Yey new thread!

Fragolina - sorry to hear you're having a bad time. Work sounds crazy, can you speak to HR?

Up far too early again. boring now.
think they were both coughing from 5.15.

etc.etc.etc.

Hello new thread

Fragolina, poor you that sounds horrible , glad you are posting though. Do come on Saturday if you have the energy.

JKS aaaaah with you. Nathan is coughing as well in the early morning then complains about it to himself (babadadad aaaaah) then goes back to sleep. Remind yourself it will pass.

Just getting on new thread...

Frag - sorry you feel so pants

LaTrucha · 25/02/2009 10:42

COld cough splutter wriggle.

That about sums it up!

Just getting on the new thread. Wish me luck for my exam in a couple of hours. Someone really should have told Sabela I had one.

JustKeepSwimming · 25/02/2009 10:43

Oh good luck LaT!

Am sitting here feeling v sad about the Cameron's son.

madmouse · 25/02/2009 10:58

Oh JKS just seeing it now

That is so horrible

And too close to home. It could have been us

simpson · 25/02/2009 10:58

LaT - good luck!!

JKS - only just found out as I have banned TV being on the the mornings down side means I can't watch the news either...

Feel v sad for the whole family

madmouse · 25/02/2009 10:59

Sorry LaT go for it girl. Take some paracetamols before you go.

JustKeepSwimming · 25/02/2009 11:14

and rescue remedy LaT

Confess i did think of you Mm - as you are the only person i 'know' with a DC with CP.

MrsMc - not sure if you're about was thinking of you earlier and wondering if your friend ever got you some 4head from the UK?
hope it works for you.

madmouse · 25/02/2009 11:23

JKS when I say it could have been us I mean Nathan could have been like that. Their son had a rare form of epilepsy called Otahara syndrom plus much more severe cp. He needed constant supervision. Nathan as we have him is a totally different sproglet

JustKeepSwimming · 25/02/2009 11:27

Oh i realise that, thank goodness for Nathan.

That otohara syndrome sounds terrible.

I also wonder how Samantha is coping with all of this, i mean the talk is all about him. but she must have gone through so many emotions at the time of his birth/diagnosis and now, well obviously devastated.

simpson · 25/02/2009 11:33

It's very sad and I agree, not much has been mentioned about Samantha all about David.

Would they have known that time was limited with Ivan?

Not that it makes it any easier to deal with

madmouse · 25/02/2009 11:35

Hey and JKS, just noticed you put ' ' round the word know.

Just a few more days and you won't have to
and you will know two beautiful boys with cp, both so gorgeous that you will want to snare one for any future dds you may have

madmouse · 25/02/2009 11:37

simpson they would have known that there was a risk of him not making adulthood , but they would not have been told a time. It is things like very severe epileptic fits (grand mal or status epilepticus) or things like chest infections if the cp is really bad that do it, so it is always unexpected

Not sure what is worse

JustKeepSwimming · 25/02/2009 11:37

Hey i'm going to eye up the girls for future partnerships!
Actually know lots of little girls, wish there were more boys around here as my lots always end up outnumbered!

Simps - i think they would have know from what they are saying on the news, but i never realised.
I guess if you know, you make the most of the time you have. (Shouldn't we all?!)

simpson · 25/02/2009 11:40

Makes me want to go and give my Dcs an extra long hug...

Gingeme · 25/02/2009 12:52

Wish I had that problem jks

LuckySalem · 25/02/2009 14:15

Just quick to say hi!! NEW THREAD yey!!

Can't wait till Sat - we're staying over at my friends house that night too - Dp is having a day & night all to himself. He's really excited at the prospect of online poker and whisky all day lol.

I'm sorry to say that I did read but I can't remember so I'm sorry that they're not technically "personals" but

I'm so sorry for those who have lost anyone in their lives. I must say my parents (esp my mum) are my rocks and I really don't know what I'd do in your situations.

MM - Sorry to hear you were feeling low and that incident at Church is horrible - I do hope that she and her DC's are ok now.

Well we've been SUPER busy.

We've been to feed ducks (gonna put piccies on later if i've got time) Playground, coast. Alsorts been lovely!!

Hope your all ok and if I dont get back online before SEE YOU ALL ON SATURDAY

simpson · 25/02/2009 14:33

Ok Guys

Have done something really silly...

Have booked my tickets for Sat on my switch card and was going to pick them up from Euston/coventry with the card in automated machine thingie and a ref no.

Well, I still have the ref nos but my new card came through post today, so cut up old one and new one has a totally different number on.

What do I do??

Can't find a way of contacting train company

LuckySalem · 25/02/2009 14:36

I think if you have the ref no you should be able to get them from the terminal?

simpson · 25/02/2009 14:43

Managed to get a phone no and spoke to someone and have now arranged to pick them up from station booking office.

Just have to take passport.

Was on way back from tescos and just had total panic when I realised what I had done
