DH has taken older two out to play tennis and DD2 is sleeping so have a little time to myself- yippee!
Sympathies on the heartburn carciofi. Have you tried peppermint tea? I found in my first pg that coffee gave me horrible reflux. I stopped drinking it and remained free of reflux the last couple of weeks. I used to love strong filter coffee and it has put me off totally- hardly ever drink it now! Worth a try if you are a coffee drinker!
fleecy- pleased to hear that you are keeping well.
everything- how sad that your (ex)DH isn't more keen to see your DS even though he is not living with him any more :(
I think for your sanity, you need to thrash out some kind of regular arrangement so that you can plan your life and enjoy yourself when you do have time to yourself.
exhausted- it is hard returning to work post ML, particularly when you have the baby in nursery as they tend to pick up everything going in the first 6/12. I hope things settle down for you and that your DH makes a good recovery!
vin- I so agree with zembo about the inefficiency and poor standards of those who tend to run HR departments in hospital trusts. I have rarely met with efficiency and sometimes encountered much worse.
Re jobs- I think you have to decide what your priorities are and go with that job. I totally understand why you want to provide a really worthwhile service to society by doing HC work. However, you have to make sure that you are in a position financially, emotionally, etc to be able to do that.
Also not 100% sure if you are planning to apply for med school to start Oct this year. Personally, I wouldn't leave it much later than 27 to start the course as it is long and the training even longer depending on which specialty you choose.
mac- hope you have a wonderful time with your DH- you deserve it after such a long time!
