APRIL 2008 - The One Where They Can Eat Food & Shoes & Toys ........

[FrankenSoph73]

Thought as the messages were coming in thick & fast I´d start new thread. Don´t know if it´ll work though. Fingers crossed.

VS - that's good news. Is "sensory issues" the same as having a hearing test? I´m afraid we're still not very "P.C." over here so I don't mean to be blunt, and I'm sure it's more than just testing her hearing. It just seems like everything these days (in England) has to have a politically correct name!

Scorpio - just had these strange mental images of one side of you getting bigger & bigger. Obviously need to go home and open the wine

No, it means either over sensitive or under sensitive senses basically, so touch, hearing, oral, smell etc.
She does things like put her hand over her ears to loud noises and is very oral with touching things, it all goes to her mouth, which she should have grown out of a good few years ago in line with 'normal' developmental stages.
They explained why she yells out (Almost tourette-like) and stuff which got me a bit Apparently if we think about a day when we wake up and everything is ok, then we go to leave for work and rip our trousers, that would be stage 1 of stress, on the way to work someone bumps your car, stage 2 of stress, then you get to work and someone is really arsey with you and you blow up at them, well DD wakes up on stage 1, going to school is stage 2, so if anything in the slightest bothers her it goes straight to stage 3 and the noises and jumping around is like us blowing up.

Yippeee Mcflippy denny I am so friggin excited!!!!!!!!

Luckymummy XXX

Ah ds1 is like tjhat; ds3 is the opposite- they let off a full klaxon next to him and he didnt even react!

DS2 is being referred now for assessment on snap with regards to seeing if he has dyspraxia or dyslexia- it'd be mild dyspraxia but I think more likely severe dyslexia iykwim. bit that something else has come and bitten us in the arse though - tbh it has hit me big time and I haven't been exactly a cheerful bunny since we were told last week.

Never mind.

having lots of good moments with Bas at,m though, he's so cute and nosey crawling everywhere and trying to see everything going on.

Morning.
VS - I see, poor little thing. It's amazing though how many things they pick up on with children nowadays (blimey, I sound like me nan!)
Peachy - sorry to hear you've another thing to contend with but pleased that Bas is having such fun

Quiet round here today, anyone would think Sal and Ladybee are on their hols

I have been washing and getting house ready for going away this weekend, without the children DH and his mum have them for 3 days whilst I go off with Luckymummy and 4 other friends to a 4 star spa hotel. We arnt excited at all.

it is quiet....

Peachy, keep strong lady, you are often a tower of strength to me, you can do it

Mimi had a bottle y'day Very pleased because she starts settling in to nursery on thursday; her first visit is for an hour, and i will remain on site in the staff room.

DH's work situation is perking up

Still waiting for that footmuff from ebay; i paid on 31st Oct

Denny - very nice and here's me worrying about leaving mimi for an hour, lol

Lots of scammers on ebay atm due to the feedback changes; I sold a fab dress, sent it off, buyer returned covered in grease which she said was there to start with so dress unanted- bloody obvious she wore it out for one night and is playing me but I had to refund or Paypal would have done anyway, so I lost the dress value (£40!)

grrrrr

DH ahs increasing amounts of problems now and you cant tell who to trust as there's no neg for buyers.

Bastards! Well this seller only lives in Helston; not far from me at all....said she posted last Thursday was £48.

And it's pink

I paid for it instantly; she has over 100% pos feedback, over 100 score too...

although it would appear she has sent other buyers stuff and not mine since

if it was recorded then she should check the tracking number; if nt ask her what she plans to do f it ahsb't arrived by (whatever date you think)- its her responsibility then as seller, she can claim for herself if she has proof of postage but she needs tor efund you (if she paid by paypal youre safe as long as she has funds)

if no reply to emails raise a dispute obv

its not recorded delivery, no (just says standard first class)

Just reading on ebay you can start a dispute thingy for not receiving paid for item....i have emailed seller twice; Sun & Today; no answer. thought i would give till friday and then open dispute

FFS!

DH is making me a cheese and ham toastie (we are doing ok actually)

no email? open dispute asap so aypal can get funds before any transfer period expires if she is plling a fast one

glad you and dh doing well

not leaving the postnatal group but being v v v wary on mn atm an minimising interaction elsewhere as there are a few untouchables making me feel really bad about myself and dh is getting worried about me being so low

OK Peachy, i understand, well you can always FB message me or email or something Pick your chin up

Oh I will, I wont posyt here any less but limit elsewhere iykwim? just fed up really, and ds1 being too much but I cant bring ,yself to type what he did Saturday

you don't have to share....but sorry you are feleing sad, you cope so well with all your things Peachy, i can;t really manage Reilly very well alot of the time, i don't know how you do it. I hope you feel better about what happened soon - and i bet a million dollars it wasn't your fault

I wasnt even there so no, but I could have easily lost ds2 as a result and am now realising that at some point ds1 might need more care than I can give if the others are to have much of a future , but the attitude to aspergers on sn is very much noting-at-all-wrong or even 'gifted' there's no recognition of kids like ds1, does that make sense? there are a few who will come in and post at least your child can do x and y- well yes and thank God, but that doesnt make what he does do ok.

Anyhow have to break those thoughts! Got to cheer up!

good things- well bas is eating again (see name change for evidence of lately constant latching on LOL), and we got him a lovely activity frame from boots for Christmas- and he's sitting (a very tiny bit but yay). Looking forward to Christmas- d seems so much more well atm so may just be a good one coming up.

Makes perfect sense to me

Glad you are looing forward to Xmas - we are too, think i might get Mimi a toy i saw on the tv earlier - little fishers price go roundy animal singing thing

Mimi sits a little too but not alone al lthe time yet. No teeth either!! She is loving her food though....

ah bas is aiting for 3rd and 4th teeth- almost there! he has this habit of storing foo in the roof of his mouth ow then cant latch s bites instead. Little git! (good job he's so wonderful)

junior school has offered me the chance to go in and help a bit one afternoon a week, pleased about that. need to get out a bit I think.

lol @ hamster cheeks Bas

Poor ds2 has got tonsilitis

oh and i put in a claim thing with paypal over that footmuff

Ggod on you Scorpio

Poor bas scared ife out of me this mornig- propelled himself from highchair (no shoulders on those harnesses) onto floor [shiock], bruised but otherwise OK.

But a very shocked Mummy.
