Yeah having an episiotomy after birth for like shits and giggles happens alllll the time. What a bunch of buttmunches. Sorry you're going through this Det

[Passmethecrisps]

That's astonishing det. I am aghast at the laissez faire attitude to the health and well being of staff. Are you going to seek union advice?

Don't know what's wrong with me today. I've got a face like a slapped arse. Moped round sainsbury's full of woe is me having to label check and not being able to feed penny cheese (what a disaster) and then came home to try to force feed p her dinner. Then I decided that I could make a fish pie in the time between tea time and bath time. What a fucking disaster. Between p refusing to stay away from the cooker and falling into the cat's meat and the cat deciding that the metric ton of haddock I had given her wasn't quite right and could I try again with more. Honestly, it was like one of the opening scenes for casualty where you sit at home watching as the person takes that inevitable step off the kerb into a fucking bus.

Anyway.

P is asleep for now. DH has made me sit down to play with my NEW PHONE and is finishing the fucking fish pie.

Hia clarella. I frequently emotionally vomit on my childminder about eating and sleeping blah blah blah blah. She just smiles nicely and nods her head.

PR that sounds miserable. It is much cooler in jocklandshire today and there is meant to be a huge break in the weather to tonight. Thank fuck.

I live in a gated riverside property. There is a boat competition starting tmrw, visitors from Canada rented out a couple of apartments. A group of 20 or so people sitting downstairs drinking and talking loudly. There is nothing here. The garden faces nothing, the river is on the other side and has beautiful views. Why don't they fuck off there? Why the hell are they in the garden sitting on one bench and the rest standing around it when they can go out and sit by the river? O has been crying bec they wake her, they are so loud.

[Passmethecrisps]

Oh lilly that would drive me mental. So they could essentially have the riverside to themselves I presume? Can they not hear O crying? Tossers.

[Passmethecrisps]

AND LILY ONLY HAS ONE 'L'!! Aaaargh.

Somebody make me less dumb?

[PetiteRaleuse]

That's crap lily and pass

boo to shitty days.

I can hear thunder. But what's the point in thunder if it doesn't come with lovely cooling rain eh?

[YellowWellies]

Sounds like you need or Pass my dear. I do hate those days every day when even the simplest and once relaxing pre baby activity becomes akin to climbing K2. I've been known to go and roar in another room when having a day like that. I hope you feel happier tomorrow. Today I made a chicken and sweet corn pie (with a creamy oatmilk nutmeg sauce bechamel type job) and it was yum but to offset this success I put too many clothes in the washer (with the buggy cosytoes ) and wrecked my favourite top. Oh and we got the cats collar back from the last garden he was beaten up in. We've really done fuck all of note. On the plus side I'm not having contractions and trying to push a baby out of my nethers with the world and his dog looking at their watch - so I'm feeling rather

We've decided to aim for October updiffing if poss so I can wean Jonas and eat dairy for the first two trimesters. But best made plans and all that....

[YellowWellies]

PR I looooove thunder. My favourite weather.... I want a good electrical storm

[Passmethecrisps]

Thank you peoples.

I have that song in my head now PR

I hear thunder
I hear thunder
Hark don't you
Hark don't you
Pitter patter raindrops

And so on.

[fruitpastilles]

Grrrrr pass so do I now lol, sorry you've had such a shitter of a day!

det I am so on your behalf, I was going to say make sure you fight it, but there is no doubt in my mind that you will.

[Lily311]

Yes, the whole riverside can be theirs. But no, they need the garden. Fuck them. I shut the windows and shutters but it's 40 degrees during the day and was looking forward to the evening breeze.

The funny bit is, they rented the penthouse apartments from abroad as they are stunning and wanted to save on the tickets for the competition. Now none of the apartments have views of the race as it's on the other side of the city.hahahahaha. And it's predicted that this week is the hottest temp above 40 degrees. I hope they will enjoy the heat where no shadow can be found...

[PetiteRaleuse]

I'm happy to say I don't know that song :)

Well we've come inside DH is scared of storms but I hope it will be a good one. Since the weather forecast is for the heatwave not to break for at least another week I am fairly pessimistic that this will be a proper storm.

[Lily311]

And where is the royal baby??? I know, I know, leave the woman alone but I want news!

[Passmethecrisps]

Lol YW. I have this vision of you having cheese sweats while eating an entire wheel of Brie

[Passmethecrisps]

I want to know exactly how many centimetres dilated she is and whether she has told William to "fuck off to the far side of fuck you baldy bastard!"

[Lily311]

Haha pass. I'm sure she did.

[Evilwater]

I've finished my weekend of nights hurry! but I've only had 3 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours. So if I don't make sence it's that. Work was ok, again not the correct number of staff or a good skill mix. The boss was in a fucking bad mood when she arrived this morning. Saying that having another HCa was a "fucking waste" and generally being an arse. I'm glad that RN stood up to her and said it worked out very well.

n has been very sicky again, it's just stomach juice and sour milk. Both smell nasty, he's also having green liquid poo of which there is lots. He seems to be drinking more milk, not less, so much for weaning, he still has his cough, but he's now coughing during the day now. So no improvements there, I just wish I knew why he kept doing this!!! Is it reflux? What I need is another member of the quiche with me at the drs, backing me up. As every time I go, I feel like a munch-howsans mother.

P is good.

I'm knackered, and off to bed very soon.

[ChasingDaisy]

And if she has professed her love for the anaesthetist yet.

I'm scared of storms too. We might be getting one tomorrow.

[ChasingDaisy]

Ugh, my ex friend has posted lovey dovey pictures of her and my O on facebook He's my baby you cowbag.

[StuntNun]

I need to catch up with the thread but just wanted to mention that my GP has refused to prescribe Gaviscon and Ranitidine together so we've only been given the Ranitidine. If I had to choose I'd rather have the Gaviscon as it stops him being sick all the time, whereas I'm not sure whether the Ranitidine is actually doing anything for him or not. Has anyone else been told something similar?

[Passmethecrisps]

Love a bit of stormy action. Something must be in the air as aged pussy has gone mad. She has chased two cats out of the garden and tried to catch a magpie and two sparrows. She is like a old coiled spring. Thankfully she seems to have worn herself out and is purring peacefully while paddling at her bed.

Poor wee N Eric. That does sound refluxy. Remember though that reflux can be episodic and it could pass. Just like adults if a baby has a virus or something it can cause an upset stomach and reflux. You could pop to the docs and explain the symptoms before asking for some gaviscon. Quite possibly a few sachets of gaviscon will ease the rumblings in his tummy. Well worth detailing those symptoms to the doc.

[Lily311]

chasing I asked everyone not to put pic of O on Facebook.leo's niece did put one, she has 600 friends. I told her to take it off otherwise i cut her out completely. I'm a bitch I know but she is my baby and I don't want everyone to see her there. So tell her if you don't like it!

[Passmethecrisps]

Eh? stunt that sounds bonkers. P got IG, ranitidine and domperidone all at once. I have never heard anyone mention that they couldn't have both. Could you ask for carobel? Mix it like a paste and administer just like IG with BF. does the same job.

[PetiteRaleuse]

chasing you can report the picture and ask fb to remove it as being identifiable as your (ie the one with parental responsibility) child. Might work?

[Jims]

Chasing I feel like that about pictures and cuddles F has with people I like, let alone people I don't!

So Day 2 of Operation Nap In Cot when a lot better than expected today. After a re-settle 40 mins in to his lunchtime nap, he went down for another 1 hr and 30 mins. I think he'd have gone longer had I not woken him for our next-door-neighbour's first birthday gathering. However, I'd be hugely surprised if it gets repeated tomorrow although I can but hope. So much better than his hour-long screamathon yesterday!

I massively alternate between feeling sorry for Kate knowing that so many people are interested in her giving birth, her parenting choices etc; and just being a bit jealous that she'll have so many people to help her. We have no relatives nearby to help with the kids and my Mum is very sick of me trying to incite her to move down.
