emsie I didn't discover mn til L was about 2 months old so I wasn't on anything before then.
In Spain they're (total generalisation) paranoid about the meningitis jab causing autism and yet we get ours done without a second's thought, it all depends where you are! I waited til later just cos 13 months seems so little to be having 3 massive jabs.
Sounds like you've got a brilliant weekend planned.

Having gone to school abroad I rarely run into anyone from either of my schools. My roommate of 3 years visited in the summer and that was rubbish so can't imagine what it would be like meeting up with someone I didn't get on with!

cake I'm so, so Envy of you going out and getting a bit pickled. I'm desperate for a good bottle glass of wine but I feel rotten if I have more than about 3 sips when pg.

CakeandRoses · 25/01/2012 19:22

your school days sound mad!

CakeandRoses · 25/01/2012 19:32

hi,
well d is in bed after having to listed to f cry all the way through his wash and story, i went off to settle him twice and wind the mobile but every time d followed me and cried at the mobile music! f just had to cry in the end while i read and cuddled d, poor d! he seems to be asleep now and im not too stressed so all is well....................till later!!
kk i'll have a look at the dr brown bottles, i have had them recommended before, i remember you having that cure thing, what was it again, did it work. thanks for the advice, it will pass i know.................
emsie how Envy am i of your weekend, i swear i would just sleep and read, cimema alone sounds nice though.
cake u still have a hangover now, my god u must have caned the wine! i havent been drunk for ever and i think a hangover would kill me right now! was your night out nice though.
im starved, hope dh comes home soon as im stuck holding the baby! think he needs a feed but im fending him off with a dummy as its not even 2.5 hrs since the last one!

Yes it's deep fried breaded escalope of chicken (or pork but chicken far more popular) topped with bechamel sauce then cheese. I don't deep fry mine, just do it in the oven. But in a restaurant or takeaway shope they're deep fried.

My tea tonight was lush - veggie pizza puffs (pizza but on puff pastry instead of pizza base) with homemade chips and coleslaw. Yummy.

Emsie I'm very Envy of your dh leaving you on your own! My dh won't even take the boys to the park on his own, nevermind away overnight :( Like chul, the only night I have spent away from ds1 was the night I had ds2 in hospital. Other than that I have never spent a night away from them

tsc that pic you posted was hilarious. I really wanted to 'share' it but not sure my mother or fil would be very amused Grin

MyLifeIsStillChaotic · 25/01/2012 19:42

x post - see my description was perfect Grin

viksam · 25/01/2012 19:52

Dh is still not home its been over 2 hours, I bet they've stopped for dinner on the way home.

Tis nice to have my feet up with choc watching the NTAs though!

CakeandRoses · 25/01/2012 20:35

just posted a pic of myself on the fb group - just in case you were interested how my colour thang was working out!

Chulita · 25/01/2012 21:19

emsie it didn't sound like you were showing off, I think we're all jealous Grin

I should have gone to bed an hour ago but instead have crocheted L a cupcake to add to her collection. Just finished it so might toddle off now!

MyLifeIsStillChaotic · 25/01/2012 21:50

Night chul

No I didn't think you were showing off at all!

How lovely is that lady on One Born Every Minute? Everything she's been through and she's always happy

kkfairybrains · 25/01/2012 23:28

I'm in the bloody hospital with E. She was screaming and distressed again this afternoon and was still like that when I brought her to the docs and they sent me straight to hospital. Got here and she was the same so they've taken bloods ( awful :( ) and an x ray on her tummy they think its bowel or tummy. She's had loose pale poos since saturday. God love her it's horrible seeing her in here and in pain. Then about 2 hours ago she perked up after pain relief so they're going to wait to see does she get bad again before doing abdominal scan. So we're being kept in for the night. E is fast asleep now and i'm looking at the mattress on the floor thinking it's going to be a long night! The poor little thing has a canula in her hand and all and i'm fighting back the tears all evening :(
Emsie I'm a hairdresser so i've set up a salon run from a salon in my house and it's going well :)

CakeandRoses · 25/01/2012 23:48

oh kk that sounds awful Sad so scary for you. what kind of thing are the doctors thinking it might be?

really hope they're able to help E tonight and things are looking better in the morning x

kkfairybrains · 26/01/2012 00:14

They want to rule out introverted bowel or something like that its called. Where one part of the bowel goes into another and causes pain and then it pops out again and thats when they're ok. It ties in with how she has been the last 2 days but that would mean surgery I think so really hope it turns out to be something simple. It's just so hard to tell with them :(

viksam · 26/01/2012 03:01

kk thats awfull, i so hope things are ok. Not good that thay are going to wait to see if she gets bad again, poor E and poor you! How was the mattress, i bet you didnt get any sleep even if E did.
I have decided to come into the conservatory, its raining but i can hear the birds, its nice in here and i dont have to be paranoid about waking the house up. D is awake alreadt though, fingers crassed hes settled now!!

Chulita · 26/01/2012 07:05

Thinking of you and little E kkfairy, no fun for you at all. Hope you managed to get some rest and that they work out what's wrong with her quickly! xx

viks I'd love a conservatory :)

0545am this morning

DesperateHousewife21 · 26/01/2012 07:13

Oh no kk how horrible for you both, how is she doing this morning?

D still waking at 6, is it fair for me to get up with him every morn leaving dh to lie in til 7:30, then I get one lie in a week at the weekend? I'd love to lie in to 7:30 every day!

wifey6 · 26/01/2012 07:16

KK....hope all goes well at the hospital. Thinking of you both. Bear

MyLifeIsStillChaotic · 26/01/2012 07:42

Oh god kk how horrible. I hope things are sorted quickly.

No it's not fair dh, but I don't even get one lie in a week so no sympathy from me Wink

ds1 was up 2am to 2.45am Angry With his new-found 'I don't want to be in my bedroom/I don't want to be alone' routine Angry I'm fucking sick of it. ds2 slept through bless him.

Trudyla · 26/01/2012 08:00

Oh no, kk. I hope she's better soon. Nights in hospital are horrible. Just be reassured though that it's normally worse for the parents and E is probably quite happy as long as you are there. I hope it's sorted quick and easy and without surgery!
