Charley, i totally feel for you on the sick front. I will pop in the post my preggie pop sweeties and a special roller ball pen that has some sort of aromatherapy oil in that seemed to take the edge off the sickness.

AbbyLou · 16/04/2009 13:34

Charley sorry to hear you're feeling so rough. I remember it well and it's horrible.
Jam, A will be fine. I agree it's definitely harder the older they get. Both my two were left full time at 5 months and I've never had any bother but a lot of friends who've left older children for the first time have had similar problems. He will get used to it and before you know he'll love it. We have a similar thing at school sometimes, especially when a child hasn't been to our Nursery. The mums ring up and the children are always fine. It's just horrible when it's your lo though so I do sympathise.
TMAM glad you enjoyed the safari.

JamInMyWellies · 16/04/2009 13:40

TMAM he has this weird circulation thing. I know at night babies extremities are cold but when he wakes in the morning one of his arms is purple much more than a motled corned beef purple. It then can take up to 45 mins to pink up and when it does there are hot patches of bright pink. I am sure the GP will send me away with a flee on my ear and to stop being silly.

Charley sorry you are feeling rubbish constant crisp eating is my recomendation for MS.

Themasterandmargaritas · 16/04/2009 16:04

....and chips Charley. I always found they helped enormously You of course, know it's a good sign that you feel so rough, but it is very annoying when everyone points that out so I'll stop now.

Jam that does sound unusual, poor wee man. Don't let those doctors bully you though, a mother's instinct that something is not right is a powerful sense. Finger's crossed.

Abby I can imagine you as this absolutely lovely teacher, I bet you are great with those littlies. Please move to Kenya.

twelveyeargap · 16/04/2009 19:36

Hello from rainy Dublin. LG&T, sorry about your brother. What happens next? Is N away at the moment? Are you coping ok?

When is it you will hear MrsJB?

Sorry about the MS Charley. Hopefully it will pass soon.

Jam, always good to get these things checked out.

DH is about to be made redundant. Fck, sht, blx. He was put "at risk" today and sent home but in reality that means he'll be jobless in two weeks. He's been straight onto headhunters, friends and ex-colleagues looking for a new job. Feel bad that I'm away. . Home tomorrow. May try to get some temp work for a while. DH will be on gardening leave so no point in us both being at home.

JamInMyWellies · 16/04/2009 19:51

Oh TYG sorry about that really hope something comes up soon take heart from our situation DP got work within 2 wks.

LG&T where are you lovey how did you get on this wk?

AbbyLou · 16/04/2009 21:33

Aaah, thanks TMAM. I can be an ogre when I want to be! I'd love to Kenya, maybe not forever, but just to see what it's like.
TYG, sorry about dh's crap news. Fingers crossed something will turn up soon.
We are off to my mum's for the weekend tomorrow so won't be around to post for a few days. I hope you all have lovely weekends!

elkiedee · 16/04/2009 22:49

CM, sorry you're suffering. Like Jam, I also found crisps actually reduced my sickness, especially posher and more expensive ones.

TYG, sorry to hear about your dh's impending redundancy - hope that one of you can find something soon. Will gardening leave mean that your dh carries on being paid for that time.

Themasterandmargaritas · 17/04/2009 05:50

Oh TYG, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope something comes up soon for him.

LG&T are you managing with all your appointments? Good luck for your bro's operation and for your check-up.

AprilMeadow · 17/04/2009 07:31

TYG sorry to hear about D's job. Fingers crossed that he is able to find something else soon.

LG&T how did Tuesday go? X

Abby hope you have a great weekend.

JAM I hope the dr's are able to tell what's wrong with L.

The managed to get fleas and leave 1/2 in our bed (euch) . I am covered in bites and thought I had found the little bugger..... Better get looking again!

MmeJaffaB · 17/04/2009 08:59

I'm adding dh into AM's missing worded sentence..... Although I'm sure it was the cat it makes me snigger more to think of C with fleas.

Alex(ander) is of course a fabulous name!!

TYG, hope he gets soemthing sorted soon, if he is able to approach head hunters then I'm sure he'll have not too many difficulties.

They said two weeks for results, that was two weeks today. This is France though, everything takes longer than they say so who knows.

Charley my love, I hope you feel better soon. It'll be worth it in the end, hope AM's preggie pops help

Jam, man up! He'll be fine when he gets used to it, he'll love it eventually I'm sure. I hope you sort L's little worry out and that it is nothing to worry about.

Have a nice time away Abby.

TMAM, your trip looked amazing. but not of the rain, although I sure you need it.

Another show tomorow night! I have the whole family coming to this one and my bf here and her parents. Quite nervous that I'll cock it up infront of them. Think the kids will enjoy watching Mummy dance though.

MmeJaffaB · 17/04/2009 09:00

I think THE Tuesday for lg&t is next Tuesday AM. Fingers crossed it goes OK though. x

Themasterandmargaritas · 17/04/2009 10:37

I hope you hear some news soon MrsJB.

Now, I have a cry for help for you oh froggie one. J's favourite toy is his Ellie, of course it is the one blasted toy that came from Cameroon, it is this doudou peluche elephant but ours is all one beige colour. It is by Kiabi, if when you are out shopping in glamorous malls, you stumble across our doudou, please could you buy it for me? It's not an emergency or anything yet, but I would like a back up If the worst comes to the worst I will contact these ebay people and ask for theirs.

AprilMeadow · 17/04/2009 10:50

oh yeah i meant cat!! duh!

MmeJaffaB · 17/04/2009 11:09

No problems TMAM, I will commence the Ellie Hunt.

largeginandtonic · 17/04/2009 14:22

Hullo me old muckers

Am fecking knackered. DD1 app went well, on the list for her squint now. Twin counselling good too.

Brothers app on Tuesday is for pre op. My colposcopy and his op is Tuesday after. The next 2 weeks are going to be BUSY.

Have had my bf staying for a couple of days, she has 4 boys and is preg with #5 Apparently 11 children is quite hard work The amount of food and plates lined up was absurd.

She is due 6th sept AM not far off you! The baby names are gorgeous. I have just decided that i don't like India's middle name. Not sure why, it has been bothering me. I want it to be Lucy What do you all think? Can i change it? Am i daft!

TYG fck, sht and bllx indeed. Hope he manages to find something quick. Have everything crossed for you.

My exp has been made redundant too, his wife is due to give birth any day now. Not great. Her bp has been up too, i made her go to hosp in the week as she had a headache too. I even said to phone my sister if she was alone. Am such a samaritan am i not? It is my childrens new brother in there though,i feel responsible.

I remember drapolene! Hope the sore bums are ok soon.

CM you poor thing with the ms. I ate pick and mix to stave it. I did have a section with the twins and have a whole list of reasons not to HB but always do anyway Ask away my lovely.

Jam the doc will send you on your way i'm sure

TMAM the trip sounds fabulous! the little ele is so cute!

Tills how are you feeling?

Scoot where are you?

Pink anything new happening? How are the baby plans going?

charleymouse · 17/04/2009 14:42

Thanks April, I can't believe how crap I feel I have hardly got any work done today as it a sheer effort to not be retching. I managed to sick up water this morning. Thanks a lot. I hat fleas and ants Yuk. Ants are trying to invade the kitchen at the mo.
Abby thanks will check out the website you recommended.
jam had crisps last week and felt worse
Have to say TMAM I am fancying chips with lots of salt and vinegar but don['t think I could stomach the smell of the chippy or cooking them at home.
12YG sorry to hear about DH hope you get something sorted asap.
Elkie may have to try different flavours then.
MrsJB good luck with the show, you will be fab.
LG&T Thanks have eaten two tescos waffles today and had one cup of coffee. Oh and the drop of water I had before getting up which I then threw up whilst brushing my teeth. Hope everything goes well with the colposcopy and your brothers op. Is there any reason you can see why I mightnot be able to have a HBAC? I think the polyhydramnios bit is concerning me as I got so huge I am worried my uterus is just one overstretched elastic band.
Hi Sky how did you get on with the signing on all okay?

AprilMeadow · 17/04/2009 14:56

LG&T I love the name Rose, but one of my close childhood friends has a dd named that, would be a bit weird as we both have the same name as well You are so good supporting exp w. Wow 11 kids in your house

Pink heard from Scoot this am - she is alive but snowed under at work, plus her dh has broken his leg

Off to make J's birthday party cake.... not sure what to do, am sure someting will come to me

AprilMeadow · 17/04/2009 16:26

SKYTVADDICT · 17/04/2009 16:39

Fingers crossed for the number jack 4 cake x

Bloody Hell TYG - its a nigthmare - hope something comes up for his soon.

Bloody Hell for Scoot too - a DH with a broken leg!!! She so deserves a break (no pun intended!)

Looks like Cs bum was fungal as it is clearing up nicely

Poor you CM - I remember the feeling well - it will get better x

LG&T - I bow down to you - 11 kids to feed! Sends shudders through me just thinking about it. Good luck to you and your brother for next weeks appointments x

AprilMeadow · 17/04/2009 17:44

cake is baked and cut into a 4. Just need to ice it later tonight Could still go belly up mind!

MKG · 17/04/2009 19:18

Hi everyone. I'm not even going to try to catch up as I'm so far behind. I hope everyone is going great with everyone. Things are ok with me. Life is crazy with the three kids, but on the whole I can't complain, although I've been seriously re thinking my marital status. Things just aren't going well right now. I think I may just be stressed out, but who knows?

Master-- I got your gift. Thank you so much it is adorable!

JamInMyWellies · 17/04/2009 20:37

Lovley to hear from you MKG now where are the photos of this gorgeous bundle.

Hope the birthday cake turns out ok AM.

More bad news today. My little sis 28yrs old had a colposcopy today and has cin3 vv severe her gynae has told her to expect the worst - poor love she is in the middle of moving to San Franscisco and has just split up from her husband. Am so very for her.

AprilMeadow · 17/04/2009 20:57

Oh JAM your poor sis I do hope that she has a good out come x

Great to hear from you MKG - any pics of A yet??

largeginandtonic · 18/04/2009 10:35

Oh God Jam, i am so sorry. What the hell is going at the moment. We are all falling apart. You must be beside yourself Will she stay till it is all sorted out, does she live far from you? It is utter shite. Lots of love to you.

I had cin 2 last year. They took it all out and am hoping a week Tuesday they will tell me it is all gone. Fingers crossed for her too.

MKG lovely to hear from you Reasess the marital thing when you are less hormonal. You went through this after Cruz too remember. Would love to see pics of Alicia.

AM you clever girl making the cake, bet it looks fab.

Scoot noooooooooo! You poor thing, the girls and dh to look after! Love to you too.

Dh home, hooray! Only for the weekend tough and then he is away for the next 3 weeks
