Happy Anniversary Caz

Was terrible weather here earlier, but has stopped raining. Looks quite winding still.

elkiedee · 31/01/2008 11:18

Sorry Runny

Congratulations Caz

D was awake for nearly 3 hours again starting at 12.20 so I'm tired. Hoping the rain eases off for my walk to baby group as it's a 15/20 minute walk and the bus routes don't run that way.

runnyhabbit · 31/01/2008 11:18

windy even

runnyhabbit · 31/01/2008 11:18

elkie - thats pants do you know whats troubling him?

mammyjo · 31/01/2008 11:21

Pouring down with rain here too. Apparently there is a weather warning here for heavy snow tomorrow. Will be surprised if it comes though, always threatened but never materialises!!

Happy Anniversay Caz!! Hope the foal is ok

Hope everyone else is ok. Off to do housework type things and feed F. See you all later xx

geordiemacminx · 31/01/2008 11:23

Hope the foal is ok Caz - and Happy anniversary! Have you got a romantic meal planned for tonight? You two could easily see your 70th (platinum) wedding anniversary! Infact if you make it to 80 years you get a card from the queen (probably be king by then like).

Snowing here too!

Really struggling with knee and feeling down at the moment.... dp said he would take some time off give me a break... funnily enough it hasnt been mentioned... infact he is off out with the lads tomorrow night so I will have C all day and all night.. happy days!

elkiedee · 31/01/2008 11:36

Teething, colds, being a baby? Who knows?

NorthernLurker · 31/01/2008 12:15

hi sorry I haven't been posting since Tuesday. Really busy day yesterday - and I had some disappointing news yesterday about my return to work. Basically - the opportunities which were outlined to me before I went on M/L no longer exist - I can go back to my old job (before going on m/l I had been doing a higher grade job on a temporary basis - the duration of which was never defined) - four days a week I guess. Or I could apply for a higher band job - but only a 1/2 time position. Now in one sense - the last option would be really good - but it's all thrown me a bit. Tbh I feel really upset about the whole thing - can't quite put my finger on why though which is v frustrating. I won't know for some time either if I will get the 1/2 time post and if there's one thing that gets me down it's uncertainty.
Right - lunch now and then B and I are having a nap! Will catch up later and see what you've all been up to. Sorry for being so crap

AngeG · 31/01/2008 12:34

Soory about your news NL. Hoping and praying that you find out sooner rather than later the score with the job, so you can become more settled. Thinking of you!

Happy anniversary Caz. Hope the foal's leg is ok.

Can't remember anything else.

Hello everyone

elkiedee · 31/01/2008 12:39

Sorry to hear your news NL. When are you due to go back? That uncertainty hanging over your head sounds awful.

Pesha · 31/01/2008 12:49

NL - about the job. Hope you canget it sorted soon.

Caz - hope the foal is ok. And congratulations on your wedding anniversary!

Hi Ange

Just been pissing it down raining very heavily here and now sun has come out again! Very strange weather we're having lately

D and I had bad night also. He was crying in pain despite calpol. Gave him long feed after got off here last night and he slept til half 2 but then seemed in pain again and was burning hot, dont know how hot but was def a temp. Gave him calpol and he stayed in bed with me from then, feeding and crying on and off all night. On the plus side he slept on way back from school till 9.40 which he never does and is asleep again now! Has also seemed quite happy today so I've been able to get on and rediscover the floor in Nathan's room ready for his beloved K who is coming to play this afternoon!! She had to go to the drs yesterday morning and apparently he was distraught when she wasnt there and then when she did turn up he ran over and wouldnt stop hugging her!! Its so cute!

Right best get on and do the hallway now, everyone else in this household seems to think the shoe cupboard is for dumping things on top of when they come in the door and kicking their shoes in front of

Pesha · 31/01/2008 12:50

Hi Elkie

AngeG · 31/01/2008 12:56

Hi Pesha

pissing down raining heavily here too!
Poor D, glad he's better today.

Lucewits · 31/01/2008 13:35

Yeah to last day Runny hope that wages/dh have been sorted out.

Caz, happy anniversary and hope that the little foal is getting better.

Sorry to hear about the stress with your return to work NL.

Its either snowing here or chucking it down with massive hailstones which look like snow anyway (but hurt more!)

S has just had his 9 month check and is weighing in at 19Lbs 3.5oz which I was quite suprised about. He is quite a big boy and I really didnt think that he would still be on the 25th centile. Still he is a happy soul so Im not complaining.

GMM, give dp a kick up the bum about some time off next week so that you can rest up. Otherwise I will send my 4 round to tickle him

CaptainDippy · 31/01/2008 13:42

Poor foal Caz Happy Wedding Anniversary!!!

CaptainDippy · 31/01/2008 13:45

NL about work situation - hope they let you know one way or the other soon sweetie. xx

Going to eat lunch with DH - Weather here is foul!!

mammyjo · 31/01/2008 14:23

Such a shame about work NL Really hope you get things sorted. Maternity leave is fab, but it does seem to have caused a few problems for several people on their return to work doesn't it. So annoying when you had already discussed your options pre leave too.
Hope you are ok, thinking of you xxx

mammyjo · 31/01/2008 14:24

Hi CD How is dh today?

oooggs · 31/01/2008 14:26

I need to contact work to check on all my return stuff but keep putting it off, I'll put it on my to do list

mammyjo · 31/01/2008 14:28

My to do list is as long as my arm and I really dont think I will ever reach the end
