October 2007 These Little Piggies chased the easter bunny..and stole the eggs pt ll

[TheLadyEvenstar]

ok lets try here ladies!!!

Hey posting so I can find you again later - keep falling behind which I hate as I like chatting to you all! Hope everyone is well - I think of you all even when I can't get on to post!

Hi ladies,

Sorry, been at pils. Had home made chips and egg there for tea yum!

Everyone who has commented on my parents, thanks for the support.

NC - Yeah, I do wan to get a restraining order. The things that are worrying me are how much it'll cost and I don't want to have to go to court... I've been trying to find out more about it but there doesn't seem to be a lot of clear info out there. Tried to call our local citizens advice bureau but they don't have enought volunteers to answer calls all the time so I can't get hold of anyone, only other option is to go there in person so might have to do that.

You're welcome to come and be a rot weiller anytime you like . Give us a month or 2 to finish the decorating however. Oh and i'm afraid I don't have a guest room but I do have an air bed as big as a real double bed woo hoo!

Muppet - You're right, she is unhinged. Her behaviuor scares me, shes so unpredictable I don't know what she'll do from one minute to the next. I do need to find a way to save the messages premanently. I think i'll record them to my phone as a starting point then try and transcribe them from there. I have a bit of a mental block about doing it cause I just get so mentally tormented from listening to the messages. I know I need to do it though so i'll have to force myself.

WWAJC - Yeah, my parents will try any tactic alright

Glad Anya enjoyed jo jingles . Hope some jobs come up from those agencies

Alicet - Good luck with the move. Hope it all goes smoothly and you're not gone too long.

Pixie - Sorry your DD has been so ill, must have been so worrying for you. It must be diffucult having to see all those different sconsultants. Hope they can help anyway. Hope you get the support you need with regards to getting some proper switch off sleep.

Stefka - Hi there, have been thinking of you. Hope you're doing ok. Hope you're not too tun off your feet. Looking forward to hearing more about how you're getting on when you get more spare time, or should I say if you do

Inzi - Is NC right? Have you fallen down a drain hole? How's the weight loss going?

Sleepmenot - Thinking of you, look forward to hearing from you again soon

Les - Hi, saw your legoland pics on facebook, looks like you had a nice day!

Hi to everyone i've missed... x

dal -the egga nd home made chips sounds lovely

Can you speak to the police officer who dealt with the incident? Can they give you more advice re the restraining order?

ALice - GOOD LUCK ON THE MOVE, AM THINKING OF YOU TODAY!!! (Know you won't read this but you might have heard me shout!

Henry is getting more mobile -fell off the sofa this morning so that's good. He can stand on the sofa without help and now walks (occasionally when he feels like it) holding one of my hands. Still sits down when he's had enough and refuses to do anymore!

Loving using his spoon/fork and feeding himself and is picking up signs really fast (Floria/WWAJC what's the sign for STOP THROWING TRAINS AT YOUR BROTHER YOU NAUGHTY LITTLE TYKE...?)

The garden is still a success and my friend gave me a huge plastic playhouse for Henry though Ollier is loving it so the garden looks way more child friendly and is actually being played in. Still no dogs, not sure when they can be let back in as we do miss them. Dex seems to have finally accepted the new area and is actually doing 'all' his business finally.

I'm feeling much better and not many twinges, just random sharp pains but that just seems how it is. Sitting is boring though I have just written my final assignment in 2 days so feeling quite smug chuffed as I want it done soon so I get more time to revise. I can't work on assignments and revise at the same time it seems as I just worry about not doing the assignment iyswim. Can no longer use the pat top with Henry in the room as he wants to invesigate it with me!

love to all
xxx

hehem

not good Henry fell of the sofa but good he's moving more!

NC, I am free EVERY weekend lol I live a very sad life where I don't goout much atm.
You know you are welcome any time!!!

Christening was brilliant! lots of fun and Zachary looked sooooooooooooo gorgeous in his shirt and tails (until he got chocolate down him!!) and that was before the christening!!! he had it hidden.

All 10 of the godparents had a good time as well, as we had a blast afterwards, somehow we managed to get through 14 a fair few bottles of wine between 5 loadssss of us.

There is 1 piccy on my profile!

Hope everyone else is doing well!!!

Love ya all

Sounds lovely TLES! Wish we could have all been there!

That's great about the sleep Inzi - very jealous!!!

Glad you feel better muppet

I am waiting to stat my job as my disclosure won't come through. It's nice having extra time with Dareh who is mega clingy right now but I can't afford to be off much longer.

Stefka I wish you could have all been there, would have made the day even better!!!!

Hello ladies, I feel like I have been away for days and actually I have

I have managed to catch up on all the chat but am now far too tired to try and reply to it all in any depth. I didn't get to bed till 11pm last night as I went out for a meal with friends, then I woke up at 1.45am and haven't been to sleep since. Have had a rare case of insomnia I am now feeling very tired, typically, but the boys will be up soon and I have them all day so no chance of a snooze today. Looks like I will be going to bed with them tonight! My eyes already feel crap, how on earth am I going to cope today?

Anyhow, very quickly and apologies for the short comments...

alicet - GOOD LUCK on your move and I hope we see you back really soon.

muppet - glad the pains are subsiding and I hope Henry starts walking for you soon. When is your due date again?

Inzi - Well done on the continued weight loss, you are doing fantastically well, and well done to your DH too

Dal - So sorry to hear about all the crap your parents are putting you through, you have had some good advice on here and I'm glad you are acting on it.

WWAJC - Great news about Anya.

Stefka - Hope the job is going ok, even though you are too busy to post much anymore at least you have a job which is the main thing.

LES - Glad the Christening went well.

Hope I haven't missed anything too bad, my brains fried now

Regarding Ben he is still a very cheeky monkey and testing me at every opportunity. Yesterday he was on the naughty mat 6 times!!! Sam has only been on the naughty mat 6 times max in 3 years.

He has been off his food for about three weeks now, these blasted 4 fangs are taking their toll on him but it looks like they are nearly through thankfully. His sleep is back to normal, you ask him if he wants to go to bed now and he is like a nodding dog in his enthusiasm to go to bed, he had a bout of going to bed at at about 6.30pm but has settled back down to about 7pm now till 7-7.30am which is fantastic

No other real news here, just plodding on with daily life, hence the reason I'm not posting as much because there is not really much to tell you all. I do read and catch up most days though

Lisa, same here..I have got so little in the way of anything going on that I have very little to say I do read everyday and see what everyone is doing!

We are still looking for somewhere to move to and think we have found a place (fingers crossed)

DP has said if I want to visit any of you to let him know and he will drive me to you woohoo!!! so am going to make a list of people and just hand it to him!

LOL So everyone look out!!!

NC, he still hasn't had that long weeekend off other than the one just gone and that was the christening of ratbag. But when he does we will be up to see you!!

Anyway got to get Zachary dressed and then jump in shower myself...if he lets me since he is a klingon big time lately.

Muppet - Good idea to talk to the police officer involved with the incident. I mentioned a restraining order to him and he said 'yeah, well talk to your solicitor and we can go from there'. Dh and I are going to go in to the cab next tues, he's got that day off as hol

Glad that Henry is getting more mobile and that he fell off the sofa

Inzi - Thanks for the hugs.

at Jane being able to walk up and down the stairs and talk in sentences! Dylan kind of crawls up the stairs, the closest he's come to a sentence is 'there's the baba'

at the swine flu, I just keep hearing about it but haven't actually heard the fact on the news or anything. Is it like bird flu? I'm sure they'll have measures in place to try and stop it spreading...

Les - Glad the christening was good . He looks so sweet in the pic!

Stefka - Hope the disclosure comes through soon. Must be nice to have the extra time with Dareh though

LLL - Sorry about the lack of sleep last night, it's awful when you feel that tired and can't catch up on the sleep, hope the boys are good for you today.

Hope Bens fangs come through soon, it's no fun when they're off their food.

Dylan has a 'naughty area' of the lounge (just at the end of the sofa), he's a good little boy but occasionally does unacceptable things or unsafe things like jumping on the sofa near the window despite being told not to. Most recently he has started smacking dh and I for no reason at all so he got 'timed out' for that yesterday.

He was standing on my knee this morning and accidentally headbutted me in my front tooth , he was ok surprisingly, just had a red mark which i've put some arnica cream on. Thankfully my tooth survived too.

LLL and Les - with you on not having much exciting to report in my life either, apart from the situation with my parents. Would rather be posting about something more upbeat though.

Our 5th month of TTC this month. Getting really broody now. Was thinking about being pg with Dylan and going for scans etc last night, ah happy memories!

The cases of swine flu in Scotland are in the town where I live!

Still no disclosure, very annoying.

Dareh's latest game is trying to walk around with his eyes closed. He keeps walking into walls.

Stefka! That must be scary, hope they give more info shortly.

lol at Dareh walking around with his eyes closed

Alice - hope the move went well - we will miss you so hope you are back soon .

Pixie - sorry to hear dd is poorly. Sorry to be thick but what is SW and CAF? Glad you're getting support though.

NC - lol at boringness of our careers. I like the business side of being an accountant though and bossing people about organising systems.

Muppet - at Henry falling off the sofa. Glad he's getting more mobile - saves you having to carry him so much.

Inzi - wow at Jane saying sentences - she's soooo clever. Very impressive weight loss too - you must feel fantastic. Fingers crossed swine flu keeps its distance.

LES - glad christening went well - sounds like a great party.

LLL - hope you manage to get some decent sleep. LOL at Ben on the naughty mat - can't imagine doing that with Anya, she'd never be off it!

Stefka - pmsl at Dareh walking round with his eyes closed.

Hello to everyone I've missed.

We are away tomorrow for a few days - down near Chiltern valley (sp?) for 3 nights then to London for a christening on Sunday. Am really looking forward to it, plus nearly a week off work .

Hi all,
life is a bit manic at the moment - asthose of you following the sage on fb may well have seen ...

muppetgirl - thank you for the link to the sundress - I'm definitely going to have to make a couple!
Glad Henry is starting to do the walking thing - and the fact that he moved enough to fall off the sofa is a good thing!

WWAJC - Mairwen has lots of different types of "no" ... we have from "nooooo", when she's trying a block in the wrong hole of her shape sorter to NO!!!" accompanied by her giving jibs and folding her arms in a real grump!
Good news about your CV eliciting lots of interest. I don't think I would be cut out for a job with any sort of sales targets - I get too wound up!

Dal - just great big hugs for you - Alice and co have already given you the best advice - perhaps you could ask somebody else to transcribe the answer phone messages for you as they upset you so much.

Alice - I know you won't be able to read this, but I really hope that the whole move has gone well.

pixiemason - enormous hugs to you - life with a child with additional needs can seem like an uphill struggle.

inzi - wow! at your weight loss! I had got down to target, but M's sleeping has gotten so bad since I went back to work that I've hit the chocolate and put about a stone of it back on again - oh well, I'll lose it eventually!

Stefka - Grrrrrrr on your behalf about the CRB - surely though, you should be getting some pay as you're officially in post?

Well, news from us: Mairwen's asthma seems to be settling down with the current inhalers - she's really good about taking them, and doesn't make a fuss: in fact she reminds us (signs shaking her pump if she thinks we're going to forget!) The exczema, though is not settling: we're having real difficulty keeping it under control: her torso looks like a leopard-skin, it's so cracked and dry: she's also had an infection in her belly-button this week, so has been on antibiotics again. When I picked her up this morning, the skin in her armpit just split ... it's awful!
I'm sooooo glad that I'm still bf - I dread to think what it would have been like had I not

However, she's not letting it get in the way of her bid to conquer the world ... she runs, climbs, puts herself on the slide in the garden, and demands to be allowed to join in when R is playing with his lightsabre.
She doesn't have many words as such, but she definitely understands everything we're saying - in both languages. She's got an impressive repertoire of animal noises to make up for it though
I wish she would start to call me mammy though : I'm still called Daddy most of the time!

Work is frantic: it's speaking exam time - they're nearly done - it's been chaotic organising it this year: we're doing 18 different languages - a logistical nightmare!

My sister was the victim of an arson attack last Thursday: some absolute !"££"$£ put a lit bottle of lighter fluid through her letter box in the middle of the night, when she was in bed. To be frank, it's a miracle she got out alive. Her flat is gutted, and she's camping with my parents for the time being. The police are being wonderful - the insurance company are treating her like a criminal, rather than the victim of an horrendous crime. and

Right, I've been to my Welsh lesson, and I thought I'd catch up with you all before I turned in: I'll try not to leave it so long next time ....

Hi all. sorry not to have been around.
Crochet; at your sis being the victim of an arsonist. at the insurance co on her behalf. Im sorry to hear of all your illness and poor Ms asthma and excema, isn't she good not letting it slow her down? I hope things improve for you and all the family soon

Pixie; I'm so very sorry to hear about your dd.[hugs] It must be so terribly hard for you and all the family, at least you are getting some support at last.

Muppet; glad the pains are subsiding and that Hen is starting to get more mobile even if he is falling off the sofa. Personally I wouldn't let the dogs into the family area of the garden for several months..until they have forgotten they ever 'owned' it and all scent is completely gone (to their incredibly sensitive noses.)

Les; lovely pic, glad the christening was a sucess... did you invite the mil and sil in the end?

Stefka; lol at D walking into walls! I dont remember playing that game until I was about 7!!! A bit worrying about the swine flu being in your area though

Alice; I hope move no 1 went well, wasn't too stessfull and that the boys have settled well into their temporary home.

Inzi;fab weight loss for both you and your dh, well done! wow at Js sentances! Alex has a lot of words but his only phrase is "peese? milk, peese!"

Dal; I think the idea of having some one else doing the transcribing for you is a particularly good one. Hope you manage to get things sorted and your life on an even keel soon [hugs]

WWAJC; Have a fab time in the chilterns. lol at A needing to be on the naughty mat all the time...Alex would never be off it either! And glad there was some interest in your cv...I hope something more suited to you comes up soon.

Hi to everyone else I havent mentioned (sorry)

We have had a good couple of weeks with the toilet training...9 dry nights out of the last 13, and 100% clean, 90% dry days...he still isnt telling me he needs the potty in time just signs "T" for toilet and says "oh, ow" as he is going however he has twice gone to the potty on his own when I wasn't looking (once with his pants still on)but I'm glad I'm still putting him in a nappy at night as this morning at 5.45 he woke me screaming "mummeee!" ... poor darling had had expolsive diarrhoea (but still didnt wee until I put him on the toilet [ahhh, little treasure, emoticon])shortly followed by a bout of vomiting. Now I know why he didnt want his dinner last night... He is now cuddling up with me on the sofa watching cbeebies and only wants bf (threw up after the first couple of feeds but seems to be keeping it down now)I'm hoping it is just something he has picked up and eaten rather than a virus...whatever, it looks like we wont be going to have his feet measured this morning as origionally planned. Hope everone else is ok

oops sorry...didnt mean to make my (((hugs))) into links

Crochet that is so awful about your sister. I hope she is ok.

No money for me as they won't let me sign a contract until I am cleared. Really hope the post brings it today!

I have the SIL coming this weekend and am getting nervous already. Last night she was telling me that she was having probs getting her DD to sleep as she was crying so much she was making herself sick. So she would go in and change her but refused to talk to her or make eye contact. So she won't approve of me still getting up all hours of the night to feed DS back to sleep that's for sure!

Hahah bloody brilliant!

FT No i didn't invite them, and had a much better day for it!!!!

It really was a great day.

Tles; glad you enjoyed the day without them and hope it has no repercussions in the future.

Inzi; lol at that link!

Alex started with D&V yesterday but by lunch time was loads better so I let him eat some egg and cheese, which went down well. 4 hrs later I let him have a little steamed fish and rice which also went down well but having had lots of naps during the day he wasnt ready to go to bed before dh and I ate and he screamed for our curry..I stupidly let him have some nan bread and boy did we pay for it at 1am when he woke for a bf and promptly threw it all back over himself, me, the bed, the floor.... he slept for the rest of the night but I was worried he might choke in his sleep so lay in a hastily remade spare bed listening to his breathing all night. Since waking at 5.30 this morning he has bf'd 6 times and thrown up 4 times but at least he has kept some down...looks like another joyous day of nursing and cleaning up ahead of me again..shame really because the sun is shining and it would have been nice to get out.

Floria - Sorry you're having one of those days, it's so awful when they're ill . Good that he's keeping some bm down, best thing for him . Sorry you can't enjoy the sun, maybe you could just nurse him outside in a deck chair then let him throw up in the garden? That way you could just hose it down after , maybe not... Ignore me, i'm babbling, hope he makes a speedy recovery.((((get well soon vibes)))))
