Eliza I still b/feed 3-4 times a day and have had 2 periods ...one in January and one in April. Dd is 7 months.

Thanks for the info :) I am a panicker as you know and like routine. Should chill a bit!

Will have a look at recipes. There's some lovely pasta ones. A really nice fish pie too if you like fish

Chicken is my fave too so I've had lots of those. Will try to have a look tomorrow :)

Eliza no period here either. Huzzah.

£35 a session Det - think we're going to do a couple and see where we are. It could be woo. It could have something in it. My minds open for now.

That's pretty reasonable. I'll bear it in mind if you get good results. Keep updating!

Kyz I have a fish phobia so definitely no fish here!! But yes, recommend any good ones, always looking for ideas!!

Thanks donna

high five yw I'm not a freak then! (Well for that reason anyway)

kyz E has puree, bit of finger food and milk or water in a cup all at the same time. Then a bf followed by her tube feed. It's a bloody mission! But if she ate normally you'd read it as food plus milk straight after. Takes so long I have no time for gaps!

Hello all. I am v bunged up & ill. Feeling v sorry for myself. No voice and horrible sinus pain.

DS was v wakeful last night & has already had an extra bfeed tonight. First time ever I am not sleeping next to him as DH says he will deal with wakenings.

Have read thread but can't quite think straight so will just bid you goodnight.

Oh except to say Eliza I haven't had my period yet and I'm bf 3-4 x per day.

And Dixie well done on weight loss.

Oh and Katie/Kyz I also call DS Bean, although didn't when pg.

Peace love & sleepy dust to all x

JJ That was me last week - sympathies. The worst was over by 4 days.

I am annoyed no surprise because I am having to resist raiding the fridge for kit kats. As the grill is broke - most of the things I have for supper I can't have. I'd normally try and have my healthy extras if I hadn't had them - by having cheese on toast. Can't have it. Can't grill any mushrooms and tomatoes to nom on. Can't have toast with dippy eggs.

I really need that grill fixed. They were supposed to come today but the part didn't arrive. Is coming on monday instead. .

And it is costing me £70 fucking quid. Raaaaaah!

kyz we wing it here. Generally solids offered an hour after food. Though sometimes straight after. Like det says.

det are you serious about the bank holidays? I don't think can do that??!!! Holiday is 29 + 8 bank holidays? I was about to have this argument with my boss once my request comes back. If it comes back. They've already pissed me off.

Been offered a job tonight. Not nhs. Not cancer related. Not sure long term it's best. I dunno. Do I want to go back to working split shifts??!!

YW I want to get J done now after reading what you said. Very reasonable rate too. A good thing about living up here I guess.

Detective that is so not fair about the BH pay. I have never heard of unsocial hours paid whilst off sick. I guess that was AFC.

Bollocks about a catheter and bladder reflux.

Get yourself checked out MM.

Pass I think your doctor is incorrect as there would be vomiting. Unless the carobel is that fucking good.

Tried fat boy on two meals today. Had first meal fine, just fruit. For tea I gave him carrot and sweet potato. He gagged then had a bit and loved it, then decided he was going to blow raspberries. I was covered in a fine mist of orange. Little sod.

My other brother, the twat not my hero, commented on FB last night. DH had put a pic of J at 8.30 saying 'not ready for bed yet' mainly for his mum. Bro put 'Bedtime routine? He should be asleep by now' Fucking twat. I am still fuming. Any thoughts on an appropriate response? All mine are too rude.

Fucking app

Does he have kids??!!!

Yep, we won't get any bank hol entitlement while on maternity leave. I'm itching for a fight though. I might challenge it.

Normally if you work shifts, when you are off sick, you get averaged pay, taking your previous 3 months wages and averaging them to give you your sick pay. Now that is being removed and you just get basic pay. So for many of us who get around £500 extra month for working these shifts, it's a kick in the teeth.

I've given my all to the NHS. I've worked some horrific combination of shifts, working horrendous unsocial hours, such as nights, followed by sleep day then an early. We are forced to work 2 weeks of nights a month. If all these things are slowly being eroded, people just won't want to work unsocial hours. And people will just go off sick anyway.

I had a long chat with a very forthright colleague of mine tonight. She's a womans champion. Real advocate for womens rights. She has been off sick for the last 4 months with work related stress after she voiced the opinion that we were working under a dictatorship.

I feel sad.

A move north of the border might be in order. I'm serious. I'm off to look at jobs/houses.

Yes. Two teenagers. His wife has Munchausens by proxy and is convinced their daughter has Lupus even though the Lupus hospital said no. He also had the cheek to say to my mum that if the doctor had said it was not reflux then it wasn't. He is such a twat. He was swapped at birth I swear. Or mum kept the afterbirth by mistake. My other brother has Aspergers and is fucking awesome. And very good at maths. But not hugs.

Come up near me Detective. The Wee County needs livening up

I think I'd call a cunt a cunt then! Just reply with sorry, cunts don't get opinions!

detective I have no wise insight to your situation. Have a that's my alternative to swearing.

jj hope you get a good nights sleep and feel better tomorrow.

Off to bed now, night all.

If only I could put that

I thought someone replied to my status then. Then I realised cunts can't reply.

I could be here all night .

Found some jobs for community midwives in midlothian and east lothian

How about 'you cunt be serious?'

J just downed a 9 oz bottle. He needs pies clearly.

VQ O took 11oz at his bedtime feed a couple of nights ago. You could have picked me up off the floor... we now make up 2 8oz bottles at bedtime...!

He needs milk free pie .

Takes all current emotions, shoves them into bottle, corks bottle, puts label on saying "Do not open until next Wednesday"

Hi, Everyone!

TheDetective I don't fancy your cousin. No offence, he's just not my type, and I just thought the thread needed some balance.

Bryzoan Thank you for worrying. I'm fine. Just stand clear on Wednesday

I think you are going to have to tell us your type now Luis!
