I have been hanging about for a few days waiting for the new thread, so I thought I'd get off my ass and make one myself. Happy weekend all, and Happy Mother's Day!

XXX

Reilly had an operation in his mouth

Yes, you're right, most women want to be slim. Haha, I wouldn't even mind if I wanted to be skinny more - most of the time I just like food too much! It's all right, she can mention it to the councillor, and then you can discuss it with her and she'll see you're fine. Some people with eating disorders hide it really well, so I guess because she doesn't know you that well yet she might worry that you're just too embarrassed to admit it to her, and she cares too much to just ignore it, even if the chances are slim.

Sucks re marriage, yes. I have no magic words, but is here for you if you fancy moaning / chatting / whatever depending on the day.

Oh, Lord, no! I want to be fat, I tell you, which is why I spent the last 2 days eating chocolate eggs to achieve my goal all the sooner!

Ladybee I am sorry. hgs a p[lenty for you

Scorps- good to see you back

Just had an email to say a friend is missing, car found on hills two days ago, he wwas depressed. Haven't seen him in a while as he is another friend's ex, but his 3 children must be terrified

Fllight so sorry to ehar about Christmaspixie, so awful for her family

That is horrible! Dammit, 2 days. Hope they find an answer soon - either way. I know this sounds horrid, but I think it would be better than the constant worry and fear and almost knowing deep down.

That's so sad peachy, hope he's found safe soon.

ladybee - am so sorry hon. How are you doing today?

Hey scorps - how you doing?

I am in full my-body-is-a-temple mode today after a weekend of constant chocolate. I realised had not been normal when I said to Molly this morning 'What do you want for breakfast darling?' and she said 'chocolate cake!'. Nice try though....

Morning all. I've sort of lost the will to clean now - it all seemed such a good idea at the time . I sort of wonder round with the brush now randomly sweeping to see if I can get away with that but I can see that DH isn't fooled LOL

Scorps - pleased to see you back and remember that we're all here for you no matter what goes on. Marriage can be incredibly frustrating even when it's going well so I can only imagine how dreadful it must be when it isn't Keep strong though lovey and you'll come out the other end at some point, promise Glad to hear that Reilly is recovering after his op & hope that things with Jamie get better soon. He's probably trying to process everything for himself and hopefully once he gets his head round everything things will start to get better.

Peachy - sorry to hear about your friend and I hope you get some answers soon.

Sam has been much better over the last few days. He's still bringing some food up but nowhere near as much as he was. I just keep trying different strategies to see if I can find one that will work. Am still bloody waiting for the hospital though to ring about the scans. You'd think that when it's a baby losing weight they'd phone you first .

Poor DH has had to go into work today so am going to take the boys out in a mo. First I've got to make DS1 a dentist's appointment. He's grown his big teeth behind his baby teeth at the botttom so he'll probably have to have them taken out, which he is not going to be impressed with. Hey ho, wish us luck

EWhy's everyuthing gone bold?
No news but ehading tehre today as pre arrnaged so hopefully will know more

I don't know, thought it's just my screen going insane (it cracked over the weekend - damn damn damn).

Good luck with the visit, Peachy.

Ellie, Molly's my kind of girl.

It is all bold, isn't it?!

Peachy, that's really sad, must be so hard for that family just waiting to hear the news they're dreading to hear.

My body is now a temple to chocolate. I didn't eat much over the weekend although did do a brilliant (even if I say so myself) roast chicken dinner on the Sunday - it was sooooo yummy, even B thought so. We got into a pattern of having our dinner early so that B could eat with mummy & daddy and we all have the same, it was so nice we've decided to try to do it at least once each weekend from now.

Having a bit of a arsey time trying to get appointments etc sorted. EPU needs a referral from the GP, can't get an on-the-day appointment from a GP unless you call at 8AM (or apparently, from 2pm the previous day ). EPU doesn't open until 9am so didn't get that information in time. At the moment I'm waiting for a phone call appt which is supposed to happen 'this morning'...EPU closes in a hour. Tomorrow I have B at home with me, but I've asked DH to take at least the morning off so if I do manage to get a referral by the end of today I'll be free to go up and not need to worry about what to do with DS. At the moment dealing with all the logistics is almost comforting, sort of gives me something practical to hang on to without thinking too far ahead.

Work have been good - very understanding and sympathetic manager, I felt rubbish writing the email to her, not least because now she Knows about the wanting-to-be-pregnant plans. I can't help feeling it puts me at a disadvantage some how.

Blimey they don't make it easier do they? Fingers crossed for you that you manage to get an appointment today lady. Is good your manager is supportive, at least it means it's one less thing to worry about. Are you signed off for a bit?

Hi all

Ladybee that is just so unfair, tyher last think you need atm.

Crap system.

Chocolate overload here too- seems to be veverywhere incvluidng smeared over the car where some was grabbed on the m way today

Little news on friend, missing since tuesday, sighting possibly thursday. he'd been convicted of drink sriving and lot licence he needed for job. He has 3 children aged 12, 9 and 6 (IIRC) and they had a baby that died aged a few hours several years ago, he got divorced a few eyars back.

Plenty of people mlooking for him but search and rescue have called off search as not enough evidence he is a risk to himself despite ebing depressed. I guess there is only so much money.

Hey all.

Gosh Clarissimo, hope everything turns out OK. It does seem a bit crap that they won't carry on looking for him, but like you said, I guess there's only so much money they can spend.

Chocolate overload in this house too. My adorable DH bought me the 1kg chocolate easter egg that one of the supermarkets had in over here. I didn't know whether to smother him in kisses when he gave it to me or kick him in the shins. I have been very good though and shared it round, the worrying thing is that between three of us we've still only managed to eat the top of the egg. There's a ruddy great chocolate basket at the bottom - how will I cope DS1 has already eaten his egg but does have a chocolate chicken left!!!!

DS1 and I are going to the dentist on Friday. I don't mind going but DS1 is bound to need a couple of teeth out so don't know how well that's going to go down - poor sausage.

Hi all! Sorry to hear about that poor guy, Clarissimo. Hope he turns up safe and sound, even if things don't look good now.

Well, we have has a nasty accident here. Poor Harry pulled a cup of hot tea over himelf last night and scalded his face. We poured cold water over him and tried to get a damp tea-towel onto the skin but he was having none of it! I think he went into shock a bit as well as he was shaking like a leaf, the poor little love.

We brought him to A+E and thankfully they didn't feel it was too bad, just superficial burns. But he looks like he has been through the wars, with blisters on his forehead and cheeks.

I feel so bad and guilty because it was my tea and I didn't leave it out-of-reach enough, just forgot how tall he was getting, I suppose. Just praying he's not left with scars.

Oh poor Harry

Hope he's OK and looking well again soon

Oh chipmonkey, it must be so shocking for you! I hope Harry feels better soon. Don't beat yourself up though - it's an accident. It's physically impossible to guard them against everything, you know that. xxx

Not much news here, but good to see what everyone's been up to. Thinking of those having a tough time.

Oh lots of sad news

Clair I hope they find your friend. Depression is an awful illness.

Chipmonkey - I forget how big mimi is too and that she isn't 'trained' in things like the eldest ones yet. I hope he will be fine

ladybee - hope you get your appointment and am answer

well I'm doing ok. I can't even say what happened the other day but it was the end I needed.

Hugs to scorps - you sound sad - we are here if you want to chat more x

chipmonkey - poor old Harry, how is he doing today? Don't beat yourself up, it's something that can happen in a moment and he is OK. Sending lots of love and get well soon vibes x

Oh Chipmonkey, that must have been so scary - poor Harry, but do remember the drs said superficial and try not to be too hard on yourself. I hope he's ok with blisters and once they start to heal up doesn't find it too uncomfortable.

Peachy, any news?

Well, I'm curled up at home under a rug and watching old Time Team episodes (I don't know why I find these very comforting). Had a long morning at the EPU yesterday, a second scan, confirmed diagnosis and booked in for an ERPC which I had this morning, got home at about 4pm.
I'm a bit sore and tired and glum, but also strangely at peace now that it's done.

It was very strange being back at the hospital where I had B, and even stranger seeing my notes from the pregnancy in the file at the end of the bed. I really wish I'd picked them up and had a good look through to read what was in about my labour, while I had the chance but the nurses were in an out constantly checking on blood pressure etc. I have to say I was really impressed with the care I got from everyone - really sensitive and kind, there was no hint of anyone not knowing what was happening to me.

Scorp, you know where I am if you want to talk. Or if you'd rather not and just hang around with us, that's good too. xxx

Well, work... Actually, work going really well, great people, very professional, I suspect I'll work my arse off at times, but really decent people around, so that'll be fine. However...

It was R's first day at new nursery today (he still goes the one day to his old one, and two days at new place), and he didn't even stay an hour - apparently cried his eyes out if dh even tried turning his back. In the end he lead dh to the door by the hand, saying "huis, huis, huis" (home). And then when they got in the car, he said (translated) "get mommy choo-train" - which is his way to say they should go and get me at the train station (dh meets me at station if he's working from home). I feel horrid about it. I've now switched my day so that I'm at home tomorrow, so will go to nursery again for an hour or two tomorrow, and then dh takes leave on Monday, and will do the same. I'm off again on Tuesday, so will go again for a short while, and then hopefully by next Thursday he'll be happy to stay. I really hope so, I don't know what I'll do if he doesn't settle in. Fingers crossed that it's just because it's a bit strange at first. I did think a day settling in is too short, but as he loves his other 1-day-a-week nursery, we all thought he'd be ok.

Hi Ladybee, sorry, cross posted there. x

Hey ladybee - am glad you are back home safe and sound, if somewhat sad. We are here for you x

sal - poor old R and you - I find parenting is an endless source of guilt - can he not increase his hours at the nursery he likes?

Mol cried when I left her this morning and said 'Mummy home cuddle' which is what she always asks to do if she's feeling a bit tired or under the weather and wants to go home for a snuggle up. I was a bit sad, but she's always OK in a minute after I've left. Still makes me a bit though as I'd like it if she didn't have to go full time.

Good morning everyone,

I have made a pot of tea for you all to enjoy, please help yourselves. I've got some easter eggs and minieggs left over in the kitchen too so dive in...

I might phone the hospital today to find out how long stitches take to dissolve because mine just won't seem to disappear.

Love to you all...
