[katzg]

one new thread as requested

hope the title meants with approval

You see my boys boys lost their dad, when they were just teenagers, james would have been 13, he had an heart attack, james was very close to his father, with all his problems the bullying ect, and it shuck his world the most i think, as my other boys were able to cope better.

I hope my post wasnt to sad, as today i feel beter, and i know my boy will come to me, and trust me to help him whichever way i can, which means the world to me.

Giddy-we also has a lovely indian last night.I had a chicken balti and garlic naan,so not too good for my diet too.

I'm - just had a rubbish chinese takeaway, too greasy.

Lovely to see you on Thursday Trib, sorry if DS1 wore you out

Cratchit, what a lovely and moving post. So sorry about your brother, it must be very, very hard for you all.x

KVG, good to see you again, hope you manage to get some rest soon, you must be running on empty at the moment.

Don't feel guilty Lua, I'm happy to go anywhere! Are you feeling a bit more rested?

Had a lovely time choosing little girl clothes for my new niece today For all that she is a beautiful baby it hasn't made me long for the early days - DS2 is at such a lovely, chubby, smily age now, and is genuinely a happy little soul unless he's hungry (a bit like his mother ).

EYM, how lovely that your DS wanted to share that with you. Hope you are ok - think you would be up for a meet-up this week?

Right, I've got Heat to read so I'm going to go and sprawl out on the settee.

Afternoon Ladies

Sorry, not been lurking, been a poorly Teabelly household this last week or so [sad sniffing sorry for self emoticon] But colds and terrible throats are on the wane now so feeling somewhat more like normal, hence able to jump staright back on the pc and see what I've been missing

Trib - Happy belated Birthday sweetie, sorry it wasn't all you hoped for...if you do arrange to come down this way to meet when you see your friends we'll have a girlie celebration and leave the lads minding their kids!

2Happy - re 2nd Job hunt...am now going to take on Kleenezee parttime to make up shortfall, and remortgage as we could save almost £100 pm on our current deal! Very about your electrics!!! Sorry not keeping up with things, are you north of the border? Didn't they bring in the 'sellers pack' up there, or were they just talking about it?? Hope it's sorted out soon and not too expensively, grrrr.

Cratchit - sorry to read about your brother, my sister has attempted it 4 times now, luckily for us none were ever really meant as she was always sure of being found in time...wish things had been different for your family, x

Mrs W - big welcome to little Emily 'Tribpot' Wednesday

Katz - sorry about your fil. Afraid i'm unable to offer any advice re telling dd1, but with regards to my ds, they know things are up and hear you talking so don't avoid telling her but I'd keep it simple, she'll ask more questions if she needs to know more than you tell her.

Hello to everyone else, hope you are all well

In the Tea household our new tricks are waving hello and goodbye, putting our arms up for a pick up, and bum shuffling over to the dvd to pull it off the shelf and annoy ds whilst he's trying to watch and be spiderman

hi all !!!!!

have a really bad cold /flu been to the docs this morning and have a chest infection so the nurse put me on the strongest anti-biotics she could. having paracetamol/asprin/caffiene tabs and they seem to be helping.

took dp to the hospital this morning , we had to be there for 7.30am so my friends cousin stayed the night and took us while her friend watched my girls and took dd2 to school. he is having operation on his hand . he has a deformity and he has a pin in his index finger that needs replacing and lengthening. he will be going to theatre right now.
i am so worried about him as he hasnt had an op on his hand since he was 13y and only has bad memories of hospital (due to him nearly dying one time).

dd1 is ok . just waitng for an appointment now for the family centre . she has been referred and it shouldnt be too long . think she wants to go back to school but def not the old school she wants to go to a different one now. i told her that when she has an appointment with the lady at the centre then we will see what she says and maybe start looking into getting her a place in a new school. feeling a lot better now and i know i did the right thing. got a letter from the head mistress basically saying that they were unaware of the problems she was having and that they dont agree with my decision but hope dd1 all the best in the future!!! ffs bloody cheek of her

dd2 is fine as usual (touch wood) her asthma is settled and she still manages to go to school even though she did say that she misses her sister

dd3 well what can i say she is a lil darlin she is very mobile now but still not crawling. she has got thrush in her mouth at the moment and is a bit groggy with her teeth but still no sign of any!!! not eati ng a awful lot due to these probs. 1 meal a day? lots of bottles though.

me and dp? well things could be better but we are getting by like always. really worried about him today . 4 hours he was in hospital doing nothing untill his operation , just sitting there getting more nervous.
phone at 2.30pm to see if he ok and what ward they are going to put him on .

any way thats all from me at the moment .
sorry havent had time to catch up with everyone. will do soon im sorry
love me xxx

hi all not much to report here

good luck with the schooling stuff mama

looking foward to the northern meet up on friday

Blimey, I don't think we've ever been this quiet have we?? Hope everyone's out doing naughty but nice things and so are too busy to post

Muma - hope dp's op went ok yesterday. Good that dd1 is more her old self and wanting everything back to normal , fingers crossed your appointment at the family centre comes through quickly.

Hi ya Katz

Our new trick of the day is being able to roll from back to tummy and now back again, dd is very pleased with herself for mastering this

Hope all little ones and not so little ones are ok, catch up when you all come back!

fella home now and fine. op went fine , starting to hurt a bit but he is fine. been signed off work for 2 weeks. cant drive and i need to go out!!!

dd1 is ok getting bored at home even though we have been doing a lot of school work just recently but i think she just misses her friends tbh.

all from me xx

afternoon ladies

hope you are all ok esp. the ones feeling poorly last week.

mumma3 - glad things ok with dp. hope your lovely girl gets some proper positive support soon, the cheeck of school denying knowledge...

2happy - would that be with deep fried mars bar to follow

been busy this week doing of stuff around the house, catching up with my reading and planning my exercise rutine (not quite started doing the actual exercise)- what a few good nights will do for you dd sleeeping through and it feels great.

dd rolls away when i am trying to change her nappy,and then has a sneaky pee its like having a little cat - ok so where have i not peed
yet.

take care all

oh my spelling

Yippeee! DS is really moving now...only its still backwards ! Hope all June Mums are fine.

Logging on for a quick hello.

All's well here.Ds saw the specialist tonight.Just as I thought,he does have one leg longer than the other but only by 4mm,so absolutely nothing to worry about.
His feet are also coming along nicely.Still has to wear the little boots but the consultant was so pleased that he doesn't need to see him again for a whole year!!!!

No crawling here or even sitting up properly.Lots of bottom in the air acrtion but that's about it really.Also lots of pulling mummy's hair and finding it funny,and still loads of non stop laughing and shrieking which is fab.

Hope everyone and the junie babies are all well.x

Hi everyone

Just back from a week a Center Parcs which was soooo good!

Dd finally has her 2 bottom teeth.

Still no rolling of any kind but she sits beautifully for ages.

She's really short for her age, but very very fat for her height IYSWIM - total michelin baby! I've never actually seen her ankles or wrists because they're enveloped in chub But she's only just over 9kg so nothing to worry about I guess.

Makes me want to sink me teeth into her though- she's so delicious.

8 mth check with HV in 2 weeks. Maybe she'll roll by then - I can imagine dd becoming a bum shuffler though so maybe she won't even bother rolling.

Hope everyone's fine - can really recommend Center Parcs for little ones - totally geared up for young families and v cheap if you go during termtime.

hello allfeeling really upbeat this week, how odd most unlike me

bubb - good news on legs, somehow they always find a way to go and get what they want

dd appears to be the only junie still toothless! and 8m tomorrow!!
she now keeps shoving things in her gob until she gags and makes puke sounds, its alarmingbut nothing comes out i am glad to report

take care all and northen ladies hope you have a fun meet

great to hear some more junies are on the move! DD2 is now cruising too well and occasionally she lets go and stays standing for a minute, don't think it will be long before shes walking round!

Well today is the first day i haven't been home for lunch to breastfed DD2 and so far so good, but boy do i miss her, which is strange because i have been back at work for weeks now!

No teeth here either SFX...am sure they can't be far off as DS is getting a bit fractious

No teeth here either!

Nor here!

we've got 2 whole teeth and 1 half tooth!

okay problem for the day is:

DD1 (3) has been going to nursery (A) since she was 11 months old, just 2 days a week and since sept 2 half days (DH changed job and is home more). She soon got very bored and missed being at nursery so we enroled her at the foundation 1 stage nursery (B)which she started in jan.

She loves going to nursery A and presumed that she would love nursery B, but no she hates it, she cried for 30mins before DH left the house with her today, all the way on the walk there and he left her crying. She's not a tearful little girl at all. Whereas when going to Nursery A she rabbits on nineteen to the dozen about all the things shes going to do and bursts into tears when shes picked up at lunch she doesn't want to go home!

What do we do? Nursery A is nearer work for me and a bit of a trek to get to plus would cost extra money each month, and also nursery B is attached the foundation 2 stage she will be going to sept 2007.

Help

Katz - I don't suppose there's a nursery C?!.... I don't know anything about nurseries TBH, but I'm sure the Junies will give their usual great advice But can I ask more about your feeding dd?? How many feeds a day is she on now? ds gets bfed three times a day, which is difficult on the days I'm working to rush over to feed him. I'm not sure how old he needs to be for me to drop a feed. I'd thought about 10 months, but maybe I can do it sooner. He doesn't seem to miss my boobs if I'm late, I think it's a case of out of sight out of mind. He eats his solids really well and his growth is fine. But I don't want to drop it too early. What do you (and other clever Junies) think? (Not planning on feeding him until he's 8 anyway like the ch4 prog !)

I hope all the colds and flus are getting better now.

Muma3 - hope dd's doing ok. Any news from the family centre?

Good news about ds bubbs

Sfx you feeling better?

Mcmudda glad you had a good hol, sounds fantastic.

Chocolate - congrats on the moving! It's so cool, but at the same time a little scary to think that they're really going to be hard work now

We're off to stay at the in laws today, so will only be able to lurk at work probably. While we're away we're getting the central heating put in and, hopefully, the rubbish electrics looked at. The inlaws have left for costa rica this morning - I'm sure that's a little extreme to avoid me At least that means we can turn their heating on while they're away - normally their house is even colder than ours. Mil has left an entire lever arch folder of instructions for the house - I had to stop myself from pointing out that dh did used to live there you know!! Anyway, will catch up when I get back, best wishes to all these rapidly mobilising babies in the meantime
