Andan,i am sory the pamper evening was not as sucessful as you planed. Its such a shame as you went to a lot of effort. But as you said,its a learning cuve and i am glad OH was there for support.
Fay,sending hugs to you,i hope the walk on the beach helped to lift you a bit.
Sophiesmum,hope DD is ok.
Pipsmum,hiope aiden feels better soon.0 -
Thanks cassey,
DD is fine just very bruised and a sore shoulder luckily she was wearing a body protector and hardhat or it could have been much worse. Taking her to gym with me later she can sit in the jacuzzi and relax the muscles -should help a little.
Pipsmum - hope pip feels better soon, nothing worse than a snuffly unsettled baby.0 -
Don't know if anyone follows the chat thread, but I walked out of my job today. Feel liberated because of it, but also realise it was a bit silly coz the new job doesn't start for a few weeks. However, in saying that, I have plans to keep myself ticking over for now and I just couldn't stand one more second in there.Not an expert, but I try and contribute and I'll always listen. Middle child of middle child parents. I drink way too much coffee.
