JUNE 07.........PSSSSSSSST over here :0)

[LackaDAISYcal]

came to talk and the thread was full.

Jammy, how awful for your Sis. What a tosser. Sorry to hear about DH as well, I hope he finds something good soon - and I hope you and the Jamlet enjoy having him around more in the meantime.

Natty, I hope you get some good new from the dye results.

Foxy, poor foxcub

JBM, belated happy birthday

Am afraid I've forgotten everything else, sorry .

Have had a couple of days of nausea and puking in this house - deep joy . I'd have been a bit worried but Auntie Flo (what a great expression) is currently visiting, and tbh It's pretty much have had to have been immaculate conception as well .

lol fairy...DH and I had only done the whole deed and nothing but the deed four times since DD was born........but it only takes the once I suppose

lovely peace and quiet chez daisy this morning; DS not a happy bunny about being back at school, but he looked even more grown up in his uniform this morning (wearing a tank top and shirt and tie; his choice ). He is worried about the work being really hard, but I'm sure he'll cope just fine.

Morning all

Jammy, how shit about your poor sister. Hope she gets through these next few weeks.

Is your DH taking voluntary redundancy? Sounds like he'll be ok.

FF - I'm with you on the immaculate conception likelihood!

Aaargh, DD has reached the climbing phase. She can climb on the sofa now - eek!

Natty, hope DH is ok.

Happy/nervous vibes for those with DCs back/starting school.

I'm off all this week as DH has to work. HR have scheduled a meeting to discuss his work situation, next monday, on a non-working day for him, yet another piece of evidence that they have no consideration over the fact that he has a baby to look after! I can't take yet another day off work so am going to have to find a friend to look after DD.

morning,

jammy sorry about your ds

natty sounds like good news

daisy ds back to school today? mine is

bump lol ourdd strted weeeks a ago climbing its a nightmare.

hi to every one else

Olive farming in Italy is not all it's cracked up to be, it's only lucrative if you can then write a bestseller about your experiences.

Anyway, hope your DH can find something quickly Jammy.

All the best to those off to school, my DD starts back next week (at least I think so, they never actually told us a date).

Good, sputnik, I don't think I could cope with the Italian lacksadaismerwositnes.

Hi all. Thanks for the support for my sister. Just hope her (not D)H doesn't come this way! I've heard from her children this morning and they are shocked too, of course. They may be grown up and left home but it's till hard for them.

Bumper, your DH's HR sounds really crap!

Sending good vibes to all those with LOs starting or returning to school. Peace and quiet does sound good!

Oh help, I texted my sis this morning and haven't heard from her. So I just rang and she said she'd ring me back (as she was in the bank). Now I'm probably just paranoid as being in the bank is a prefectly valid reason to call back, but she sounded so serious - almost as if she was restraining her emotion. I guess she wouldn't be sounding all chirpy in the circumstances and if she was in the middle of financial discussions she may have just been in a serious frame of mind, but I'm now paranoid that she's angry at me and trying to avoid me. I just feel so bloody helpless that I can't do anything to make it better for her. She's my big sister, but at the moment I feel that she's the one that needs looking after.

Aww Jammy, I'm sure she isn't cross with you. She's probably just trying to sort out her finances and keep her emotions under control while she's in the bank. I'm sure she knows that you'll help however you can.

jammy I'm sure she isn't angry with you and that she appreciates your support at this time. Not wanting to be pessimistic, but she may have found out something horrible about their finances that he has been hiding or something (for your sister's sake I hope not though).

Can you give your folks a quick call and find out from them how she's been?

It's horrible being away from it all and not being able to help as well; I know how frustrated I was when my sis was going through her financial troubles.

Jammy I think being mad at you is probably the last thing on her mind at the moment. This is a really big thing for her and being in the bank was probably quite depressing so I wouldn't expect her to be anything less than serious. She might just not want people fussing over her either. Could be any one of a number of reasons.

How about making her up a care package? Sounds a bit trite under the circumstances but you could put together a box of some yummy chocolates, wine, bath stuff and a book to take her mind of everything. It'll just show you are thinking of her and make you feel a bit more like you are helping.

that's a lovely idea bumper

Hello
Oh Jammy, your poor sister. I hope she gets through this ok. It must be so awful when it's just out of the blue like that .

That is a nice idea of Bumper's to do her a care basket!
Sorry about your DH's redundancy. I hope he finds something before his money stops coming through!

Bumper, HR sound like a load of w@*%£rs! Why the hell ask him to go in on a none work day?! Idiots!

Natty, that sounds like really good news about your DH! It definately doesn't sound like cancer to me as, as you said, if he had had it for about 4 years you would have known by now. The fact that they are not rushing for the results sounds good as usually if they have suspicion of cancer they really rush it through. Glad you are feeling more positive Sending lots of positive vibes your DH's way!

Trace, sorry to hear about your DS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JBM! Hope you did something special to celebrate!

Not up to much here. DP has finished work ready to set up his own business. He was off all last week and we're starting to get under each other's feet a little, lol! He's out at the minute. Ah peace

Bumper, that's a lovey idea, thanks I will sort something out for her tomorrow. Might not put wine in as quite heavy and also breakable, but I'm thinking chocolates, some magazines or a book, perhaps a DVD (any suggestions ladies?), some luxury toiletries.

had a great day with kids, thomas behaved himself, and ellen was just so cute.
how is everyone?

Hello
What did you do today Natty? Glad the children behaved!

If you put a DVD Jammy make it somthing funny, I find that really helps. I like things like Monty Python and Blackadder, but you'll know what her tastes are.

Just a brief hi and bye. Hope you are all ok.

Back as soon as I can.

definately comedy for the DVD....nothing remotely chick flick/romantic comedy like, bitter sweet or with any sort of painful reminder.

I hope you get the chance to talk to her today Jammy

Off to see the HV this morning about DD's right foot; she is still turning it in when she walks and she really splays her big toe out, but only on that one foot.

she is bringing me all the neatly folded clean laudry from the basket at the minute and looking very pleased with herself

Had a very reasonable get ready and out to school this morning; I didn't have to shout once...is this progress or a one off

back from clinic; it was bloody mayhem. No clinic for three weeks and then all the older siblings are back at school so it was packed out....had to wait for over an hour to be seen, which gave DD ample opportunity to use her new words; down...down.....down....down. If she said it once she said it about oooh, a hundred times.....aaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhh.

Anyhoo, upshot of it is, she is weighing in at 21lbs 4ozs and has dropped to the 25th centile but not concerned as HV noted "she is very active. Re her foot, we have a referral to the paediatric podiatrist as there is definately something going on with her foot, the way she splays ger big toe out. We're also back to the docs about her skin later this afternoon.....again and told to ask for a dermatological referral from the GP (how come the HV can refer us to podiatry, but not dermatology?). So, we'll probably have yet another lotion or potion to try this afternoon. Am getting soooooo fed up with it and she is clearly bothered by it as she is always scratting at herself. I'm going to take along all the things that I've used on it which haven't worked...I'll need a wheelbarrow, lol.

Hope everyone is well

It's too too quiet on here these days.

im here daisy, just gonan compose a long post to tell u bout docs... bare with me

ok, i went doctors today to confirm pregnancy, fill in paper work etc
my heart murmer has disapeared so thats good i think!
took a bit of battling but i got referred to kings college intead of mayday hospital, where they are a bit more specialist.
she didnt know about my GBS, she said i would have to speak to a midwife about it.
ive been referred for a scan in the EPU cos i had some spotting monday (which i may have forgotton to poast about) i am not worried cos i always have spotting about 6 weeks in, my body is just odd. but anyway i get to see little baby blob (or squidge as DH calls it) in a few days.
michael is of on holiday as well now, so i have my hubby home to help with the move, which should be on or around 15th. fingers crossed!

i agree with u daisy, a comedy is best but def not a rom com lol
sorry to hear about DD foot, im sure it will be fine, may just needs a bit of phsio? i dunno not experianced in these things.

i fell asleep izzy sorry, i went to surestart and then a friends house for dinner.

we have been in the park all morning after we went docs, and tell u what i am the one who is shattered now not the kids lol

Afternoon!

No DVD in the end. I couldn't think of what she'd like other than rom-coms, and as you've said that's a bit of a no-go area at the moment. I also wasn't sure what she's already got. So in the box went luxury shower gel, perfume, lip gloss, chocolate (one of those comedy (but pricey) packs that someone posted about a few weeks ago - it has a bear on the wrapper and says "chocolate makes it bearable"), a book (cute animal pics with "inspirational" captions, not my kind of thing but she'll like it), a butterfly picture from Jamlet, and some funky tissues. If you're gonna cry, do it in style I say!

good news on the scan and the referral to kings natty; fingers crossed for your scan.

I've always had a bit of spotting around six weeks as well, generally due to implantaion bleeding, which can hang around a bit before it comes away. Just take it a bit easier though; the first trimester has always been bloody knackering for me.

Kids just have endless energy don't they? DD is starting to want out of her pushchair all the time, and will happily walk for ages. It's quite handy as she walked the last few hundred yards home from school this morning, which is the sharp uphill bit so I wasn't complaining

Good news on the move. Is the new place bigger or with a garden this time? Hopefully this will be you all settled for a while.
