Hmm...I think if money is tight then Jamie shouldn't be teaching them fish recipes and meat. Meat is hideously expensive.

LackaDAISYcal · 30/09/2008 22:00

I'm off too......hot toddy and bed; see if I can't shake this bloody cold.

Night all, I need a peanut butter muffin!

Peace out x

bugger it, I catch up and you've all gone. DH failed his cookery o-level, I told DS1 tonight that I wanted him to learn how to sew on buttons and he said "what do I need to be able to do that for"

what benefits were these people on? Takeaway 4 times a week? My idea of heaven

Glad for your DP holly, have been wondering but didn't like to ask in case it was going badly.

Trace, really good luck for Chloe. x

justRia · 30/09/2008 22:17

daisy, your homework battle sounds oh so familiar, and I'm sorry I have no advice.

justRia · 30/09/2008 22:18

DS2 loves it, he did his homework on the end of the bed by my feet by hinself while I was still asleep at the weekend

Morning all
Jamlet having her I've-been-up-for-two-hours nap. I'm chore-dodging But will get to it in a moment, I promise! But wanted to see what happened after I turned in last night and if anyone was about this morning first.

justRia · 01/10/2008 10:03

Hi jammy, like your halloween name. how's the hectic day going? I'm chore dodging too DH taken baggins for his nap.

I'm off to change my name...

NattyThomasAndEllen · 01/10/2008 10:54

hi guys
been lurking a bit, not feeling able to post anything, not wanting to bring everyone down.
ive spent two days in tears and numbness, i honestly dont know how to move on from this.
making things harder is the fact ive been in full blown labour for the last 6 hours, and its so much harder knowing there is no baby at the end. ive been bleeding heavily too, im hoping that i wont have to have the d&c. i am terrfied i will wake up from it and be told they had to remove everything or something. irrational i know, but for some reason its much scarier to wake up not knowing whats happend, then to be awake during it. apparently there is a tablet i can take that will do the same thing, and i am puzzled as to why i wasnt offered that choice.

the kids have been good through this, tho tom keeps asking why im crying and i feel bad for him, but i cant help it. all my friends have gone on holiday this week, and so its just me and my kids alone in the house as i cant face the outside world for fear of running into a newborn.

atm im not sure if we will be trying again, i want to but im worried it will go wrong over xmas this time, and ruin xmas for my kids.
anyone know how soon you can start trying again, and the recommended break?

RiallyEeRiaee · 01/10/2008 11:03

hi natty. I'm here to listen if you need to post again but I can't offer any advice as I haven't been through it and can only imagine how awful it is for you. Don't feel you can't post, we're all here for you. x

RiallyEeRiaee · 01/10/2008 11:11

natty, I found this link on a MC thread, it may be no help to you, but there seems to be loads of info and support out there, on MN and the web, for when you're ready to think about your next step. Won't your hospital give you any support with what you're going through now?

NattyTombstoneAndEyeballs · 01/10/2008 11:17

sorry was changing my name to cheermyself up.. what u think

pain is slowing down now, less frequent, maybe ive passed it all now.
hospital might help if i call them, but ive got no one to take my kids, so i couldnt go in anyway.
im gonna go friday to the drop in center and get them to scan and see if anything is left in there.

RiallyEeRiaee · 01/10/2008 11:22

your name is suitably gory for the time of year I feel (roll on christmas names)

I hope the worst has passed for you. even worse for you to have to go through it alone with your DCs, but T sounds like a proper star.

RiallyEeRiaee · 01/10/2008 11:23

How is your DH now natty? (sorry if insensititve, I have missed so muchgoing awol)

NattyTombstoneAndEyeballs · 01/10/2008 11:27

thank you ria that was helpful, at least i know i dont have to wait till janurary if we dont want to. its also because i have 2 friends due same week as both of my babies were due, and its going to be hard when they are born. i think if i have another baby (past 12 weeks) to focus on it will be easier perhaps?

NattyTombstoneAndEyeballs · 01/10/2008 11:31

still waiting on the results from the last scan, 17th we got to go in.
fingers crossed its just something simple, and i think they would have called us in earlier if there was something seriously wrong

RiallyEeRiaee · 01/10/2008 11:34

bloody hell, I didn't realise you still didn't know anything. sorry. you would assume they would hurry it up if it was serious. it all comes at once doesn't it.

RiallyEeRiaee · 01/10/2008 11:38

natty, I'm sorry to leave you but I'm going to have to sign off now. (just til I've tidied the kitchen at least)

Take care x

NattyTombstoneAndEyeballs · 01/10/2008 11:48

ok ria speak to you later xx

LackaDAISYcal · 01/10/2008 11:56

morning. Feeling marginally more person like this morning and at least the sneezing has stopped. I have just swept the kithen floor and got two dustpans full of rubbish off it

natty, it sounds like everyhting is coming away naturally which is better for you in the long run I think. I know I didn't want any sort of medical/surgical intervention. It is horrible lovely, but it will pass. There isn't any reason why you can't ttc straight away, as soon as you feel up to it, but the medical profession recommend leaving it ine cycle just so they have a base for working out EDD etc. Good on you for thinking about it already; I know I wasn't up to it physically or emotionally for a good few months. The MC avengers in conception are a great bunch if you haven't said hello to them already.

DD being a right grump this morning and hamoering me getting on with the housework; even in my half crippled, achy and sore state I feel the need to get his place into some semblance of order...DD is in a "mummy cuddles.......noooooo, get down" frame of mind so nothing I can do is right. I have tried to put her down for a nap and she has screamed the place down. Have drugged her dosed her up on calpol now so fingers crossed she will settle. I have a mountain of chores to do.

she is being a doodlebug at the minute (love that analogy bumper ) so I better go and rescue whatever mess she is creating. She has left parallel snail trails all over the sofa from her constantly snotty nose as well
