Evenhope - much sympathy. I'm getting it too. Jordi got another cold last week and has coughed so much he's been sick about four times after eating, and is also having trouble eating, choking lots, because we think he's got a sore throat.... oh and did I mention the conjunctivitis last post??? Aargghh!!!! DP has to pin him down while I force his eyelids open and put drops in twice a day. It's horrible. I'm dreading taking him to nursery tomorrow in case they send him straight home again.
On that note, DP had Jordi for the first time all day on saturday as I had to work. It went ok, but then he (DS) did sleep for two hours in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, so not too taxing!
Polar bear, that's bad news about your DH's eyes. His work do have a legal duty to protect his health, and they should be sorting him out asap - if they're not, are there any union reps in his place of work who can lean on management?
I had some sad news last night. A schoolfriend, who's also the daughter of a friend of my mum's, died last week of breast cancer. She was only 37/8. I worked for her mum one summer when I was home from university, and did a sandwich round delivering to workplaces, so we used to be loading up our vans together every morning. We weren't really close friends or anything - I don't think I've seen her for about 15 years - but I've known her family most of my life, and indeed went out with her elder brother for a short period in school. It really upset me, I think probably more now because of having Jordi and knowing she has two young kids. It seems so unfair. Life is so randomly cruel sometimes.
Rosy, I had a dream last night that I went to this house somewhere and a woman was giving birth. At first, the woman looked like an actress I recognise from telly but then it turned into you, even though it didn't look anything much like the pictures I've seen of you. I just knew it was somehow. You'd better hope I haven't suddenly turned into a prophetic dreamer (or maybe you should?!).
