November 07 - Now they are FOUR they want so much more!!

[RGPargy]

New thread ladies to celebrate our DCs turning 4!! (!!!) :o

[RGPargy]

Loopy - so glad you are getting the help that you need. You are always very welcome to come on here and rant away, or just babble away if you feel the need to talk about anything.

Jet - sorry to hear about the assessment. Must be so frustrating for you!!

LOM - Hello! Good to hear from you :) Glad you are recovering well and being looked after.

Greedy - Glad that William doesn't have the pox but what an utter pain for you!

I'm pleased that DD isn't the only kid talking about death and dying. Thankfully it's eased off a bit at the moment, which is a good thing as i'm going through a panicky stage about dying at the mo, although obviously DD knows nothing of it as i only feel panicky when i'm lying in bed and i'm over-tired. Hopefully me being back on a healthy eating plan will sort out my head. It's amazing what a long term overdose of crap food can do to your state of mind and mood!

LOM - I was trying to figure out your fb status but didn't want to ask in such a public place - it all makes sense now. You know we're all here for cake and hand-holding when required.

Greedy - when DD got a rash we had to take her home from nursery and it turned out to be non-contagious, but chickenpox was doing the rounds at nursery at the time, and she did appear to be getting it, but it never developed as the erythema rash took over. According to the docs at the hospital it was her body's way of fighting the pox. I wonder if my children are destined never to get it. It is so annoying having to take them out of nursery though - having said that our nursery tend to wait, and are happy to take kids in with illnesses that some nurseries round here won't let you send them in with. Your weekend sounds lovely fun though!

Loopy - it sounds as though things might be going in the right direction for you, I hope this team are able to sort things out appropriately for you.
It's not the teaching that stressful - I still love that bit, nothing comes close to being in the classroom with great kids who achieve their potential or better, it's just all the other stuff that makes it so difficult.

Loopy - the waiting must be hard but I'm glad they are taking you seriously and getting the right teams involved.

Jet - I never thanked you for your kind offer of clothes for P. I dug around and found a few things which will bridge the gap so think we'll manage. But thanks so much anyway. I think we completely missed 18 -24 with T.

RG- T asking lots of death questions too including: "How will I get kisses and cuddles when I'm deaded."

Recovering well from the op. I even managed to walk T round to his friend's house today. Think my days lazing in bed with I player and my kindle are seriously numbered.

My Sis is about to have her last chemo and my other Sis is having the same op as me in a few weeks so hopefully that will be it for us !

[Greedygirl]

Hi Loopy - who/what are they referring you on to? Who is supporting you in the meantime? It is horrible that you have to wait so long but I am so glad that you have got the right people involved.

LOM - glad you are on the mend, must be nice to be up and about. Fingers crossed for your sisters' treatment too.

[Greedygirl]

I do think that, if they have identified you as having acute depression, they should be trying to see you sooner! But hold on in there Loopy, hoping they chuck a ladder down soon.

[RGPargy]

Hi LOM. Glad you are recovering well. :)

Loopy - I'm sending you a virtual ladder to grab hold of whenever you are ready. Big hugs. x

[Greedygirl]

Great news Loopy. Fingers crossed they will be able to help.

Well my DH is in bad books tonight having decided to "fix" the sluggish drainage in the bath and flooding the living room via the light fitting in the process. Honestly. I have been tutting lots!

Been to soft play with a really good friend and her cutie pie DS today but, as much as it pains me to say it, I don't think my DS and her DS are getting on v.well anymore. Kids are not good at hiding their feelings either! Awkward.

[Greedygirl]

But how annoying that he cannot just be friends with my friend's kids! He ought to be more considerate . The great flood has abated and DH has been forgiven but only because he immediately said sorry and didn't try to blame it on me (his usual tactic).

[Greedygirl]

Oh Loopy - what a tough decision to make ! But perhaps some space to have some uninterrupted sleep will give you a fighting chance?

[Greedygirl]

Loopy - from the outside looking in, perhaps he is just very worried and doesn't know what to do. It must be incredibly hurtful to think that he has betrayed a confidence but people panic in these situations and do things they wouldn't usually. But obviously I don't know the ins and outs of everything. We are always here if you need to vent. xx

[littleoldme]

Loopy - What a difficult time for you all, it must be so tough. No advice , other than to second Greedy's comments. Love and hugs from me x keep us posted, we are all thinking of you.

[RGPargy]

Thinking of you Loopy. We are all here for you. Big hugs to you xxxxx

[littleoldme]

Certainly don't worry about me. I'm fine and plan to remain so - hence the op ! I've had a lovely week in bed being fussed over and cooked for. We're all here to hold your hand as you would be ( and have been ! ) if was one of us. Let yourself be looked after lady !

On a slightly different note, trying to work out how our household has got through 10 litres of milk this week. that is rather a lot nest pas ?
