  • Its a very difficult situation to be honest. I've got Jaimee and lou, and then met jase and i caught really quickly with Mia, but it was such a nightmare pregnancy that we said we would maybe consider one more in about 5years or so. Mia was 11 weeks early and the thought of going through all that again just turns my stomach. I honestly dont think im strong enough to go through all that again so soon, Amelia is going to be one on monday.


    our baby girl was born 12 weeks prem and was a tiny 2lbs after her first week, i know what you went through, i also had a ruff time with it, i had hyperemisis and lost nerly 3 stone OMG lol, with our situation now i doubt i will ever have another xxx

    getting far too cheeky pinching 5 mins for myself, just had OH chewing my ear off (worse than i make out) for 2 hours with nothing sinking in, so im letting him nag to his mum for an hour!!! someone mentioned compensation............. unfortunatly its not as simple as that with a traumatic brain injury........we are talking years before the offer would be made due to the recovery involved. Fed up ladies what else can i say theres just so many problems but yet i dont know where to start........... keep smiling girlies;)

    all doing sooo well with flying, i managed to get 5 mins to wash the pots earlier xxx

    I know its late - have had a busy day and I needed to run through the thread first before I posted,

    I had a message from natty earlier today and sadly Fred the lodgercat didnt make it - he had cancer. Natty has arranged for him to be cremated and she is going to scatter his ashes in her garden.

    She is bound to be very upset and I suspect we might not see her here for a day or two.

    Peace will be mine

    Thanks Toots - I'm hoping DH will pull his weight when he comes back on saturday. Well I've told him he needs to do more if I'm going to get the time to do the course, so we have to work together. I dunno if it sunk in but he's gonna get a shock! Next week (except Friday) he is taking the kids to school and picking them up every day!!! He cant do Friday cos he is at college for his first day! Gonna have to make him a packed lunch!!! Feels like sending another child to school. Unfortunately cant get free school meals for him lololol. Right off to bed for me, too much to do tomorrow!!!

    Night all xxx
