Get a grip!!! I'll be delighted when I get a step closer to freedom again

Not read everything but flame you are having a normal reaction don't worry

One of the mum's from school was the worse when her 4th and final baby started school

She's still your baby and the tears are prob a mix of sadness that your baby is growing and pride that she's such a big girl and you have helped her to be confident enough to cope with school.

I've always felt like an uncaring freak because I didn't cry, or even feel the slightest tinge of tearfulness when mine stated. Everyone else (except possibly mrm )reacts like you, Flame.

Beans??? Why???? Very odd.

Also no idea re rash.

I don't cry when mine start but do miss them.

Flame how's grandad doing? I get what you mean, watching someone going through an illness like that is hard wanting suffered to end is normal and understandable.

No idea re spots.

PMSL at beans

Yay for shop

Can't remember anything else but quite impressive for me I thought!

Now, see, I don't miss them

Granddad is about the same - no update really. His other eye has gone cloudy so they think he has probably had a stroke and lost the sight from that one now too. He isn't responding when my dad asks him to squeeze his hand etc so we don't know if he has lost his hearing completely now or just can't/won't squeeze.

DD came out of school very tired, the nightmares are starting to catch up on her She cried at playtime wanting me apparently - not a lot, but it really isn't like her. I think she is tired and round a virus. Slept for an hour in the car just now.

I'm exhausted - just wanna curl up and sleep. Going to finish sorting a parcel and do that I think. Forgotten everything else.

Mine would have to be away for more than a day for me to miss them

Flame...assume grandad can hear.

Oh btw Flame, I have just found a note from Royal Mail teeling me to collect a parcel - I went down today and it was from you!!! I had forgotten all about the t-shirts and can't believe I missed the note when I got back off holiday. I bet you've been thinking I'm a right ungrateful cow for not saying thankyou so.................THANKYOU

I'd forgotten I'd sent them

Slaps Flame with a wet fish, come on woman get a grip
(says the woman who will no doubt be blubbing too next year )

Chloe, go to the dr's there's some odd things about at the mo, dd1, dd2, dh and I and an assortment of our friends have had various themes on a weird virus down here, forget which one the dr said it was now, brought dd1 and a few of her mates out in odd sores around the mouth, but apparently its not foot n mouth? there's also scarlett fever going around apparently avoided that one so far, phew.
I think your dh needs reminding that he's in Yorkshire, where matriarch's come from!

CSWS, comics, games and collectables, hope you have a nice reflexology session

MRM I might have guessed.

Jas, wondering if you'll cry at boy, seeing as they often stick with their mums more?

Mad day here, changing all utilities over, getting quotes, prices etc and still managed to fit in 2.5hrs at soft play, hurrah

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/1800/392191 Flame!

I'm sure MRM and Flame at least can add to this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/1374/391184?reverse=1&rnd=1190322119025

Ah yes, comics and stuff - of course.

Empathies Chloe - do I get sympathy for the fact that my dh is like this most of the time, without having been out drinking?
I'd take ds to see doctor. Wouldn't have expected heat rash now.

at beans.

Big kick for flame .

Busy day here, but trying not to sit down to avoid dd diving on me for a feed. Toddlers this morning, then scone baking (fruit and cheese) this afternoon ready for usual Friday meet up tomorrow.

You're all taking far too much pleasure in the beating me!

CSWS - if dh was like that all the time I'd bloody divorce him!!!

I attempted to take ds to the doc after nursery but the waiting room was heaving and ds was throwing a tantrum on the floor because he couldn't pull the balloon off the counter. The receptionist told me no-one could see him and to go ask the chemist. Walked next door to the chemist with ds under one arm round his waist as he was trying his best to do a runner through screams. Couldn't be arsed to queue to speak to anyone and was sick of the funny looks so stormed out.

My SIL wonders if it could be some sort of allergy (I sent her a photo text) but obviously she is not sure without viewing it in person. I can't actually say whether he is poorly with it as he has been sooooooo stroppy for a few days but then he does seem to go through massive tantrum spells. Watch this space, if he gets worse I'll take him to the doc.

I have had the most peculiar letter through the post today. It is a handwritten envelope but the address is really messed up, like the ave is on the second line and 1/2 the street name is further down, no postcode. Anyway, I opened it up and there is a scrappy strip of papaer with a telephone number on (local number) and 10 small sheets of paper with an odd looking handwritten design on, kinda in the shape of a weird arrow and it has loads of numbers on in boxes, and it says HOVIKA in capitals at the top - any ideas????

Chloe - I googled HOVIKA and found this. It seems to be some kind of chain letter taking peoples addresses straiht out of a phone book.
Bin it.

Jas/Chloe bizzare! what a waste of stamps?!

Chloe, {{{Hugs}}} hope ds is better soon, with the mega strops you never know if they're ill or just damn stroppy eh

Not bad day here, finally got dd2 a cot duvet and pillow, she can use it on her bed when she eventually gets one I'm sure so did lunch at Ikea too not got too much shop stuff done today, as can't really do much else now till I get the logo, which should be through the post tomorrow and we go to the shopfitters hopefully monday (rain dammit!)

CSWS got any spare scones, those sound lovely

I cant do it. I'm going to have to sell ds2. ds1 was never this bad, I swear! Tried going to nursery on the push handlkle bike, seeing as he wont stay in the buggy. What a mare. So, what now? No buggy,, no bike, cant walk that far, so I end up hipseatimng him back and cant pick up any groceries enroute whatever method of transporting him I use

Oh, and I seem to be PTA rep for nursery this year

I'm feeling it too mrm. Ds was a much easier child. Ds2 won't sit in the buggy, he won't hold my hand so bolts whenever he can. I am putting him in the backpack, he seems to like that... I am soon to be banned from Waitrose, I can feel it coming. If I go in for anything one or both of my kids screams. I've become akin to smilinh and zoning out to the noise

Well, a ban from Waitrose will save you money
Hadnt thought of backpack. But then I wont be able to see him starting to escape!

true! but you'd feel him as you'd be lop sided

The boys had a screaming competition on the bus home. I was scowled at by about 20 people who all thought I was the world's worst mother.

Opininos please.... down to a choice of 2 things for ds1's birthday.....

1. Odeon kids club; film is 2.50 a child with a free adult per child. Make food boxes for the to take in. Just do cake with familt at home.£1shop toys wrapped as their take home thing rather than a party bag.

2. Another nursery Mum has kind of suggested we do a joint do as her dd is 4 days older than ds1. Church hall. Alot of nursery kids there, but then somwe on each side that we dont each know too. Usual party stuff. But at least would be half price on hall hire and entertainment. Would have to have a unisex theme though.

Jas, you might want to give some input, as he's adamant that he wants your girls to be invited

MRM I'd go for the joint do, as lots of kids at (4 is it this time?) are still rubbish at the cinema with the dark, thus will hate that option. (says she speaking from an overview of dd1's mates, all of whose parents attempted Shrek3 over the summer, with their kids and failed to get through the process sanely) Obviously if he's older than I'm thinking things should be fine

Oh the joy of the screaming eh, must have been the day for it, dd1 yelled all the way from our house, to coop and around it, then down the street to my friends house (can you belive Santa called in the midddle of the yelling and she still didn't stop she's in his Black book now, which contains naughty girls and boys...)
luckily dd2 still likes the buggy most of the time, phew

Well, I can see the advantages. But it still requires effort to organise and we dont know the other family really(the mum is really nice though). But most of ds1's friends would be ok in the pics I think, and it'd save having to invite little friends! They can just come to ds2's next do!

Fair enuff I guess which ever you find easiest eh which is why I've opted for soft play this year, only have to do the invites and buy coffee for the other adults if they stay!

I'd go for the non cinema option too, but that's because ds freaked out when he went to see Happy feet and I had to take him out. At least you don't have the trauma of a NYE birthday, I mean who wants to take their kids to a party then? arghhh

We had shouting this pm in Tesco by ds who screamed when he couldn't have a biscuit then even louder and longer when I took Lightening McQueen off him as punishment. Pretty dam stoopid thing to do really wasn't it
