Night night pr

I thought it was good pr! the girl has no taste

Not me PR. Maybe someone else in your circle has been unlucky enough to be one of the very few people to get it this year. I'm still in the process of telling people in real life who need to know.

Thanks jims , sorry you are poorly. That sounds pants. How do you manage with the DC?

Hi pikz , kyz ((hugs))

I am just thinking, pass that P is amazing chattering, am really impressed with her speech.

Just watched Seven Pounds on Netflix. Reduced to sniffling tears. Better than I thought it would be.

Have heavy duty steroids to take for 5 days. So heavy duty both pharmacist involved raised an eyebrow. It's like my body has gone numb from my rib cage down and prickles when I walk. So I can still get around and lift the kids (the neurologist said it was fine to continue as much as normal as poss and I should recover). I'm also working at home a lot to avoid the travel but to keep busy. Hopefully, the steroids will start the reversal... dunno how long it will take.

pass I love that conversation. It's the bit I really enjoyed with DS1 - their personalities really start to come out.

wanda no worries. just don't be foxed by the container I used

I'm also here but stalking

jims am glad you are still ok with kids! but all sound pretty scary to me.

Thanks for tips wanda.

Today I was so proud of myself. Stood in the kitchen making spag Bol while H napped. Look at me a home cooked meal. Then I popped open The jar of sauce. Face palm.

Today H had bran flakes. custard for snack. Beans and a crisp bread for lunch. Yoghurt snack and cucumber and crisp bread for dinner. Wouldn't try the spag Bol or tea cake.

Oh and wanda I went and bought more nursery clothes today. So now they have enough clothes for the week each. So I don't need to worry about mid week washes.

Now I'm back at work I think I'll have a hot meal at work then just a small meal at home. So that's one less thing to worry about. When mil goes I will prob make fh a few currys at weekend for the week which she does most the time.

Hello qm. Is it wrong that I've been calling you like this in my head for ages now? Did you read my mind?

gt I cook at the weekend for the whole week. So I just take out a box in the morning and it's defrosted by evening. It's easier for me though as it is just the two of us so I don't need to do huge amount.

Hello fatima and jims.

We had my goddaughter's birthday party yesterday and my sister-in-law announced she was pregnant. Felt very very jealous . Obviously I'm happy for them but blimey I want to have another one too.

O's sleep is better, she had 12 hours last night. Night light was the solution, she couldn't find her Brunyo in the dark but now problem solved.

Oh and I just washed her autumn/winter clothes, I love that it's getting cooler now.

kyz waiting for epic post

Hmm everyone busy today?

I was drunk last night on sambuca shots

Thank god dh got up with the kids this morning, I felt rough. Still, we have been out for some fresh air, blackberry picking, and had a late lunch (roast pork) so am human once again!

We've been for a woodland lakeside walk and picnic also including blackberry picking. Lovely day here.

Went for a Lego day in the morning and fish festival in the afternoon. Busy but fun day

We had an autumn walk in the woods at Falkland then lunch out. Nom.

If anyone's in need of new autumn / winter clothes - Tesco F&F have got some good clearance items. I've got J 12 vests, 2 tops, 2 jumpers, 1 hat, 1 hoodie, 4 pairs of trousers and 5 pairs of socks for £59. Combined with 4 lush jumpers from the John Lewis sale, new boots from Next outlet - that's him done for winter. Unless its a really wintry one then he'll need a snowsuit too.

Almost wishing I knew what sex the baby was so I could kit them out too!

Lily that is very sweet

I am not very good at keeping up at the moment, sorry.

I got Fs winter coat off a fb selling site - M&S, gorgeous deep purple and super warm, gloves attached to the sleeves - for £3! Collected it this evening and she insisted on wearing it (over her shorts and vest top) wih the hood up all the way home.

Love a good bargain

Plus. When Sainsbury s have their 25% off, it usually precedes an end of season sale, where stuff is at least half price - have used this well!

Oh crumbs a lady on my October bus has just had a stillbirth at 36 weeks after baby's movements stopped on Thursday . Am really itching to evict this wee scone especially with the higher stillbirth risk from diabetes in the last few weeks. Next Saturday is 34 weeks and frankly I'd happily meet him / her anytime after that.

Oh no yw how sad :( I can't imagine it.

That is the saddest thing yw. How awful.

Do they know what was the cause YW? It's an awful thing to go through. One of the ladies on our thread had a stillbirth at 36 weeks as well, due to high blood pressure, but she quietly left the thread without saying anything.

That's awful, so sad. I was too paranoid to be on an antenatal thread (too much knowledge of the bad bits of pg/childbirth does not a relaxing pregnancy make) and something like that would have had me bawling I think the lady was v brave to post her experience, not sure I would have been nearly as courageous xx

Stunt really? Oh

It is just awful. Might pop upstairs and have a wee hand hold

On a more upbeat note we halved J's daytime omeprazole dose this weekend with a view to ending the daytime dose next weekend - and he is totally fine. We might try to totally wean him off it by his birthday. Eeeeeek.

Been up for an hour with a grumpy J. Not good. He stayed over at grans yesterday and slept from 8 til 12 then 12.30 til 6.30am so he is capable of more than a few hours at a time. My surgery is this week so I'll revert back to not being able to help at all. And my BP is up again.... Cos I'm a mess when I walk thru a hospital door!
