evening all and happy bank holiday. now i am back to work - the weekends with C are even more precious!

pisha - fab photos! your brood and yourself are lovely and look so --- healthy!

gmm & C's birthday was fab. the 3 of them (her dp included!) all looked tanned and happy. gmm - you are looking great! loads of buzz around and her mum was a star! i was v v v impressed at the mountain of food and made a headway through it. there was brownies to die for. a fab birthday cake and i got 2 pieces to bring home. sampled one before dp came back and then lied that there was only 1 piece so i could get half of it. greedy pig but it was yum!
great to see lucewheel and her clan. what sweet kids you have! also meant to say how great you are looking too - the scottish air must be agreeing with you!
ellesbelles and her lovely dp and lovely dd were there too. as nice as always to see them too!
and of course vio. well - what can i say. it is so nice to see her and dh so happy. it is really great news and made all the nicer for actually seeing them!

sorry i havent done personals for more of you. finding it hard to post and not just lurk!

CaptainDippy · 04/05/2008 23:17

Right. Off to bed. Night ladies. xx

In response to your Q Ange - sort of! xx

Pisha · 04/05/2008 23:24

N just been sick again he reaslly doesn't like being sick (think this is only his 3rd or 4th time ever) so every time I ask him if he gonna be sick he says no cos he didn't want to be! Also - and SOL may not want to read this! - he tries to swallow it back down again if he can

And now J saying he feels sick and looking quite pale Looks like our bank holiday is going to be FAB

Ange - lol at your comment on Ellie's pics - do you think she'll mind???

StealthPolarBear · 05/05/2008 07:41

Morning everyone
Well I'd have hung around if I'd known someone was going to be on 30 seconds later!
Pisha, how are the vomitey ones?
SOL, PMSL at your amputation technique!
Ange, good to see you. I don't think it's worth talking to nursery, whenever I have attempted to raise anything they are vague and gushing. We're definitely looking into moving him.
Well, we've had a dreadful night. Nappy changing at 12.30, 4 and 6.30. PLus he seems to be getting hot again, infection coming back.

StealthPolarBear · 05/05/2008 07:43

plus he's got a cough and hoarse voice so maybe infection is on his chest? hmmmmmmmmm
Another one for the doctor to dismiss.

Sexonlegs · 05/05/2008 08:30

Morning all.

Pisha, love the name change!! Hope your night wasn't too vomit-filled!!

WO good to see you. Sounds like you are running around like a headless chicken. Really hope you can sort something re work.

SPB, what a nightmare for you. Does the cough sound like a dog barking or is it more chesty sounding?

All ok here. Dh having a lie in this morning - only fair.

My Mum and dad are coming over for lunch today

MJ, did your dh return from his fishing trip ! Wasn't eaten by a shark??? x

StealthPolarBear · 05/05/2008 08:55

chesty, definitely. muyst be his 40- a day habit.
he is now having diarrhoea every 2 hours

elkiedee · 05/05/2008 09:14

SPB, sounds like a good idea to move T out of his current nursery. Sorry you had such a bad night.

StealthPolarBear · 05/05/2008 09:16

how are you getting on elkie? glad yesterday was better than you thought

StealthPolarBear · 05/05/2008 09:17

in case heidle is lurking

Happy Birthday Harriet!

CaptainDippy · 05/05/2008 10:02

Happy Birthday Harriet!!

How was your night Pisha?? Hope everyone is not too bad today xx

Poor T SPB xx

Going out with older 2 while P has nap soon and then off to the beach for the PM I think - loooovely blue skies here

geordieminx · 05/05/2008 10:03

hey ladies, sounds like there is definately a bug going round. So many poorly people. After posting last night, i went to bed, didnt get very far, spent 12 hours back and forwards to the bathroom with d+v. Hopefully i'm over it, havent been since 7 but i am utterly and totally exhausted. Couldnt even keep water down. Although a have managed to loose 4lb... So thats me past 2 stone since jan!

NorthernLurker · 05/05/2008 10:33

Hi all

sorry I haven't been here over the last few days and I haven't got time now to catch up properly - moving house is a bit scary!
It's all going really well though and we went to look at our new house yesterday. We all loved it even more this time and I can't wait till Wednesday (apart from the packing ) Anyway I think my internet will be disappearing on Tuesday and who knows when I'll get it back.....I'll text Dippy with an update if that's ok?

From my quick scan of the thread - many to the sick, many bouqets of congrats to the partying mums and to Dippy's dh - don't listen to the ants!

liath · 05/05/2008 10:51

Morning all.

. Am a bit stiff and sore. It absolutely p*ssed it down yesterday so got very wet up my mountain but it was good to get out without the kids!!

Good to hear C's party went so well, GM.

SPB, has your GP thought of referring T to check for stuff like coeliac disease? It's all been going on so long that maybe seeing a paediatrician wouldn't be a bad idea.

IKWYM about nurseries, have had several run ins with ours doing bloody stupid things like feeding whole grapes to toddlers etc.

CD, glad you had a decent break.

Pesha, hope your friend's head is better - LOL at random men!!

Sexonlegs · 05/05/2008 11:30

Morning GM, Liath and NL.

Was wondering where you were NL. Glad things seem to be going to plan, and see you when you are re-connected!

Liath, sorry the walk was a tad damp. Glad you enjoyed the dc free time

Oh no GM! Hope you are feeling better soon. I guess that was what C had then on Saturday.

Cooking lunch atm and have sent dh out with the girls - so space at last!

AngeG · 05/05/2008 11:34

Morning

Happy Birthday Harriet.

Sorry you've been ill GMM. Hope you're over the worst of it now. at the weight loss!

Pesha - How are you all this morning?

Liath - Glad you had a good time yesterday. Was it you asking about bf? I'm still bf Izzy mostly just morning and night now, although she does ask during the day sometimes. I thought I'd wait til she self weans, but am beginning to wonder whether she will!

NL - Good to see you. Glad move is progressing well. How is work?

CD - Have been thinking of you. xx

WO - Good to see you.

Izzy has been off colour for a few days, nothing specific, just not sleeping well, very whingy and unhappy, so not like her. She woke about 11pm last night and I was soon made aware of the reason why. She has another ear infection and perforated ear drum

Back later no doubt. Hope everyone has good days xx

AngeG · 05/05/2008 11:36

Hi SOL of your dc free time. Izzy still unhappy and clingy today bless her...no chance of child free time here!

Sexonlegs · 05/05/2008 12:05

Poor Izzy You taking her to the GP's today?

CaptainDippy · 05/05/2008 12:15

Poor Izzy Ange {{{huggles}}} from P. xx

Soooooo excited fory ou NL - defintiely text me with updates!! Yey!! Praying for a smooth move for you guys

AngeG · 05/05/2008 12:31

I think I'll wait until tomorrow so we can see our GP rather than locum at walk in clinic or wherever!

StealthPolarBear · 05/05/2008 14:24

good luck with move NL
Ange, sorry to hear I has another perforated ear drum

runnyhabbit · 05/05/2008 14:42

Only a quicky as dh thinks I'm packing

ange - Big hug for Izzy x

nl - Hope everything goes well for you

re nurseries - Have to say, the one the boys is fab. Nothing is ever too much trouble. there are one or two staff I'm not too fussed on, but think its more of a personality thing. And the boys love them

Big hugs and kisses to you all
xx

cazboldy · 05/05/2008 15:31

Hello all
Happy birthday Harriet

well Done on the weight loss GM - that is a real acheievment. Very easy to say, but not so easy to do iykwim

Molly v. unhappy today and all of last night. i am tired, and got a lot to do, as dc are back to school tomorrow, the little ones are off to my parents all day, and we have James's appeal. All of you think of me at 12.30 tomorrow I don't hold out much hope, but we will give it our best shot! Not looking forward to it though.

My house is a mess, as M won't let me put her down, and i have got a lot to do and I know I am being grumpy, but I can't help it! Plus it's that time of the month again it is a nasty shock after having no periods since March 2005, to suddenly be regular as clockwork!

bet you really wanted to know that!

Glad all the parties went well yestaerday!
