Hey new thread since our old stopping smoking and not gaining-too--much weight has been lost from chat! BOO!!!

I am not a good role model however as I HAVE piled on a stone, well 12 lbs now, since giving up the cigs.
This must be rectified!
Hence joining in the club section!

Donnadoon hope you find this thread.

Everyone else pile in, join and be happy or miserable bastard ex smokers

You must be scared.
Keep hold of that they would have scanned her there and then and try get through each day.
Wish there was something I could do to help you my lovely.
Waiting for appointments is shit.

You are a great mum and will make sure everything is ok, they kids are the heart of you and are lucky to have such a fab mum.

Take care of you, as you're the one holding it all together.
Love n hugs xxx

Hiya
I've calmed down
I started a thread in chat and some people said that they've had this and it's been diagnosed as inter-cranial hypertension and some other much less scary things
Dd has had no more headaches this week, she got her new glasses yesterday and touch wood they suit her fine
And I have held onto that if they thought it was serious she would have been seen by now
I went to our gp too and he talked me down as well
So I've caught up on some sleep, regained my appetite and feel much stronger than I did a few days ago
Flowers for being there Fran
I will let you know as soon as she is called up to see this specialist
DH is taking her,because I just crumble and blub and forget what they've said , and I don't ask any questions, I just google when I get home Blush

Kids eh ?
To top it off we went to visit ds1 on Sunday and it was wonderful to see him, but heart wrenching to say goodbye, he won't be back for another fortnight and I miss him loads

I'm great at having babies and keeping them warm and fed and getting them to school on time etc but when something goes wrong I Go. To. Pieces. I'm not as strong as I'd like to be and it's frustrating but that's where cool, calm, and collected DH comes in I suppose Grin
Hope you and yours are ok

FrantasticO · 25/10/2014 12:23

You are a great mum. No ifs buts or maybes.
We've chatted long enough for me to know that.

Had a look at your other thread. Sounds like good advice.

Would call the secretary on Monday regardless, those who make themselves heard get seen first. And your wee girls most important.

Hope you get some rest and plan something fun for you all for the weekend, you deserve it.

Hugs my lovely xxx

Ooh and I'm sure you would anyway.

But a bullet point list that you want answered handed to the consultant at the appointment means no forgotten or unanswered questions.

Hugs again xxx

Hiya
Nowt to report here
Spoke to someone at the hospital who assured me that an appointment is on it's way and that if dd s condition gives me cause for concern to bring her straight in, blah blah blah
She is driving me mad though, fighting with the others, giving me a load of lip, perfectly her normal self Grin
So I'm so much calmer than I was this time last week

We are off to dentist this afternoon, the joy !
In fact dd has to have a tooth pulled out because of an abscess ? It's not causing her any pain or discomfort but I'm even wondering if there is an infection of somesort in her gum that has sent her optic nerve funny clutches straws

Hope alls well with you
I'm resisting the mince pies xx

FrantasticO · 29/10/2014 21:20

Hiya!
So pleased to hear from you!
Glad you are all having some normality which always involves arguments with kids!

Abscess, viral illnesses...I would also be thinking what if they are linked.
Fingers crossed you get your appointment in soon.

Wish we lived closer, I'd force feed you some mince pies, you so deserve them!

Hope the dentist went well and that some Halloween fun is coming your way!

Hola
Sorry mate but the weather has been glorious down here, we had a couple of showers yesterday but apart from that it's warm and sunny
We had a great weekend, I thrown a bit of a wobbler last night because the Grand Prix was on and I'm sick of it !
Grin

Donnadoon · 03/11/2014 13:44

I've got conjunctivitis and I can't see very well, my eyes are itchy and watery and stuck together in the mornings. Just got some ointment from the chemist though
Just wrapped a few Xmas presents too....go me !

FrantasticO · 04/11/2014 20:32

Aww poor wee you, you're having a crap time of it.
Hope your eyes clear up soon, you'll need them to keep up with the kids!

You're likely a bit run down with all the stress you have been under.
Be kind to yourself Mrs, you're doing a fab job.

Any news on an appointment yet?
Fingers crossed you hear on.

Get you wrapping presents...
Bet there are mounds of them to be wrapped for your brood!

Take care xx

Hiya
My eyes are itchy and sore and I'm struggling to see
I went docs today and he told me to go straight to eye casualty
Arghhhhh that place again !
I'm going in the morning
And while I'm there I'm going to chase up dds appointment
I scraped my wheel arch on our front wall this morning
I've done it to every. Single. Car. I've. Owned
But arghhhh! Not the boogie bus !
Pissed off . Can't see well enough to drive !
Got my sister over, got DH off tomorrow
But I got a big mallet Fran and knocked half the pissing wall down!
Raaaaaaah ! I feel better for that!
Thanks Fran Wine and sorry for swearing Blush
Xx

Donnadoon · 05/11/2014 23:33

I'm not de ranged honest, the wall was old and needed to be re pointed etc anyway, well it's going now, flippin thing!
I'm normally a good driver honestly
Grin
Hope you are all ok
Oh and I'm with you on the fireworks, we went to a display because ya feel ya should for the kids blah blah
But they are over rated , noisy, dangerous, expensive , I won't go on
Xx

FrantasticO · 06/11/2014 17:08

AWww!
Poor poor you!

How did you get on with your eyes?
Blardy hell you're not getting an easy ride of it at the moment.

The wall can be fixed, I know it's shit, but it's bricks.
You're boogie bus, I'm weeping with you.
It's sooooo fecking annoying when you prang the car.

I'm sooo not the best driver, been lucky and drive for miles to find the "right" parking space

You did make me laugh the way you described it though!
You have a talent, you're funny.

Hope you are home, that your poor gunged up eyes can see, that you got your lovely dds appointment and that your not down on yourself too much about the car.

Have cake.

Hugs x

How are you ?

Will you get another muttley? Probably far too soon and raw still to contemplate at the mo huh ?
I will always have one I think, he makes me feel safe because he barks at the door when it gets knocked.

My boy is home and back to coming in at midnight Grin oh to be young !
Back to sleeping with one ear open, til I hear him revving his old banger up the driveway coming home safe

Having a nice easy weekend here
Might get a curry tomorrow and enjoy strictly come dancing
Might take dd1 ice skating on Sunday afternoon while the sodding Grand Prix is on
