I'm feeling really well in a kind of mildly toxic way, nothing like as bad as I would do if both drugs were in. Thank you all for being around in the wee dark hours and keeping me cheery. MrsShrek, the double cycle is pretty much what the onco said to us on Thursday and we're getting some help from a couple of sources for support going forward - it's interesting that the media picked up on this just last weekend. But I will also be kind to myself this is not in my core skill set so may take work.

The sun is out, DD and I are off to church then Easter Egg hunt at home plus roast lunch with PILs. I can't even describe how happy this simple stuff makes me feel. Wish I could share it with those of you who are feeling low.

Massive (((hugs))) and Flowers for all of you.

Hi everyone. Happy Easter to allSmile

bluey your day sounds lovely. I agree; the simple things are like gold.

Someone asked if she was my granddaughter Sad

Off to hit the chocolate Wink

Happy Easter everyone!!!

Kitty nooooo!!!! Sad

Happy Easter every one, I am back home now lying in my bed typing these lines on my lappy what a bliss it is to be at home and to type on your own laptop rather than the tiny touch screen with fat fingers Smile

Kitty I was somewhere in the deserts of Middle East at an average temperature of 40 and yes midwife does have a hot line with dad Wink so did jynier Smile

Jynier how are things at your end now, have been reading your post re your village, the way you describe this is marvelous.

cafecito · 31/03/2013 21:32

Gosh bluey well done you! Yes that does sum up criminal law [bugrin]

Jynier, yay for GS! Camberwick green sounds better with each post! Deer!? The closest thing to wildlife I see is the furry man with the hacking cough and pompon hat sat opposite me now in pret a manger...

cafecito · 31/03/2013 21:35

Bluey which one did they stop? (Nosy academic medical questioning)

Hope everyone is well

I slept..... all day....

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 31/03/2013 21:53

Wow dad that's exotic. What do you do for a living?

I've been trying to get littlekitty to sleep since 20.00 but it's still not happening. Sad. I'm knackered. She walked for ages earlier too so should be exhausted. It was the same last night too.

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 31/03/2013 22:00

themidwife yeeeeeesssss Sad it is true.

Unfortunately it has happened before but that was a bloke who was stood outside a pub so I convinced my he was lashed Grin

cafecito · 31/03/2013 22:29

littlekitty in an Easter bonnet AND walking that's so adorable :) I'm still in pret, off to walk home.

The outlaws came Hmm it was traumatising, they arrived an hour early....opened every cupboard etc etc. proclaimed well theres no way you should have DS and do medicine its just not responsible. Its ridiculous. you should not have him you should stay at home and get yout priorities straight. tried really hard not to murder them :)

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 31/03/2013 22:38

Oh cafe that's so anger-makingAngry Angry Angry Angry Hopefully that's it for a while now. How often do you endure see them? Does he see his dad too?

What ridiculous attitudes. You did very well to not be bricking them into a wall cavity right now. Grin

Littlekitty walked our streets in her bonnet and mittens- it was too too adorable. We really need a 'I might die from too much cute' emoticon.

She's just gone off to sleep Shock

MrsShrek3 · 31/03/2013 22:41

hope littlekitty sleeps tonight and if not seriously consider spiking her milk toddling in an Easter bonnet... awww cuteness Smile

hope we're not all on the wide awake team tonight. how's everyone doing?

I do hope cafe's outlaws have effed off and won't be seen for a long time. arseholes.

Midwife99 · 31/03/2013 22:54

Ohhhhh little bittykitty in an Easter bonnet & mittens toddling about!! Devastatingly cute! Awake until 10pm though! Less cute! I bet you don't really look like her granny - we all fancy you as you know! Wink

Glad you're home Dad - you must be delighted to get back to the cold wet snowy grim UK!! Also wondering what you were doing in the Middle East?!! Stroking sheiks' palms with gold for their oil?!!

Cafe - your in laws are entitled twunts aren't they? How very dare they?!!

Midwife99 · 31/03/2013 22:56

How are you feeling now Jynier? You sounded quite sad in your last post Sad

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 31/03/2013 23:36

Blush thanks themidwife Grin

I finally managed to leave her room at 23.00 and um back in again nowSad She's awake again. Sob

Got any recipes for Mickey Finns Mrs? Though is have to spike my boobies Grin

OP posts:
KittyAndTheFontanelles · 31/03/2013 23:41

Must proofread before posting Confused
I'm sure this must be flouting the European working time directive or something Hmm Biscuit

cafecito · 31/03/2013 23:49

Grin at spiking boobies. well, I am home. Lots of nutters on the streets tonight! my goodness

oh, the outlaws won't be coming back Grin

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 31/03/2013 23:56

ooh scary cafe, I like it Grin

Where did that biscuit come from in my last post? Confused

OP posts:
MrsShrek3 · 31/03/2013 23:57

no nutters in here, oh no. not us Grin The nutters are all outside, being, erm nutty Wink

as for spiking boobies Grin well can't you drink alcoholic beverage of choice to excess and she'll get the effect? Wink (I drank red vino sometimes whilst bfing... my children all sleep well Grin Grin just sayin')

MrsShrek3 · 01/04/2013 00:04

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 01/04/2013 00:06

Well I do allow myself an inch of wine every night from time to time Grin My breast feeding nurse told me it was fine Blush

She's got 4 teeth coming at once so I think that's the problem. The weird thing is though that she doesn't cry, she just wants to be awake and play or suckle all night. She tweaks one nipple while suckling the other booby so after a heavy session like tonight they are battering. Sad

OP posts:
cafecito · 01/04/2013 00:08

I did the wine thing with DS - !

cafecito · 01/04/2013 00:15

aww littlekitty and her teething and nippletweaking

honestly, I walked back from Trafalgar square/Leicester square way it was just awful, usually not a problem, 3 people grabbed me Hmm

I just paid my rent online so I'ma bit grumpy. Sad ouch

I need to now do a postdated lent, seeing as I did some kind of reverse lent before easter and lived only on chocolate.

yes, the outlaws.. where to start. My god. The hour early thing wa sbad enough, not to mention the double night shift effect - and the judgey entitled twunty commentary, and the hatefulness of my street, and deliberately poing my washing up that I would have had done had they turned up on time.. and and and.. aagh.. had to lie in the end and fake a training session just to get them to go away 'but how can you be doing a training session if you are working nights...are you taking pills how on earth do you stay awake' 'I was supposed to be sleeping now, but you are here'

starsandunicorns · 01/04/2013 01:51
