Lol, my hubby was in aldershot for 6 months, he did a medics course there. Their trying to send him there permanently as their desperate for medics but he's not up for goi g back

 

[PeanutBean]

lol pink no I've not mentioned those but DH had to change his clothes as often as Byron's nappy when he was a brand new baby! We thankfully seem to be moving past the willy fiddling bit. It was hilarious when he had thrush in his willy, it first got sore one evening and he stood up in the bath and said "sore" (fairly newly learnt) and pointed to his willy then tried to get DH to kiss it better pushing his head! I nearly died!

 

[pinkclaire]

that is so funny!!

 

[pinkclaire]

Tonight it doesn't matter how much I eat I am absolutely starving, i feel like I've got hunger pains I'm that hungry! My hubby wouldn't get me anything from the shop mesnie and I didn't dare go as my back is really bad tonight and didn't want to risk falling again. I've eaten everything in the house my bump has definitely grown though (hopefully not just fat!) even hubby mentioned it to me today without me saying anything!

Effing windows is broken AGAIN!!!!!!!!! AAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!

Worked perfectly yesterday. Didn't update, install or change anything and today it won't start. I have just had enough. I bought this stupid machine to save my broken pelvis by not having to sit in my uncomfortable computer chair that cripples me.

Mornjng girls

Lovely pram Molly, yay on the sleeping better Madcat

Peanut will your laptop not even boot properly now? Does it get so far and then hang or just not even start?

Happy new weeks Madcat, Peanut, Vbaby and me

 

[madcatwoman]

morning gilz, how are you feeling?, or is it too early to tell yet?

 

[PeanutBean]

I hadn't even realised it was new weeks!

Gilz it gets the blue screen when starting normally; restarts and gives startup repair option but that does nothing, gets as far as two progress bars, a black screen and eventually a big mouse pointer on the black screen and nothing. Tried safe mode, scrolls through the files then stops part way and gets stuck there.

I would obviously say that removal of AVG has stuffed up a system file except it worked absolutely perfectly yesterday and I didn't change anything so I don't see why that should suddenly not work now. The only thing not working yesterday was the Toshiba product update programme. I probably should've just uninstalled it.

I would really like to avoid having to do yet another complete restore. It was bad enough last time and I can't face having to remove Mcafee and all the crap yet again, reinstall all my programmes yet again, reinstall the millions of updates yet again. Sigh.

Going to stick the recovery disk in and see what happens. Might be able to do a repair from there but it depends how the disk works as it's not a Windows installation disk.

On top of all this I have a row brewing with my manager yet again as she's been asked to do a 5 year strategy for our team so instead of actually doing it she's told us we have to put it as one of our objectives and do a regional one each. Sorry but since when were strategies and long term plans not managerial responsibility? I'm doing the volunteering stuff and getting paid more to do it but I don't see them offering more money for this. And what's she going to do, crop together all our plans and pass it off as her own work? I just want a new effing job. I want to finish work NOW. I feel like going to the doctor with depression to get signed off. God knows i feel miserable enough about it all.

Sorry for the huge boring rant everyone...

 

[madcatwoman]

Your job is really starting to take its toll on you, you mentioned taking all your holidays early before mat leave, can y ou actually do this? and finish now and be done with it?.

you could also try the docs, tell him how ill you have been with this pregnancy, which doesnt really show any let up, tell him you cant carry you and see if he'll sign you off!!.

 

[gilz82]

Aw Peanut sounds like you are having a hellish morning. Hope the recovery disk helps gets things sorted. Did your laptop come with the full install disk of windows 7 or just the repair disk?

Madcat I feel slightly more human today my body is not just as sore, my sore teeth and my cough/sore throat are bothering me more now. I'm hoping that yesterday was the worst and I'm now on the road to recovery. I've got anomaly scan tomorrow and I'd really hate to miss that. Not going to mention that we know it's a boy so that they check again for me!!

Oh and incase anyone was interested in watching One Born Every Minute is back on next Monday night on channel 4.

 

[loopylollipop]

Morning..

nights done for now thank God. Finally got some sleep yesterday. Apparently my boss was busy all day yesterday stressing about the report he tried to dump on me

Gilz, hope this is signs of your recovery. Make sure you are fully well before returning to work. Take your docs advice. I have seen loads of people who rush straight back to work after flu and end up with another couple weeks off within a month cos they hadnt allowed themselves to get better first. And they werent growing a jellybean. Make sure you look after yourself and jellybean, otherwise you will put extra stress on an already stressed system. Please take care I know its hard when you are a real worker, and its hard to sit back and just allow yourself to be poorly

Yay to scans cant wait

 

[PeanutBean]

Well my GP is an option. I really don't want to take my holiday now and the earliest leave as it would mean returning to work in February next year. Might be ok if I have a new job but I thought that last time and employment chances are slimmer again now.

I at least feel less sick today than yesterday. Not great but not vomiting.

Haven't tackled the work issue, have emailed another colleague of mine to see what he thinks. Emailed one yesterday who agrees with me but is in a less vulnerable position that me given he's in his 60s and really doing the job for fun/interest. My other colleague is quite new and very nice and in the same sort of position as me (the only other full timer too) but I'm not sure how deeply he engages with these sorts of issues! lol Will see what he has to say.

Instead I've been tackling a bunch of other work issues which is good I guess. Had a very full inbox with very old emails I should've done something about weeks ago.

Glad you're improving gilz. Your body not feeling so bad must mean your temp has stabilised now so that's great news. I hope you get to go to your scan! But another day might have you feeling a whole to better. One would hope and assume that tamiflu will mean a quicker recovery as you're not doing all the fighting on your own.

 

[loopylollipop]

Peanut you have been suffering so much I am sure your GP would be sympathetic. Am I right in thinking though that if you take sick (pregnancy related) if it falls within the 11 weeks prior to delivery that you automatically start mat leave?

 

[PeanutBean]

I think it does trigger maternity leave so I couldn't be off more than 4 weeks! But I can't actually do this as I have to write my volunteering strategy. Not for my work's sake but for my own so I can say I've done it on my CV.

 

[pinkclaire]

Hello ladies, oooh fruit, anyone know what my week is? Lol

Gilz glad your feeling a bit better you poor thing!

Peanut use yout holiday now if you need it, it's what it's there for xxx

 

[gilz82]

Pinkclaire I think it's maybe a mango for week 19, I can't remember properly though.

Loopy when is your scan on Saturday, you must be super excited to see your little bean again oh and happy 20 wks

 

[loopylollipop]

Pink its a lovely mango. I have a melon yay

Gilz scan is at 09:30. Taking kids too so we can all find gender together. Feeling the movements has chilled me out as I know its ok and jiggling around. Cant wait to see bean again!! It going so fast now!
