Feel a little sad about the Gransnet lady.

Am I just gratuitously emotional?

Did they find her? If they did I presume it wasn't in a good way.

I am always gratuitously emotional nowadays. I am like a leaking tap from both eyeballs.

They found her body pass . I'm sad too. It's normal to feel sad if you followed the story.

But yes I am very emotional too nowadays.

It's been whine o clock for the last 18 hours here.

O woke 45 minutes after I went to bed last night. Couldn't settle him so I put him in bed with me for the first time since 4 months old. He did settle on my chest slightly upright. I rolled him off me and tried to make it safe for him to be in bed with me but he was really restless. After some calpol I finally got him in the cot where he self settled. Not after spraying the entire bed with calpol however . He slept from 1.30-4 then was restless the rest of the night. Backwards and forwards I went, alternating having him in my bed and in his cot but he never settled long anywhere. More calpol given.

No idea what was wrong. He seems fine in himself although in the night he was doing little fake coughs. None today though.

I went back to bed at 10.15 when I put him down for his nap. He did 4 hours!! I am alive again. Thank fuck.

DP of course, is in work 8am-7pm today so he was on the sofa fastafucking sleep throughout all of last nights shennanigans.

Happy birthday MiniKyz hope you all have a lovely day after recent events. Houses are such a nightmare sometimes. :(

After events of the weekend and having 3 very bad days on the grub (!) I was expecting the worst on the scales. I have weighed myself everyday this week to try and keep myself from doing too much damage! It seems I have been lucky so far. I had an initial weight gain yesterday of 3lb, but it is off today. Please let it stay that way!! My SW group will be incredulous if I manage a loss this week. Last time when it was DP's birthday we did the same taking a day off and going nuts on the food. I lost half a lb that week. This week if all goes well I will have lost 2.5lbs. Hope it doesn't bite me in the ass now .

Happy birthday minikyz and anyone else i might have missed

Hope you feel better soon chasing

Am off back to lurking as I'm the one pissing people off I'd hoped to just quietly make a point about a word that people may not realise is so horrible but it seems that yet again i can't do that without getting jumped on

pidj I never swear apart from fuck. I can't. I think it's good you mentioned it.

Leo's relatives arrivd with insane amount of presents. Call me ungrateful and you will be right. She got a trike, a buggy, 2 talking dollies, tons of sweets and 20 lollipops. Everything pink. I would have never chosen any if those for her. Never. But they did and I will put up with them. However they got her a necklace with a locket with our pictures in and engraved her name in it. It's beautiful but I wanted to do that for her later. I feel rather sad. It's only me, I know, they didn't know I wanted to do that. I understand. But I still feel they robbed me of giving it to her. It really is pretty. Never mind. And I hated them kissing Olivia so much, does anyone else feel the same when relatives kiss their kids? Only me? Oh dear...

Tomorrow is another day. Only need to survive 2 more days.

I feel a bit delirious. Been drifting in and out of sleep all day and haven't eaten in 30 hours. Now attempting a dry bagel. Wiped out. Oscar coped with this an awful lot better than me.

Because he had his wonderful mummy looking after him chasing that's why! Who is looking after you? xxx

Is it the quiche time of the month? We is all a wee bit hormonal and handbaggy. Please lovelies let's all just let things be and no one else strop off the thread - it's getting to be a daily occurrence and we're grown wimmin not teenagers eh. I guess it's indicative that when you know someone a long time you can tell them the hard truth not just what they want to hear - so maybe after a year it's only natural that we're being more open - I'm trying to find a positive here in the sea of flounciness. And not trying to cause offence.

yw I often wonder why people leave and take time off. As you said we are grown ups.

I agree re the flouncing.

Aww thanks pumpkin, I had just friends guy round last night, my Dad popped round this morning to get Oscar dressed and fed and my Stepmum bought lucozade and Dioralyte round earlier. Am trying to keep myself quarantined now as I think it is norovirus.

Was that a hissy enough fit for ya?

chasing your appetite will come back before you know it and with it your strength. Babies and young children get so ill and then so much better so quickly.

Ooh I forgot to after hissing.

It's amazing how resilient they are isn't it? In between throwing up Oscar was crawling around as energetic as ever. I haven't made it off the sofa all day.

Hello all, I have been off investigating the meaning of that word. It has many many meanings, including a girl who will not shag until the third or fourth date.

J has brought back pretty much everything today but is fine in himself. Thank you YW for your thoughts. That makes sense. I will probably take him to the Dr tomorrow. Eliza, he vommed his meds last night so maybe that is why. I was scared to give more as I was thinking I was hurting him.

Now then, stop yer flouncing or I will start talking about Christmas

And happy birthday little E x

Arriving to do some queen style dancing in my fishnets with a Hoover.

I feel we all need some and a dance

VQ we've been advised to repeat meds if vommed within 30 mins of giving it but as J's tummy seems to be processing stuff slower I'm not sure what to suggest.

I have the hissiest grumpiest teething bear today. And I looked after my sister's 2 and 4 year olds, the puppy and her two elderly cats. Was 'fun'. Actually it really was. But I need . Nursery drop off was hilarious: 1 yr old in sling, 2 yr old in buggy, pup tied to buggy, 4 yr old holding my hand!

Would love some but am on my own this evening DH is off gallivanting with work. One bedtime down, one bedtime to go, then I will eat and go to bed early too I think.

Starts gyrating to 'like a virgin'

I am about to open a bottle of wine and have one of those baths that are so hot you need to ease yourself in, toe at a time. Today has been an absolute fucker but has finally brought with it a real eureka moment of clarity. Tomorrow there will be no wallowing, but tonight I am going to drink (alot of) wine.

I wish I could get pissed. It would not take much, but I need to be prepared for kids being sick.

of hot bath. We only have a shower and I didn't realise just how much I would miss baths.

Getting itchy feet, might have to look for a new house to rent. This one isn't right.

....as soon as M is asleep
