February 2011- the one where life gets better for all of us.

[GOLDdebka]

New thread open for business!!

I am anticipating MUCH weight loss, job improvements, sleeping babies, good health and one very eagerly anticipated BFP. :)

Reastie, our half term was last week. It means less work as the schoolies are only term time. Am jealous of your product test!
I'm doing ok I guess, just trying to get through feb best I can.
I had taken up crochet as I want to help with the Mn wooly hugs so that is keeping me busy!

Ohh blizy what a wonderful reason to learn to crochet. I've tried a couple of times to learn but just can't get a hang of it, so let me know any tips if you manage to work out how to do it!

I hate you reastie I entered that and I'm far more in need!
I never get picked. Bastards.

Tbh Ledkr I'm quite surprised I got picked, I think only 20 got chosen on that one

blizy I saw you on the thread and wondered how the crocheting was going

reastie well done on the cream selection, at ledkr

We had a lovely day out yesterday - weather was great, girls were brilliant and only bickered for half the way home Have stuck a few photos on the profile.

Emski Happy Birthday Noah!!

Morning ladies! Ah wiggs your girls are lovely as always!

Well done ledkr on speaking up with in laws...is only way, I find. We're in same boat as you in that they need to stay with us when visiting...

reastie well jel you got picked for the eye cream test!

blizy hope you're well in this horrid month for you. I'm flying back to Glasgow on Friday for a few days....tell me it won't be snowing up there (dh is stressing thinking it will be...he's certainly not hardy anymore since moving down south ).

Belated happy birthday to all the babies!

Been ill since early feb with a horrid virus/bug thing, which has left me with a nightmare cough for the past 2.5wks...struggling to sleep (& apologies in advance for tmi...esp over b'fast) but had pink sputum on Monday night from the cough, so off to docs today, tho doubt they'll be able to give me anything.. Need to get something before Friday as MIL has COPD (I now sympathise with her having that, after this bloody constant coughing) & SIL is 3 months pg so don't want to pass anything on to her when I see her...

Hello to everyone else....haven't been on in a while so can't remember who to wave to

Hi all, have just com on to do a quick post and pm ledkr. Sad news, my gma died at 2am this morning, she kept having a good day then a bad one but got worse really quickly last night. I feel for my mum, she is there with her bro and sister but they'll be so much to sort out.

Happy birthday to all the babies I missed, and hi to all, I have been reading just not up to posting atm. Dp and I are off work today and A in nursery so going to go for lunch and watch django unchained at the cinema :) but he's off to sweden for 5 days tomorrow with his band so it'll just be me and A

Right ledkr am going to pm you my number about our potential meet tomorrow, not sure whats happening yet so thought that would be best!

ponyo so sorry about your grandma xx Thinking about your Mum xx. You and A will be grand I think

Grannyapple Hope you feeel better soon, take care x

Aw ponyo so sorry about granny. I know how horrible it feels.
Can't do meet sorry as have hospital apps Easter??
wiggs you feck off you!!
granny sounds grim bless you. Yes it's the staying that's intense for me. No space it privacy and can't make tea without making for them etc.
They are going today. Tried very hard to hang on but dh and I are standing firm.
I've already said to Ella (in a loud voice) we will have a subway as I'm not cooking dinner cos working!
We are at the procrastinating stage after cereal toast and many drinks

Ponyo, I'm sorry to hear about your granny. Hope you are ok. X

Granny, no snow. We have only had about 2 days worth this year so far. Sorry you ar not feeling well, hope you are better soon.

Ledkr, hope the inlaws leaved at a decent time.

Happy birthday to Noah!

I have no wee ones, so have the day to myself until school pick ups. Today was Zoe's due date, I am full of "what if's" at the moment.

Ponyo I'm so sorry to hear the news of your gma . The same thing happened to my Grandad just before Christmas so know where you're up to. x

Granny hope you feel better soon, sounds rubbish. How many weeks are you now btw?

ledkr it's today they go isn't it? Hope they do leave early as requested.

Off to the physio this afternoon for Alices feet. Finally got an appointment after waiting since August .

Went to gym this morning and had official weigh in logged at gym. Haven't been weighed in there since pre my anaemia issues before christmas and the gym man actually did this face in a 'blimey riley you have lost alot of weight' way

Ems happy bday Noah

xposted blizy for you today. Lots of hugs. It must be so hard to think of all of the what might have beens and how unfair it is. I hope you're OK (well, I know you won't be but I hope you will come on here to chat to us when you want to). Is DH still away? xx

Thanks all, I am ok, feeling bad for my mum really.

blizy what a horrible end of the month Feb is for you. What are you going to do today? Sending you a hug x x

reastie I thought you looked v slim on that pic of you and A cleaning on fb well done!

ledkr at subway, good plan! Well done lasting it out with pil. Mine came at the weekend, A was pleased to see them bless. I did think of you and think how lucky I am they dont stay here, they are good enough to get a hotel or drive back. I don't think I could cope if they were staying in our house too.

wiggles lovely pics of your gorgeous girls btw :)

Back later

Hi Ladies...its me....can I come in??
Thanks for the birthday wishes for Noah. He was so excited this morning!

Blizy, am thinking of you more than ever today and will light Zoe's candles when the rabble have gone to bed tonight.

Ledkr, I too have come close to divorcing dh over in laws. I quite often think I should never have got married and had children as I'm kind of stuck with them now, in the nicest way. I just want to be left alone sometimes and to invite people in not have them barge their way in, and no one, but no one, stays ay my house, it completely freaks me out!!

Hi to everyone else and much love. Will try to post more often and not just read and run!

So sorry about your gran Ponyo. X
Thinking of you and Zoe today blizy. X
Happy birthday Noah! Enjoy the Bob cake!
Well done on your weight loss reastie.
Hope you feel better soon granny.
Well done on standing firm ledkr. Hope it's the start of a new pattern and/or dh goes with Dilly to them!
Hope everyone else is having a good day. Taking E to the doctors shortly and going to see about speech therapy as he can be very difficult to understand at times. Other times he will be talking about proboscis monkeys and be perfectly clear.

blizy - I know it's already tomorrow there but I'm thinking about you and Zoe today. The end of February must be so difficult for you and DH. xx

Emski - happy birthday to Noah, lucky him to be born on such a fabulous day.

ledkr - Hope the PILs cleared out early without issue.

reastie - well done on the weight loss!

Well, I had L back at the GP this afternoon. He woke with cruddy eyes this morning so I phoned the GP's office hoping to just get a prescription but they wanted to see him. Turns out he has an ear infection as well. So he's on his 3rd round of abx this year. The nurse measured his length too and he's just over 88cm.

Special thoughts for blizy and mr blizy today. Xxx

ems I was wondering where you were. You describe how I feel perfectly re pils staying. I wouldn't want my own mum staying here. I'm very anxious about the family weekend holiday on may too. Seems like we have our own lodge but bil has already been going on about pil babysitting for us!! There is one thing I never do on holiday and that is leave out the children. I took mine all over the world on my own and we all stay together. I'm pissed off that he assumes We want to dump our girls on a three night break in a family holiday park
American-poor l ears are so painfull.
tad ds speech is slightly unclear. She has low level hearing loss from her cleft palate which causes fluid build up. They are dragging their heels tbh and I'm concerned its affecting her speech. I'm going to self refer to speech and language today. She still signs very well but we use the word too.
I left house at 10 yesterday to drink tea at my mums do lots of important things. If I'd have stayed pil wouldn't have left.
When I got home at 5 they had gone but clearly eaten lunch and left me with NO BREAD. Helped themselves to crisps etc.
I just don't get why they were still here at lunchtime. So frigging weird.
I worked last night which is rare. I got in at ten thirty and dh hadn't saved me any tea if even started making it despite a really busy day of appointments. I was so fecking angry I just lost it.
I leave him dinner everytime he works late. I had a boiled egg!

RobinSparkles Happy Birthday Lottie I know you lurk

I am aware of how early it is

Morning wiggs

Can't stop my feckkng eyes watering its so early.

I know both Anna and I had the worst sleep last night, not sure why? Just decided to get up and have a nosy at MN - saw your pil thread

D slept well just decided to get up at six. Dh on lates so I did my bit but shall be enjoying a restfull weekend
I'm shattered though.

Hi all,

hobknob and co have been over to visit this morning, have just left. Hobs thanks for coming and you left the tiger cuddly here - let me know what your address is if you'd like me to post it to you. I can confirm her new short hairstyle as absolutely fabulous and she's looking very slim.

I bought a new duvet this week. I swear it's like sleeping being hugged by a cloud. I'm not exaggerating. My old duvet was the cheapest I could get at the time and I've always hated it. This is just amazing in comparison. Maybe these non sleeping babies just need the magic of a wonderful new duvet

Robinsparkles happy birthday Lottie

Ledkr I read a bit of your PIL thread. . Maybe they just thought as no one was in no one would know that they left late. Tis odd though. How annoying DH didn't make you any dinner also.

We're off to a kitchen shop tomorrow to choose our new kitchen worksurface . We have to start all over again with our choices since we are now not having a big kitchen diner

American poor Leo with his antibiotics again

Tad how did you get on at the gp? Do they have to refer him over there (ie you have a fight to be referred like you do here) or do they refer pretty readily if you have the right insurance?

Ems I miss you on here!

Ponyo hope you're OK. Thanks very much for the lovely comment

reastie but why stay in the first place? I keep wondering what I'd have done if I'd been pretending to go out. I'd have been fuming and had no home
Dh and I have just been on a sneaky cinema trip leaving d with my mum.

led tbh is it wrong that I'm at the thought of you pretending to go out only to find them hanging around all day . It is odd. I haven't read the whole of your thread - did you ask them why? Have you been outed somehow then (new nn)?
