Bexie reminded me it was the first of July!

I am still on the search for a pram that does all I want it to!

Nicola it sounds like you have tons on your plate - is there any chance your mum could help you out?

5inthebed · 06/07/2009 14:37

Oh Maxy, I didn't realise you're so ill. I can arrange another day for collecting the Mutsy if you want?

Is it the TA course you're giving up Nicola . Do you not need my info now? Hope you feel better quickly!

Does anyone want my raincover for BJCM? Not the BJCM one, but fits great? Wasthinking about getting the official one, seeming as its a keeper. Would want £7 posted for it.

No stress can be a terrible thing Nicola, worst of all. You can always go back to your course at a later date. Time is too precious!

Frogmella I will email you thanks

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2009 14:46

Well DDs were driving me mad over lunch so I hauled us all over to Calverly Ground Park for a run around and thought I would just pop into second hand shop to see if the P&T doubles seat was still there......

And it was!

5inthebed · 06/07/2009 14:48

Why can't I ever find a decent pram purchase in 2nd hand shops?

please tell me you got it dunoon will cheer me up no end!!

i just sat here and had a little cry to myself. the last time i felt this poorly and for this long 10 days it is now. was exactly 2yrs ago! just before giving birth i had sinisitus then and was so poorly i had to have epidural!!

yes 5in the TA course but needs must. v.unlikely i will pick it up again as they aren't running in this area anymore. but tbh it is also v.unlikely that i will be looking for a job in the forseeable future either.

libra....love that buggysnuggle and def not girly. dibs on it if you get it!!

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 14:50

Tunbridge Wells where Dunoon lives is full of rich people!!! thats why they can afford to GIVE brand new stuff away lol!!

sweetkitty · 06/07/2009 14:52

Nicola - I cannot believe they did not give you antibiotics, sinusitis is horrendous, I had it just before DD2 was born as well, was on antibiotics and I was taking the cocodamol I was given for afterpains it was that bad I could sleep. Get some Sinutab it's quite good.

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2009 14:52

I got it. Sorry you are feeling so awful. If there is anything I can do just ask.

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 14:56

thanks that is so kind. im sure i will be ok as i plan on doing nothing from now on. resting whilst kids don't need me instead of runing round doing constant housework. no more coursework. have rung my tutor and she was really nice (answered phone reciting tel.no, didn't realise people still did that )

right rest time over time to get luka up! btw how many of you have to wake your lo's up from a nap? i have to every day with luka or he would sleep a good 3/4hrs!!

maxybrown · 06/07/2009 14:57

no 5in it's fine honestly. Right I need some help peeps....I am crying my eyes out at min....through fear I think!!! I have just pulled the stuff that was in my gum out as doc said to try and get rid of it. Didn't hurt a bit but there was LOADS of it and now I can see the whole which makes me feel bit funny...rang my big sis and she has ordered me to go and rinse it with salt water but I am really scared....pathetgic eh. She is ringing me back in ten mins to make sure I have done it. I know she's right but I HATE TEETH and I'm getting myself in a right state.....sorry. And Nicola I am with you. Hideous. go and have a hot steamy shower if you can bear it.....

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 14:59

oh maxy honey, yes rinse it out warm salt water as that acts as disentectant. have you taken some ibuprofen too? you will have to ring dentist tho love and see what they recommend he will have to look at it, will they be able to sedate you? have you tried rescue remedy?

maxybrown · 06/07/2009 15:28

I did a reply then the sytem went down. I did it. Was ok but bit sore now. Had tablets so must go and do dishes before DH gets home. Urghhhhhhh thanks for listening anyone!!!

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 15:32

don't worry maxy we understand!! im thinking it is sometimes easier to go out when you are feeling pants i have a long shopping list of wedding bits left to get so may get bus into town and take boys for tea out?? am i mad. yes.

maxybrown · 06/07/2009 15:43

I know exactly what you mena Nicola, I agree. But don't over do it. I THINK the dentist may have left some wadding ir something in my gum you know. I just sent a pic to my sister and she couldn't believe what I had pulled out! It is very fiberous. Can't imagine my body would have made something like that??!!

MamaG · 06/07/2009 15:46

maxy they do pack it with cotton-wooly-soaked-in-anti-nastiness stuff, please don't worry, its normal

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 15:46

i expect they 'packed' it with something they sometimes do that?

maxybrown · 06/07/2009 15:51

oh right thanks...phew. Should it have come out though?? She never told me......mind you it was a nightmare so she prob couldn't wait to get rid of me

maxybrown · 06/07/2009 16:03

right I have just put infinity on sale board as still not sure about the small wheel big wheel thing......sigh. I am silly I know. It hasn't even arrived yet, and now someone on here has the trophy I wanted.....so if any interest peeps? It has all the accessories unused still.

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 16:22

god im so bloody mad. kids. all set to go out (why when i feel like dying!!) ask tom to get his cagoule out of bag. brand new one bought last week as he had lost the other. its not in his bag he doesn't know where it is!!!! so he's had telling off and not going out now. nothing for kids tea im so tired, i want my bed!!

BexieID · 06/07/2009 16:34

Aww Nicola. It's annoying losing things. I would still go out though. I'm turning computer off as need to wash up/finish sorting out washing and get ready for work.

5inthebed · 06/07/2009 16:44

Aaaaargh nightmare!!!!!

Just went into DS2's bedroom to make his bed and tidy up, and his bedroom carpet was wet. Water seeping in from the walls somewhere. And to make it worse, its the same in my bedroom as well! Have just spent the past hour lifting carpets, emptying the cupboards and mopping up water . Phoned the council, and they are so unconcerned. I need to let it dry, then call the inspector out.

Fuming!

Can you not just tell the seller you have changed your mind Maxy?
