LG&T I know its not ideal for LO's but a bit of fizzy lemonade can sometimes help sickness. My neighbour's daughter's been ill for the past two days, constantly throwing up and screaming in pain. She was unable to keep anything down until she had a small glass. The poor thing was getting so dehydrated but it seemed to do the trick.
E is fine, had today off as he had a really bad coughing fit at breakfast and I didnt think it was worth the risk of sending him only to be called in to pick him up a couple of hours later. That and the fact both DH and I had been up all night with A as well as it being D's 1st birthday, it all contributed to the decision lol. Poor A has got what E had but seems 10x worse. All night she was either wimpering or breathing really oddly, going from fast shallow breaths to stopping altogether for a few heart stopping seconds then starting with the fast breathing again. Every time there was a long gap in her breathing we both sat up with a start. She was burning up too. Shes still not right, still burning up, complaining of stomach ache etc. D isnt too bad, coughing a bit but thats it luckily. Im sure the damp throughout the flat isnt helping them but the council seem to think that if they drag things out it will magically disappear.
Talking of the bloody council I have to start my nagging campaign again. Before Christmas I was seeing my housing officer every week, checking up on what was going on but what with Christmas and that lovely snow we had, i havent been to annoy see him for a while. We are supposed to be top priority to be moved, 6 of us in a 2 bed flat (4 of us in one room) is severe overcrowding plus the damp in every room. Since we were told that though I have heard of two other families who were supposed to be less in need of rehousing, being moved. One of them was that horrible boy that has made J's life hell. They were a horrible family, always annoying the neighbours yet they've got a lovely house now and the dad made sure the council put in a new kitchen, bathroom, painted it etc before he would move in. I was glad to see the back of them but at the same time im angry, perhaps if my kids were little shits and I wasnt so nice we would be living in luxury now
D had a lovely birthday even though he didnt really know what all the fuss was about. Due to everyone feeling a bit rough or knackered we just had a small tea for my parents and sister, not the party involving all the neighbours as I had previously planned but it was still nice. My house looked like a bombs hit it though, toys everywhere. Im sure they played with everything they own tonight. The older ones cleared up their mess but by the time everyone left I just wanted to get the kiddies in bed. Ive tidied up most of it but will do a proper job in the morning
Have a lovely wedding Jam and I will be sure to raise a glass to you both on Friday, good excuse to buy a bottle of wine/bacardi/anything alcoholic in fact Cant let the occassion go by without a toast to the happy couple lol
