[CantSleepWontSleep]

New thread just for you star!

Well, hopefully not just for you, or it could get a bit boring talking to yourself .

I wish my surname really was patience. How cool would that be?

How was your first night as a tooth fairy, myjob?

Thanks for all of your positive comments Myjob Pistachio I know what you mean about the ttc bit, it's all that waiting and not knowing. Myjob I'm sorry you feel so and I hope for you that there does become a way to have a third somehow.

Not much to report here, back at work and overloaded already. I'm now coordinator for three classes and one is in a real mess so it falls to me to try and sort it out. It's a real baptism of fire and makes me long for July when I can hand the job back to it's rightful owner! J is continuing to act far too old and throw amazing strops. They aren't tantrums anymore, more what I would expect from a 5 year old, bottom lip sticking out, quiet voice 'I wanted to watch one more Peppa Pig' and today in the car fake crying! Surely he is too young for that malarkey? Mainly though he is good so I shouldn't complain too much.

HP Q's video is so cute!

Oh and yes Myjob congrats to ds for loosing his first tooth. Did the fairy come? One year my brother wrapped half a peanut up in a tissue in the hope that the tooth fairy would be fooled. She wasn't

Pp I posted a photo over Christmas of Q doing the lip out face. Same thing. Lip out, sulk and a fake cry/whinge. Utterly annoying.

I hope you filled your day, myjob
50p is such a BIG coin! What a lovely surprise!

Q has such a fun imagination (see fb status). I absolutely love it. Also, He was sitting next to a little boy at football during a drink break on saturday and made a fist with one hand and said "a shark ate my fingers, see?" then spread out his hand "oh! He spit them out! My hands taste like rotten cabbage! Can you see the shark? Here it comes! Watch out! Oh! It just swam right by us. We are so lucky!"

Evening, just checking in.
V quiet here tonight.
DS1 has a very nasty rash that I'm hoping is an allergy to his new shin pads (for hockey) because I haven't a clue what else it might be - itchy and stinging, he was in tears in the bath.
DS2 has just had a sudden episode of upset tummy
DH dealt with this and then he decided he didn't feel well and went straight to bed.
DD went to bed without a screaming fit for the first time in several weeks (suspicious).
All silent upstairs at the mo
So, just me...
Can you tell I'm at work tomorrow, and it's an important day as I have my year end review with my new boss - so simply can't a) be ill or b) be looking after other people who are ill.
Ho hum.

Oh fingers crossed for you, pepper! I hope all stay well!

Csws about the bone marrow thing - I know that's for expat on here, but does anyone know... I thought I was on The register but haven't donated since abing Q... So has my time n the registe expired? And does the childbirth blood transfusion count? Now that I know not everyone who gives birth has a transfusion...

Typos autocorrect arhhhh having to abing? Wtf

Your time on the register doesn't expire star, but sadly now that you have had a transfusion you are not eligible to give blood, and thus not eligible to donate bone marrow.

That's horrible. They should explain that before giving a transfusion. They just came in and asked me if I was ready for my transfusion. To be honest I didn't even realise t was blood at the time I was in such shock from everything and kept being close to passing out.

they don't give transfusions unless people really need them star, so explaining that it would stop you from giving blood won't and shouldn't be a priority.

I know you're right, you just never know and if I could be a match for someone I'd want to do it.

Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well
I am tired.
Common theme among mothers.
Good thing we love our children

Myjob it sounds like you need all your blood at the moment to keep you strong! I hope you wake up feeling better tomorrow and get to enjoy the party.

So glad it's Friday here. Dh is out tonight so J and I have spent the evening playing dominoes (his new favourite game) and snuggling up on the sofa together. I'm making my first official order of cupcakes for my friend's daughters christening tomorrow. She is paying me which is a bit scary as I'm worrying that they will turn out terribly and not be worth paying for. I'm really hopeful though that at some point in my life this could be a career change so I need to get experience now. Other than that we have a trip to the Transport Museum planned as our year tickets finish this weekend and then just relaxing...I hope.

HP- Last term I'd collect J early when possible and head off to the cafe in our local library for chocolate cake too. The simple things can be so lovely can't they

Pp I had a conference in London and it ended early so was a rare treat but definitely lovely
Good luck with your cupcakes!

Myjob and pistachio I hope you are both feeling better soon! xx

Morning all, beautiful day here, cold, crisp and sunny.
All the children went to school/ pre-school happily and i pottered round the shops and had a coffee and hot cross bun.

Hope all well.

Sounds very lovely pepper. I'm a bit

Report writing season and I'm wayyyy behind. Damn it.

Well you won't be today!
up at 4am with DS2 being sick
DH has had to call in sick and go back to bed - unheard of - as he has an upset tummy.
And DS1 was literally, just stepping out of the house when he had to rush to the loo (not sick though)
So everyone is home.
On a Wednesday
I am mostly prowling round the house bleaching anything that's stuck down and boil washing anything that isn't .
And I was going to a friend's for lunch today

Obviously i am fully aware it is actually Tuesday
ahem.
