chasing best of luck for today, little sips andrest as much as you can.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 06/11/2013 06:31

chasing you poor old thing! like the other say! wish I was nearer would come and help you out like a shot. Keep trying with the water and take it slow. Even if you shift the bug will take you a few days to get your strength back. Xx

Sophiathesnowfairy · 06/11/2013 06:56

Good luck with the move today stunt hope all goes well. Wanging a carb free casserole your way!

Happy birthday little E. Hope you have a great day kyz

Must start thinking about my Owl Cake today. Hmm

Pikz · 06/11/2013 07:40

Happy birthday little Kyz!!!! Xx

ChasingDaisy · 06/11/2013 07:44

XMIL is having Oscar overnight. XP is coming to get him now.

PetiteRaleuse · 06/11/2013 08:03

It will give you a chance to rest chasing

Pikz · 06/11/2013 08:07

Good luck today stunt

Chasing its good. You will rest and recover xx

ChasingDaisy · 06/11/2013 08:11

I'm ok with it. I've never know back pain like this. It's ridiculous. But I will lay on the sofa all day and watch daytime tv.

PurplePidjin · 06/11/2013 08:22

kyz please don't go. It's not the first time that word has been used here - hence the public post - but the first time i haven't been able to sit on my hands. Most people assume it's fucking bastard, but it's not.

applepieinthesky · 06/11/2013 09:22

Happy birthday mini kyz and to anyone else I've missed.

pp I hadn't realised the origin of the word either. I know it's not acceptable to call someone a retard anymore and rightly so, but hadn't even twigged where that word came from Sad

chasing I hope you feel better soon and I'm glad XMIL is taking O off your hands so you can get some rest.

I'm out at the cinema tonight with DP, DBro and his gf. We're going to see Captain Phillips which I've heard is very good. I love Tom Hanks, he's one of my favourite actors. It will be a late one so my mum and dad have offered to have C overnight. I'm not sure whether to leave him there or not, I don't like to be parted from him but they want to have him and would have to pick him up in the morning anyway so I'll think about it.

Elizadoesdolittle · 06/11/2013 09:32

kyz huge birthday wishes to E. you've had such a tough week. I'm so glad he's home and able to spend his birthday with you. Enjoy x and please don't not post. I really enjoy your posts. We all know you said that word in innocence (I didn't know what it meant too). Anyway hope you have a lovely day.

chasing I'm glad you will be able to get some peace.

vq E woke covered in vom too. She missed her evening dose of meds (bad mummy forgot to take it with her to the in laws and I put her straight to bed when we got home). I wonder when on earth i will be able to stop the meds.

Going to get her weighed today. She's finally moved into 6-9 month clothes this week so I'm hopeful for a gain.

YellowWellies · 06/11/2013 09:59

VQ hmmm not sure on the undigested food. Omeprazole works by reducing stomach acidity and some proteins will be less digestible but the gut processes will still macerate it very well - for example if Jonas voms its only food from the last hour or so that's identifiable - and he's on a much higher dose so I'm not sure it's that?

First three hour stint at nursery - let's see how it goes. He was a bit tearful when I left him. Sad

PetiteRaleuse · 06/11/2013 10:46

Arse lost post. He will be fine yw he is just getting his head round what is going on. How is pikz nursery settling going?

Am about to eat a posh chicken sandwich. Fresh baguette, buttered, lovely chicken breast. And I'm putting crisps in it. I can't eat chicken sandwiches without either crisps or chips. French food snobs can put that in their gitanes and smoke it.

ChasingDaisy · 06/11/2013 10:53

I have kept down 3 sips of water and PR's post about food didn't make me heave so I am going to risk a solitary paracetamol to try and kill this back pain...

YellowWellies · 06/11/2013 10:55

PR my favourite sarnie as a teenager involved white Warburton's toastie bread, primula cheese and chive spread, ham and a liberal sprinkling of mini cheddars. Classy eh? God that's a lot of dairy! Hmm

PetiteRaleuse · 06/11/2013 10:56

Good chasing keep on with the water it will help the back pain too if it is dehydration related (common with stomach bugs). I'll try not to mention food again until your appetite is back.

PetiteRaleuse · 06/11/2013 10:59

yw sandwiches are meant to yum, not classy. I freaking hate when sandwiches are poshed up.

Donnadoon · 06/11/2013 11:26

Happy Birthday Kyzs E Cake
Get well soon chasing Flowers

PumpkinIsles · 06/11/2013 11:42

Happy birthday mini kyz

I totally agree that anyone who takes offence with something should personally PM the alleged offender and not publically shame them. Having been on the receiving end myself it leaves a really horrible feeling. Please don't go kyz - I used to work with SEN kids and have an autistic sister and I wasn't in the slightest offended: the context in which you used the word was perfectly okay in my book. It's all about the way in which things are said and meant and I suppose received as there is plenty said on here that could cause a lot of hurt if written or taken in a certain context. Anyway, don't go. I will miss you, Thanks

Get well soon chasing - really feel for you Thanks

No idea about undigested food vom vq but doesnt sound good.

I can't shake this shitty mood. Think it's just severe pmt combined with the sudden realisation I am going back to work in a completely new job/profession in 4 weeks. my contract finally came through, hoorah. I feel like there is a maassive cloud hanging over me - a bit like how I felt in the weeks before my dissertation deadline really - and I can't shake the stressiness. I am all baked out and the dog has totally exceeded his walk allowance, so I am reverting to my other stress-mechanism of snapping at everyone. I hate myself a bit for it but can't snap myself out of it. DP is only going to be tolerant for so long... Sad Anyway, woe is me, I am just rambling.

horseylady · 06/11/2013 11:50

Happy birthday kyz baby

In all fairness with the swearing, I'm sure much worse has been said on here. I can't stand c* and yet I know a lot here have used it. And I must say, I thought it was short for fucking bastard than retard but there we go. People manage to make something out of nothing.

I just lost it with me two dogs. The younger dog keeps licking the older dogs bum. All the time. I've just split them up and both are now sulking. No idea why the hell they're doing that.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 06/11/2013 13:11

Sigh.

pumpkin is another time of adjustment go easy on yourself. Xx

Would love a bite of your sarny pr

Disastrous photo session at toddlers as woman tried to make boys pose not chill out an be selves. Never again. Chilling out photos only I thank you.

fruitpastilles · 06/11/2013 13:17

Happy birthday to E kyz hope he has a lovely day and that you all enjoy his party.

Will catch up later, S has decided now is the time to start screaming.

PetiteRaleuse · 06/11/2013 13:22

I hate my dog's fascination with bums horsey he is particularly obsessed with one of the cats atm. He also picks up when it's my time of the month and goes a bit mental.

Passmethecrisps · 06/11/2013 13:35

It is dog bum obsession which puts me off dogs actually. I like all animals. Animals rock. However, I would rather they didn't try to sniff my vajayjay.

Passmethecrisps · 06/11/2013 13:39

I had a rabbit who used to shag the guinea pig. Guinea pig went bald and we thought he had mites. Until my 4 year old sister was heard squealing "don't do that snowy! That's naughty snowy! Leave twiglet alone!"

We had to separate them. My dad made the guinea pig a mini-hutch made out of a drawer and the rabbit an enormous run which he built around the randy rabbit. He didn't figure on getting snowy back out . . .
