Beat you; my taxi was £17 back from dentist last week . But bus there. Is that the sparkly brace, or did I dream that?

Am packing for going home at half term; going SAt morrning, but this is the only chance I'll get to sort things out in peace, while ds2 watches cbeebies Mum has most stuff tere for us already;lots of hand me down clothes etc, and I always leave knickers and pe kit there, and jamas for us all. So not much to take, just gotta sort out some presents for people's birthdays, and warm jumpers! And things to entertain them on the train (god I hate long trips with ds2).

And I'm trying to find an old sheet; halloween party at school tomo!

Had a very weird thing last night; watching tv, fel really sick, went to bathroom, threw up huge amounts, and at the end I was throwing up alot of blood, kind of clumpy. Then it stopped, I felt fine, and all back to normal straight away. What you think?

Jas · 22/10/2009 13:26

mrm - throwing up blood is not a good thing!
Ulcer? Any other abdo symptoms?

I'd be getting it checked at the gp if it were me.

Yes, sparkly brace. Cherry red with glitter She was totally incapable f speech when she got it yest, but is almost back to normal today.

Halloween disco at school here tonight, and dd1 is playing netball after school , so I have 4 more trips up there to do.

I think I am going t have to take them trick or treating this year. I hate it and always refuse, but dp promised last year that he would take them this time. They haven't forgotten, but he has not got home before 8.30 since he started working again....

mustrunmore · 23/10/2009 10:31

No symptoms, am all fine again, was a strange one-off.

ds1 on his final warning before I dont let him go to the party tonight

trick or treating... friend has a party every year, and she prearranges 5 or 6 neighbours to knowck on, which makes it safer and guarantees the kids get a warm welcome1

Jas · 23/10/2009 13:46

Very odd.....

My computer has done its wipe-the entire memory trick again If I ever get email adresses for people, I'll have to write them down somewhere as I've lost everything again.
CSWS - you responded the last time this happened. Could you check your sent messages (if you keep them) and let me know when it was some time please.

5th March .

EachPeachPearMum · 23/10/2009 22:41

mrm are you sure you're okay? Should get it checked with gp maybe?

jas- didn't you have a new computer fairly recently? how is it wiping memory? (but I'm sure if you knew that you'd do something that prevented it... doh!)

Jas · 24/10/2009 09:58

Thankyou csws

The new computer is dd1s. Mine is very old, and has been resurrected from death once already, and now twice cleared itself of lots of important things. No idea how, but I can reloAD AND START AGAIN, AND THE MAC MAN WHO COULD LOOK AT IT INVOLVES A TRIP TO LAKESIDE(Sorry)

damewashalot · 24/10/2009 10:06

Off to cadbury's world for ds2's birthday treat today
Just scanned thread and had to say MRM go to the doctor! that can't be good.
Waves at everyone else Flame, you fb status changes over the last couple of days have mostly made me go all fluffy but wanted to hug you last night, she will get used to the new shape of her family, it will be ok, thinking of you lots.

Jas · 26/10/2009 23:29

Was it good, Dame? I went with the dds on a Brownie trip, but my main memory is of the 4 hr coach ride....

No one else around?

We're on 1/2 term, with lots of days out planned t keep everyone busy. I can't bear the fighting if we're all cooped up in here, and ds turns the computer monitor off now if I try and put it on when he wants me to pay attention to him, so I can't even hide out on here and more.

CantSleepWontSleep · 27/10/2009 18:11

I'm around Jas. Been a bit busy myself.
Will email you later actually - it will be interesting so do check!

mustrunmore · 27/10/2009 19:10

I'm here; jusyt back from Mum's.

CantSleepWontSleep · 27/10/2009 19:36

Have emailed you too mrm.

Oooh people finally post

Took Lewis to his 1st speech therapy appointment today. She basically said it was probably our fault for giving him a dummy why he can't pronounce certain letters/words properly. He still has a dummy for bed and she said she thinks it would be best if he didn't have it anymore and also if Noah has one we should take it off him too because it isn't fair on Lewis to see his baby brother with one. Noah isn't that interested in a dummy but he does like it to go to sleep with but it's straight out as soon as he's asleep. Anyway he's on the waiting list again now to go to speech therapy clinic.

How is everyone?

mustrunmore · 28/10/2009 08:26

Phoenix, ds2 is totally atrocious with his pronounciation, and he's never had a dummy at all. He cant say words ending in k or beginning with l for example, and alot more besides. ds1 had a night dummy for 3 years and he's been word perfect since aged 2. It might well be the dummy for Lewis, but I wouldnt discount the concept of the speech therapist attributing a usual cause in his/her eyes because the situation seems to fit. Hope you get sorted anyway

Flamebat · 28/10/2009 19:00

she just sounds anti-dummy to me. she doesn't know your child in the slightest yet can say if he will be bothered by noah having one when he can't any more?

been all fun round here - I have had a virus from hell, sore throat (not a huge thing) but raging temp, sweats, shakes... delightful. Spent most of Monday/Tuesday in bed in a daze just waking to feed pretty much. Lovely breastfeeding lady came on Tuesday because we have been struggling sooooooooooo much with decent latch. Left side is sorted completely now, right is still a bit of a battle, but I think mainly it is because I back away in fear as she tries to latch on

Flamebat · 29/10/2009 18:35

Swab results came back from DD2's eye - turns out it is a group a strep infection, and it is most likely that I had it too (hence her getting it) and it was that that caused my feeling crapness monday/tuesday.

mustrunmore · 29/10/2009 18:47

OMG, I read that and thought 'who on earth is that? dd2?'

CantSleepWontSleep · 29/10/2009 20:55

mrm.

Frizbe · 30/10/2009 22:43

MRM you have half term brain eh!

OMG I've just seen my 1st Xmas advert, with snow n everything

sorry slightly distracted there...

CSWS, no, very poor German here, just about enough to order a train ticket/food....I really need to improve it, its a damn good job, they're good at English over there

Had a lovely time though, lots of new people met and some old very good for business

MRM GO TO THE DR's, there, did I shout that loud enough?

Flame {{Hugs}} haven't been on facebook to see your posts, but the illness sounds horrible hope you feeling lots better now and you're all doing better.

Dame, hope you had a good time

Jas, what's your dh like and ouch for the taxi fare great that you can choose sparkly braces now I was looking at dd1's teeth the other day, I think they're going to cost a bit to get heading in the right direction/she'll need a few out to make room for others

dd1's birthday here this weekend, busy busy busy!

Frizbe · 01/11/2009 21:18

strewth where have you lot been all weekend?

partied out here, dd1's disco this lunchtime, all went well, once she decided to like it had a wee moment when the dj decided to play a balloon popping game, ahem....tons of presents to wade through, all good though, either crafty, soapy/hairbandy or games, so all will get good use and Meri made her a wheat bag, plus lovely cushion for her room, so she's well chuffed Star Present from Auntie Lizzy who brought a Sylvanian Families Toy Store for her, dd1 well chuffed (Aunty L not so chuffed when she realised she had to sticker it all up )

Frizbe · 01/11/2009 21:19
