Message from POTC:

"Joe is seeming much better today. We saw Paed consultant at 10pm who has said she will makes sure he goes on her Clinic list for follow-ups. She sent him for chest x-rays and later he'll have an MPA, which they said is something to test for Bonchitis. Scary sounding inserting tube exercise anyway. He's asleep now, but has been much more alert and even more smiley! =-) Can someone start a new thread cos the other one is too long for mobiles!"

hello all.
I am having another one of those weeks (AGAIN) I am begining to feel that it is infact not just one fo those weeks but is one of those lives

There has been this horrible sickness bug that has been running riot round this house
, started off with dd1 being sick 3 weeks ago, then me and my mum being sick last week and I wasn't sure if i could go to the mn party, but I was better so i did, but when i phone dh the next day he said that dd1 and my dad had both been sick that night, so got home and my dad was in bed and dd1 hadn't slept all night, so had to look after her with a hangover, then we got locked out of my parent house so had to go back to ours, which had no stuff in it and dd1 was sick again and I had no sodding clother for her no milk or bottle for the babies (was madness)

Anyway we managed to get back in and then the next day about 5pm I was sick and was sick until wednesday, but then woke up yesterday feeeling terrible but not sick terrible flu terrible, and bugger me dd1 was sick AGAINI phoned dh at 6.30am an told him he couldn't go into work because i needed him, but he said he had too
So I was stuck with sick kids all day while feeling like someone had stuck a spike into my head.

Things have been very stressed to put it lightly at my parents aswell, id on't know weather we should carry on staying here or move out, my poor dad is a bit of a werck and i feel so guilty about him having to put up with my kids all the time, it is very hard to know what to do for the best, I don't want to go cause I lkie having the extra help but I can see what having us here is doing to them, they of course say that they want us here, but I can't help thinking that they are only saying it because they feel they have to IYSWIM.

If only things were simple

[DippyChristmas]

Good to have you back EPB! How's the new place?? email me with your new address - you need one of our newsletters! xx

[DippyChristmas]

Hi EPB and SOL Just stuffed all our NCT newsletters into envelopes - phew - one job out of the way - Ploughing on with our christmas newsletter - don't forget to email if you would like to recieve one!!

SOL - like you said, K has had this crap cold and cough so of course is not going to put on as much weigh as she would if she were healthy and eating lots - Don't let it worry you, once the winter Blues are over, she'll be healthier and get her appetite back, I am sure. xx

[ElfPolarBear]

Have whizzed through, haven't really caught up but so sorry to hear Joe is ill Ellie, hope you are all OK very soon. You are doing a fantastic job, you need to be as kind to yourself as you are to other people

[Sexmasonlegs]

Hi all

Hope you are all ok.

Ellie, how are you and Joe today?

Eddas, glad you enjoyed Take That - what an experience.

Dippy, sorry about the job. There is one with your name on!

Had a good evening out last night - back by midnight which is late for me. Didn't drink, as was was driving but feel appaling. Really nauseous.

Took K for her 8 month check up today, and am gutted to find out that she has only put on 3 ounces in 3 weeks. She has been eating so well. I am putting it down to the fact that she has a crap cough and cold atm and has been off her food for a few days. But even still, thought she would have gained more. They want me back in on the 19th.

Sorry for lack of personals. Back later. x

[ElfPolarBear]

hi everyone
Hope all well
should have internet connection back early next week
xx

[RudolphtherEDDASnosedreindeer]

I would love to be able to be car-less but it's just impossible

Right, off to find our driving licences in my heap of a house If i'm not back today send help i'll be buried under the mounds of crap worldly goods in my house

[DippyChristmas]

Glad Take That was fab Eddas about car, hope you get some sort of transport back soon sweetie - Tis frustrating - the starter motor went on our new car three days after acquiring it!!! Fortunately, it was still under warranty so they fixed it for nothing, but the inconvience of taking our wheels away for a whole week made my blood boil - Grrrrrr! Ahem.

[RudolphtherEDDASnosedreindeer]

ellie, sorry to hear about J, hope things are going ok today and the doctors have been able to work out how to help him

CD, the old 'experiance' excuse, drives me nuts, how on earth is anyone supposed to get experiance

Need to post(as in Royal Mail) a million and one things, but have to but/wrap/find them first then get stamps. Still no f@:>ing hire car but I got all 'hormonal, crying woman' on them and they're suppling one as of 1.30 at long f?:@ing last

Rang the garage and they say they haven't assessed the car but initial thoughts are it's 50:50 if it's fixable more bloody agro

On a brighter note Take That was great didn't get home til gone 1am so am VERY tired as ds up at 5 for a feed then at 6.30 to start the day great [sarky emoticon]

[DippyChristmas]

Night (again) x

[DippyChristmas]

before I go to bed, thought I should also shared in the Thrilling Saga of April Mummies Washing Machine Nightmares ......

When we moved in last Christmas, the lovely people who we bought this house from thought it would be lovely to leave all their White Goods in the kitchen. Lovely. So I happily loaded up the washing machine with all our dirty laundry, popped in my shaky balls and .... voila ..... the bloody thing broke!!!! Friend, cunningly disguised as washing machine know-it-all came round and told us that they would have know it was on it's way out .... No wonder they left it!!!! Rah! So, we spent all our lovely Christmas poundage on a shiny new machine ..... to make the pain go away .... It is lovely; but it doth beep too much, imho!! We also bought a "hide your dead bodies" chest freezer at the same time.



Night. x
