I wouldn't say he was clever, he was more interested in watching the tv while mummy wasn't there to stop him, Skott even had to shout through the letterbox and was told that he'd be there in a minute cos he was busy watching tele!

(Pillock is now thinking that not letting them watch tv very much has its repurcussions....)

Oh POTC, sounds awful. There seem to be a lot of viral things going around atm.

Really hope you feel better soon and that J is better soon too.x

Oooggs, hope ds1 goes to sleep soon and you can have some quiet time. x

What time does he go to bed?

Feel a bit rough myself - just feel utterly worn out and a but queasy - and no, I am not pregnant It has been so humid today and we sat out for an hour at B's school having an all-school picnic. V enjoyable, but too hot.

Dooby, have you posted a thread about your SPD to see if anyone has any advice?

AnotherBear · 23/07/2008 22:05

Oh no Pillock That sounds awful. Hope you are both better soon and M doesn't catch it.
DH being an arse.

AnotherBear · 23/07/2008 22:05

going to have to name change back, getting confused again!!

StealthPolarBear · 23/07/2008 22:07

Anyone miss me?

Eddas · 23/07/2008 22:22

spb you make me laugh

thanks for all the sympathy, it was very much needed. I went to the docs and I have viral tonsilitis which they can do nothing for, obviously. so I have soluable paracetamol > vile stuff, but quite affective

My day has got a little better. I went to the cinema with eandh to see Mama Mia. Naturally that was fully booked so we watched Hancock, so I received a much needed dose of Will Smith mmmmmmmmmmm

Potc, sounds like a nightmare, hope you are both better soon

StealthPolarBear · 23/07/2008 22:23

urgh, hope it gets better soon

StealthPolarBear · 23/07/2008 22:29

DH has huffed off to bed I think
Might huff to bed myself in a minute
as you can tell we argue maturely since becoming parents

Just wanted to wish Elkie all the best for tomorrow - will be thinking of you all and praying for good news!

elkiedee · 23/07/2008 23:31

Hope everyone feeling ill feels a bit better soon.

CaptainDippy · 24/07/2008 10:13

Morning!

Gosh, so many of us are feeling rough

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 10:15

Hi Dippy

I am getting really worried about you - this isn't right to feel so rubbish! Have you been back to the docs and have they done any sort of blood tests etc?

CaptainDippy · 24/07/2008 10:40

Went back to Drs week before last I think and they said it was probably viral and there wasn't anything they could do. Am taking anti-b's. Bleurgh!

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 10:42

Well viruses don't usually hang around this long - and it could be the anti b's that are making you feel sick. The stuff that dh had a couple of months ago nearly wiped him out tummy wise! What did they give you?

CaptainDippy · 24/07/2008 10:49

Amoxicillin (or however it is spelt) Anti-b's usually do make me feel sick. I hate being ill

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 10:51

Hmm - how many more days of it do you have?

Doobydoo · 24/07/2008 10:52

Not sure why they giving antib's for a virus????Could well be making you feel sick

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 10:57

I've just registered on the BNF specially for you Dippy and indeed nausae and vomiting are recognised side effects of amoxythingummybob! Like Dooby I can't see what they hope to achieve with it if it is indeed a virus. Maybe ring and ask your GP to call you to discuss the situation?

Sexonlegs · 24/07/2008 10:59

I think you should see about blood tests; as Dooby says, if it is a virus, ab's are a waste of time.

Elkie, good luck today, will be thinking of you. xx

How is everyone else?

I am fine now, just tired. K awake again in the night for a bit - with teeth I expect.

Day one of the school hols and B is driving me mad already. I know this is awful to say, but I find her so boring sometimes - just goes on and on and on. She is so demanding as well.

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 11:05

SOL - B is not always going to be this hard. Older girls are lovely In the mean time - maybe you need to keep her focused on task not hassling you - so does she have a den? Could you giver her some stuff to build one with - couple of chairs, bed spread, chocolate spread sandwich to eat in it when it's done? Or what about gardening - give her a corner and tell her to dig, dig, dig. Let her get muddy and hot then go chuck her in the car and go buy a plant for the recently cultivated soil!

CaptainDippy · 24/07/2008 11:05

Thanks guys Think I will call Drs and try to reassess the situation. Feel like someone has punched me in the ribs You are all so kind Wish people in RL could be so concerned and lovely. xx

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 11:06

Dippy - we are real! Well I am anyway -not sure about the rest of you

CaptainDippy · 24/07/2008 11:06

....and remember you've got a whole afternoon with the Mad Dippies to look forward to on Sat SOL
