[SuperSoph73]

Hey all. Sal Would be great to see you IRL. LadyBee - it would be great to have you rabble running round .... should really check with me mum first though

Well, was at home with Sam on Thurs & Fri & he managed to keep everything down. His skin was on fire though, you could have fried eggs on his face , but the weird thing was that he didn't have a temperature. Anyhoo, like I say - 2 days & all his food down. Then on Sat lunch came straight back up again, yesterday everything stayed down!!! However, I think I know what it is. Thurs & Fri there was just the 2 of us in the house & we were just completely chilled out - no excitement, nothing. Saturday, with all of us in the house, which means more noise, more stuff to get excited about he throws up. So I think that the throwing up is actually caused by the simple fact that he's over-stimulated.

Did that make any sense at all?

Oh & Happy Belated Birthday to George

[MisSalLaneous]

Well chipmonkey, I got in suit, but only with the help of very very very magic knickers. Will hear re interview tomorrow - I hope I get it, as I got on really well with the guy interviewing me. It's rather difficult applying for part-time roles - I keep coming across the "why would you want to do a more junior role" question. I understand the fear (that someone might get bored and leave after a month), but just for once I'd like a job where I don't have to work all hours and have a near nervous breakdown every second week, where I can come home in a cheerful mood and play with R, and where I can have days "off" with him... Hey ho, will see how it goes.

Soph - noooooo, you need to tell everyone that this is your "English house - for summer here, you know". Hide your mom in the broom cupboard if needs be.

Re little Sam - poor thing. It is good that you've identified what makes him feel so ill, and I hope you find a way to help him relax / calm down soon.

Scorps, are you around? How are you feeling?

[ThePFJ]

Hello everyone,

An August meet up sounds great. Would love to come, I'll know nearer the time if I can definately come or not. Depends where it will be more than anything else.

Still very sore from my ectopic, stitches are being horrible again today. I forgot just how long those bloody things take to go away and dissolve!!!

How is everyone? Are we all stocked up on mini-eggs yet?

[SuperSoph73]

Of course dahlink, that's what I meant ... ones mater is only there to polish the silver

Fingers crossed for the job

PFJ - please don't mention mini eggs as I absolutely luuurrrvvve them & guess what ... you can't get them here, aaarrgghhhh!!

[MisSalLaneous]

Thanks Soph.

Oh dear PFJ, hope it gets better soon.

Hmm, mini-eggs... Well, I had some. I don't any more. See previous post of ill-fitting suits.

[ThePFJ]

[SuperSoph73]

Sorry PFJ forgot to say sorry to hear you're feeling a bit sore. Hope it heals up soon.

It's the last week of term - yay Which also means that I get to go home at 3.35pm every day this week (depending on DH). Unfortunately for DH it's Parent's Evening tonight until 7pm. Luckily for me and DS1 a colleague of mine is staying till 3.35pm and she's going to drop us home - yay If she hadn't I would have had to put the pushchair on the school bus, get off at the next town along from our village, get a taxi to the village, pick Sam up from nursery, then walk home ... really didn't fancy that one

Oh & we also can't get creme eggs here either .... am really pouting now

[MisSalLaneous]

Soph, do you really think all that sunshine is worth no eggs??? Mind you, creme eggs are sickeningly sweet, so perhaps sunshine better after all...

[SuperSoph73]

Difficult call that one Sal However, as the weather is being quite nice at the mo I suppose I could agree with that at the moment.

Anyway, getting ready to go now - yippee. See y'all tomorrow

[ThePFJ]

Creme Eggs are sickly sweet... I normally have to break the top off 'em, slowly dig out the fondant and then later eat the chocolate shell bit by bit. People writhe with agony watching how long it takes me to eat one, especially when they themselves wolfed theirs down in seconds flat!

Could do with some sunshine over here Soph, you should share some out over here and we'll send you mini-eggs!!

[chipmonkey]

Oh dear, Soph, I was completely unaware that you had such a deprived life!

Not feeling v. well. Decided I was drinking too much coffee so went off it cold turkey. Cue splitting headache this morning. For which I drank 3 cups of coffee in quick succession which made it better for a while but now it is worse again. I do this every time! Why don't I learn?

Fingers crossed you get the job, Sal!

Poor PFJ. Hope your stitches heal soon, it sounds very sore!

[MisSalLaneous]

Hahahaha chipmonkey! Coffee addiction is evil (says she who drinks at least 5 - on a good day!) About once a year I go cold turkey. Try from a Thursday night. You'll feel rubbish by Friday night, ready to kill someone (possibly by falling asleep on them) by Saturday, and starting to feel good by Sunday. You'll be fine and actually feel better from Monday. 3 day rule.

For some stupid, stupid reason, I normally start drinking it in vast quantities after a month though.

Oh yes, and when you go off, you need to replace it with something strong tasting but hot - won't help with the caffeine withdrawal, but does with the habit. I find fresh mint tea with a bit of sugar works the best.

[ThePFJ]

I hate coffee.

I do however have a large store of caffiene pills that keep me going though most days!!!

If I don't have any... I buy cadburys hot chocolate and put squirty whipped cream on the top. Yummy.

[chipmonkey]

Now, you see, Sal fresh mint tea was going to be my coffee replacment but now PFJ has given me that idea for hot chocolate with whipped cream which sounds way more appealing!
Don't think it will fit in with my Weightwatchers plan though. I am bursting out of my clothes but I refuse to go up a size, it is going to be a downward spiral all the way, I am determined!

[SuperSoph73]

Morning.

Exactly chipmonkey it's a strain living here, don't ya know. No-one appreciates how much I have to suffer, but I'll struggle through How are you feeling today?

PFJ - I'll definately send you some sunshine if you're going to send out eggs, but I'd have to sit far far away from you if you're going to eat them that slow

I'm now going to go & print off my own birthday card for the boys to sign as my DH won't even have thought about it

[EllieG]

Wotcha people!

Sorry I dissappeared again - just as I had sorted the work 'puter Molly got chicken pox, so am at home. Have rigged up home computer so that if I don't move too much I can use it, so no one breathe....

Otherwise, all a OK - crappy few days as Mol really poorly but she is better today - asked her what she wanted to eat and she said 'Chocolate cake Mummy!' so think she's on the mend! She's clearly a chip off the old block, am so proud

soph - how is Sam today?

knitter - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GEORGE! Sorry is belated - did he have a nice time?

scorps - you are lovely and not worthless at all. How are you feeling now?

[EllieG]

I had a dodgy dream about Justin Fletcher last night. Not, thankfully while he was dressed up as Mr Tumble, but still is concerning.

[SuperSoph73]

Oh Ellie, you've just made me burst out laughing .... fortunately there is only 1 student in here this afternoon Poor Molly though, hope she feels better soon.

Sam was OK yesterday, didn't bring anything up at all. He just doesn't seem to be able to shift the phlegm (sp?) off his chest though. Back to the docs tomorrow as she wants to see him again to check how he's doing. Fingers crossed & all that.

[EllieG]

Poor little man, hope it clears soon. Can he take anything to loosen it a bit?

Have just spent 20 mins googling Justin Fletcher to see if he is married. I am SO SAD.

Am off to go do some housework while Mol finishes her nap in effort to make myself feel less pathetic.

[SuperSoph73]

Unfortunately we have been through everything to try and shift it and nothing seems to be working. I just don't want him to end up in hospital again with pneumonia .....

Anyway, hope your housework's going smoothly LOL. Am off to tidy up now & go home.

xxxxxx

[MisSalLaneous]

Nooooo Ellie, noooooo! That's just wrong. He's Mr Tumble.

Poor Mol and Sam. Hoping for your and their sakes it gets better soon.

Soph, you're prob doing it anyway with the physio, but in case not, would "cupping" ("hitting" him on the back with your hands cupped) help? You don't have to do it hard, and with R it's sometimes the only thing that helps the phlegm shift. Mind you, he then often vomits, but at least improves once everything out, and it stops it from developing into full blown bronchiolitis again.

Ooh, and I just heard I got the job! I start next week! Whoo hoooo. Mondays and Tuesdays at home, and office (but normal hours - 9 to 5 only) Wed to Fri.

[ThePFJ]

Congrats MisSalLaneous!!

Ellie - Mr tumble???!! Nooooooooooooooooo
I dreamt I woke up next to Michael Keaten in bed the other night....

SuperSoph - Happy Birthday... shame we often end up doing our own bday cards isnt it? But I end up doing stuff like that too....

[MisSalLaneous]

Soph, sorry, is it your birthday today? Happy birthday! Sorry, have been so self-involved these last couple of days.

Thanks PFJ. And call me Sal, else I get nervous and wait for the telling off to follow, lol.

[ThePFJ]

Ok Sal

[ThePFJ]

I get dead nervous when people call me by my actual name rather than my nickname, it means I am getting a telling off OR something deadly serious has just happened. Makes my bladder tingle everytime!
