Hiya

Alice - so glad you managed to come to a deal with the buyers. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly now.

LLL - hope you managed to get some much-needed sleep. How is Ben now?

NC - lol at Shannon yelling at woman. Impressed she can put her own socks and trousers on (whichever way up!). Hope she's not too ill tomorrow.

Dal - sorry it sounds like you're not pg. I think length of time is so different for everybody. Try not to stress about it though - that's almost guaranteed to not make you pg.

Inzi - so sorry you've had a bad day especially with Jane being ill. Hope the headaches etc clear up soon.

Had a very chilled out day yesterday - had a massage in the morning and parents had Anya for the day and dh was out at meetings so I had the house to myself in the afternoon and caught up with tv and snoozed on the sofa eating chocolate. Didn't last though - Anya was sick everywhere on way home (at least not in our car ) and took ages to settle last night. She's much better today though - has been chasing dogs round the park shouting 'woof' at them.

Grrrr

lol @ Anya chasing dogs

I can't read posts, i have to post first arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hope it goes normal soon.

.

Hey NC, still having to post to see posts eh? I've had a few lagers and feel a bit more optomistic now, not quite possed though!

OMG AM I IN SHOCK OR WHAT???

Do you remember Lisad123 who had Jasmine?
I have just found a message on here from her from yesterday. Her dh has been ill for a year and she made him go to the drs it turns out he has chronic myeloid leukemia and they have been told they cannot cure it but can keep it at bay. Poor Lisa, does anyone have her address or phone number still? I reckon we should send her some flowers.

Lisad123

OMG LES Thats so so sad , poor lisad123 . I agree we should do something... Can't believe they can't cure it, she must be all over the place in her head at the moment, I can't imagnine anything worse.

Just a quickie - I am coming down to London with dh and Anya the first weekend in May (bank holiday weekend) for a christening. They live in Orpington - does anybody live round that way and fancy meeting for lunch on the Saturday maybe? Also does anybody know where's a nice place to stay - we were thinking maybe B&B in Sevenoaks rather than Travelodge at motorway services - anybody know round there?

I am still looking and getting her details

The pink one is nice, how you gonna get her details?

Dal I have cat'ed her sister who is also on here. so hopefully will have the details today.

Ah I see, that's good

hi all

been busy doing assignments (no 4 of 6 so very nearly there) finished it on wed due in wed night BUT

was a week early I am a pregnant twit

still better to have done it

sorry to hear of lisa123's hubbie, her family really have had tough times over the past few years.

Inzi - what a day you had at the hospital am hoping Jane is on the mend xx

Alice - WOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOO! AM really hoping it'll all go through. I think you're right to take money off it it means you ulitmately get what you want xxxx

LLL - am hoping all is getting better with the boys xx

Dal for af arriving, I don't think there is an average to conceive. Friends have waited months years and some haven't at all.

Sorry to hear about Lisa123 - don't remember her at all though - was she on this thread before I joined?

Muppet - ha ha baby brain . At least you can relax for a week.

Took Anya to a SureStart Red Nose Fun Day (well Fun Morning really). Anya had a good time - she's so happy wandering off to stare at strange children who either shuffle off or pat her on the head . And she loved watching the bouncy castle. But am I naive to be slightly horrified that the only snacks for the kids (all pre-school age) were biscuits, cake and crisps? I did feel slightly smug that Anya wouldn't eat a biscuit even though she wandered round with one in her hand, but she did eat the banana I'd brought.

Just posting so I can find you all over the weekend where I will hopefully have time to catch up with you all.

Decided to do it before I went to bed!

Floria I am so, so sorry you have had a difficult anniversary. Anniversaries can be so difficult, I hope you are being really gentle with yourself.

Alice so pleased to hear the house is finally sorted - you must be very relieved.

NC - how's Shannon? Hope she didn't get sick.

LLL - this financial stuff is just a nightmare isn't it. I am so sorry you are under stress in that area too. Hope Ben is feeling better too.

Inzi that really does sound like the day from hell. I do wish your family were being a bit more helpful with the journeys to and from the hospital. It seems really unfair to have you do it all.

Muppet when you are done with your assignements you don't fancy doing some of mine do you? I can't even get time to get books out of the library.

WWAJC - How's Anya now? Hops she is better.

I am still very busy and stressed. Finding it harder and harder to leave Dareh. He is much more clingy than he used to be. Cries when I leave the room. And he now cries when I leave him in the morning and it is absolutly killing me. Sometimes I get angry with DH because he put pressure on me to go for this job. I understand why he did it but I don't think he understands how much it is hurting me to leave my baby every day.

Stefka - hugs to you hun. How is Dareh after you are gone? You hear of toddlers being really clingy and upset when they're left by mum but 5 minutes later are distracted by a toy and are then perfectly happy for the rest of the day - which makes it a rubbish day for mum but only a rubbish 5 minutes for the lo. I understand it's such a hard thing for you though.

Inzi - very impressed by your willpower. Hope it's having the desired effect!

Well, a bit of a weird day today - dh's mum died this afternoon. She's been in a nursing home for a few years and they rushed her into hospital this morning at 5am very ill - completely out of the blue. They called dh's youngest brother who lives nearest and he phoned us, but when he got to the hospital the doctor said that dh and his elder brother shouldn't bother making the trip as they wouldn't get there before she died - she was in a coma on a morphine pump and they said she had major organ failure. So lots of phone calls back and forth (there are 4 brothers altogether including one in France). She held on longer than expected but died after lunch. This is going to sound awful (and I hope I don't offend anybody who's going/been through a bad time) but nobody's that upset (she was a really nasty piece of work) but dh is feeling quite drained by it all.

He's fine. He does look for me during the day but mostly is fine. It's just really hard to leave your baby when they are crying and crying out mummyah and no, no, no. It's awful. I know he is well cared for during the day though and I do need to do this. The relief of knowing that we can keep the house for example is huge!

Hey Inzi, sounds like you are doing well. What happens after you stop the shakes? Do you just go back to normal food?

WW&JC - sorry to hear about DH's mum. It must be a strange time for you all. I hope your DH is ok.

WW&JC, sorry to hear that, and even sorrier to hear the lack of sadness, it was like that when my dads eldest brother died...only 7 of us at his cremation and it was over in 15 minutes!

Hope DH is ok through it all xx

I have lisas addy now if anyone wants to put in for a bouquet to send to her. her dh is very tearful today and there has been an outbreak of D&V on the ward.

A quickie;
WWAJC; I'm sorry for R on the loss of his Mother...no matter how toxic she was still his Mum... my Gran was similar but there is always at least one or two mitigating traits though it can take some time to recall them.

Stefka; I know it is hard to leave them but if it is any consolation Alex weeps and sometimes gets positively hysterical when I leave him with my Mum so I can teach...and I'm only 20 yds away at the other end of the bungalow!!!! And I only teach for half an hour at a time!!! What is more he has had this routine since he was 3 weeks old but he is considerable more clingy now than he has ever been. It breaks my heart too to hear him cry "mama, peese!" with such a heart broken voice but like you, unless we win the euro millions jackpot, needs must when the devil drives and I know he calms down very quickly when the TV is switched on or the crayons come out . Sorry the job is stressful too though... but I'm sure it will lead to better more convenient things in the long run. (((hugs))))
Got to go ...Dh is feeling neglected and as he has just taken me for a fantastic chinese meal to belatedly celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary I'd better go now...

This is what Ben was up to yesterday! the writings on the wall This was after one telling off for drawing on the playroom wall. He is lucky it was pencil not felt tip!

He was back to his old tricks this morning too, awake at 5.20am, I'm knackered again as I woke up at 2.15 and couldn't get back to sleep because of heartburn, even zantac wouldn't shift it, serves me right for eating Indian and drinking fizz I suppose

Today we are off to Ripley as they have Thomas the Tank Engine at the railway today, should be a good day for the boys

Will catch up with you all properly later as I really ought to go and get dressed
