Hugs chasing, you know we are here
wanda to have a rock is the best thing in life! you made the right decision in my opinion.

Broken dick? How? I need details.

I didn't feel O till week 22. And it wasn't somersault or the like, just a huge kick. I miss that.

Assignment due today. Have a sitter for 3 hours. I hope it's enough..

Oh and I'm awake because my dad called me from my mum's phone. He said sorry, I was just fixing it. Thanks dad

Ugh J up and down loads til midnight and wide awake from 5.30am. Dh tried to let me stay in bed but it was never gonna happen with J crying etc so came down at 6am and dd decided to join us at 6.30am

Hi guys, have a hug everyone, sounds like many of you could do with one!

I have been reading, just so busy! House move still going but not gone. It's a complicated situation that I can explain on Facebook if you don't mind ? Not sure when I'll have time to go on laptop but still!

Am now ill, not felt so rough for a long time but I got up at 6 because I haven't slept anyway really and I wanted to get a lemsip down me before dealing with the boy. Thankfully mil is having him today. I have a lounge to paint though so no rest

Really miss you all xxx

Hey Luis! Long time no see. How's tricks?

(((Kyz))) always good to see you drop in.

I hope today is a better day chasing

Morning lovelies! Hiya Luis Hellooooooo Kyz!

We've got a play date in the sunshine to try out a pal's new playhouse, and will probably nip to the swings on the way home. Then the supermarket and a wander round the library and museum. Lunch is already cooked, and if the weather stays good I'll turf him into the garden whilst I cook tea. I love our chilled out Thursdays!

Have a good one all xxxx

J has crashed out and is asleep. On the couch. He cuddled in for ages then started snoring. I've been doing some online shopping. I need toiletries for our upcoming holiday and was going to get them in boots so that I get points. I've got a bit of an addiction just now to some ysl lipstick..... And I may have just ordered another one!

OK it lasted 20 minutes. I'm pretty sure that's not going to bode well for the rest of the day!

The night wasn't too bad in the end, kipped on her floor from 5ish and she slept til 8.15. Flouncy, would you like the last from my coffee pot? Where are you going on hols?

Hiya Kyz, hope you feel better soon, and the house becomes more like a home.

Paeds appt didn't add much. The registrar we first saw suggested skin prick tests, but I pointed out that they would be unlikely to add much given the nature of the reaction she had, which she agreed was true. I suspect trying to get useful help 18m in is met with a face. Next time, if dc2 has probs, I will be at the gp from the go demanding help instead of muddling through. The paed said "when I was training there was no such thing as cmpi" (had to bite my tongue from saying "people used to think fags were good for your health") - maybe not, but you just have to wonder what the mysterious "grannypigs illness" was which led to her missing a lot of primary school

Rant over

I guess research into intolerances is so recent that it takes a while for it to trickle down the system. Hopefully our kids will have a better time of it when they have children.

Just finished making fairy cakes with the girls. was actually quite successful all things considered. Jealous to read of sunshine, it's absolutely pissing it down here and looks set for the day. Still apart from the nursery run I don't have to go out so could be worse.

bplp sorry it didn't amount to anything. Did they offer any advice at all? All too little too late I guess.

waves at luis

kyz good luck with it all.

I suspect 4m ago when I really wanted help it would have been useful, but since then we have ditched egg and the formula and now things are 100% better. Because she has gained weight, nobody is worried, and they never have been - but she has gained weight because she has been on high dose meds for 17m! Anyway. She is happy and healthy and porky and teething without too many ishoos.

Rain here too.

We are going to ibiza for a fortnight. Although currently I may have no clothes to take. My washing machine seems to be fucked! It won't let me open the door even though the wash etc has finished. Im trying another wash in the hope that'll magically fox it!

Ooh two more teeth here. We now have 12. It's taking aaaaaages.

Pissing it down here too. And it turns out my wellies leak. We had a bad night, I didn't have to get up to him but he was shouting out for a couple of seconds every couple of hours from midnight so I'm tired and grumpy from disturbed sleep

Just waiting for hubby to come hem then I can go back. Please don't tell my boss.

flouncy have fun. I love ibiza. such a beautiful island.

Ouch! He just trapped his fingers in the hinge of the dining room door. High pitched scream until I freed him. Now he walks through doors with his hands in the air - don't think he'll do that again. He will won't he - who am I kidding?

BP the whole experience with CMPI has made me wonder which other health conditions are left to figure it out for themselves by a clueless / indifferent medical profession. If it were a condition that caused grown adults to scream in pain, cough up blood and shit foul water you know they'd not be consoled with the prospect of "growing out of it". Sod growing out of it - how about treating their pain whilst they grow out of it?

Hi luis

flouncy Ibiza sounds fab, well jel

Loved reading about all the things the babies are picking up. It's a fab time. M's favourite word at the mo is thank you, you give her something and she goes "ank you mummy"
I laid in bed listening to her chattering away this morning saying night night monkey she's a little chatterbox

She also had a fab time at the motorbikes in Monday, loved running around in the grass.

Crappy weather here so yet another day inside.
I'm not feeling too happy at the moment so I need to get off my arse and kick myself into touch and do something about it

Try putting it on a drain cycle flounce then start again. It could be that you clothes are unevenly distributed in the drum. (Hark at me I sound like a manual)

Regards

Delayed at heathrow.

Fatima feel free to vent on FB about causes of unhappiness (((hug)))

YW hopefully he has learned his lesson.

I got back to work under the radar

vq are you writing in a Scottish accent now?

Well done vq

I am now officially on my notice period. Such a shame. My mgr said he was so sorry it had come to this, I bit my tounge from saying, yes you will be because you won't find anyone with as much knowledge, foresight and sheer fantabulousdom as me to fill my role. Fucker.

Well spotted Wanda home! Not hem! It is a shame about your job, but you are doing the right thing x
