April 2007 - antenatal advice needed as well as postnatal now!!!!!!!!!

[oooggs]

crap I know but couldn't think of anything witty

I feel a bit better this evening but SO tired! Just had my second driving lesson - went up to 5th gear! And back down some gears and did over 30 miles an hour - in the appropriate zone of course! It's a bit scary but not nearly as scary as I thought would be iyswim.

Hope you are all ok - back tommorrow

Lol

I am pissed off now

I can't go to Gran's funeral now...... It has been arranged for next Thurs. tbh I don't even know how dh is going to manage to go without some kind of superhuman effort, as his boss will be away all week at the Norfolk show, and he will be all on his own at work. We are taking one of our own cows to the show, and James (ds1) is leading one of my brother's on the thursday, plus I will have no childcare, even if I can escape from the show......don't know what the hell to do.........

Why is life always so complicated???????

Well done with the driving NL

SOL - it is very sweet

I have got to sort out Molly's MMR when I get a spare minute

NL - glad you are feeling better

Nice to "see" you pisha, and I too would be annoyed about the sports thing

Sorry to hear that caz - it is, isn't it?

hiya,

sorry to hear you may miss the funeral caz life is very complicated and i only have 2 dc, neither of which is at school yet!

brain mush as usual i even typed brain about 5 times then as it kept saying brian which isn't quite the same

Right brain mush,on way to bed.Caz..I don't know what to say.Maybe you could have your own way of all remembering her when you are together?I t may sound crap but to be honest i think that would be a lovely way of remembering her.
Thanks for all your well wishes re roger.He is subdued but i think he will be fine tomorrow.
M hasn't had the mmr and is still a whinge butt...must be in the air!
sO PLEASED YOU HAVE FOUND OUT CAUSE OF EXCEMA.
Will try to catch up tomorrow...eek.
Goodnight all.xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry to hear about the funeral Caz - hope you find some solution.

LOL at Eddas - I do that the other way round all the time, that is type "Brain" instead of my boss's name. Although it always seems like a very apt typo (I've seen several people address emails to him as "Brain" too) because he's a very knowledgeable man.

Hi all
All good here, actually managed to get a hoover round the living room and clear a walkway through the hall tonight
M's dad called in after work so M could wish him Happy Birthday and do cake and candles with him. He asked me how old daddy was now, 29 I said. Is that really old mummy? Too right it is sweetheart, now make sure you tell daddy that

Dooby - am really peed off. I still haven't found my passport I was really hoping it would turn up in time for me to apply for Joe's and get it through in time to fly over to you, but now I don't think there's any chance . Am really annoyed as I know it's in the house somewhere but have searched and searched to no avail
Hopefully you'll have us another time when I do have passports?????
You could always bring your boys back to Suffolk and stay with me that week instead???? You'd be most welcome and I have the week off anyway!

Work is going really well, been bringing odd bits and pieces home with me so that I can skive leave off early occasionally although I broke my pc earlier so had to swap desks, was lost without my 'space'

CAZ - I'm here if you want childcare. I'm more than happy to take the day off, I'm owed hours, I like your kids, and would be happy to help out. I could even go to the show with you and be 'you' while you slip off to the funeral if you wanted me to? Let me know, but I'm quite serious, I'm here if you need me

POTC, glad work's going well for you. Grr at the missing passport. I once lost my passport, I think I found it years and years later (of course it had been cancelled by then as I had to get a new one.

Caz, looks like where there's a mumsnetter there's a way? Hope you're able to take up this kind offer from POTC.

Goodnight all. Or good morning to the early morning shift.

Morning all

POTC - what a sweet offer! Re your passport - you'll have put it in a 'safe' place so have you tried looking at your house and thinking 'right I need to keep this really safe so I will put it in x' Then go and look at x. Sometimes works for me.

Caz - sorry about the funeral arrangements - life is never simple is it? Hope you can work something out you are happy with.

I have to say I'm of another view from most of you re funerals. I have taken the girls to both their great grandfathers funerals - they were 5 and 8. I felt it was ok for them to come, they are very used to church services and though we were all very sad these were funerals of old people come to a natural end of long and fulfilled lives. I think that makes a difference - I don't think I would take them to a funeral of a younger person as yet - although I would ask them and take them if they strongly wanted to. I also didn't take them to the graveside and still wouldn't unless they had strong feelings on the subject. I simply wouldn't take B under any circs - funerals are no place for fidgety babies!

Elkie - hope D is on better form today. I like the sound of your escape plan - you'd come back North wouldn't you?

Pesha - good news about the ezcema.

'See' you all later!

Better go get on.

morning - Managed to stay up til 9.30pm but was up at 11pm very poorly sick - I know they won't give me anything I just need to survive

Mum & Dad came back last night which may help

so dcs at nursery and the house is a tip and tesco is coming between 10-12

if/when anyone is down this way Devon/Cornwall - I would love to try and see them

Oh oooggs - how rotten for you! Can you keep fluids down ok? It's always worse when you are tired so you must rest as much as possible. Stuff the house - go back to bed and stay there till tesco time!

yes caz - hope you find a soloution. We took dcs to dh's nans wake in December (at her house family & close friends only) and they lightened the mood, but wouldn't have taken them to the Church

Because it was away I missed it, such a juggle isn't it?

yes managing with water and just had some rice krispies, with dts tended to feel sick all day, but eat fine then throw up in the evening

you all ok today?

I'm fine now - much better night and feel like I've got some energy - was just wiped out yesterday and work was very hard. Lots of tedious politics and structures and stress! At work today but it's my short day

I like short days

Yes so do I

Right must go get dressed or my day will be even shorter!

Me too

Oh, POTC that such a lovely offer to Caz - think you should definitely take her up on it sweetie

Morning all!

NL, yes, plan definitely to move back up north, probably Leeds or somewhere quite close, maybe Bradford at a push. My mum's in Ilkley and brother and dp live in Harehills. I was brought up in an area very near the university and we can't afford what we need for our money there and I'm not sure we want to. So I'm probably going to look at west Leeds, further out to Guiseley (1st stop on Leeds/Ilkley train line) and perhaps Harehills/Chapeltown - they have a bit of a reputation but if it meant being near family and having a bit of space, and it's quite similar to both where I was brought up then, and where I live now in some ways. I'd feel strange in a very English white middle class area despite being those things myself. And there are apparently lots of services for families with young kids there.

Hi everyone. Having a child free day today as F is in nursery and E is in school. I would normally be in work on a Thursday, but I am not this week.

Dooby, hope Roger is back to himself today!

NL, good on you with the driving lessons. Glad you are enjoying it

CD, lol at your revolution!!

Caz, I really hope you can sort something out so that you can go to your Gran's funeral xxx

Pisha, good to hear that D's skin is improving. It is awful when you feel that there is nothing you can do to help isn't it.

That's it, no more memory. See you all later xxx

POTC - That is an unbelievable offer. You really are very kind

As it happens,I might not need to take you up on it. FIL should be talking to his sister today so fingers crossed he sorts something out

Molly was eighed this morning, and she is now 22lbs and 3 oz

weighed

Luce - tell me about it! it's manic!

oooggs I really feel for you xxx had dreadful sickness with both of my girls. I was even sick about an hour before Molly was born!
