Oh no Pesha, poor D. Is that just an infection.
Good luck for the interview.
SOL, good luck and happy anniversary for tomorrow as I may not be on
Just been reading the thread about the chinese babies, it's so shocking

BLOODY HELL ANGE

You know we got asked for ID when we went booze shopping? Make-up like that and you'll have people asking if you've lost your mummy

AngeG · 18/09/2008 10:04

Off to maracajacks in a few minutes for the first time.

CaptainDippy · 18/09/2008 11:19

Looking goooood Ange!!

oooggs · 18/09/2008 11:26

Ange - you look fab

sol - good night? & happy anniversary

ellie - £30 for 5 hours is great and books are a wonderful idea (love it that M is older than J so I can nick use your ideas )

Bramshott - hope the outcome is what you want

we have parents evening tonight - which is good because at school James does 'nothing' must be a new thing on the current curriculum

Leaky - well done on telling your brother - the sickness is a good sign and it eventually gets better, but not sure the tiredness does

I have the midwife this afternoon for a routine check

CaptainDippy · 18/09/2008 11:41

LOL @ "nothing" - parents evening will be interesting!

Sexonlegs · 18/09/2008 11:45

Oooggs, lol at "nothing". Whenever I ask B what she has done, she just says she can't remember! Must have been good then???

Ange, you look lovely my dear Hope you and Izzy enjoy maracajacks!

Dh gave me a card this morning with pics of me and the girls on - really lovely.

Better go as am at work. Back later. xx

CaptainDippy · 18/09/2008 12:05

CaptainDippy · 18/09/2008 14:39

Work's ok Ange - thank you for asking!

I think I might go & have a nap

geordieminx · 18/09/2008 15:21

Hey ladies,

Hope everyone is ok, havent had chance to catch up.

Horrible horrible day here, getting ready to go out this morning and C managed to get a cotton bud thing, poke it into his ear, there was the most horrible popping sound followed by lots of blood and screaming.. Poor wee soul.

Have taken him to doctors, they think he has probably damaged his ear drum but he wouldnt sit still for them to have a proper look - he cried more at the drs than when he actually did it... took 3 of us to hold him down . There isnt much they can do about it but have to go back next week. Have to say it was probably worst mummy moment - the both of us have shed far too many tears today. He seems a bit brighter just now but just keeps coming up and resting his head on my leg.

Bramshott · 18/09/2008 15:35

Oh GM - very for you. How awful - must have been very scary for both of you, but so, so easy to happen

AngeG · 18/09/2008 15:49

Oh GM. how horrible for you, it is so easy for these things to happen, don't feel bad. Hope he's back to his happy cheeky self soon.

Glad work ok Dippy.

Hello Caz and Bramshott.

CaptainDippy · 18/09/2008 16:03

Oh GM Don't feel bad, it could've been any of us. Hope little C is ok and back to his usual self soon. xx

I tried to have a nap and got woken up by someone knocking at the door .... TWICE!!

AngeG · 18/09/2008 16:11

Arse Dippy

cazboldy · 18/09/2008 18:13

Oh GM - poor little man

Eddas · 18/09/2008 19:07

oh gm how horrible for you both I hope he is better asap and hasn't done himself too much harm. Try not to blame yourself, although I know you will {{{{hugs}}}

StealthPolarBear · 18/09/2008 19:47

Oh gm you poor thing that sounds awful
Hope you're both over the shock

geordieminx · 18/09/2008 20:42

He's fast a peeps now, I also managed to jam his finger in the drawer this afternoon - nail all black now.

TBH, I dont really blame myself, it was just a one of my worst moments as a mummy having to hold him down in the doctors while he screamed - it was such a different noise to anything I have ever heard before - he was like a wild animal. Quite haunting.

Pesha - have posted shoes.

PillockOfTheCommunity · 18/09/2008 20:57

I had that noise last week when they were trying to sort out J's hernia GM, I agree, it is the most awful sound to hear coming from your baby
Unfortunately they couldn't bear it either so he's going to have to be operated on as they can't get close enough to work out if it can be sorted without the op or not.

"nothing" features strongly in M's days at school too

oooggs - there are some fab book collections in the book catalogues, the one that came home from school had the 'Mr Bun the Baker' set, 20 books for £9.99 which makes for very cheap party bag alternatives that are also not just plastic tat . Couldn't get them myself as I'm too disorganised to have thought about it more than 5 days before the party

Sexonlegs · 18/09/2008 21:20

Evening

Oh GM, what an awful shock for you both. Hope C and you are ok.

POTC, what a fab idea re the books instead of party bags. I HATE party bags with a passion - useless tat. My sil gave a book instead when it was one of my nephews birthdays. Really hope the party goes well.

SPB, how is T?

How is everyone else?

I am knackered! Busy trying to pack for us all as dh and I are off to Santander tomorrow (fingers crossed) and the girls are off to my parents. So much to remember!!

Anyway, won't be on for a few days, so have a fab weekend all and see you Sunday night.xx

oooggs · 18/09/2008 21:41

cheers for that ellie

gm - poor C hugs to the little man

sol - have a fab time

parents evening was awful I can take James anywhere, he is polite, helpful with other children and well behaved whereas at home he tests us and answers back etc...

He teacher said he was 'confident' what he meant was that is a a cocky little shite - I am so upset and gobsmacked. He hasn't been like this to his teacher, just the TA's and a supply teacher.

Some of his answers have come back as could be construde as rude and questioning 'why?' when asked to do something.

I am so embarrassed and heartbroken we don't know where to start. I have just spoken to a friend on the phone (who we see alot of) who questioned that I was talking about my son James as to an outsider (of our home) he is a model child.

Where do we start? I can do without this

Work have also rung and they are disbanding the team I have worked on for 9 years (since I started) and I am going to be doing something totally different with people I don't even know. I don't need that either.

I am off with stress and exhaustion FFS what else is going to go wrong?
