CD, I am really sorry to hear you are feeling awful. What a disappointment. I hate it when you look forward to something for so long and it goes norks up.

Hope you feel better soon. xx

Am so utterly stressed. Dh is working from home but is so frantic that he hasn't had a shower yet, no lunch and we need to leave in 45 mins to get to the party. I have been running around like a loon trying to at least gather stuff for the holiday in one room so it can be packed.

Katy44 · 24/08/2007 12:31

oh SOL, hope you manage to get everything done
Feeling any better cd?

Eddas · 24/08/2007 12:40

grrrrr

teething + toddler = shit day

back on when the monsters SHUT UP

normabutty · 24/08/2007 12:41

Oh no, CD . Hope you soon feel better and you deserved to post a self-absorbed post!!!

I think I've got everything.

Dummies, dummies...i wish...she won't have one!!! A workmate of dh said his dc has to have some surgery type dental work cos he started sucking his thumb and has damaged something...cos they refused to give him a dummy . Erin's just not interested.

normabutty · 24/08/2007 12:42

Eddas I've emailed you!!!

CaptainDippy · 24/08/2007 12:42

SOL ..... Sloooooooow down sweetie ..... Take one thing at a time ..... Concentrate on getting out to the party now and ignore DH if you possibly can .... Breathe ...

LOL @ "Norks Up" ......

Feeling a tiny bit better, but I just know if I get showered and up and dressed and try and get on with the day, I'll end up making myself iller, does that make sense!!? I'm still running to the loo every 5 secs and i'm scared to eat something in case I feel sick and throw up again. Have had a tiny bit of Apple Juice.

normabutty · 24/08/2007 12:42

Oh and could someone with my number (maybe Ellie???) text me why the woman had on orgasm in sainsbury's???? I saw the thread last night and it's doing my head in...

CaptainDippy · 24/08/2007 12:44

It'll be good in the long run, NB ... Trying to wean my older 2 off of them is proving .... erm .... difficult ...........

lulumama · 24/08/2007 12:47

normabutty · 24/08/2007 13:11

Katy44 · 24/08/2007 13:51

glad you're feeling more positive cd
Just taken T's ladybird baby gym outside and given it a beating to try and get the dust and grime out
T looked at me oddly - "What did the ladybird do to deserve that?"

geordiemacminx · 24/08/2007 13:55

Hey ladies.

Sorry you are feeling icky CD - apparently flat coke is the best thing for upset tummies as it replaces some of the sugars and stuff that you have lost.

Hey Katy.

Just trying to get ready to head down to mums... as per usual the packing has been left to me - not easy trying to pack and entertain whingy baby... honestly I am sure I have taken less on a 3 week holiday than we seem to have for a 2 day trip to the north east...

Bad mummy monet - was feeding C and he dug his nails into my boob - it hurt so much I shouted in pain, and made him cry - felt soooo guilty!!!

Katy44 · 24/08/2007 14:38

Pesha, your thread was hijacked, there's another one here

lulumama · 24/08/2007 14:40
weeonion · 24/08/2007 14:55

pesha - read yr other thread. do you want to lend a front carrier of me? i have one to spare?

geordiemacminx · 24/08/2007 15:12

i am coming to you live from sainsburys car park. Baby asleep me taking a well deserved break with a burger king. Happy days. Wo the hair colouring was a disaster i look like cruella frikin de vil

Katy44 · 24/08/2007 15:25

what colour did you dye it?
(can't really picture cdv apart from the coat!)

WaspElly · 24/08/2007 15:55

Hope you feel better CD

I'm making the most of the unprecendented occurrence of both being asleep at once moment to catch up opn vital things, er like MN?!

At last I have uploaded pictures of the family onto my profile (I hope!)

SOL enjoy hols - hope you manage to de-stress once you arrive!

leakyR · 24/08/2007 17:37

Afternoon ladies

that Octo has gone. Understand her reasons why (esp with 3 dcs).

Oh Dippy hope you managed to salvage something from the afternoon and that you're feeling better. Happy Anniversary!

Ellie - how soon can we expect a detailed description of your date? Hope it goes well.That first date excitement is fab!

Everyone off on hols or for weekends away have a fab time!

George is an utter whingepot again today. Poor little thing his teeth are really giving him gip. Went to baby massage this pm and sat in the park for an hour on the way back (outdoor crying doesn't stress me so much). Now we're home he's asleep but won't let me put him down. Feel like my shoulders are up round my ears!

Sexonlegs · 24/08/2007 18:07

Hi all.

CD, glad you are feeling a bit better pet.

Well, the party was good - Becky wasn't. She just didn't want to join in and was a bloody pain.

Still not packed much, and Leaky, ikwym re shoulders up by ears!! I should be in some freak show with the bearded lady....

CaptainDippy · 24/08/2007 19:58

LOL @ "bearded lady" commment ...

Hope everyone has peaceful evenings!

I am feeling a bit better but totally washed out and completely whacked .... early one for me tonight ...... Hoping this passes quickly, sooooo hard feeling like this with the DD's ..... Speaking of the DD's they are being a total PITA - shrieking and carrying on and refusing to sleep!

Hi WaspElly - Your profile ain't there, hon .... would love to see your pics though.

WaspElly · 24/08/2007 20:43

aha - found the make public button.

Also to say I'll miss octo too - similar reasons to my recent silence...
