No goody bag?!!?!? That's crap

No goody bag is seriously crap good on your for doing it though, hope you don't ache too much tomorrow. Go for the next one, you know you like doing them I've not rowed in ages, its good fun eh

Jas, how's things?

Flame, {{Hugs}} for the feeling sick, n sorry for the sideways bubba again, get on all fours for the evening me dears, see if the little nutmeg goes the right way up for coming out again.

So, what's everyone else upto this weekend?

me, I had a row with my dad today, as he's in ostritch mode regarding his mum, who was found wondering around her neighbourhood very early this am and the chap who thankfully was an older gentleman himself and nice, took her home, to a house that was left wide open, all windows and door and table set for dinner for 4.... she's been admitted to hospital tonight and good advice from Jas, as she has been diagnosed with a water infection but unfortunatley they also think its something else too, as it has come on relatively suddenly, she's not even recognising my auntie and uncle at the moment.....(possible its the cancer, have feeling that's what they're checking) but anyway she's in good hands now.....hope my dad has gone into see her (mum was trying to drag him there, as she doesn't want his sister to have to deal with it all herself etc) gah families eh!

Frizbe - I hope the hospital can help your gran. At least she will be safe in hospital while they find out what is causing it.

I didn't know you were supposed to get a goody bag when you did a race. Obviously not done it myself.

Well I was supposed to be getting a coffin delivered to the house today. It didn't come. I really hope there isn't a problem. I've arranged the entire thing for Wednesday (I eventually found a funeral director willing to give me the advice and guidance to do it all ourselves) but no coffin would be a major problem, and nothing I can do abut it now til Monday.

DP is stressed (won't admit it, claims it is all physical and unrelated to his dad) and irritable. DD2 is 9 on Friday, so I'm also organising the party we had already sent the invites out for, too.

I do try not to wish away the days, normally, but I just want next week over with tbh.

Ooooh {{{{{Big Hugs}}}}}}} Jas, you've taken on a lot getting it all sorted out yourselves (but can understand why for cost) If its the big coffin manufacturers in Nottm you've ordered from, let me know, as uncle works there and can chase them up.

Hospital have said gran won't be going back to her own home, this much they do know for gran, but its what she needs. They're observing her for a few days and waiting on results, are particularly interested in her skin cancer it seems.....

for gran Friz, but that she's in the best place for her for the time being.

Sorry that you have such a lot on your plate again at the moment Jas. Is there anything that we can do to help?

Also knew you'd run mrm. I didn't know that you got goodie bags either, but sorry that you didn't this time. Still sounds bloody fast to me!

Had lovely weekend here with another mumsnetter and her family visiting. Dd actually managed her first sleepover where the guest didn't have to move to another room in order for them to get to sleep!

OMG Jas, what on earth you goonnna do if no coffin appears? Well done for sorting things out though. My Mum sent me a cut-out from a magazine costing out funerals just so I know for hers . Ok some things you can do nothing about, but they'd listed £350 for butties afterwards . Somehow I think our budgetr will be slightly smaller when the time comes.

I've got boxing thisafrenoon, and I'm so achy from classes yest, cos of bring unfit now after time off. Never taking that long off again not sure what to do when tooth gfets done.

Huge relief....coffin is here, and dp has arranged a second non-flappy man to go to the hospital and collect his dad on Wed.

mrm, we are only paying for the things we are legally obliged to do, and it will cost £800.
Which means dp can go out and buy a few rounds on his dad for anyone who wants afterwards, instead of us having to borrow the money to pay for it from my parents.

How's your gran doing now Friz? Hoping treatment is making her a bit more lucid if nothing else.

Jas - you're going through so much, and there is sod all I can do My mum set up her whole funeral (and paid for it) a couple of years back, me, my sister, and my dad have a card with a number on to call and they just take over apparently. Boy's family will be a very different story.

When your tooth is fixed properly MRM it will just be a couple of days (are they fixing it or just taking the thing out?) won't it? None of this lingering stuff.

I am in bitch mood from hell today. I am considering divorce just to make his life easier...

mrm- at mum... but cannot believe you went rowing straight after a run!

Friz-sorry to hear about your gran, hope she responds well to treatment though.

Jas- thank goodness coffin arrived... what a horrible situation, I hope dp is starting to come to terms with it soon.

Flame- sorry for mood... but I loved the video on your fb- seen before, but goodness, those giggles.. reminds me of csws' video of ds a few months back...

csws- glad weekend was nice... is dd actually improving on the whole sleep concept thing? mine is a little better weekdays- because she just conks out after nursery!

We are struggling with enough sleep here... teething going on... and DS learned how to screech at the top of his voice, and he LOVES to practice... wahey!

He's also slightly obsessed with the hedgehog wall sticker above dd's bed, and tries to talk to it in the middle of the night when he's feeding
Oh... and he's started growling at the windchime in the kitchen, which for some reason he is a little disturbed by- he sort of snuggles into me/dh, puts on a brave face, growls, then looks all scared and hides his face in our shoulder... odd lad!

He's gonna remeber that hedgehog forever you know. I still remeber obscure things like that.

To clarify, yes my Mum is insane, but there is a kind of logic, as she's been sending me funeral money every now and then for a couple of years (didnt want it in hr account incase it affected her benefits, although its only a grand, so not surte it would, as she only gets lowe level DSA anyway, plus pension credit).

Hurray for coffin, if thats the right thing to say. But you know what I mean

Flame, i'm sure you're not that bad. Although after 6 years, dh has finally decided to tell me what a living hell it was when I was pg, and how he almost couldnt take any more of me

Why wouldnt I go rowing after a run? It wasnt immediately anyhow, it was after a wee and kids icecream

Feeling happpier today after boxing; such a good way to let off steam But ran out of time, literally, so could only do 20min run after.

lol @ wee
I know what you mean about the hedgehog... I still remember things like stickers on my cotbed... he does love it, and is always pawing it, and trying to jabber at it... but he also 'likes' a picture we have up of dd's footprint when she was a baby... so you know, they're still fairly indiscriminate at this age!

ctually, you've just made me remeber that upstairs I have a picture me and my Mum made when I was 3 or 4... she got a bot of plywood and we painte it green and brown, then she drew a hedgehog shape on and I stuck loadfs of rug wools onto it. Er, i know that means nothing to you, but its one of the best craft things I have from my childhood . Oh and the Airfix robins-on-a-branch, ans an ashtray I made in reception

That sounds really nice

My auntie jean has had a major stroke

She was one of my gran's best friends (so that sort of "auntie" iyswim). Lovely lovely lady. When we told my gran about B, she turned round and said "well at least you're happy about it", when we told Auntie Jean she was all excited about new life, new family etc .

They have a DNR order, and it doesn't look like she will regain consciousness

Flame

She's gone

{{hugs}}

Oh Flame I'm so sorry.

Sorry flame.

Flame, I've texted you. x x

So sorry Flame.

Thank you everyone.

On a brighter note... Midwife appointment this morning - I am now 2/5 engaged and she can't see me making it to 40 weeks. I was very restrained and didn't kiss her
