. This am, after a big cooked breakfast we wandered round the British museum before heading back to collect the children, who'd had a great time! Am feeling guilty about not going to church, although I did go Thurs....

Harrisey - how are you feeling now? Hoping you had a good day today and that you continue to feel well

RL - praying for your DD and the impetigo and for your vocation.

CD - glad you had a lie-in and are feeling good today!

Sooz - how are you today?

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 10/06/2007 21:01

Wow!! Mary - your Ball sounds amazing - I am glad you had such a super super time - bet it did you & DH the world of good = Who were the children with?? Glad they'd had a nice time too! Don't feel guilty about missing church, you silly thing!!

Poor Panda - ouch to your trapped nerve - praying it will be released soon & the pain would ease. {{{{{Gentle Hugs}}}}}}

Will pray for DD1 WeirdBird, honey!

Right, going to summarise & begin new thread now .....

MaryBS · 10/06/2007 21:13

Aww Panda... am praying for your shoulder. Have you tried the ibuprofen gell that you rub in?

CD - my mum looked after them. It DID do us good!

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 10/06/2007 21:47
