Well my crappy day seems to be going downhill fast...

Hubby had his interview... But it was nothing like he expected, sounds more like a personality test than an interview... Apparently all scores will be added up to find out who stays and who goes... And if there's any matching scores then attendance and punctuality will be taken into account... So no actual checking on how well people do their jobs, just how well they can answer random questions...

And my Aunt had her results from her mastectomy and the cancer was in her lymph nodes which means full on chemo and radiotherapy.. Injections in her stomach and 5 years on tamoxifen... Oh, and her husband might be sent to work abroad until christmas too...

And I just broke my nack getting the living room and hallway clear, clean and tidy for tonight and then realised how disgusting the kitchen is... I can barely let the cats eat in there, let alone doing food for the family... And hubby hasn't scooped any poop since Sunday so the place stinks of cat poop...

I'm just sitting here crying....

Aww ((Krystal)). Sounds like an awful day. Do you have anything nice and tasty you can take to eat in the bath? That sometimes makes me feel better.

Sadly no... And I have a house full of people from 7:30 tonight... I'd cancel... But I've not hosted a single house group since I got pregnant... And I used to do it every time before...

Perhaps give one of the guests a call and ask them to pick up a tub of icecream on the way! I would post you my emergency icecream, but I don't think it'd really be in an eatable state when I get there.

I can understand a bit how you feel. Before I got pregnant, I was secretary for my local AA group. That meant I opened the hall, set it all up and did all the talky stuff. I managed till December, and it almost killed me, but I still felt so guilty for resigning. Would you be able to contribute in a different way maybe? Don't know how the structure is, or if that is possible?

Right back from London - just caught up on the posts so will answer a few of them first... Anyone I don't write anything too - I've probably read your posts, but promptly managed to misfile something in the pregnant brain...

Caz if being a screamer in the bedroom is anything to go by I'll probably be extreemly quiet giving birth :rotfl:

Krystal - get ya butt over to the DFW board and let us help you out with the O2 issue - DON'T call the collectors and DON'T pay anything till you have posted on DFW...

Sami - Again - get on the DFW and we'll help you with some letter templates and some fancy wording. There is a magic line which I find works wonders - something along the lines of :"and if you try to chase me/us for a debt that isn't mine/ours again legal action will be taken against you personally and your company for harassment"... I've only ever had one DCA chase me (wrongly) and I think the poor chap probably decided to change his career afterwards... NEVER try and get money of someone who doesn't owe it and who knows more about the laws and rules governing debt collection and data protection than you do... smucks

Moc - Sorry to hear about the marital problems... My stepdad is an alcoholic and you need to stay strong. He went to a place to recover but after 3 months home relapsed... I wonder how he will react when he realises that any access to my daughter will be extreemly limited until he's sober I know mum won't leave him so I don't interfere because it would only cause her mroe stress... if she ever decides to leave my door will be open should she need it...

Shelvis - Bubs will be fine - infact morning sickness is a sign that baby is very firmly attached and doing well so please don't worry. I was sick up until about 18 weeks and that included a 2 night stay in hospital on a drip due to dehydration and not keeping anything down including water. My ketones were at ++++ - the highest they can go - you shouldn't have ANY in your urine let alone 4 +s...
Even whilst on a drip there was never any concern that the baby wouldn't be ok - the baby will get everything it needs from your body so don't worry too much easier said than done I know...



London trip... well that was a waste of time! Nothing she couldn't have asked over the phone to be honest. No actual examination at all, just a bunch of questions. She drafted the letter to work basically saying everything I already have... adding that all pregnancies are different and the only person who can determine how much driving I can do or cope with is ME... Because I'm the one going through it.
She did shake her head at them making such a fuss for the sake of 3-4 weeks (which if I get my annual leave is what is left) and agreed it would be easier if they would just work with me to come to an arrangement for that time especially as I WANT to be at work to tie up the loose ends and do handovers etc...
So 6 hours on the go for her to write a letter saying what I have said all along... ARGH! AND I'm going to hurt tomorrow, I can feel it already
So that was my very (HA!) exciting trip to London...

Gonna do a little tidying in a min and then have a bath. DH is at the bone cruncher but has agreed to cook dinner when he gets home (yay!) so am going to just chill - early night tho... these 5am starts are hard work! :rotfl:

Krystal I can feel for you about your aunts bad news My uncles wife got told earlier this week that her brain tumor has grown again and there is nothing more they can do... they are stopping chemo Mum is devastated as is my uncle and the kids. His wife has just given up after being told - it's taken away her spirit and she just doesn't want to fight any more... I'll be surprised if she makes it to the summer in all honesty

It's tough but at least for your aunt there is still hope Make sure they remember that

Thanks for the Ice cream offer FG, I've told hubby to pic up a box of chocs under the guise of offering them to the ladies tonight... But seeing as they're always on weightwatchers... Or just being typical women... I know they won't get eaten so I plan to thoroughly enjoy them after everyone's gone... Thankfully I only host which means everyone comes here and I make the tea... Someone else puts together the plans on how the evening will go so at least I don't have to think about that too... And I do enjoy it, and it gives me an excuse to hoover at least once a fortnight... Just think it could be a better day than today really...

Tine, thanks for the advice... I'm going to talk to hubby properly about it and get the full picture then I post on DFW And I knw there's every chance that with chemo etc my aunt will make a full recovery... It's just she's my best friend too (was MOH at my wedding) and has two little boys 9 & 4 and I just don't want any of them to have to go through it all... And she's 40 miles away in the middle of the countryside so I can't even pop over to help...
