Cross posted with your post Giganticus. Sorry to hear about your DD.

Howto Paul is on 7pm tonight on facebook. I really dont know how to do a facebook live chat, but I have "liked" his page, so I suppose he will be on there??????

Just had a first here. I am back at work and was thinking how hungry I am!! Then I realised that I am hungry because I forgot to have breakfast! I have never forgotten a meal before in my life. Life was one long meal 6 months ago!!!
Just enjoyed a pot of yummy strawberries!!

I'm Ok Ali thanks :)

GA arghh! hope that sorts itself out and away soon :(

Niecie recipe for disaster?? working with Dh?

Ds got on well yesterday; said he wasn't picked on...it was only day 1 though...

Dd starts tomorrow.

My ME is awful right now.

PA wow!

Cetain recipe for disaster Solo - working for DH. I am not used to being told what to do!! I don't want to do it but it might be the best thing for him and for our family finances if I help out. I might have to bite my tongue and get on with it on the understanding that I am out of there as soon as possible. I don't like the job which is why I have never gone back to it but I can't not help him out really.

Any reason why your ME has flared up? Do you have a means of controlling it? Not nice though. The weather doesn't make it any easier either does it. It is achey joint, bleurgh sort of weather really. Definitely autumn now.

Hope your DS has another good day - has he had problems with certain other children in the past then?

Great stuff PA. We do all seem to be moving in the right direction at the moment.

I feel disasterously fat today. :(

I'm off to london tomorrow on the train for a change, takes longer but less stressful IFYKWIM. So see you all in a week or so.

solo This thread is non sweary and supportive which is more than I can say for some of the rest of mumsnet but do we regulars frighten away the newies do you think?

Enjoy your trip ppeat

If I remember right you are in France? The train has to be a wiser option than a boat in this weather!!

Here is a link to the live webchat, 5=6pm i think its on at

link

What questions should we ask? You can submit them now to be answered later.

Just to catch up ... sorry you and DD are ill Gig :(
PP - have a fab time in London!
CY - Stop the negative thinking! This wont be successfull if you think of yourself in dergotary ways ... please sit & think about the great things about yourself, think about who & why people love you, look at yourself through their eyes (like Paul tells us ) ... and join in the Q&A if possible?
PA - Im rubbish at remembering who is who on FB ... thanks for teh links if it was you
Solo- Im sorry your ME is playing up, take it easy & be kind to yourself.
Niece - so :( for your DS! Hope you get something sorted for him.

Thanks for doing the link Howto I came on to do the same, but your fingers are quicker than mine, obviously! Yep, 5 - 6.

Solo - sorry to hear about your ME. DD3 is really bad at the moment with hers too. It is always bad in September, as soon as the summer is over it seems to nosedive!

PP - I am not so sure that its us regulars putting newbies off, but I think if we start a new thread, then we might attract some newbies, especially if people are thinking of starting to tackle a food issue when the DC go back to school, maybe. I know that if I look in active convo's and see a thread with over 100 posts I back off because I assume its got a bit "chummy" and dont want to feel like a gate-crasher. - just my own observation, and I am probably paranoid anyway. (either that, or there is a bunfight going on, so back off anyway!!)

Niecie - really hope school sorts him out, what a rubbish start

DS1 was back at preschool today. I am really worried about him socially/emotionally tbh. He is a late summer born boy, and the girls in his class who are autumn birthdays seem like teenagers in comparison, and I can see that they view him as an annoying baby He so wants to be friends but he doesn't seem to have picked up the knack of it yet. Sigh. I have to pull myself together about it, but I just feel like want to keep him at home with me forever!
Trying very hard not to eat things.

I thin a shiny new thread is a good idea PA, I avoid long threads for the same reason as you!

Ali, I am so glad, for that reason, that the scottish school system is different! My DS would not cope with school at 4, not a chance. He will be almost 5 and a half when he starts!

just realised you said preschool! How old is he?

EST is 12 to 1pm and GMT is 5-6pm. Makes me think he is trying to stop us eating, scheduling this chat for mealtimes.

How many of us are on the FB page as well then?

Glaikit he is just 3, and so he'll be just 4 when he starts school this time next year - and the same problem will apply.

My youngest brother is also a late summer birthday, but he was ok, I think because with two older siblings he was used to be around older children and knew the rules already!

I'm not worried about him academically, he is v.bright and has already met his early learning goals for maths and english.
DH and I were both bullied at school, so it is a nervous area for us and we just want to do the best we can for him.

Niecie - DH and I used to work together, it is how we met Not sure we could do it now mind, especially not me working for him - eek!
Needs must though I suppose, and at least you won't have a problem getting your holiday days signed off

Just earmarking for later...Dd's swimming lesson is at 5, so I wont make the web chat, but if you are going on there, give him a snog from me please .

Solo, he has already had a marraige proposal! someone got in there quick haha

Oh God Solo - you've put me right off my tea/dinner/tomorrows breakfast.

Alibaba - we met at work too but that was 20 years ago - he was my boss then. Things have changed. The balance of power has shifted and I have had 11 years of not taking orders. It might not be pretty. Plus, DH loves job but since then I've come 'out' and admitted I don't actually it at all and wish I had never gone down that road in the first place. DH looks all hurt when I say that and says we wouldn't have met which is probably true. On some days that just adds to the reasons why I shouldn't have taken the job. But why did fate arrange it so that I had to do a job I hated for us to meet? Why couldn't it have been him!??

I have a summer born as well (DS1) - Once he got nursery over with where frankly he was hardwork for several weeks, he has always settled well at school (until yesterday) so hopefully your DS will too even if it takes a bit of time at the nursery stage. Hope he has fun. I am sure the teachers will help - they have gone through this many times before.

Welll Im watching this Q&A session on Facebook ... so far lots of questions, no answers! Am I missing something?

HotToLook - I had a look and if you do messages in chronological order he has answered about 5 so far.

Yeah, worked it out eventually. Its a bit slow & he isnt saying much is he? :(

Hello girls. Can you help? Dd is much better, brighter, up and about and has had some toast for tea. I've stopped being sick (this morning) but I feel dire. I keep falling asleep, I'm running a slight temperature, have a dreadful headache and I feel really, really sick still. I've drunk (slowly) 2-3 glasses of water. Any suggestions as to what I can do?
