April 2007 - A new year and new experiences, with the support of old friends

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

felt like it was time for a mushy one

ooh get you WO

he's happy to eat porridge, prefers it to weetabix, just that it doesn't seem to work

so, when are you having a scottish meet-up that I am invited to?

Yep tuesday grand.

Let me know so I can sort out.

I sent her some house info for my patch... she's gonna be ione of my lanarkshire be-atches

have looked it up - it's four grains and the plain stuff is all millet and quinoa but the stuff with fruit in (yum) is mostly oats - just thought I'd pass that on in case you were all breathlessly waiting......(NL walks away from the pc thinking she should have something better to do on a Saturday night than look up porridge ingredients - where's dh )

A mid - week meet up is going to take some organising POTC, but I am onto it - there are 2 in Glasgow and 2 in Edinburgh so midweek is a bit tricky, but we will get something sorted.

I can wait
might even manage a weekend one, I could have my birthday holiday with you lot

NL

some of us don't have the 'entertainment' on tap you know

what, what - just going to do the washing up together - honest

yeah right

now where was that list Octo started..................

When is your birthday???

Noooooooooooooooooo!

(NL locks dh in understairs cupboard and looks for remnants of chocolate santa instead)

now that would be telling

I went away with Stephen last year

Cath wants me to go out in town with her, but I would rather do something if that makes sense. It's the only real block of 'me' time I get

much better plan NL

Well you are going to have to tell us if you aregoing to come up - ya div

oh yeah

I am shocked that you don't remember

feb 21st

how about Friday 15th Feb????

Looks like everyone who was around has gone to bed again!

MJ, sorry to hear you're feeling so bad, hope things start to pick up for you.

KHIN, what a scary thing during a rare night out for you, I also think you should get a further opinion.

caz, I don't think I would have had any idea what to say either, but I really enjoyed reading about your supermarket outing. Don't know how you stand going there with 5 kids though, I hated it before having any - we started using Sainsburys Online a long time ago though we top up between shops. How do you get there and back? Do the older ones help at all with carrying?

i'm here

(i'm always here, I have no life)

wow it was quiet on here last night. Dh and I slunk off to bed at 10.30pm rockers that we are and noah slept 8pm-3am and then til 7.45am so still on the right track.

POTC - I guess it´s not an option to delay his bedtime a little bit so he´s eating the porridge top up later on? Noah used to be out for the count by 6.50pm but now I try to get him to have a little 20min nap about 5pm ish so he lasts til 8pm and that gives me time to give his tea at 4pm, milk at 5.30pm and cereal at 7.30pm so the meals are a bit more spaced out and he actually eats well at each meal.

got to run dh has just had a jug explode in his hand and there´s glass everywhere (he´s fine)

psychic (ish) babies Maveta, T slept from 9.30 to 7.50!
Afraid my early night was just because I was tired Dippy but feel loads better now

Hi all. Liath, I dont know whether a light box would make any difference to me. Am really hoping that this has been triggered by the medication I was on, and now that it has been stopped things will right themselves Have to go back to the gp in a fortnight either way, so will just have to ride it out til then.

Ange, hope you have got the chav idea out of your head now. Your spelling of Isobelle is really pretty

SOL, how was your evening

Oooggs, hope you had a nice meal and night out

Maveta, glad your dh is ok. Bit scary with glass shattering everywhere.
You made me smile with thinking that it was me that had fallen off the bed. I am of the larger persuasion, so would probably have gone through the bloody ceiling! I dont bounce like a baby does

F seems absolutely fine this morning. Ds was really upset when she fell, and it turns out he had pulled her down towards the edge of the bed by her feet I did wonder how her feet were red but couldnt work it out. He had been tickling her, pulled her down and then she rolled off the bed. Wont be leaving her on the bed again.

Am trying to be calm with the dc's this morning. I just feel like my head is black (sounds odd I know), when I close my eyes the only image I see is blackness. Even when I smile and laugh with ds, I am still miserable behind the smile. Doesnt make much sense really does it?

Have a good day all xxxx

Mammyjo, I'm so sorry you're feeling like this - I remember the black feeling from when I had PND, like I was wearing a happy mask rather than ever feeling happy. Horrible. How much company will you have in the next week or two to stop you being stuck on your own too much? Thinking of you xx.

Morning all. !

Had a lovely evening thank you. And a lie in!! Have just surfaced from bed. Dh has fed and watered the dd's and the cats, and the kitchen is looking pretty tidy too!!

Oooggs, hope you enjoyed your meal out and that you are feeling ok today. xx

MJ, I sm so sorry you are feeling down. I wish I could come and give you a huge hug.

Maveta, sounds like you had a great night of sleep. Long may it last!

SPB, glad you are feelng rested today.

How is everyone else? What are you all up to? We are going to lose the xmas tree and then meet some friends for a pub lunch and a walk.

See you later lovely ladies. xx

{{{{{{MJ}}}}}} Thinking of you and praying for you sweetie. xx

gotta jump in the shower because we are off to see friends we haven't seen in aaaaaaages today - They've got a 2.9 yr old DS who we have seen since he was about 7 months!! - and a 5 month old DS who we have never met!! Looking forward to it!

What are everyone elses plan atm?

Feeling weird atm, just thinking about "how life used to be", a bit whistful, kwim!!? Sigh ....

Thanks liath. I remember this feeling from having pnd after ds too and it is so horrible isnt it. I am really lucky that dh is being brilliant and really supportive. Ds is back to school tomorrow too which will take the pressure off a bit. I also have some very good friends that I can lean on if I need to, and I have here too!!
Totally agree about the happy mask. Smiling on the outside, crying on the inside
At least I have seen the gp, and admitted how I am feeling, which I didnt do for too long last time. I didnt actually use anti depressants last time (due to my own resistance), but if I still feel this way in a fortnight, then I think I may take anything I can get! Very difficult to cope with this and two children at the same time!
