Hello
WFH - Brilliant news. I cannot imagine how tough this has been for you and your family. I'm so pleased for you.
It has been a bit hectic here. llen was admitted to hospital last Thursday night. Same thing as before. She is much better now but still has a chesty cough.
All of us have been struggling with colds.
I stayed overnight with Ellen while DH stayed at home with Holly. As she has always been fed through the night I was expecting him to have a tough time but she woke only once and accepted a beaker of cows milk before going straight back to sleep.
Ginger - That's awful about your friend. DH and I remarked to each other that`whilst it is horrible to see Ellen unwell, and a drag to keep going up to the hospital, we try to look at it from the perspective that we are lucky to be taking her home again all fixed.
Surprise - How are you managing without the meds?
Great news about DS1's school. We are waiting to hear about September nursery places for Ellen.
When is your holiday?
Kaz - How did the party go?
Good luck with job hunting.
Bicnod - Sorry to hear about your Grandmother.
TTC? How exciting. Reading that made me feel broody. Oh dear.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I bought a clearblue digital ovulation predictor thingy when I was trying for Holly. Worked first time.
You are off to Cornwall again. Have a great time.
Ooh, O is going to model. How gorgeous. Keep us updated. I was in a commercial when I was 3. Twas never shown here though. It was for
an Austrian brancd. Or Dutch. Can never remember. I do remember getting about £70 (a fortune in 1980). I bought myself a pair of boots like monkey, a yellow fluffy all-in-one pajama with feet, and banked the rest.
My dog was in a jacobs club ad, my Mum's foot in a flymo ad, and my elder sister was in an episode of The Professionals. My Dad used to work in the industry so we got to do stuff like that ocassionally.
I am definitely up for an April meet. The only days that are no good are Friday 16th (Holly's birthday) and Friday 23rd (Ellen's).
I think I could manage to haul my arse to Richmond.
Ok, I just had a quick peek at Fei's AIBU. Holy moly.
King - How are your ladybirds?
Wildrumpus - What made you pick this name? For some reason it conjures images of cowgirls eating steak for me.
WFH - How did Orbit settle into nursery?
Zulu - I could throttle you for the "middle-aged frump" remark. You are a year younger than me.
"probably have to out myself as a doctor now" Don't worry, we don't mind. It's not like you are a traffic warden or an estate agent.
Schulte - Ysabelle? Were people kind?
Tigga - Holly is doing a, b, and c. Not many words though, just mama, baba (Papa), hello, byebye. I do think that's quite early though. I certainly wouldn't be worrying yet if cub isn't. I think Schulte's pretty spot on with those timelines.
MrsA - Congrats to your sister.
