santaslittlebumper · 05/12/2007 21:00

hang on.....wanders off singing "swing low...."

susiecutiemincepies · 05/12/2007 21:04

hey guys, these bloody bugs, they are just horrible. how dare they invade our little ones tiny bodies.

katy sounds like your DD is going through what Isobel did. I do hope it gets easier for her soon.
give her a cuddle from us thanks for the info on the SF... i've been snacking on fruit today, and drinking lots of tea.

polly Decorations hey??? Wow, brilliant! I am not thinking about mine til we are stettled in down there in the basement! Cnat wait ot have it all looking nice then putting up the decs, will make it really feel like home.

MLF I think lack of sleep has alot to answer for. its bloody awful. plays havoc with emotions, pain everything. I can really empathise with you. I dont have any specific problem, but i get SO down when i'm this tired. Between Isobel waking with her various ailments at the moment, and me waking with my back and hip pain, i dont get an awful lot. I have dreams of Mr C getting up to her over christmas and new year... but i reckon they are just dreams!

Jahan sounds like your diet is going really really well, well done you! as for the nork swinging... I'll let someone else explain!!!

I've been really good today food wise. So pleased with myself.
breakfast: Slim Fast
lunch: Slimfast
Dinner: ham sandwich
snacks: banana, mango, some jelly belly beans. cups of tea no sugar.

oh, do I have tot admit to the mince pie and the very large mug of hot milk with baileys I had at 3am, whilst up with baby girl?

pollywollybauble · 05/12/2007 21:07

well susie you appear to have admitted to them three times in a row!

pollywollybauble · 05/12/2007 21:09

Jahan....the nork swing was a group motivating excercise (when it was a bit warmer) involving us all being starkers at 8am and swinging our norks to the east then the west to the tune of swing low sweet chariot.....seemed to work ,,,perhaps we could have a clothed one....

pollywollybauble · 05/12/2007 21:21

well i talked a good game but i'm still on half speed with these new meds so there is still a heap of deccie boxes in the living room , might try and get the tree up tonight

cuddles to all the buggy babies and adults...

mylittlepud you must have done something right to remain as stable as you have done postnatally....badger dh for as much help as you can get, if he's ok healthwise he'll bounce back whilst you haven't got as much slack i guess....putting yourself first doesn't come naturally tho' does it.....i like the sound of your gp

right food,
brekkie....fruit and fibre
mids...cappuccino
lunch...tuna and salad sarnie. bite of cheesecake
eve.....trout,potatoes,broccolli,carrots, courgettes shredded and stirred in a bit of butter. pineapple

santaslittlebumper · 05/12/2007 21:22

i found the thread but can't get it too link aaaarrrgh.it was v.funny though,i was giggling reading it over,i was katybumpinthenight then.the new improved santaslittlebumper would never flash her norks in public(i have woolly knitted nipple tassles for the winter months!)
susiecutiewell done with sticking with slimfast,i do find i crave solid food occasionally but if fruit isn't doing it for me i munch on a bread stick

susiecutiemincepies · 05/12/2007 21:40

about the triple post! how does that happen?

I hope I can stick to it again tomorrow, it makes me feel so much better to feel a bit more in control of it all!

Feeling really down now. Just had email from my big sister. She also is bipolar and very unstable at the moment. going from hypermanic to very depressed at alarming rates.

They started her on Lithium a few weeks back, but seems still no where near a therapeutic level.
Just SO worried abut her. Her eldest son is also having tough time at school. Hes never been naughty, he SO clever and academically is doing amazingly well. However, recently he has been really really badly behaved at school and has been exlcuded twcice.

He's at a grammar school and I think they are having a zero tolerance on it. I cant help thinking he's reacting to whats going on at home. I feel so helpless and wish they were all nearer so I could help them more. I just want to cuddle my sister, but she wont even talk on the phone to me now.

Also, just had long talk with DH. He was going to start looking for work back here in less than 6 months. Seems it will not be the best thing to do for his career, and ulitimately for us really. He is in the middle of studying to make his qualifiaction 'chartered' and something else too. It is much better for him to be in a permanent job, with a good work history to get into the association of what ever it is he's workng towards...( embarrassed to say i'm not sure what he what he told me about it, all went over my head a bit! ) so no real way he can leave before he's accepted. Just feel so desperate now. I had hoped we were looking at less than 6 months. seems unlikely now. So upset. dont know what to do...

Really sorry to go on about me again girls. I just needed to off load a bit. I am SO sorry.

good news is, i've not reached for ANY chocolate or food though!

Jahan · 05/12/2007 21:49

Aah, I see. I'm afraid I can't swing mine. Sounds painful. Bfing a 2 month old means that my norks are usually, ahem, rather solid. I'll probably be able to join you in a few months time
(God, the state of norks after children and bfing. Sigh)

Susie - I think we can let you off. Are you sure you had it? May have been dreaming it.

Well done to all of you. Its great to see that you all are doing so well. Very positive.

santaslittlebumper · 05/12/2007 22:27

susie > you know where we are if you need us and don't ever apologise for ranting,we are in this together

santaslittlebumper · 05/12/2007 22:28

jahan mine got longer pmsl hence the song

santaslittlebumper · 06/12/2007 07:00

I NEED SOME SLEEP!

mylittlepudding · 06/12/2007 07:37

SO DO I!!!

santaslittlebumper · 06/12/2007 08:12

have you had the same night as me mylittlepudding?i should have lost at least a stone this week judging by how many times i have gotten in and out of bed and walking up and down with a poorly baby

susiecutiemincepies · 06/12/2007 15:10

hiya girls

Had a little bit of sleep last night. Compared with the last week or two, it felt like a lot, I know it wasn't though!

i had the cleaner round today. She's really really un-reliable, and doesnt turn up every week. I think she's just over strectched herself. I had to explain to her today, that its not a luxury to me, but an absolute necessity. not sure her english was quite up to it though! still at least I tried!

Today:
Slimfast x2
snacks : shortbread finger but it was heavenly!
satsuma.
Dinner: not sure, maybe cod in butter sauce and mash pots and broccoli. What do you guys think abut that? not too bad? ? answers on a postcard please.

Hope you are all doing well today, And if not, theres always tomorrow, or, the day after!

(((((((((((hugs )))))))))))) to all of you, just for being so lovely.

( I realise its not normally done round here, but, i wanted to, ok? )

santaslittlebumper · 06/12/2007 16:11

i like hugs virtual or otherwise
i think your dinner sounds really nice! i want that too.
dd a little better today so made it to ds2 nativity.he was a king and he was great
he wanted to be the innkeeper so was abit miffed when he was a king but he played the part like a true pro.i didn't cry but i am so proud of him

2 x slimfast here too and what susiecutie is having for dinner.i'll be there about 6ish and i take 1 sugar in coffee

mylittlepudding · 06/12/2007 16:14

I think so, Katy - surely we should burn more calories just from being awake so many hours. DP has just finished nights, he has slept more than me AT WORK lately. DD not especially poorly, it's only a cold, but she is really unhappy with it.

Today:
breakfast wholemeal toast and flora.
Not really had any appetite since.

Hoping things get better sleepwise all round soon!

fedda · 06/12/2007 16:56

Hi, girls. Breakfast - poriage with a spoon of honey and grapes. 10:30 - a cup of cofee with honey and dried appricots. Lunch - shop bought tomato and chanky veg soup - the whole pack and an apple. Dinner - home made first time tandori chicken (please, wish me good luck)

santaslittlebumper · 06/12/2007 16:58

good luck

fedda · 06/12/2007 17:00

Oh, thank you!

pollywollybauble · 06/12/2007 21:17

evening all,
i've joined the poorly babies, have got lady-flu (the one where you have horrible symptoms but struggle on having dosed yourself up on everything available) dh sent me back to bed (lovely man.....sorry if you lovely sleep deprived ladies didn't want to hear that.....)am now wondering whether being zonked was this bug coming on rather than the meds as i took last night and couldn't sleep!

what does dh do that he sleeps at work mylittlepud......can we play 5 guesses....mine would be fireman.....if he sleeps at work he can stay awake at home while you have a nap

mmm fedda tandoori....i love tandoori fish but have never made it (we live a couple of miles from balti heaven so i buy it and freeze it)

well done little santaslittlehelper on his starring role....dd is a (very sparkly, woollies fairy dress) angel next week. We were reading the xmas story yesterday ....she wanted to know if the writer had got the story from her play

susiec don't waste away too quickly! btw lifes too short for a crap cleaner (not that i have one now i've retired) get a new one....

foodwise
4 crumpets, lots of tea, semolina...

fedda · 06/12/2007 21:37

Poor you, pollywollybauble, I hope you feel better tomorrow after a good rest. I feel under the weather since yesterday. Tandori was a success according to DH. Kids weren't interested though but unfortunately we often have to ccok their food separately anyway, this time they joined though for rice with eggs and pappadoms. I've never tried to make tandori fish, must be lovely. In Indian restaurant i tend to have chicken curry (sometimes lamb curry). I love Indian food. This recipy was easy to make - you marinade the chicken the night before and the next evening all you need to do is bake it for 45 minutes turning from time to time. I served it with rice (for DH) and salad with tomatoes, peppers and coriander with a squize of lime.
