Are you ok Maxy?

Ok I need a three wheeler. Why oh why did I not get one earlier? Will I ever learn?

DD1's school closed today. DD2's open so took her in late. DD3 stayed home with DD1 meanwhile as I just thought she would get too cold and miserable walking. The micralite struggled yesterday and would not have made it through today's snow. Frankly I am now hoping everything is closed tomorrow so we can all hibernate indoors.

nicolamumof3 · 01/12/2010 21:11

cry then my lovely, you will feel better i promise. I can tell you i've been so low the last few days but finally feeling a bit more like me and coming out of this low again. I do feel for you. You have James 24/7 with no respite, its hard bloody going. Not much practical advice or help i can give on that front but we're always here to listen and give you a virtual hug xxx

helooo flyme!
well strangely luka is loving the snow, and will not get in his damn pushchair lol! but obviously doesn't have the walk you have to school. Off to check local listings for you!! I thought micralite would be fine tipped back onto back wheels? no?

nicolamumof3 · 01/12/2010 21:14

speedi in wadhurst

Flyme · 01/12/2010 21:17

Oh DD loves the snow too and races around. But then gets wet and then cold and then miserable.

Micralite was heavy with 4 year old in it tipped back and mine seems to have a dodgy valve on one wheel so it deflates under undue pressure.
There is a quinny speedi in Wadhurst on ebay.

Probably be no snow by the time I get ahold of anything. No sledges to be had either.

Flyme · 01/12/2010 21:17

lol

nicolamumof3 · 01/12/2010 21:21

terry bought sledges last week fortunately. wasn't going to get caught out again!!

carrielou2007 · 01/12/2010 21:40

Evening Smile

I bought two sledge in june of this year, shopkeeper looked at me as if I were a loon (plus I plonked them on the cam carrycot and off I went!!) suposed to be one for dc one to ebay but I'm too soft so want one for each of them when they are bigger, they are a two person sledge Grin

Hope you feel better soon Maxy Smile

Poorly ds here, at docs mon night after work for eye drops, tue after work for antbiotics for back chest tue, had just parked car 34 miles from home when my CM rang to say he was too poorly Sad. Poor wee thing has a hacking cough his whole little body shakes and wheezes Sad

My MB swift has been fantastic, can not rate it highly enough, especially snuggly with wolf fur buggysnuggle on it! The one day when it was really cold dd sat in it with ds and I pushed them both home!!

Back to have a proper read back rather than a quick skim through Smile

5inthebed · 01/12/2010 21:41

What do you think of this. Would it be a beast to drive?

Maxy, I really hope you feel better soon. Get yourself to the doctors tomorrow if you can.

DS2s annual checkup tomorrow at hospital should be fun in all this snow Xmas Hmm

Flyme · 01/12/2010 21:53

Beast 5in.

nicolamumof3 · 01/12/2010 21:56

awww carrie thats so cute your dd and ds in swift together can just imagine!

carrielou2007 · 01/12/2010 22:01

Ooh that's a rollerbug isn't it?? Think Lilypie had one and it was fantastic, would be fab for the snow but you're only little aren't you and they are huge??

I should've taken a pic of the two of them, dd's knees were almost at her ears inside the snuggle and holding onto her brother!!

horsemadgal · 01/12/2010 22:04

Oo was just going to say is that a rollerbug?

maxybrown · 01/12/2010 22:06

James finally in bed Sad he won't let Matthew near him at the minute, it is so draining. Then he goes beserk when you can't understand him, I lose the plot, he goes beserk and so on - picture the scene eh? I cannot tell you how bad my throat is, don't remember anything like it.

Booked docs for Friday as only one appt avail tomo at 9am and I'll never get there. dreading it as it is as it's two bus journeys to the docs, none at a time when Matthew could take me. My tongue is red raw too

Flyme · 01/12/2010 22:07

Sounds horrendous maxy. Is anything helping?

nicolamumof3 · 01/12/2010 22:10

does sound awful is it tonsillitus do you think? oh huge hugs it is bloody draining. hard to cope with at the best of times, but when you are ill your patience just goes to zero doesn't it. Hopefully your little parcel will be there tomorrow.

maxybrown · 01/12/2010 22:17

so sorry Nic, parcel arrived today, thank you, James over the moon, been meaning to tell ypou all day.

I have no tonsills! Though suffer dreadfully when my throat gets sore. In fact, I feel like when I had them out, although that memory must be vague now (I was 5 though I still remember what I had to eat before I went home) I feel like I have just had my tonsills out.

Nothing has helped, have gargled taken tabs, had honey drinks all day - that helps a little whilst drinking, but as soon as you stop that's it. Am currently eating rocket ice lolly - be great if I could stick it down my throat directly onto it!
Thanks for listening, sorry going on Hmm

nicolamumof3 · 01/12/2010 22:21

you're not going on, its ok. get to the docs why's it so far away? shame that. Oh glad he got his pants for 1st dec!! im made up now!! Just need lukey's dungies now hopefully tomorrow we had no post today Sad

maxybrown · 01/12/2010 22:25

oh bum - mind you I'm amazed they came today! Yes just love the snowman ones.

Becasue - and now you will think I am foolish, we have the same docs form where we used to live, but we made that decision as they are LOVELY, can always get appt and we hardly ever go - plus normally Matthew takes me in the evening if needbe, this is just one of those shitty time where it is not so good. But they have been brilliant over numerous things and I have had so many diff docs over last few years, i feel stable there Grin

nicolamumof3 · 01/12/2010 22:30

i know they are cute aren't they!!

well its worth staying at a good docs i can tell you.

right my sky has no signal. its still snowing..im off to bed! night night xx

maxybrown · 01/12/2010 22:32

no snow here, Matthew gutted as means he'll be going in - ha me too, I have tried to persuade him to take James in with him, Kids will love it - but not as much as me Grin

oh does this work yet? [fbear]

maxybrown · 01/12/2010 22:32

oh bum - MN why can't we have a bear with a santa hat?

horsemadgal · 01/12/2010 22:40

Oh maxy you poor thing, hope you feel better soon.

maxybrown · 01/12/2010 22:45

Thank you, sniff. Am putting off going to bed as lie there feeling my throat pounding. knackered though

horsemadgal · 01/12/2010 23:25

Gah yes I usually start coughing when I lie down. Can you maybe prop yourself up?

basl · 02/12/2010 07:59

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww Maxy that sounds terrible my little darling. Well i have been druggyed up to the max with all sorts to help my throat but you sound in a bad way. Hope you get something at the doctors and soon.

Carrie love the story of your too in the swift.

My UD is proving hard to collect due to the weather. Not that i could push any pram in the amount of snow here. My work has closed and i am on holiday bloody typical.

Catch up again shortly. Yooo hooo nicola glad your feeling bit better honey xxxx
