Thanks guys.

Craftymum - I know someone will come along eventually. Its just sooo hard to stay positive when all your previous relationships have in some way, been controlling or abusive. And how the hell do you meet someone when all you do is work and look after your child? :(
 
Craftymum ~ DS was 18 months before he got the urge to walk, and DD was up and away about 10/11 months ish... I really wouldn't worry, they are all different and special in their very own way! :thumbup:

LK ~ I hope you get things sorted with the bank! Don't let your ex belittle you or try to control you... You don't need it nor deserve it! As long as you are doing right by LO he can swizzle! :hugs: Rant over...

My day started of normal, DS off to school, OH to bed, DD and I did our chores in time for JK :coffee:and then! BANG CLATTER BANG from my old kitchen. (I thought it was a cat where a cat shouldn't be) I was so so wrong :nope:...

My ceiling had fallen down, dust crap and water everywhere!?!?! I ran upstairs woke OH up, he thought I was joking... Ahhh What's happened... I'm stood there thinking "No, Not this too!" :growlmad::dohh::growlmad: an hour later... OH back in bed zzing...:sleep:

Bloody toilet cistern fittings have rusted, so water's seeping down the waste piping... So we've a huge blanket behind/under cistern... Seeping stopped now, been and got the inners and new fittings.:dohh:.. OH is going to have to fix it tomorrow and the ceiling can dry out until after we've been away... When did you last check yours???:haha:
 
Morning all,

Fraggles: it may have already been answered but Chloe got her MMR in the leg. Hope it goes okay today for N :flower: That was really sweet of him sharing his teddy with J :D

LK: :hugs: Sorry to hear he is still continuting to be a complete and utter **** and has done that to you. Banks are bloomin' useless too. I hope you can get everything sorted and in reagards to seeing James, like he gave a damn before really, he can swivvel! :hugs: :hugs:

CraftyMum: Hope the bleeding stops soon so you can get sorted. My colleague has just started on iron tables and they are making her feel awful too so I guess they can't be helping you feel any better either even if they are. Madness isn't it :hugs: Hope the doc says everything is fine with Jacob if you do go, it must still be worrying even if its normal :hugs: :flower:

Eswift: Oh my word! Not exactly what you needed at all. At least no one was in the room at the time! :flower: :hugs:

Well my sis text me this morning asking what a plug was like so sounds like she has lost hers and contractions are coming about every 20 mins. Sounds like little nephew has made a start on his arrival :thumbup:
 
Kte ~ sounds good on the sister front!?!?! Tell her "Get a move on!"

As for the ceiling, OH & I had a giggle saying it's a good job his Mum hadn't have been in there... That would have been so funny... Wicked I know...
 
Happy Friday :)

Anyone have exciting plans this weekend? Not much going on here- I wish I did though since it is a long weekend. I always feel like I'm not taking advantage of having the extra day off if we aren't out doing something special. Hubby is talking about taking Emma to an indoor play area- we were going to check out some of the Winterlude events (kinda like a winter festival that happens here every winter) but the weather hasn't exactly cooperated. It's 10 degrees and rainy so all the snow slides, ice sculptures and canal have melted. My back garden still has lots of snow, but the areas where the kids play are slowly turning to mud- I can't decide if we are going to go outside to play today. Emma has turned into a little snow bunny, always going to the front door, trying to put on her boots and hat (she can nearly always get the hat on by herself now) and handing me her snowsuit so it'll be a long day if we can't go out and play.

Not much else going on here- I've been adding to my list of old lady hobbies and teaching myself to knit better :haha: I've been able to do basic stuff for a while, just experimenting with learning new stuff- of course Emma is the recipient of all my efforts. Emma is getting much better at actually doing stuff that I ask her to do- I'm sure she's understood for a while now but now if I ask her to put her books back on the shelf, etc., she actually does it. I'm hoping that the day where she can clean up her own mess is in sight, lol :) At least the messes at mealtimes are at a minimum now- she's mastered the fork and spoon and is able to get them from the bowl to her mouth without dripping. Of course it seems like just when Emma's mess decreases, one of her little friends starts to make more of a mess than usual- can't win :dohh:

Kte- That's exciting :) Hope your sister has a fast and easy labour!

Eswift- I hope no other disasters befall you today :flower:

Fraggles- N sounds super cute with the teddy :) I hope his MMR went okay today. They did Emma's in her arm- like someone else said, I really think it depends on the doctor. Ours said that Emma was big enough to start getting jabs in the arm but one of her little friends who is bigger than her still gets them in the leg :shrug:

LK- :hugs: Sorry to hear fob is being an idiot, especially with everything else you've had on your plate lately :hugs:

Craftymum- I hope Jacob's appt goes well :flower: The dd of a friend of mine didn't walk until she was 19months- was too busy working on other skills too :) I hope the iron/coil sorts you out soon- I'm sure it can't be too fun being tired all the time :hugs:

Colsy- Sounds like a busy time- hope you have a nice visit with all your guests :flower:

Sorry if I missed anyone :flower: Hope everyone is well :hugs:
 
Morning girls. James slept pretty well. Only one fall out of bed and slept til 6.30am when he decided he was going to stand at the gate and bang on it with the cap from his bottle. Been trying to clean my house cos got another mummy from here coming over for coffee at 2pm and James thought it was absolutely hilarious to go around after me undoing everything I did. Thankfully he has gone to sleep now so going to have a mad hour making sure its all sorted and getting down James's bouncer chair as her little boy is only 2 months old. Catch you all later.

Making welcome home banners later as my parents and sister are finally home from Australia after 5 whole weeks on Sunday!! :happydance:
 
LK: Have a nice time when they come over today :flower: Bet it's going to be nice having your parents/sister back again.

Kaites: Shame about the weather ruining the fun. Not many plans here, the usual cleaning. Possibly visiting sister or possiby breaking news to inlaws!

Hoping it's speedy for her too! If he makes an appearence this weekend my parents are going to take Chloe and me up to see them as otherwise the next day we could make it is next Thursday as Nij is working again all week from tomrrow. COnsidering she was there with Nij when I was wheeled into recovery it seems wrong I can't be there earlier :dohh:
 
Hellooooo :hi:

Jabs brought tears but they were soon forgotten. Jab in each arm and bloody all down my hoodie . Also had a DRs appointment for J and they thik he ha rteflux so we have to start on infant gaviscon to see if that helps. He's also got a touch of jaundice AGAIN (third time since birth)
 
Well we've had a lovely afternoon. Sarah is lovely and was nice to see another mummy!

Fraggles - James was on infant gaviscon for a while. Brilliant stuff. Takes a while to dissolve though.
 
My one handed typing needs improving :rofl: Going to try the gaviscon on the next feed. It looks like lots of faffing with BF the Dr did say I could dissolve in milk but J isn't on enough milk the pack says dissolve in 115ml but he doesn't take anywhere near that from a bottle.

How long did James need the Gaviscon for?
 
He was on it for about 2 months while I persuaded the dr to put him on the lactose free milk. On NICU we used to dissolve 1 sachet of gaviscon in 5mls water and then give them a certain amount based on how much milk they were on. Something like 1ml gaviscon per 25mls milk. It should say on the packet instructions for breast feeding.
 
Hi everyone!!

Well what a day!?!

I had an interview for a job in town today - would have been great but then at the interview they said that they could only offer me a min. 16 hour a week contract and the wage is NMW so I really cannot afford to take that kind of hit. The manager really wanted me as actually said 'we want you to work here' and I did well in the assessments, but I just cannot justify it :cry:

I'm on my own this weekend - hubby is off to Ireland tomorrow morning, and he's not back until Tuesday. I guess it will give me a taste of what a single mum puts up with, but I'm really looking forward to having some time to myself, as much as I would love to be going with him!

AF arrived today too so I've been a bit worse for wear....at least we definitely wont be getting an Earl mkII :haha:

Hope we're all good and have fab weekends. I'm not sure how much I'll be on this weekend. Got a lot of jobs to do while hubby is away, although I can see my evenings being a bit lonely lol :blush:
 
Sounds like a lot of 'suckiness' going on for everyone right now; hope things pick up soon for you ladies! :hugs:
 
Its snowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nephew arrived 11pm last night, lucky sis having sucha speedy labour but then again she had such a crappy pregnancy she deserved something to go well!

Chloe is a moaning minnie today and its driving me mad. She has this habit at the moment of wanting to stick her hand into my drink, no substitute will do, and if I won't let her its scream scream scream :wacko:

I'm supposed to be cleaning but she is doing what James did to LK the other day and creating more mess behind my back so I am giving in already! I may be more motivated later on who knows.

May be off to visit nephew if parents are able to take me but I feel kinda bad as its the opposite direction to pick me up adding a good hour onto their journey. Otherwise it will be next week when Nij gets a day off. Plus their is this issue of the snow . . . !
 
I'm jealous Kte! I want some snow lol. We have drizzle. Congratulations on the birth of your nephew. Does he have a name? How much did he weigh? James is being a pain in the butt today also. I've put him in his room now cos he was crushing biscuits into the floor!!

Going to be a busy busy day today. Everyone is home tomorrow from Australia so I have been making welcome home banners for both houses. I am waiting for SIL to get up and then I'm off over to my parents house to help give it a good clean ready for them to come home, putting up the banner. Then we are off to my sisters house to make sure the builders havn't made a complete mess (they were having a new boiler fitted while they were away), taking over bread and milk so they have the basics and don't have to go shopping immediately, and also hanging their banner. All with a stinking headache which I can't shift.
 
LK: I'm sure they will be totally appreciative of all the lovely effort you have gone to to welcome them back :flower: Hope the headache shifts.

Chloe is also in her room, she is having a nap now, hopefully she will wake up in a much better mood!

Oops yes, details! They have named him William he has the middle names George Robert and there is another one but I can't remember without seeing the text and my phone is upstairs :dohh: Weiged in at 8lbs 10oz! Everything went well minus him deciding being born was hard work and it was a good time to fall asleep for a nap at the crucial time of her being fully dilated and all things supposedly a go, so they had to help speed things up again! She is over the moon and we are able to go up and visit tomorrow so I can't wait!
 
Congratulations on your new nephew Kte - I hope he and your sis are doing well! :thumbup:
