Oooggs, F can be hard going at times too, but so cute!

SPB, hope T is giving you a bit of quiet time now, hope he is ok x

Off to bed now, night ladies

StealthPolarBear · 05/04/2009 07:33

Hi everyone
Better night thanks, and much happier T!
We're off to try to get him some new shoes today, hoping his feet have grown as I have 20% off!

Morning!

Just before I put on ads; anyone have a need for either a pair of black plimsols for PE at school in size 9.5 or a Motherease Airflow wrap in small??

Also, I neeeeed a pair of black Plimsols in 10.5 / 11!!!!

Merci buckets

runnyhabbit · 05/04/2009 10:40

Oohh Dippy, can I bag the plimsolls please. J has to wear pe kit after Easter. Let me know how much

MJ - Dh was out fishing yesterday too. The first time he's gone fishing, and is now planning on making it a regular thing. Which is fine by me as long as he takes the boys so I can a few hours to myself

W is being very trying atm. Not sure what it is, but it is reassuring to know there a few of us going through the same thing.

Beautiful day here, so going to get lots of laundry done, then we'll all go out later.

have a nice day

Happy birthday to Sarai, Rachel and Littlefrog's baby boy, in case any of them (or their mums) are lurking on the thread.

oooggs · 05/04/2009 19:22

How did I miss those important birthdays? a very happy birthday to Milo and Isobelle

We went out today to the local country reserve and Erin pushed the pram over with Luke in it it was parked on a slope (my fault) as she didn't do it on purpose and with very little effort.

He is fine, I was distraught and have learnt a lesson about pushchair parking!!

I also have a red face from sun and didn't realise it was so hot. Thankfully the children are fine and its just me who looks like aunt sally!!!!!!!!!

StealthPolarBear · 05/04/2009 19:45

glad he was OK. Was she trying to push him around?
Well for anyone who wants to know, T has a bit of diarrhoea. Hoping it's a one off . Am gettng all excited about his birthday party - he can't be ill for this one!

PillockWithRedHair · 05/04/2009 21:36

pmsl at Liath's mistake about MJ's dh

really not sure about the Easter bunny ears something just a little weird about them

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all those I have missed (and Pesha - please tell Jamie I am including him in that not that i'm implying he's like a 2yr old or anything! )

Oh yeah - Pesha - BABIES cannot name 15 Thomas characters, only TODDLERS can

Dippy - may have sz11 plimsolls never worn because M hates them , will look in the morning

News from the Pillock household -

Clock change really messed sleeping up here.

J not been going to Justin's because he was kicking and screaming but we're making progress and I might stand slim chance of night off some time this year!

J keeps getting dodgy tummy and the dirty nappies cause him skin irritation so bad he screams and screams until showered.

M doing well, his 'wife' of the last 3 years is emigrating to Oz after Easter so I'm preparing for the fallout when he finally comprehends this means never seeing her again

Started actively looking for a job with less hours and closer to home. Will be applying for admin job at M's school when it comes up even though I think it's probably not for me. Decided that my work/life balance needs adjusting. Combined with the changes at work now not looking likely til June (Ange/Pesha - should make sense to you!), and the stressful nature of work at the mo, I think I need to get into doing a less involved job for the sake of all our sanity!

J has now left Nursery. Been feeling less comfortable with it over last year but more so in last 6 months. He can go to the Preschool at 2 and as that coincided with Easter Hols I took the plunge and he finished on Friday. Starts at Big Boy School after hols . He's really excited, almost as excited as he is about his "light-keen" nappies - had a money off voucher for pull-ups and they were reduced already so bought some for J to wear, they have Lightening McQueen from Cars on the front took me quite a while to work out he wasn't telling me his nappies were light green

As the name may tell you - I have dyed my hair. Decided that this summer instead of dying my hair brown to try and hide the ginger tones I'd give up and dye it red instead. Still not sure but think I'll get used to it. Now I need to get it cut again, want to go back to the short cut I had last year.

Back to Papworth on Thursday for assessment after being on meds for 3 months. Going well still and am optimistic. Had a few days where I needed maximum dose but then just had a few where I either took minimum or none at all.

Have missed you all sooooooooo much, changing hours after Easter and plan to make catching up with you guys my lunchtime activity

ps.... still think the new MN styleee is pretty dire!

elkiedee · 05/04/2009 23:03

Nice to hear from you PWRH!

PillockWithRedHair · 05/04/2009 23:15

was about you getting called in to see doc, but to see that C's weight is good

CaptainDippy · 06/04/2009 08:13

Amazing to seeeeeee yoooooou PWRH -wanna see pics of hair! Sounds fab. Life seems life it is slowly working out fory ou, which is great. You have made some good decisions I think, esp regarding J and nursery. about M and his "wife", hope it doesn't hit him too hard. Are they rich?? Would they pay for you to visit?? Anyway, hope to "see" more ofy ou now my lovely!

My DC's are still asleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're supposed to be going out for the day ..... best get a move on ........

Happy Birthday Molly and Esme

Pillock, so lovely to hear from you. I was only thinking about you the other day, was planning to send you a message on FB the next time I logged in (which isn't that often!), but you beat me to it!
I want to see photos of the red hair please
Glad you have got things sorted out with J going into pre school.
Glad things seem to be going well with your meds too, must make a huge difference to you day to day.
Look after yourself
And just for the record I really like the bunny ears

Not much happening here today, waiting in for the man to sort my heating again. It keeps coming on with the hot water and won't go off, fine in the middle of winter but not so good when the weather is milder!

Bramshott · 06/04/2009 09:43

Happy Birthday to Milo, Izzy, Molly and anyone else who's had a birthday since I've last been on!

We are all fine after Friday's shock! The nurse reckoned that O held her breath when she fell, either from the shock, or because she was too busy crying (you know when they do a huge cry for such a long time and don't take a breath), and that that was what made her go floppy. Needless to say she has been fine since.

SOL - thanks for asking re N. We sent the specimen in more than a week ago, but haven't heard anything yet. Typically, she has been much better since we did the specimen (which she was SO glad to get over!). I guess they will call us if they need to see her.

elkiedee · 06/04/2009 10:44

Happy birthday Molly and Esme

oooggs · 06/04/2009 13:26

geordieminx · 06/04/2009 19:54

Happy birthday to all the babies that I have missed!

oooggs · 06/04/2009 20:33

oooggs · 06/04/2009 20:34

CaptainDippy · 06/04/2009 23:57

Morning

A quick drop in before work.

Lovely to see you Pillock.

Apologies for the birthdays I have missed. Hope you all had lovely days. Our internet connection has been awful and I haven't been able to get on.

Anyway, hope everyone is well; catch up this evening assuming internet being up and running. xx
