Nobody Loves me, Everybody Hates Me, I Think I'll go and eat Worms

[BibiBelle]

Glad you are feeling better star . Did you decide to get the movers to pack for you too? I'm guessing that will take a lot of the ressure off the next two weeks

Hippy what's u with them? Hoe it's just colds and nothing more disgusting, and hope you don't catch it too.

We had a lovely walk, the lake was far too windy and cold to walk round so we went off into the woods instead. Both DC managed to get absolutely filthy falling / jumping in muddy puddles but they walked for 90 minutes without complaint so am very impressed. They were to scummy to go in the cafe after so are curled up on the sofa watching Flushed Away while some raspberry & white choc muffins bake in the oven. Am allowed one after our big walk, hurrah

Sorry for the missing p's at the beginning of my last post, damn you crumb-laden keyboard

Heh, no, we're packing ourselves but getting movers to do the rest. For us, that's luxury!

star i've got loads of spare fybogel if you want me to post some to you, just fb me your address

fjorgn dcs have both got viral respiratory infections (nhs direct sent us to the gp at the hospital) :(

[hugs] Hipxx

Oh no Hippy {{hugs}} hope they are better soon and you manage to get some rest too.

Fjornygy - walk sound lovely but brrr. You remind me I have to pop to HM.

Star - so please my ramble reassured you.

LOTI - How are you? I have been worried about you from afar and often found myself thinking of you hoping you were okay.

Oh no hips . Have the hospital been able to give you some medicine/treatment plan? I hate it when they just say - you will have to wait it out and they will improve on their own.

Bloosy hell star 2 weeks?? 2 feckin weeks? is that all the time you have? no wonder you are not feeling 100% about stuff. Have you managed to sort your work and leaving?
I second and third what everyone said about your second DC scan. You just know so much more and so much more seems to be at stake. Deep breaths and try to relax and remember that the vast majority of 12 week scans are perfectly 'normal'. {{hugs}}

We have taken the girls swimming today and had great fun with a large circular float chucking them into the water. Our neighbours came over for roast chicken late this avo. In addition to nice food and a glass of vino we sorted planning our Murder party, found some lovely house swap properties for our summer hols and sorted a final design for our relandscaped garden. Hurrah

bibi hope you had a nice time with your dad and fab time at the trade show. Window shopping of course

BBBB lovely to have you back and glad DH has had the opportunity to experience 'family life' first hand

2 weeks? seriously? sorry star, missed that bit earlier.

thanks for the hugs loti and bbbb

blimey crisp, sounds like you've had an incredibly productive sunday!

doc was really lovely. explained that because P is such a porker that the dose for her age wasn't 'going to touch it' so she's on double dose calpol and saline drops. T is on ibuprofen and calpol. if they're not better by wednes, we're to see our own gp

i'm so tired, really hope i get some sleep tonight. its awful when they're ill, they both just seem to want mummy

Hippy - if you can get DH or you to Boots or any pharmacy I found the Calpol saline spray worked so much better than the plain snot drops, but it does make them scream! Both girls get -strapped down-- happily have them now.

Aw hippy your poor babies :( I hope you get some sleep tonight too. It is strangely lovely but definitely knackering to be needed so much. DS is all over us and especially me atm, perhaps because he senses lots of change around - insisting on sitting on my knee to eat his meals etc. Very cute but a bit confining!

And thanks for the Fybogel offer, I'd love some if you get a minute to pop to the postbox Will send my address to you.

star be warned.. i have a year's supply! Actually, it makes sense to only send you a couple of weeks worth to where you are now and i'll send the rest to new address once you're there. good plan?

bbbb sounds good, thank you. i've never used snot drops of any sort before. not sure how ds escaped them so i'm happy to go with your expertise! i'll get my mum to get some on her way over here tomorrow. have dds gone to bed ok tonight?

BBBB lovely to have you home, you have been missed

crisp - sounds like a lovely day

star - well done on finding somewhere and please don't worry about the scan.

Hips - hope they're feeling better soom and you manage some sleep.

Last night with Dad was tiring and complicated his breathing was terrible. He was banging on about the family party. I managed to find the stuff, with great ease, that he was adament that my aunt's had taken from the house. This still didn't seem to satifsy him and he's now on another crusade

Trade show was fine and I met some nice people/new stockists. Forgot my business cards though

Busy week even though I'm not on shift till Fri. Starts with visiting friend in hops tomorrow, resigning from Trust, Parent Council Meeting and trying to sort out the finances for both businesses/split them up etc. Rock n roll here

bibi well done on finding the 'lost' object. sorry to hear your dad's got another bone now though. is it something you can help with?

Glad you had a good(ish) weekend bibi. My Dad get very stroppy these days so i completely understand.

DD2 keeps having a major problem as she keeps mislaying her light up wand. This means she can't do 'wand practice' which is clearly a very important thing

Evening.

Lovely to see you BBBB, sounds like an amazing trip!

And Bibi, hullo there, is it ok to say here thanks for that bit of business... she has posted on FB re deliciousness so you have won me big friend points

Hips bad luck on double-child-illness . Glad the doc was sympathetic though and hope you get some sleep tonight...

Fjorgyn and Crisp your Sundays both sound idyllic!

Star golly, two weeks, I was stressed moving within the same postcode over five months... Brilliant to have found a nice place so quickly though, a good omen surely! Pregnancy does weird things to one's brain doesn't it. I am still not that worried about this one... but I am anxious x100 re DD. Which is bonkers. On a brighter note she is now v cute re 'Bob in mum's tum'... or womb as DH has taught her to say - she will explain if asked that mummy's tummy has a stomach up here with her food in and a womb down here with Bob in And she talks to him/her in a funny high-pitched voice, usually to sing Rock a Bye Baby or offer to share toys if she thinks they're babyish And if anyone's still reading she is doing well in the Big Girl Bed - no falls since following Fjorg's advice re duvet barrier. Takes a long time to settle but still sleeping through so so far so good...

Hips - first of all it was photo albums of the last 30yrs of my mother's life. These were taken by my aunts just after she died when they barricaded themselves into a room in his house and locked him out of it I found them in the first place I looked when I arrived. Then it was a tartan shoe box full of photos that they'd taken not infact the red albums that he originally thought. That was in the cupboard. Well, they're away with the wedding album them. OK. That took me till the third place but it was in the fucking wardrobe right next to where he was sitting on the computer. Not hidden. Not out of sight. Right there at the top of the pile of stuff sitting under his suits.

He has now decided that this pile of jewellery that he can't find has been taken by them. This has come up before but the new addition to the saga is that my uncle apparently said to him that it was very nice of my mother to give the sisters all her gold jewellery.

I can't fecking cope with it anymore. My parents left me with the constant companion that is self doubt and I've had it. I was so upset about him not having the photos and desperate to beleive that my aunts hadn't taken them. He convinced me that he had searched every last inch/nook/cranny in the house and wouldn't believe that my aunts didn't have them. Because of their behaviour towards me over the last year I faught against believing it but the doubt still crept in I've not asked him to be a tad more reasonable but it's difficult to play piggy in the middle between a man I'm supposed to love unconditionally but refuses to believe he's in the wrong. And two ladies whom I adored and though adored us in return.

My SIL also mentioned that my Dad has told them on previous occassions that I'm not allowed my mother's rings as I will 'no doubt melt them down and sell them'

Crisp - not being able to do wand practice is serious thing and not to be made light of [wags finger]

Pru, many thanks for letting me know! Please do feel free to point her in the direction of the KnB FB page - I could do with a recent friendly review

and may I say how much I'm loving 'bob' such an underused name these days If another lovely DD she could be Roberta!

Oh bibs. Am so sorry you have to go through this . If it is any consolation, DFather can be particularly unreasonable and nasty to mum when he is feeling at his worst. Just so sad all round [Big hugs]

Oh and DD2 will love you forever with that comment

Oh Bibi how awful, I don't know what else to say

Arse. the feckin mice have chewed through one of my iphone cables. bastards

The sooner we can procure a cat, the better...

oh bibi, i don't know what to say. at least the photos etc haven't been lost/stolen. please try not to worry, we'll come up with a plan

pru i'm loving bob too

both dcs finally asleep so i think i'd better try and get some myself now

dd2.removed.my.spacekey.sending.much.love.to.all.and.working.to.fix.this.bitchofaproblem!be.back.soon.i.hope.

where.did.that.space.come.from?????[angry]damn.keyboard!!!

sorry TS but you've really made me smile!

i've got a present for you A big white space

Crisp - my dad has always had a chip on his shoulder regards my mum's family. Loosing Gabriel and the argument just gave him the excuse he needed to cut all ties. My mother would have said nothing and kept the peace as usual rather than upsetting anyone.

I unfortunately land right in the middle Before I used to stick up for them and tell him I was unwilling to listen but now I find it very difficult. Even after I found everything he didn't admit that he was wrong or apologise. I said I hope he hadn't accused them outright to which I got an indignant 'of course not'

Two of my aunts spoke to him at the party yesterday. One at length regards her family never once enquiring after us. The other to say hello and the third didn't speak to him but she's a stroppy mare at the best of times.

I love our extended family parties. I adore my great uncle who's 90th it was. I wanted to do his birthday cakes as a gesture. We were gutted we couldn't go, as were the girls. The worst bit is I can now feel myself trying to close ranks on our little family unit and keep the fecking rest of them right away from us It shouldn't sodding be this way.

And the floodgates have opened, sorry
