    I've just been sent home from work. Went in fine this morning but had a wobble in the middle of the classroom but it didn't go away for more than 30 mins. Happened in bed last night whilst lying down, my head felt really strange. Doctor says its an virus of the inner ear but I just wondered if anyone else has had a balance or vision problems as I has terrible problems with my eyes at the beginning of this pregnancy. Also thought that all the stress at work can't be helping. I have rung the midwife.
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    apparently preg can cause dry eyes that can make vision blurry, I get that every now and then but only lasts a few seconds and goes when I blink lots to get my tears going.
    some people have mention a type of migraine also that effects vision but I can't remember the name of it :doh: migraines are also more common in preg (what isn't!) HTH

    Not having a good day... The dry heaves are back... The house is a dog hole and the in laws are coming tomorrow... Hubby didn't empty the dishwasher... Which is only a little things... But it's one of 2 jobs he has... The other is putting the washing away... Which I seem to do an awful lot of... It's starting to get on my nerves a bit but whenever its mentioned all I get is 'I go to work' which he thinks absolves him from any other household duty :(

    Hope you feel better soon, Krystal!
    My DH doesn't do a thing around the house!! He even leaves his shoes and suit jacket downstairs in the dining room and expects me to take them upstairs and put them away:mad: He quite often can't even manage to put his plate etc in the dishwasher either. When I had my CVS with this one I had made and frozen sandwiches for the bigger ones for school and they had to then tell him what else they needed in their lunchboxes. I also made sure the ironing was basically up straight, meals planned - with food in. I made sure I basically had 3 days of rest - but had to work damn hard beforehand and afterwards to do so :(

    aww Greent bless you! I complain about my hubby but he can look after himself and Chris when necessary (he just chooses to make me do it most of the time :rolleyes:)

    Ps. if anyone needs some shoe news check out the office sale, I didn't think they'd have much left in sz5 but theres tonnes, I just need an excuse to buy them now!

    My OH doesn't want me to go back to work after. He loves it when I'm home. As we both work all week I nag him at weekends to help, which he does. He always said he liked growing up and his mums job being there to look after him, his brother and dad. Great.

    Anyone ever tried just leaving everything and seeing what happens, I did manage for 2 days but couldn't do it any longer.

    OH doesn't help out much at home, but I'm lucky in that he doesn't complain. We've managed to strike a balance - I do as much as I can, and anything I don't do, doesn't get done! He is happy to eat his sandwiches out of a cereal bowl if I've not managed to wash up!

    Mine does that, also points out how messy other peoples houses are compared to ours. Doesn't seem to get that his 2 hours on a Saturday that he does help are only the tip of the iceberg. Since he's been made to clean a bathroom he will come back from his friends and say 'Well their toilet was terrible, they don't clean around the edges very well!

    yep! took 3 days of over flowing sink and bin but thats all he sorted, dust on surfaces and crumbs on the floor are invisible to my OH!

    Any of you ladies know whats good for protecting leather hand bags? I still haven't used my bargain clarks one coz I don't want to get it wet or scratched:o the only thing i have is shoe spray but thought that maybe a cream would be better :confused: do i need to use cream before I start using the bag?

    sorry for being off topic!
