June 07.....Petulance, Potties and Poo in random Places

[LatinDAISYcal]

sounds like you need to see your GP Daisy....there are other things? What about the coil? I think its fab (never thought I'd hear myself say that!!)

its probably your age

lol at the cross post norty

I had slushy stuff going on in my gall bladder (there were only one or two small stones and the rest was just muck) which is why it was taking so long to clear and giving me days and days of pain and illness. Sounds like your mum had the illness bit but without the pain. Horrible either way.

re the cake foxy, I think you have enough going on with the move and the wedding to even consider a cake. I bought mine in asda and decorated it myself; got some flower sprays from the florist to match my bouquet (which we gave to my aunties as a keepsake) and some co-ordinating ribbon and it looked fab. the cake wasn't the best, but as I wasn't eating it....... check out waitrose and sainsbos as well...but do test the cake before buying! the asda one was really dry and crumbly, apparently!

oh, but not lolling about it being my age

hello daisy
name changed because i sold a load of stuff on another forum 6 months ago (during postal strikes) and alot of it didnt get there. i ended up refunding nearly everyone i sold too and claiming back off royal mail.
THEN this week someone has come on here (not to board i sold on) and claimed that an item i was selling on here was the same one i had sold to her six months ago and i was a fraud. (which it wasnt as it was an item i had rather a few of) now i hadnt received any emails off this woman to say she hadnt had her item, only one a few weeks after buying because i was late posting it.
anyway it all got very public and nasty, so i have namechanged to stop my account on the other board being linked to my account on here.

sorry to hear about ur bad week, my mum was a shouty 'due on' mum and we all understood and steered clear for the worst of it. we still loved her

CC - you've got mail

Hi Daisy, missed you - hope you are well (except for being post-menstrual monster mummy). Get a coil and have done with pesky periods!

I'm off to bed.

Night x

bugger, typed loads and then MN crashed when I hit post.

missed you too daisy - don't know that I'll make it over tomorrow (poorly DS2), so can we put it on hold again? I have a feeling there'll be other chances.

Had v v stressy morning Jamlet would not let me put a nappy on her. After 15 mins I got one on and she promptly pulled it off again! I was SO close to smacking her wrist . But I didn't. But DH saw I almost did and got cross about that. I spent another 10 mins and then he sepent another 10 before we got a nappy on her . Not good on a work morning.

Am a bit confused re my mother's pain or lack of. Dad said she had no pain, but when I spoke to her since she got home and mentioned that some of you have had gb out and mentioned the pain you had, she said, yes she would rather have had a baby. I didn't like to say "oh but Dad said you had no pain" but I am confused. A wee chat with my sister I think. Anyway Mum had a load of stones and a load of pus apparently and she is going in on Feb 10th to have it cleaned out again and then removed (or that's what I understood from what she said anyway.)

do you think your mum didn't want your Dad to know about the pain she was in? Parents are funny things if mine are anything to go by

sorry about jamlet, it's difficult when they start asserting themselves.

oh jammy we have mornings like that, trying to get kids ready to get out the door can be bloody hard sometimes.

ellen finally gone back into pants again. only took 6 months seems that sending her to a creche where alot of the other kids do not still wear nappies, and pointing it out to her, has worked evil mummy!

just wanted to say that thomas has been an angel today. its rare and so deserves recording!

where is everyone eh? no soaps on, and u cant ALL be watching the television awards?

ah yes i was going to say the same. i often dont tell michael how much pain im in, i dont want to scare him!

Thanks CC and Ria.

After Jamlet's nap I asked her if she wanted to wear nappy or pants. She said pants. I asked her if lots of her friends at nursery wore pants and did she want to be like them. She said yes. We then had 2 dry hours (despite lots of little "sits") and then just as she was picking abook for me to read to her on the potty she weed on the carpet But it was just one accident all afternoon - not her fault that statistics read 100% accident rate!

My Dad is going to have this procedure to try to fix his heart and thus stop the medication 4 month waiting list, but they'll do it. 80% success rate, if it fails they will try again and if that fails he has to stay on the meds.

that sounds good for your Dad jammy and well done to jamlet for knowing what she wants and being willing to fight for it (not so good for you, but at least she wasn't being naughty for the sake of it)

I have been very naughty today, and left baggins and poorly DS2 with my parents while I went with DH to the hospital. It was FANTASTIC to be out with no kids. Wish we'd had time to savour it and go somewhere nice for lunch and a walk etc. (I didn't realise quite how poorly DS2 felt when I left him though, he is worse today than he has been). Anyway, good news for DH. No major surgery (fingers crossed). He has had 2 injections today, cortisone and an anti-inflammatory I think. He is to come off his painkillers for a month, and hopefully the whole problem is the bicep catching on the shoulder joint, and this can be rectified with a day-case keyhole op, and a couple of days rest. We're back on the 17th Feb daisy, if you're about?

sadly he got a call to go to work (again) tonight, so we aren't celebrating yet.

baggins and DS2 been in bed since before 7.30. I am lost.

Sounds good for your DH Ria And don't feel bad - DS2 was probably better with his grandparents than out and about if unwell. Glad you had a good time.

thats good news about ur DH, hope he heals quickly and things get back to normal for you

my nappies came today so been playing with them all morning.. shame one of the things i ordered was for ellen as shes PTing atm, but she can use it at night

thomas got his outpaitents appointmeant for his toungue tie through this morning. so thats good, not till middle of next month but at least we have the appointment now.

DH also got a letter about his op, its got to be a full open procedure and its 50/50 whether he will loose the kidney or not
he did joke that i can have a few more babies now incase he needs a kidney which made me lol!

im sure jamlet will get there jammy, i didnt think ellen was ever going to train (having gone from FT pants to FT nappies since arrival of charlie) but shes is getting there, only one accident, and two wees and a poo in the potty today so far.

am paying for my day of frivolity

Just seen your FB status Ria Sorry. But you are not "paying", it's just one of these things.

Not sure if Jamlet does know what she wants Asked her this morning if she wanted nappy (yes) or pants (yes). She ended up settling on pants. 4 hours later, I KNEW she must need a wee simply by the time that had passed (and she had been drinking milk and juice) and she was on and off the potty every minute but never sat for more than 15 seconds. Then of course just when I thought, well short of superglueing her there I can't MAKE her sit until she's been (had tried bribery, being stern, reading books, putting the TV on etc etc etc) and didn't make her "try" everytime I saw her jiffling, she did a HUGE HUGE wee on the sofa . Tried not to get angry with her, but I was so frustrated. I'd been really stressed as the morning wore on knowing that she would need to go sooner or later and wondering if she would actually tell me or get on the potty in time. Loads of times she had said she wanted a wee and sat and then just got up again grinning. Aaaahhhh!!!

ria and jammy

i for once am coping this morning, Dh gone to uni for the day and i have all three here, AND PT ellen.
not lost it with them yet, here hoping we have a good day

Hope your afternoon continued well CC. Mine improved. After her nap Jamlet insisted she did want pants on again (put her in nappy for nap) and after an hour and half she did a wee in the potty - while I was out of the rrom (she was sitting on it when I left) - and got up and pulled her pants up by herself So we printed a reward chart and filled it in, then rang Daddy and made a big thing about it with lots of praise and she had a choc button after tea as a reward.

well done jamlet!

yay for jamlet

Hello chaps

Thought I'd better tell you before you read it elsewhere - I'm finally sprogged up! Just found out yesterday so very early on.

Hope you are all ok

Wow Bumper, congratulations!

Brilliant news! Congratulations

Thanks guys, really nervous this time round. I guess I have heard many more tales of things going wrong since DD so I'm a bit more wary.

The second time round is definately more frightening. We have learnt so much and know what pain really is.....

where have you been hiding anyway?
