Verso I?m so sorry to hear how bad Tuesday night was for you. How?s it gone with the HV? I hope so much that last night was better for you and that your DH starts to understand and support you. I wish I could do more than say I?m thinking of you and hoping for the very best for you, that seems so inadequate when you need action and not words to get you through this. Hurrah for the 4 hours sleep last night ? I hope you get 4 hours and 5 minutes tonight and it just keeps on picking up.
KMP I?m pleased to read that you?ve picked up a bit, it must be extremely hard when those close to you are so far away and in a different time zone so you can?t just pick up the phone without planning when to do so. What a crazy morning you had yesterday I hope the proper coffee and cheerfulness helped you over the shock
Cat well done for seeing your GP. I hope they gave some positive advice for you and those tablets kick in soon and don?t cause too many sleep problems
LadyT our house was a big project, we had a barn with 4 walls and a falling in roof and nothing else! We lived in a caravan for 11 months whilst it got done, seriously back to basics but so exciting to step out of the van everyday and see progress on the house (I had to keep reminding myself of the benefits of living on site to stop myself thinking about how cold that caravan was, brrr). It is hassle and hard work, but you have to make yourself think of the end result and enjoy as much as you can. You sound like you already have a clear picture of what you want your house to be like, which is essential ? our visitors were divided into those with ?vision? who?s reaction was ?this is going to be so great? and those without the vision who couldn?t see beyond the caravan and the pile of bricks and said ?you?re mad?. Writing this is giving me itchy feet to do something big again, even though this one isn?t finished yet ? get a grip zoe, get a grip ? (oh, and I?m frightened of wallpaper too ? have 2 rolls in our bedroom that have been waiting to be used for 6 months now ) Kayz if you win euromillions this week you could build your own house AND buy a lovely old one Turnip that sofa cover company looks fab, sofas are next on our list to sort out, if only DD would stop sucking the bank account dry
Ros what a sweetie your DS1 is, I hope DS2 loves the book from his big brother
Turnip just before I read your post I thought to myself that nanny Anne is the guardian angel of this thread with her wise words, and there you go and say almost the same thing.
WG what a massive pain about all your online accounts and especially the latest problem with facebook. Makes me think I really should be more creative with my passwords
Daisy your poor DS, I hope he gets better very quickly. Add me to the list of those leaving DD outside to sleep ? she?s out there now and dead to the world (allowing me too much time to keep on writing this novel post)
LadyT how was the haircut? I had a much needed trim and root sort out yesterday and was just relaxing with a trashy magazine when I got a text from mum (who had DD) saying ?peed on socks, pooed on vest, only one nappy left? (a worry, considering she worked as a nanny for years and I?d taken 4 nappies with DD!) There wasn?t much I could do, unless I dashed back with a head full of foils though. And this morning I had another poo incident ? DD and I went swimming and on the way she did a huge poo that got her trousers and vest. I didn?t take a change of clothes with me, so after the swim I had to bring her home wearing only a nappy and her snowsuit ? reminds me of forgetting to take underwear to the swimming baths and having to travel home commando poor DD.
Must go and stop writing this essay hang the washing on the rack now and a million other jobs, before DD wakes up.
Oh, just noticed we've passed the 900 posts mark - any ideas for a new title?
