WL i am so sorry i hope its treatable. How is your mum about the diagnosis? I also hope you managed to get some sleep last night. I am thinking of you if i can do anything to help please let me know.

WL I'm so sorry to hear that. sending your mum and family all our best wishes!

Oh wl that's awful news. Did you get any more information about what next? Will be thinking of you all. If you need just to talk, we're all here for you.

Hugs WL

So sorry WL

So sorry to hear this wlmum. So Hard when these things happen over Xmas. Hope she's being looked after well in there. Do they know what the primary is?

Oh WL, I'm so sorry. Life is utterly shit at times. Xxx

fandango how are you and j settling into the new house? Hope it's starting to feel like home now.

So sorry WL. Thinking of you all

It's lovely thank you DDAS. Really quiet, beautifully decorated (by me) and loads of cupboards so i can shove the clutter AWAY!

Sounds perfect fandango.

So DD, having had tonsillitis for the whole of the week before last, is now ill again. She's had a cold and temperature all day and then was sick when she went to bed. A seems to be getting better but hates the new medicine at least as much as the old one.

Ds is under the weather again too. Cough, streaming nose and fever. Was sick from coughing earlier.

willyou I hope you're both setting in to your new home. I hope you DS and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!

DS and DD seem to have fairly constant colds here to. FX they are ok enough to enjoy Christmas DS and a tree in the house is going to be interesting I think...

Willyou I also hope you have a lovely 1st christmas in your new home.

We've been lucky this year and have so far managed to avoid illness, however everyone around us seems to have a cold/chest infection at the moment. I am praying we do not get them for Christmas day.

WL how are you? How is your mum today?

All Christmas shopping is done Just have to pick up the turkey on Christmas eve morning. The only presents i have to wrap are those that need making on christmas eve once H is in bed.

I got shouted at today for looking at someone's unruly dc the wrong way. The best I could manage back was to tell her to shut up she didn't appreciate that I wasn't even looking at him funny that's just my normal face

Anyway we went and saw FC at chessington garden centre. Ds wouldn't talk or sit with him but did wave goodbye. No photos as I didn't want to drive him, dd would only stand in front of him but her friend jumped right onto his lap!

I think DD being sick was just her cold. She was ever so good this morning, and wore pyjamas and her big pink fluffy coat to do the Waitrose shop at 7 am. A was up early anyway.

But now DH has the hideous cold (verging on flu). We're at his work party tonight, but he left work early and checked into the hotel at about 2 and went to bed! He's determined to make it though.

I'd better not get whatever it is....

r's coughing and snuffling a bit but is fine in himself

Haha at your resting bitchface Spotty

tip of the day: don't back carry on the bus. especially not if you then go on to reach too far to get a toy from the back seat of the car in the 12 second stop at traffic lights

Ouch pidj you both ok and unscathed? I have a tendency to bump DD into things in the wrap

He's fine, was pulling faces at a couple of fascinated preteens! My back, however, might be needing ibuprofen for breakfast Was definitely worth it though, he not only got to see his big cousins for the afternoon but he also got to go on a bus and was completely awestruck

If I'd had any sense I'd have popped him on my front. Then I could have actually worn my coat instead of getting hot and sweaty carrying the damn thing

How do you convince him to back carry pidj. I ended up walking into town today with both dc's. took connecta with me but dd just wanted to 'walk walk walk' so ended up taking forever to get there and back and then felt permently stressed in town keeping my eye on both of them with so many people around. But she just would not be carried! Ds on the other hand wanted to be but it's the baby connecta so he's too big for it plus I really struggle with his weight even in the bigger ergo. Still not quite sure how dd managed to walk for so long with no signs of being tired. She better sleep tonight! I feel tired from the stress- can you tell I'm not a fan of big crowds ;)

erm i kinda just swaddle him in fabric and throw him over my shoulder (i particularly enjoy doing it in front of new first time mums ) he doesn't get much choice in the matter! he loves it up there, and i usually let him walk till he's tired before offering cuddles. but mostly the he likes it plus i make him thing

Dd is sadly stronger than me . Throws a right hissy fit when she wants to walk not be carried and flings herself everywhere making it unsafe!. Maybe she'll grow up to be a marathon runner, a very short one lol.

As in size wise. Always think of marathon runners as talk and gangly whilst dd def on the short and stocky side :)
