March 2007-blimey, where's the time going?

[kittywits]

ok, will thid do?

Thanks Diva, and well done Mossy!

thread about the mossy article.which i started last night and got all of 3 replies here

I have bumped the thread. Nice work mossy and diva

Was lovely to meet you diva - I'm very excited that now I've met three whole different people from our thread. And none of you are axe-murderers pretending to be new mums

Had a good time - I did make it up Scafell but we had to do a scramble to the summit and I was worried my dad might cark it as he's 75 but he did really well. I was shitting myself and wanted to cry because I was terrified but I decided it was worse for him as it was harder work. We also played a lot of scrabble in the evenings diva - how did you know?

Early night for me - for some reason Elliot woke up five times last night and then I had to drive home today so I'm absolutely shattered. Tomorrow is the first day of 'settling in' at nursery ...

Morning all,

I am back online!! [phew emoticon]

Bertie is babbling and getting a bit kerfuffly upstairs so I've not long but I thought I'd come and "check in"!

Norma & Diva thanks very much for letting people know about my fifteen mins of fame

Sazzy wow, climbing mountains, that's amazing!

Right I'm going to have to read through all the many messages I've missed now, and also to set the record straight on the facebook/people thread 'cos the people misquoted me slightly (although at least they didn't make me out to be some kind of mad scary bfer who goes around grabbing babies off ff mums and sticking my nork in their faces or something which was what I was scared of!!)

Oh FGS! Please go and have a look on the People thread and argue my case better than I have done!

I'm going off to rescue Bertie now and go to facebook forever as some people just don't get it!

Mossy I think you argued good

Hi, just touching base. In a pickle. Thinking of you all xx

kitty

Hope everyone is doing ok - where are you all hiding???

It suddenly feels like winter is coming brrrr .

well ventured onto facebook - no idea what I am doing - someone had me down as a contact and I ignored them - if it was one of you lot then I apologise - am under eidsvold sn.

Gotta scoot - take dd1 swimming.

Life is starting to settle down a bit for now.

Dh and I are off to a concert tonight sans children.

Dd3 has been very unsettled - lots of screaming and wakeful nights.

BIG NEWS: Dd1 lost her first tooth [sigh] my baby ( on profile) is all grown up. Unfortunately she swallowed it so we just did a note for the tooth fairy.

Poor dd2 wants to be grown up so she can lose a tooth and get money from the tooth fairy!!

Eidsvold lol at the 'lost' tooth. good thinking with the note to tooth fairy
I have sent you a friend request on facebook (I think)

Eids - will you try and retrieve the tooth?

I've been in tears this morning and can't stop crying - one of the Mums on my local thread - 2cute, has just lost her DH. She is only 30 and they were very close soulmates. Its just so . We are trying to think what we can do to help her, now and in the longer term

Its freezing here, I've just had to put the heating on. Am cooking some Richmond skinless sausages for Monti, as one of the school Mum's told me her baby used to love them while weaning as he could chew them.

Fox - That's so sad. How many children did they have? was it a sudden thing or was he ill?

Kitty - hope all well.

It was the big break last night. I finally put Jordi in his own room in the cot. I felt like I couldn't breathe when I went to bed but I got over it and did sleep. He did wake up once but not properly and as fine this am. Didn't wake up any l8r though. Oh well.

Had his six month corrected age hospital check yesterday. He was fine, but I felt really depressed after it. It was probably being back at hosp and being tired, just bringing it back a bit. We went to baby signing this am - moved on from massage now - and that was fun, although slightly difficult cos he can't sit on his own yet.

CAllie must be horrible having to think back on all the stressful times
pat yourself on the back on how well Jordi is doing and how far you've come!

Foxy that's so sad- so young to be widowed

Also desperately sad news here from some friends of our friends it's been all over the news I was hoping like hell we did not know them but we do.... is dreadful just dreadful.
here

I have to dash off now and pick up dd, Finn has been whingy as hell this afternoon, have just plonked him in his cot for 5 mins head space. He is up on all 4's in his cot, rocking away, practising...

Foxy I wonder did I read that thread..did he go out fishing? Did he have marfan syndrome? I suspected that when I saw the piccy because my brother in law, his sister and brother all have it, which is very rare. I couldn't think of anything helpful to post though

Callie, that sounds like a long draining day yesterday, I hope you are taking it easy today, well done with the own room milestone!

My guys are all sick with colds. Hasan had a temperature and had to be calpolled.

Jay is walloping me in scrabble but with Piffle and my sister...it's neck and neck!

i'm sorry Rosy I just got ya

x posts ~Piffle that is terrible.

x posts again...where's our game gone? did you beat me? you swine clever person! It hasn't told me yet but the game is gone! (poo)

Callie - wow Jordi has come so far hasn't he? Well done getting him into his own room

2cute has 1 son and they were trying for another

Rosy I don't think its on another thread yet (will check though) apart from the local mob - sorry to hear your Los are all ill. We all have snotty noses here but nothing else yet.

Piffle - that is horrific news about your friends - how awful, they must be so devastated. Its beyond comprehension - losing 4 children in one accident.

Rosy - the fishing one was another mumsnetter

A lot of sad news around lately

Foxy it is even worse, their 9 yr old dd is really very seriously ill as well and it's touch and go

Yeah Rosy my last letter was a Q
pipped at the post

What a day for sad news. I found out today that my friend's baby died when she was in labour. In utter shock. I can't stop crying

Why is life so grim sometimes?

Aw Sazzy your poor friend

oh bless... and lots of virtual hugs to everyone!! I don't know what else to say that doesn't sound corny - I really feel for all the familes and friends involved.

Congrats on the milestone Callie! I hope that you were able to catch up with some of the staff at the hospital who supported you and Jordi.

oh Sazzy I'm so sorry, how desperately sad.
I'm also in and out of tears, gutted at what some people have to deal with. This week it has been awful for tragic news.

Hugs and I hope your friend gets through this somehow.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I want to send her a text because I think the worst thing is to not acknowledge it (she didn't text me, she asked a close friend to text all her other friends) but I just can't find the words. I bought a card at the weekend too because I knew she was going in to be induced on Monday and now I don't know what to do with it. Seems wrong to throw it away.

So sorry piffle about your friend - that is absolutely awful. I just don't know how you go on after something like that, I really don't.

Life is fucking cruel sometimes.

xxx to all of us
