    Mornin all

    Lou - (((hugs))). Good luck with everything and agree fully with everything Sammy said.
    Lucifa - progress indeed. Evie is fairly good at settling for sleep and naps but will be wide awake and wants to play (and gurgle and coo and yell loudly if I ignore her) at 5am:eek::eek:

    Nathan wakes at 4am and won't settle back to sleep before 8am at the earliest:eek:. I keep him for an hour then Hubbles takes over until 7am. Hopefully he'll grow out of that little habit:rolleyes:

    Morning all,

    Lou, massive :grouphug: - what a lot of cr*ppy things to be dealing with at once.

    Hope everyone has a good day - it's sunny here and I'm glad it's Friday!

    That has got to be hard work :eek: The good news is that Chloe slept in her own bed last night, although she was still awake when I went to bed, she stayed in her own bed.:j

    She is in a much better mood today too and I don't have to drag her out of bed anymore

    Massive (((hugs))) Lou, that's a lot to be coping with at once - don't apologise for getting things off your chest here silly - that's what friends are for.

    Huge hugs Lou - horrible things to be happening all at once. Praying for you all.

    When do babies start teething nowadays? Samuel wouldn't stop screaming yesterday and was really 'chomping' on his dummy. He slept ok though. He's a little star now - does 10.30pm - 7am!

    morning all -

    Lou, i wish there were something i could say or do to help... i hope getting it down on here and out of your head has helped somewhat....

    the letter - i'm sure given your valuable contribution that you are a strong candidate for the "new job". Is there a redundancy package for the "old job"..? every cloud n all that?

    bro - hugs and best of positive vibes for him. It's amazing what can be done these days, have faith in the NHS and the strong will of your brother to get well again (if he's anything as stubborn as you!!)

    the other thing - really not a big deal, and i doubt mike is even worried... it's not the be all and end all, but a barometer for life in general, noone can blame you for not feeling frisky when all of the above is going on..... and it will come back babes, for sure. as long as you've got love to keep you going you'll survive..!

    (((hugs)))




    i'm have a shedload of mother guilt this morning, sports day at school this morning and i am here, at work, doing not very much...... Erin was alright about my not being there but i am feeling guilty.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
    (it's part of my charm!)

    It is, but the trade off is I get a couple hours peace once he goes down in the morning to do a spot of housework, get some breakfast and ,most importantly, chat with my DFW buddies:D

    Hey Snaggles, how's the excitement levels? :D

    I was thinking about you this morning, did you make any more progress with Ryan's school? I seem to have lost track!
