NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 11:09

Yes I wish that too - v of your meet up but it's further than the far side of too far!

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 11:10

Errrrr - good weepy or bad weepy?

Doobydoo · 24/07/2008 11:13

Doobydoo · 24/07/2008 11:14

If you are feeling at a loose end...I am inviting you to post on the thread I started about loving David Cameron[I don't]

CaptainDippy · 24/07/2008 11:18

Good & bad weepy I think - no too sure

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 11:19

Ok - well then it's probbaly a good idea to put the polaroids away and find some chocolate!

CaptainDippy · 24/07/2008 11:26

No appetite unfortunately Even turned down tea & chocolate cake when I was at my friends last night!!

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 11:38

Ok well thats v worrying!! Seriously - be sure to mention that when you speak to the docs!

CaptainDippy · 24/07/2008 11:39

Will do - I am freeeeezing and it is so sunny outside

Doobydoo · 24/07/2008 11:40

When are you going to phone docs Dippy?

Sexonlegs · 24/07/2008 11:41

Hi NL. I have got lots of things sorted for B to do, but she seems to need me to help with the smallest of tasks. I am just not made to be a parent; I have no patience.

Doobydoo · 24/07/2008 11:44

SOL.I know what you mean.Do you have to applaud every litle thing and get lots of LOOK,LOOK,LOOK?
Ds1 used to do that.Ha salmost grown out of itI used to bellow,use your brain,imagination.WORK IT OUT etcv.helpful

Sexonlegs · 24/07/2008 11:45

Dooby, exactly it. It's all look at me mummy, except she is calling me by my name and not mummy!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 11:45

you can't possibly have less patience than me! I am a terrible mother - but I'm the only one they've got so my kids just have to make the best of it
You are obviously an excellent parent - which is why B wants you all the time - who wouldn't want their best friend there to help them all the time? She will become more independant. In the mean time - could you try saying - 'ok you do x for 10 minutes and then we'll have a little show and mummy and K will come and get a big surprise about what a good job you've done - but don't let us see it beforehand or we won't be surprised!'

Doobydoo · 24/07/2008 11:45

And sometimes it is feckin boring

CaptainDippy · 24/07/2008 11:45

Ditto You are not alone SOL. xxxx

Will call Drs at 2pm - my surgery is weird.

Doobydoo · 24/07/2008 11:48

Don't know if any consolation but ds1 was/is high maintenance and used to call us by name and talk all the time and challenge.He is a total pedant.V lovely but high maintenance.

Doobydoo · 24/07/2008 11:49

Of course it's no consolation
Good Dippy,please let us know.
I f you have the energ yplease tell the docs everything you are feeling physical and emotional.

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 11:50

that's a good point about the docs dippy - I wonder if it's an idea to write it all down?

Doobydoo · 24/07/2008 11:51

Good idea NL.I always get flustered and don't want to be a nuisance and feel silly.BUT...Dippy you aren't being and damn well need to get this sorted.

CaptainDippy · 24/07/2008 11:52

Not sure I've got the energy Right I need to galvinise myself into action as P needs lunch before she goes to nursery and I need to pop in and see my friend before snuggling under the covers for the rest of the afternoon (sure I'll po in sometime ) xx

Doobydoo · 24/07/2008 11:53

Can only assume you all want to snog David Cameron as you haven't posted on my thread
Sorry if it sounds like a lecture Dipy but you have felt ill for so long.I s your doc nice.Do they listen?

NorthernLurker · 24/07/2008 11:55

It's exactly because you haven't got the energy that you need a list!

How about if I do one?
