Happy 2010 everyone! Cast your mind back to this time last year... [soppy]

Too much wine - excuse for thread title should it be shite rubbish when I read it tomorrow. Thought it was time to wave goodbye to the festive one, although perhaps we should have waited for epiphany?

morning all. DD didn't want to sleep with me thank god, so daddy got that pleasure. She has this thing where she likes to wrap her legs around you and it means you can't sleep in any kind of comfy fashion. Anyhow. Got up this morning to find DD with tummy ache but no temp, and DP with tummy ache and feeling sick (even he said I've got man flu need to go to bed). So kept DS off nursery too, just to be sure and have a hatrick of grumpy people here. Books, thanks for all the advice last night, hate making all those decisions on my own as I end up dithering!

Lenni, glad party went well. Dog, sorry you are ill. Right. Off to look after my dependents.

Books, next time you go awol, list the thread! If its that good... share. I ended up debating Gnocchi for heavens sake!

Oh no 120 a house full of poorliness is not good. Hope they all get well soon.
Was up at 4am with S as he was screaming. I picked him up and he wouldn't stop and he was making this horrible noise. Like a wheeze but more from his throat than chest. He only calmed down when we gave him some milk but then refused to sleep so dh eventually got up with him at 530. He was in our bed just cuddling me quite happily saying da da ma ma and pulling my hair. Quite sweet to start but after an hour really annoying. He seems fine this morning though very snotty so wondering if it was a build up of that. He vomited in his bed the night before and was awake for an hour so sitting at work like a zombie now....
S is on losec or omeprazole I think is its proper name. Gaviscon did nothing for him. He is also on neocate formula or as tree calls it foulula which is an ace description.
Lenni glad party went well. Get those christmas decs down now! It is very bad luck.
Dog no fun being ill when you are preggers as no hard drugs to make you feel better. Not good that all the kids are home too. Film all snuggled on the sofa?
Lol at boys in tights. I kiss both my boys feet hundreds of times a day as I love them and hate to hide them in socks. Have given in in this weather though and I think they look more grown up in socks for some reason. My MIL bought S some Geox the other day and they are very cute.
Work is boring and I have eaten all my lunch and snacks already.

Result. Colleague just pulled out some fizzy cola bottles.
Books I had a proud mn moment as I posted on that thread and someone else said they agreed with my post!
S has had the swine flu jab as he has a hole in his heart. Debated over it for an age and did lots of research but went for it. He was fine. Actually ! You have just reminded me it comes in two doses and need to book second one

Oh Dog, that's awful, I can't believe nobody stopped, maybe they didn't realise. I hope you guys are all ok, I remember our kitten dying when I was about 5 and it was awful Big hugs to you and all the doglets.

120, hope your clan are feeling better and on the orad to recovery.

Tree thats wonderful news, what fab eggs you have.

DS wears tights all the time too, he has been known to wear pink ones with hearts on too he's very in touch with his feminine side.

kid are crying...arghh

elkiedee · 11/01/2010 17:36

Dog, very sorry about Rosa.

Guess the song?

Well...we have news from Great Ormond Street, they stillhaven't had confirmation from the Marsden but seem pretty certain his tumour is a 'epitheloid haemangioendothelioma' . It is a borderline tumour on the spectrum of tumours, somewhere between malignant and benign, but will probably keep growing untreated. The DR is waiting to hear what the two surgeons involved think, but thinks it is too large to successfully remove in one go and is proposing (tentatively) a course of 'Interferon' and low dose chemotherapy over a number of months, followed by surgery. They won't act until they have confirmation from the Marsden. So hopefully we will be seeing them again some time next week to discuss the way forward. This is pretty much what we were expecting and its actually a relief to have a clearer idea of what is going on and a sense of something actually happening.

Tree ...bare necessities??? he he...I love young childrens' word interpretation.

Dog, how is everyone doing?

120cms · 11/01/2010 19:28

Dog, I'm really sorry to hear about Rosa. Kittens are just different in my opnion and I still mourn the one I lost 15 years ago.

All still taking regular calpol/ibuprofen every two hours here. Only upside is that they are in bed by 7.30 so I can m'net work.

Congrats tree, really glad your egg is still nestling happily.

I had a watercolour course this afternoon. Twas marvellous (left the sick to amuse each other for a few hours).

treedelivery · 11/01/2010 19:56

Wow HKZ. That is news then. SO it wil need treatment and then surgery. Which you had got used to expecting. Wow. Well I'd be a bit of jelly on the floor and I am filled with respect for your positive state of mind and thought processes. Any clue as to the number of months - or wil that depend on the response and be unpredictable?

Thank God you went to the GP with it. Good on you. Poor wee man. Poor all of you.

It's really pants Dog. I hope the dc's are ok.

120 at watercolour, although you can keep the lurgy I really hope they sleep it off and bounce back soon.

xpost HZ, glad you at least have a course of action. Poor little J. He has been so stoic!

PatTheHammer · 11/01/2010 20:52

Dog- so at your post about Rosa, so nice of your neighbour to stroke her and look after her. It will be hard for the other one, he will look for her for a good while yet. he may take to a companion but sthere is an age where they get funny over this. So sad for Arlo and Beth, it is really difficult for them to understand. DD would have no concept, she just thinks that animals go to sleep when they get old (like my Mum's cat!).

Tree- fab news on the scan!

HZ- Well, you have the news and at least you no longer feel there is inaction. I am with tree on this one, you are remarkably calm and level-headed on this. Much love to all of you and little J x

Lenni- Glad party went well. The list of broken stuff in this house is reaching epic proportions too, had to cook the roast yesterday with just the top oven!!

Gumps- Work boring here today and v.scary driving up the hill!! Only Y11 in so they had 2 hours of science revision to makeup for last week. Then we shovelled snow for tomorrow when all pupils back, ruddy freezing!

Books- Mine are having the jab tomorrow afternoon.

120- glad DD feels better but not so good that everyone else poorly.

Well, off for a bath and bed. feel absolutely worn out, actually dozed off earlier when the DC's were playing in the playroom. And its only the start of term...............Ho-hum!

120cms · 11/01/2010 21:33

got very excited and have posted a couple of my first watercolours to my profile!

am exhausted now. off to do the meds then bed. night all. sounds like we are all done in on the thread! just hoping I can pack at least a few of my lot off somewhere tomorrow.

PatTheHammer · 11/01/2010 21:39

120- I likey, likey! You are a very talented lady. I am so as I have always lots of creative ideas etc yet am pants at recreating them and cannot draw/paint for toffee!
p.s When are you taking comissions I would much like a monkey for my living room! (saddo that studied lots of primatology at uni)

treedelivery · 11/01/2010 22:02

Wow 120, they are really interesting and good! I was thinking more litle cottages along a sea shore type thing.

Your first commission too.

moosemama · 11/01/2010 22:19

Just a whistle stop visit. Am up to my eyes in it, meeting myself coming back and seemingly achieving very little.

Dog, so sorry to hear your sad news. Poor little Rosa. What lovely neighbours you have, really touching with the flowers and everything. Big hugs to you all.

HKZ, glad you finally got some news, I'm another one in awe of how calm and in control you are, but understand what you mean when you say it feels better to have a clearer picture and something actually being done. So sorry the news wasn't better, I was keeping everything crossed for an easy treatment for you and him. Will keep everything crossed for your meeting next week.

Tree, great news about the scan!

Right, I think I might crawl off to my bed now, I am so exhausted and my ribs are giving me gip after all the cleaning and decorating I've been doing. Apologies to anyone I've missed, will try and catch up on the thread properly tomorrow.

MsSparkle · 11/01/2010 23:59
