November 2012 - silence used to be golden. Now it is worrying

[Passmethecrisps]

Just so we all feel at home

As a paranoid medical mummy I would probably have called gp or ooh...but it does come down to how they are in themselves and really, you are the best judge of that. Also F doesn't really do temperatures so for her 40+ would be

Thanks ladies. Our experience of OOH was very poor before so wanted to avoid it. She is 100% better today it would seem though so all over.

Not having a thermometer might be a better idea pikz! The doc has commented on how good p is with gettingn her temp taken and I had to say that she was very practiced

Hello det!!

I wouldn't have taken her in unless it wouldn't go down at all, or if there were other symptoms ie rash, febrile convulsions, obvious pain etc.

It is possible she has had a touch of flu - toddlers don't seem to get as ill with proper flu as we do (unless complications)

I wouldn't have taken her in either. E had a temp last night. not sure how high as I didn't take it. I calpoled her. She was then sick in the night but only her milk. I think it was just her reflux flairing due to being ill. prob has a mild touch of the flu.

DD1 off to a party today then swimming. Was going to pop into my sisters whilst DD1 was at the party but I think I had better bring E home.

Have just cut the jungle lawn and have left dh power washing the patio. Better night from F - and a lie in! - but she's so overtired that we are now cuddled up. Lovely.

I have started a WWYD thread if anyone wants to join in commenting on my plight.

Happy mother's day quiche. Not mother's day here though.

Happy Mother's Day quiche

We have had a fab weekend. Took the Fireman Sam obsessed DC to the fire station charity car wash and as it was quiet they were allowed to see 2 engines and the 4x4. They were in heaven. Windy, wet and wild walk on the beach this morning and some family gardening this arvo. Lush. Hope everyone has had a lovely day.

Happy mothers day all xx

So I have a bit of an odd relationship with my mum. won't bore you with ins and outs but have felt very let down by her of late. But I thought sod it, i'm going to bury the hatchet so I surprised her with a visit this morning and took flowers and cake. She seemed genuinely touched so I'm glad I did it.

Think I've mentioned E has been unwell? Anyway she has. And my mum said it could be her teeth. And I felt the back of her mouth and it did feel like her back bottom teeth were coming through. Is it around this age that they do? I've forgotten!

Yeah between 2 and 3 Eliza I think is the norm.

Aargh I think this baby is trying to get out. He had been happily breech for ages but has now decided that transverse is the way to be. Ouch!

Not sure it is teeth now as she has come out in a rash on her chest and back. Dr google tells me it could be scarlet fever so off to the drs we go tomorrow. Had a lovely day planned too

stunt ouch!

Can I commend Caitlin Moran's new comedy series 'Raised by Wolves' to the Quiche. Bloody hilarious! Catch it on 4OD.

E's got tonsillitis so a quiet day for us. Currently watching finding nemo. Starting to regret putting it on though as the constant "where's nemo?" is getting a bit wearing.

Really yw? I don't normally like Caitlin Morna I sort of feel that she is trying too hard to be cool. Or maybe she is cool and I am just a bit bitter and jealous about how cool she is because I am so not cool. I don't do very well with cool people.

Do you have fb friends and all there statuses are a just cryptically cool? I just don't get them. I just don't know what they are on about.

I am just so uncool.

Great weekend, tractors out at dawn, spuds planted and all the drills done for the veg. I have just got all my seeds in. In my cool, Yep cool, 7 tray windowsill propergator thing.

DH off to Florence tomorrow till Sat so wooly pjs on And hot water botltle out.

I think you are very cool grace

Not a Caitlin Moran fan either. I like and agree with a lot of what she has to say, but don't like the way she says it. Plus she always pulls a face when being photographed- it annoys me :o

eliza tonsillitis is a bugger I remember being given loads of ice cream. Is there any kind of allergen free ice cream she can have?

You are über cool *grace

Tonsolitis is a total bitch eliza. What a winter this has been

I do have some dairy free ice cream in the freezer actually. Will crack it out tomorrow.

grace I read it that you and DH were off to Florence at first. I'd love to go to Florence. I've been to a few places in Italy but never made it there. I will though. When the kids are old enough to fend for themselves. I miss long weekends away.

We've just booked a holiday to a wee villa on an olive farm near San Gimignano in Tuscany - Florence, Sienna, Lucca and Pisa will be on our day trip list. I can't blimmin wait for June!!! First overseas holiday since our honeymoon when I was preggers with Jonas! Whoop

I went for a similar trip for my 30th, Florence was just amazing. The food, the sunshine, the mood, I can still feel it. Pisa was ok but nothing there apart from the leaning tower. Well jealous!!

You are cool Grace.

Jealous of the Florence trips. I have never been to Italy beyond landing in Turin once for a skiing hol just the other side of the French border. My DM lived in Florence for a year and I would love to go there. DH and I intended to go to Rome the year after we got mbut DD cathan expected

*the year after we got married but DD came along earlier than we expected.

Jealous of your trip YW.

S slept from 1845 - 0645 and we woke him up. This has never happened before. Hope it happens again!

I was going to gatecrash this trip and skulk around Florence while DH worked hard but it is a bit of a pain to get to from here so you would need a day either end almost for travel. So I think we will try for a trip in a couple of years when the boys are older. Either just us or the 4 of us. I think that an annual few days city break would be good for the boys as we live so rurally.

Your Italian trip sounds fab yw

Am lying down for 10 mins. My back has given up on me and I have a party starting in half an hour.

Oh no GG

Very jealous of Italy sounds ace

Yay for sleep Zamboni
