Dh has got 3 gp still alive, all lovely, although 1 is a bit batty

I have got 3 still on the go, but 1 is an alcoholic, and did not go to her own daughters wedding (my aunty, J was pageboy) cos she was busy looking after her ill boyfriend. FFS. And as for the other 2....can't be bothered wasting my time talking about them

I wish there was money to be made in finding stuff for people on the internet - I would make a fortune!!!!

C hasnt been very well the last couple of days - got 2 teeth coming through on the top which are upsetting him. He's wising up to me giving him medicine.... has made himself sick twice through retching

Sorry tohere about dh's nan oooggs.

Runny - I think everyone is worn out at the moment, its getting to that time of year, and of course the whole organisation of xmas seems to be left to us women... Hopefully you will get a break over the festive season!!

gmm - have you tried giving it to him with a syringe? I usually point it straight to the back of his throat, and gently hold his mouth closed til he's swallowed it

runnyhabbit · 19/12/2007 20:23

geordiemacminxpie · 19/12/2007 20:24

3 grandparents here too

Oooggs - I lurve Whitby - many a holiday spent there as a cild. Cant wait til C is a bit bigger so we can take him ,show him the whale bone, walk up the 99 steps and have FISH AND CHIPS!!!!!

runnyhabbit · 19/12/2007 20:24

sorry miss, won't happen again miss

Maveta · 19/12/2007 20:25

IMBM - your reward is basking in the glory of my company lucky you

i´ve not been lucky with grandparents. Both granddads died before I knew them, my dad´s mum died a few years ago but lived in the States so I didn´t really know her either and my mum´s mum is going strong at 79 but not really very grandmother-y in a nice cuddly way. More victorian looking disapprovingly over her glasses at us kind of way

Good, lovely grandparents aren´t as easy to come by as you´d think, thinking of your dh oooggs x

you really need to get emailing quicker Maveta, I'm getting bored here

geordiemacminxpie · 19/12/2007 20:27

Runny - yep use a syringe but he wriggles about that much its abattle to even get that into his mouth, half is spat out and the other half he wretches back up. usually bringing his dinner up in the process... still he's really not well so I cant be too hard on him. To be honest its the first time he has been poorly - its breaking my heart.... cant imagine what I would be like if he had something seriously wrong

runnyhabbit · 19/12/2007 20:27

eyedrops - well W needed these when he was few weeks old, so trying to remember what we did. Think I just dropped double the dosage, then that way I knew, some would get in his eye. And come to think of it, I held his eye closed, and he kind of blinked them in, iyswim

RudolphtherEDDASnosedreindeer · 19/12/2007 20:27

TOO MUCH TALKING PEOPLE, oops didn't mean to shout

Sorry to hear about dh's nan oooggs

FWIW I only have a nan, BUT i do have a great nan too she's the nan that's still here's mum

runnyhabbit · 19/12/2007 20:28

gmm - does he have a drink or ff at all? Stick it in that?

geordiemacminxpie · 19/12/2007 20:33

Like you I double the dosage in the hope that some goes in!!

DippyChristmas · 19/12/2007 20:39

Do any of you ever feel like your life is never going to be more than the endless round of drudgery that it currently is - or is that just me!!!? psad]
