WELL WISHES

Steaky, Reese had a head cold that passed on to me but all I suffered from was the sore throat. I sipped only cold beverages for the duration and that seemed to work nicely. It last (for me) a grand total of three days.

Poor DD been sick/diarrhoea three times already tonight I've run out of sheets and running out of PJs. Poor kid, I've had to put a nappy on her to keep the washing down Off to sleep on her floor and hopefully not get splattered in puke. Why didn't I realise this was happening and stop drinking the wine before I got more than half way down the bottle

Hope you all get better nights than this

HP I will be up for a little while longer if you need moral support.

Morning

5 hr drive up here as Dh insisting on stopping so we hit Manchester just before 5pm . DD1's went to bed very well and DD1 has been a diamond all night. DD2 on the other hand, not. Woke at 3.15 and took me an hour to get back to sleep (DH snoring throughout ). Then she woke again at 5.30 so i gave up. Luckily our hostess woke to take the dog out for a wee at 6 so i sneakily asked if i could borrow the pooter

Hotter hope your night quietened down. It's horrid when they are ill and can't do anything to help

ts DD2 sounds like a little poppet sorting all her own needs out . Wish mine would sort her sleeping needs out, ie: lie down, turn over, muzzy in, sleep. Really not that difficult one would have thought

steaky soup sounds yummy . Hope you had a quiter one too

poppy i too have been promised a lie in tomorrow. WHen i asked DH if he would get up this morning, he informed me he had only come to bed at 2.30 am so, No. Bet she sleeps till 7.30 tomorrow

VG hope you had a lovely evening out

no1 wow that was a long sleep from your DC's . What had you done to them?

Re shed deliveries i still have no clue as to why he was delivering in the middle of the night. IHe cam from Nottingham so i guess he was being clever and avoiding the horrific M6 traffic on a Friday afternoon. Unlike us.

Although just realised you probably wouldn't go on the M6 going to Birmingham

Think i need more tea........

Or even Nottingham FFS. Of course you would need it for Birmingham. ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHH

dizzy i am obviously a complete loon atm so keeping manically busy and out of the way might be a sensible plan

I am getting into this TS styleeeee of posting. Rather fun.

Might even try some hats on

Does this one suit? Or am i looking a bit Dale Winton tantastic?

this does look rather rude to me, although more like Scream so i guess quite halloweeny

Ok, i'll keep this one on and go and get you lovelies some brekker

Morning Sazz

Just a quick pop on to say hi and hope all littles are well again soon.

DH has his big Titanic sale today so we will be madly busy but am strangely looking forward to the chaos.

TS thanks for the advice and optimism but I couldn't possibly only drink cold drinks for three days - I would quite possibly stop functioning without tea on demand.

I was one of those kids that always had tonsilitis when I was little. So my sore throats are never short affairs. I reassure myself that my tonsils are doing their job so I don't get anything worse.

oops thanks for my gift, tis purty.

Once she was finally asleep a good night from DD. Woke once at around 2 but just needed a cuddle and she went to sleep on my lap. I think it might have been too bunged up and needed to be upright for a bit. IYSWIM.

Woke for the day at 6.30 With both eyes and nose crusted up. nice.
Haven't managed to wrestle the eye drops into her yet.
She is happily posting sutanas through the grill of the vent brick in the wall.

Where's Sazz with the brekker?

Here

Sorry, burnt your toast

Morning.. burnt toast lovely ..

Hope you had a better night hotter your dd managed to get some sleep.. my dd1 had that a few weeks ago, nasty as it was she was already on the mend by the morning.. tho agree with steaky she got a horendous cold/cough after her d/v and still has it now ...

Glad you got up north safely sazz and enjoy your meet up ...

well i cannot remember when both my two have slept the night thru ].. dd1 had a nightmare bless her at 10pm and ended in with me.. que dd2 to wake up til 1am.. wtf... no idea why, just keep thinking that the colds they have are affecting their sleep??

on a good point dh who has been out 4 times this week, came home early from the pub to help!!!!

waves to everyone else xxx

Steaky - tis my pleasure - Sorry I couldn't make it a real one! Did you appreciate the Tena Lady box it arrived in DH thought it was very amusing I on the other hand hadn't noticed until it he mentioned it.

DH just told me work starts an hour later today so DD is watching Timmy time and I am here tidying.

DDD was awake every 20mins from 2.58 to 4.28 so I may be of no use today when it comes to numbers.

Bacon rolls on offer here, and hot fresh from the oven sausage rolls too. is how they are making me feel.

Thanks for the toast saz wotcha Loti. oops yes the packaging did make me laugh.

DD headbutting random things. Drives me potty but doesn't set my teeth on edge as much as when she trys to gnaw the handbasin in the bathroom.

DD2 spent ages headbutting a radiator yesterday and laughing hysterically after she discovered that it made a nice angelus bell type sound.

Is dh working today or not? We await the pronouncement ...

Urgh morning. our keyboar is broken. I think actually that it was p who signe the eath warrant on it
Night from hell here. I completely lost it. Just got so fe up of always getting up at night an NEVER EVER getting any help. So I rante quite a lot last night. But still was awake till about 5am I think, then woken at 6, etc I'm sure you get the iea. He was just screaming. I went on strike at one point, P trie for about two minutes, then got back into be grumping. Quite funny as he's always saying he woul cope fine with oing nights blah blah I ' swap with you in a heartbeat crap he spouts.
Oh an I have a sore thumb, because I switche on a light with a little too much temper last night. It's all bruise hope I haven't actually one any amage.
Sorry for other rough nights on here. You have my sympathy but I'm saving all my pity for myself
Oh an Steaky hope Izzy's improving

wini and for you.
Can you get out by yourself for a bit today for a restorative coffee and cake and window shop? I find shopping for windows very restorative. [crap joke emoticon]

I just thought - it is that competitive attitude of dps that bugs in such situations. That they could do it better and put a value judgement on what you are doing and all you want is for them to help.

grrr stoopid boys.
