I suspect that is not the most up-to-date list.

Shit Nutty, that is so scary, I hope you are okay . Big ((((()))))) to you, and your family. Pacemaker insertions are pretty routine these days, and the treatment for irregular heart rhythms is much better nowadays than it would have been when your Mum was with us. I know it's hard, but try not to worry. It is so hard when the person who is supposed to be big and strong and look after you suddenly becomes poorly. Thinking of you. 2010 will still be your year.

WhatFreshHellIsThis · 06/01/2010 21:23

IE crashed

stoopid Microsoft

Nutts that's rubbish about your bro. Is he anywhere nearby you can visit?

Bicnod · 06/01/2010 21:29

Oh Nutty that's terrible sending huge hugs. Are you able to go and see him? x x

but i bet someone will have a window open - i never win the thread

PuzzleRocks · 06/01/2010 21:31

Oh Nutty darling, I wish I could help in some way. I know it's not much comfort but Gui is right. Do you know how long he may have to wait?

AuldAlliance · 06/01/2010 21:36

oh nutty, hope you are OK. Fingers and toes crossed.

Night night all.

WhatFreshHellIsThis · 06/01/2010 21:36

Don't be fooled, Puzzle, that house is quite far outside Bristol and the bathrooms really were quite something to behold.

In Bristol itself, prices are almost as bad as in London.

SnowyBoff · 06/01/2010 21:42

Sorry to hear that, Nutts. I hope they manage to sort him out.

ZuluWarrior · 06/01/2010 21:59

FFS!!! I seriously need to give up work to keep up with you lot. No time to catch up now except to say sorry about your brother Nutts. A collapse and pacemaker does not equal a heart attack so try not to worry too much. Difficult I know .

See yous all later xxx

bronze · 06/01/2010 22:02

I hope hes ok Nutts

dawntigga · 06/01/2010 22:14

Bugger I still keep reading that as tectonic!!!!!

nutts sorry to hear about your brother.

WFH forgive my very personal question and tell me to mind my own business (myob) if you'd like but why are you renting?

NuttyTaff · 06/01/2010 23:18

thanks girls he's in cardiff so i will be going there as soon as i can, hopefully this weekend.Zulu - it was a heart attack that caused him to collapse in the first place hence the need for the hospital and pacemaker.he's been in hospital since the day before crimbo eve, he's hoping that they will sort it all out by the end of next week so he can go home, apparently once its done he can go home the next day so thats a good thing.

Bicnod · 07/01/2010 07:30

Nutty - really glad you can get to see him this weekend. Will your other brother be there too? Fingers crossed he gets the pacemaker fitted soon so he can go home. Does he have someone to look after him once he's been discharged from hospital?

Gui

Tigga - I can very very very much relate to the lack of sleep. Last night O was up at:

21.45, 22.50, 23.45, 01.10 and he's been up for the day since 05.00

It's amazing how being beyond knackered can colour your enjoyment of life - not really up for being a mummy today just want to sleep oh well, will attempt some kip when (if) O goes down for a nap later...

AuldAlliance · 07/01/2010 08:06

Morning.

Well, A slept in his usual style (i.e. waking twice), but DS1 is going through a phase of having nightmares.
"I try not to think about scary things, Mummy, but I can't help it. It's like eating my bogies. I do my best not to, but really I can't help it."
So I stayed in his room from 4:30 to 5, when A woke, then went to my room to feed A. I had just drifted back to sleep when DS1 appeared by my bed in tears, and I let him climb in. He then didn't go back to sleep till 6, so neither did I. Up again at 6:45 to shower, etc.

BUT, I am catching up on e-mails and MN while eating a pain au chocolat. From the nicest bakers in town. And we have heating, which is good news as we are on alerte orange for snow this evening.

A is much better, but now has an evil chesty cough. The CM has orders to call me if needed. I have a student coming round this morning, whom I stupidly agreed to help prepare her teacher's exams. And a mountain of work. Kick me off here if you see me!

gingersarah · 07/01/2010 09:08

Nutty, sending good thoughts to you and your brother.

Bicnod - sympathies - V was awake a lot last night, I think she is sickening for something, or maybe teething, or both - but very unhappy. Today I am schleeepy.

Puzzle - sorry to hear about the sickness. Get well wishes to your poorly little girl.

Auld - the pain au chocolat! At last! Formidable. Your ds1 sounds like a lovely little person.

PuzzleRocks · 07/01/2010 09:14

Oh Bicnod, I feel your pain, i'm mainlining coffee. Fingers crossed O takes a lengthy nap.

Auld - That made me laugh and gag at the same time.
Now get out of here.

PuzzleRocks · 07/01/2010 09:15

Thanks Ginger.

dawntigga · 07/01/2010 09:23

Auld watch out BA doesn't see you stuffing your face eating that, she'll be down to weigh you

?
Is it BA?

PuzzleRocks · 07/01/2010 10:15

Gui - I wrote that thread entry ages before I posted and before the battle commenced so was a fluke. Yes, you have won. .

Feierabend · 07/01/2010 10:27

WFH what are you OMGing about?

Nutty sorry to hear about your brother, I hope he'll be okay x

Boo again for bad nights.

Bicnod · 07/01/2010 10:40

Just managed to get half an hour's kip so feeling slightly less zombie-fied

Fei I've given up chocolate, biscuits and cake for January in a bid to break the addiction now I don't have the excuse of breastfeeding anymore - how depressing is that?

I just posted on the Jo Frost thread with a question about O's sleep - that is truly a sign of desperate times.

Auld, hope the evil cough clears up soon

Puzzle - how is Ellen today?

Fei - how are your girls? Has H had her jab?

WFH - WHAT?????
