Hi everyone, so sorry it's taken me a while to get on here and post. About meeting up - after much dithering about and changing my mind I've decided not to go. Been dithering mainly because of ds2. He goes to pre-school on a tuesday so I'll be cutting it a bit fine to get there for 10, plus I'd have to leave at 11 to collect him, and hope there's no problem with traffic. I was wondering about asking if I could bring him along instead, but as I barely know you guys I didn't think it fair to inflict him on you just yet . Joking aside, ds1 has been showing signs of a uti so he might be off school as well (he was better last night so he'll prob be ok). And that really would be a bit ott if we all turned up! It wouldn't be so bad if dh was around, but he's b*ggered of to america for the week. BUT next time, count me in, for definate. (My credit card is breathing a sigh of relief I've finally made up my mind not to go to bluewater). Have a nice time and I really am sorry for the dithering.
Pinkranger/shrinking - I'm not far from hermitage lane too (the duke end). Many years ago I used to live in the flats behind the nurses home. I know it's a long road but we can't be far apart. I've wasted too much of my life in bloody traffic queues on hermitage lane, mind you tis better since they installed traffic lights outside the hospital (I work in the hospital). (Wasted too much of my life in there too.)
Helibee, I had a scan for gallstones last week. The pain you get is horrible isn't it? Turns out I don't have gallstones (she thought I might have a teeny incy one but then couldn't find it again). So my pain and jaundice (only had it twice) is probably caused by a reaction to one of the drugs I take. I'm being weaned off them now so hopefully it won't happen again. But I feel for you as I know it's not nice at all. Hope they can do something for you.
So who wants to come and clean my house then? I am totally demotivated. And I've got a million people coming round on sunday (ds2's birthday). Last time we had a party (last october) I was in hospital very poorly with pneumonia up until a few days before. Dh arranged for some cleaners to come in just before the party as I was still flat out (and he never quite got round to it while I was in hospital). I'm very tempted to do the same this week. But I have no excuse why I need them this time and no money to pay them. But I'd LOVE not to have to do it. Wouldn't we all.
You're all so good with up to date photos and videos. The last (and only) photo of ds3 I've got on my profile is when he was a couple of weeks old. And I'm supposed to be a photographer . Must pull my finger out and do some more.
Right better go, need to see if ds1 is going to school or if he's going to be under my feet all day. Have fun at the meet up girls, and I'll see you next time. Everyone else, have a good day too.
