January 2009 - Wiggly babies, wobbly mummies (well some of us) and never shall we all meet??

Reverse psychology...

Hi all, sorry not been on the thread for ages if anyone remembers me

Things are a bit hectic here and I find it hard to fit everything in!
Kerr has 3 teeth now, and is teething badly at the moment - been crying for 3 days solid and not sleeping at night either, wee soul. He's crawling (in his own fashion) and walking round the furniture already. I can't believe how quick the time is passing. We're doing a mix of BLW and spoon feeding, but he's not that fussed about solid food yet. Not sleeping through the night yet either, but I console myself with the thought that it won't be forever.

I hope everyone is well, and enjoy the festival this weekend tree - will catch up on the nappy thread if not on here

Oh Dog, sorry about the unfortunate x-post. Sorry you've had a rotten day, hope it goes better tomorow.

I'm here! been moonlight on potty threads . HZ join me here with your results!

Thanks 120... had a disasterous morning...about 5 changes of clothes...but then...this afternoon....1 poo and 1 wee in the potty..hazahhh! Have bookmarked the other thread. Have a good hols

Dog Poor beth...hope she is ok, daft docs for not x-raying. Hope tomorrow is better, it seems to be a bit of a hormonal rollercoaster for lots of people on this thread at the mo, maybe we are all getting in sync with each other. Hope you have a peaceful evening and a better day tomorrow.

Scotia Wow, Kerr sounds like he's on the move and doing well on the tooth front too. Glad my DS is not the only one who is not showing much interest in solids...I guess he doesn't need to given the size of him

Grrrrrr Tiger ! Good name

Night all

Oh furry - it sounds so worrying- I really hope they have got it wrong

dog poor dd1... hope she feels better soon

hkz glad paed visit was worthwhile- at least it is reassuring to know he is developing as he should, even if it is erb's.

tiger think I missed where dh has gone?

120 what is a mecca day? is it a local saying?

and socerette- yay for house hunt- hope viewing is good too

and hi to scotia- long time, no see

DS just peed all over me whilst I changed him twice !!!

Morning all!

oh no dog - hope things get better soon

hi scotia time does move quick

furry - oh no hope u get money situation sorted out

dd1 is 4 years old tom cant wait setting decs up in loundge tonite and decorating cake off to paultons park @ 9am tom and staying in soton in a hotel

Away till Tues - bye for now!

Furry Poor you- hope it gets sorted. And... i would look into that ... even if they HAVE overpaid you, i think its unlikely they can simply DEMAND it back in one lump sum.. Its their do-do... the least they can do IF you owe it, is to be co-operative in allowing you to re-pay gradually.

Dog Feeling better?

househunt House was rubbish inside, much smaller and gloomy and for the price, not worth half! Pfft. Back to Sq. 1!!

NEws have fun! xx

soc - sorry house not good house buisness is frustrating hang on in there
have a good one news

i wont be on tom till sun night

Dog I am sorry you think its the start of PND, whatever you do don't stop posting on here, you won't bring the thread down, that's what its here for. So please don't disappear, everyone on here will be here for you

dog please don't go. It's times like these that you need people to moan to. As for bringing the thread down - pants to that, not a chance you would. If you want to go because MN isn't helping RL then understand that, but don't go because you feel like we wouldn't want you.

Get yourself to GP asap. I know you don't like idea of ADs and I don't either, but sometimes they are what is needed - talk to your GP about the options. I took them for depression once, they helped me through the worst while I sorted out counselling etc. Ask for DEMAND a referral asap to a counsellor too. Don't leave until you've been referred. Do you want me to come with you and lay the law down - I'm scary you know

Oh God. What a fucking nightmare of a day.

So, we'd planned to go away for a couple of nights for my 30th in April. Booked an expensive hotel in Sorrento on an offer and asked MIL if she could have the children. Hotel is adults only and we wanted a bit of a relaxing break. Today FIL informed me that they had booked to go to their holiday home at the same fucking time so can't have the kids - they go every 6 weeks, it wouldn't really have hurt not to book the same time. When I asked why they booked for then he said it was because they wanted to take his sister and that was when her holidays were and she didn't want to go later in the year as it would be too hot. WTF!! Move your bloody holidays then and lose one or two of the eleven stone you are carrying around for insulation - sorry am fever pitch angry about this. When I said we had booked hotel and would lose money he replied with "Oh well." Oh fucking well. We haven't been abroad for 2 years, I'm sure they could have waited a week! Or come back a few days earlier.

And I have a lump in my breast. I've been aware of it for a while really, a couple of months but thought it was a bf thing and would go. It hasn't and now I'm starting to go insane with wondering if I'll even see my 30th and if it is worth getting het up about the bloody holiday or if life is too short. Am going to GP on Tuesday, am sure it is nothing. I'll go and wash up now.

As you were.

Peach I think I missed where my DH has gone too A good friend told me today she has a hard time keeping up with his movements, I agreed. He is on a jolly fact-finding trip to a music festival the only reason I am not mad about it is it is peeing it down and he is soaking wet, muddy and fed up and wants to come home. He's away next weekend too. Grrr.

Scotia Good to hear from you. Cruising the furniture

Evening Elkie

Soccer hope you find something soon. How is the apartment?

HZ Hope the house stuff is making progress. Any luck with the hippo bedding? Which one do you mean? Ebay?

Right, really am off now.

Tiger- sorry to hear about the lump, I would be insanely worried too so I can only imagine. Glad you are getting it checked. rom what I hear they are a bit reluctant to do much whilst still bfing so make sure that they don't fob you off. Does it feel really hard? DH had testicular cancer aged 19 and says his lump was really hard and there was no mistaking it, I always get him to check my boobs as he knows what he is looking for ( he doesn't mind ).
How unbelievably shit about the holiday! I can't believe they go every 6 weeks or so yet HAVE to go this time. Can anyone else have the DC's? Your sister or other relatives?

Dog- I can only reiterate what others have said, please don't go though if you think you will bring others down. that won't happen, I at least always rely on you to brighten up my day . If you need a break though, take one and we will be here waiting when you have time to return.

Boden and news-Have fun on your weekend jaunts

Soccer- How crappy about the house, something will turn up and at least you guys are all together at the moment. We are having a packing nightmare at the moment. Got 4 boxes done today (despite the DC's climbing all over me!) but no bloody where to put them!

Furry- hope you can sort the money stuff, it sounds so worrying. Tax credits have messed us around and we are no longer recieving payments as they claim to have overpaid.....err, they have not but I am holding fire and think we should get it in April. We have queried 3 times and each time the figures have come back different, they really do not know their arse from their elbow! good luck, thinking of you!

Scotia- DS cruising here too, its a bloody nightmare. He looks like Mr Bump at the moment, holding on with one hand is not good at the moment! Pulling himself up on everything (some random old lady's walking stick the other day).

120 and HZ- looks like the potty training going well.

DD was an angel at the hairdressers and ducks today then a demon at home when my friend came round to occupy the DC's whilst I packed. I am blaming sugar (she had a jelly snake as a treat for the hairdressers) but really I just NEED PRE-SCHOOL TO START!

On a lighter note I taught her how to play 'guess who' today and it was hilarious

Tiger i know you already know this, but i really would get any lumps checked out asap?! But..... when i had mastitis, my blocked ducts were a really hard lump- could it be that? are you in any discomfort. Total bummer about holiday. Are you parents Around/Local to look after the kids? Maybe you could get DH to speak to his parents about it? Maybe its possible to move their holiday? Sounds like you could do with some time away........ @ holidaying every 6 weeks. Mmmmmm!!!

Apartment does the job just fine. Off to see Barn conversion in morning. Hopefully bit more suitable.

Off to bed- wiped out! xxxxx

Want to swear but arse arse arse arse tiger and dog. What rubbish days and I am thinking of you both. Please both of you get yourselves to your gp asap and get sorted. Not to nag but if it was your kids you would have been there yesterday and you need to look after yourselves to look after them iyswim. Do it!
Zoo was fab. Hanging now though. DH back to playing rugby tomorrow. Boo hiss.. but pays mortgage so can't really moan too much. Bright side is going for pub lunch with my family which should be nice.
Shocker - dragon boat racing is next week!
Oh and S lost 5oz in 9 days. Would you panic? Was on 2 different scales so going again next week to weigh again. Doc on phone told me that he was concerned that a child couldn't survive that weight loss and I should bring him in asap. My blood ran cold.. until I realised I told him he had lost 5lb I was so mortified and felt so stupid. If only I could lose 5lb.

Not sure Gumps - I think weigh again and then see. Has he been okay this week otherwise? Seems happy, alert etc.? If he is then I wouldn't worry, would just let the medical people decide if it needs worrying about next week.

Am going to GP on Tuesday - should have gone ages ago, been putting it off. Stupid really.

As for holiday - have asked my sister. Told her to take a while to think about it rather than offer to have them and then regret it later. She has her own baby so not sure if asking her to take on my two for 3 days is a bit too much. Plus BIL would end up taking holiday and I'd feel pretty crap about him having holiday just so we could iyswim. Sat on the phone to her for AGES ranting about the situation. They weren't even apologetic which has annoyed me more than anything else. I kept hearing myself saying "So I'm not being unreasonable", "Please tell me I'm not being unreasonable" This place has infected me!

Tiger You are sooooo not being unreasonable,or YANBU as they say on MN. I would be fuming if I was in your shoes too. Have you told DH? What does he thinK? It seems especially out of order for FIL not to be in the slightest bit apologetic. Grrrr, am for you. Glad you are seeing the GP on Tuesday. Try not to stress out too much before then, which I know is far easier said than done. I had a lump last year and ignored it for far too long and it was a cyst, which actually disappeared of its own accord the minute they offered to cut it out. But it is stressful and worrying none the less. This sort of hippo bedding is what I mean, I love hippos. Builder starts on monday...hooray. Our house stinks of damp now...but will be all shiney and sweet smelling in a few weeks.

Pat Agress with what you are saying about the tax credit people...we are still paying back despite my numerous phone calls insisting they had it wrong and them re calculating it wrong over and over. Grrrr. Am also on tenter hooks for nursery to start (next week..yay!) Then back to work for me in 10 day (boooo hiss)Was it you who got round brushing your DD's hair by pretending you were at the hairdressers? I have stolen that trick and it works a treat.

Soc Hope the barn is more fruitful...

Boden My aunty lives near Paultons, I always drive past the signs when I go and visit. Is it an amusement park? I have always been curious..

Gumps Hope S is ok. Have no idea about weight loss and its implications, but I guess I wouldn't worry too much if he is alright otherwise.

off to bed here so just a quick check in to say for both of your crappy days, dog and tiger.

tiger, i had a mammogram a couple of years ago for a lump so i know it's really hard not to dwell on it but really, it's much more likely to be nothing than something, iyswim. try to forget about it for the weekend, tuesday is soon enough to deal with it.

dog, you mustn't go anywhere. we are here to offload to and to send virtual chocolate.

tiger I found a lump in my breast after having dd- she was about 6mo I think. It turned out to be hormonal changes in my breast- hope thats all it is.

gumps that must have been a bit nerve-wracking! hope S is okay.

__

Dog Darling- please stay. You won't bring us down- you never could- and we would all want to help you, support you, just listen to you if we can.

__

Dog, please stick around. I remember your texts when I really needed the support, and when you were waiting for/having your own baby to deal with.

And Tiger, hope the lump turns out to be ok. Grrr at your thoughtless inlaws.

Off to Ilkley tomorrow morning but will be logging on to catch up when I can from my mum's.
