OS Daily Thread - Saturday 3rd October

Hi Guys,
Tired Mum - Im so sorry about your son. As a mum of four teenagers, I have skirted around mental health issues for the past few years as my eldest DS has ADHD and my daughter has an eating disorder and has suffered from depression after being bullied at school. Its a shame that it takes a crisis to get help - they waited ages to get input. I cant understand why there are not the resources out there. Anyway I hope that you are feeling more calm.

Im also having an argument with myself about the Cervical smear vaccine as DD is on catch up programme. Having had a CIN 3 smear and loop diathermy at the age of 21 :eek: Im quite pro but obviously dont want to harm her. I often think that had I not had an early smear it would have gone undetected and then only knows. I hope that early smears are brought back - thankyou Jade Goodey for bringing it to our attention.

I have been to my group today and found it helpful but really tiring. Im tired though as DS (13) has a really bad ear infection so have been up with him for the past two nights. he was sleepwalking last nigh into DD room and started to pee in the corner. I was woken by her screams which agitated him as he was asleep. Took ages to settle both DS and DD.

I have made progress on my pay and managed to get it reinstated but had to email my matron's manager and HR manager. But the persistance has paid off/ I have been badly treated and they have acknowledged this now. Still really stressful but am pleased that I managed to affect the progress.

OS - well Ive managed some baking which Im really pleased about. Im going to Costco tomorrow to stock my freezer up and my kids dad is doing a carboot next week as we have had a chnage around and sort out of kids bedrooms.

Hugs to those that need it,
Love Mollyx

Hi Guys!

TiredMum-Hugs

Have had a lovely day:j:j:j:j My friend came and stayed for a few hrs, ended up having some lunch with me so OH & DD could go into town for a few bits DD needed before going to friends. We caught and had a good chinwag...lovely!...then OH had got me a HUGE bunch of sunflowers which must be about 2 foot tall:eek::eek::eek::eek:

DD went out then OH and I had a cuppa in the garden. He is in the middle of putting a concrete slope out there as the step is too big and I could use the scooter if needed out there. May put a railing down the side of the house so I can grab it. We need to do the back garden with new fencing etc but know its going to be dear. Then OH made dinner of cheesy mash, petit pois and sirloin....it was delish and I ate it all:D

Washing dried well outside and OH has offered to do an hr of ironing whilst I watch a Cracker which I havent watched in years.

I have ordered a few bits from Abel & Cole again for this week as I needed to make the order to £10 for delivery, so I have the Shepherds Pie pie (FREE), onionx x 2, carrots, 4 x greek yogurts, 6 organic eggs, pork rolled joint 1.5kg, 4 cheese scones and some milk...total £13 inc delivery:j:j:j..there is 5-6 meals there is I use the eggs for 2 lots of egg and chips and the pork will s-t-r-e-t-c-h to 3 meals and the scones another with some soup.

Hope all is well.

Afternoon all!

Slightly grey and damp here today, but dry at the mo. Nipped into town this morning, dd1 needed some oil pastels so picked those up for her, found a nice skirt in Next, but resisted as off to Bristol to do a spot of Christmas shopping next week, and there is a huge new Primark there, so no doubt will find something similar for a lot less pennies! Did pop into a material shop with the idea of whipping one up myself, but the cost would've been more than the Next version! However, also browsed in the window of another material and knitting shop and they run craft classes, so I'm hopefully going to pop along next week, I'm so excited!

OS stuff has been a little limited as I'm at oh's this weekend, have done washing and ironing though and hoovered, only fair really as he took my car to a mechanic mate of his to have new tyres put on it, was a totally bargain price and oh paid too!

Lunch was baked pots with hm chilli from the freezer from a couple of weeks ago - I knew that there was a point to stocking up his freezer with hm stuff!

Dinner will be either a creamy mushroom and garlic pasta bake or a risotto, depending on how long I want to stand by the hob!

Tonight we are off out to a party thrown by some Spanish girls, once again there will be lots of different nationalities and I shall wish I could speak more than a bit of French and a tiny smatter of German - when dd3 moves up to middle school and I return to working days I think I shall look at classes.

Hope everyone has had a good day and has a lovely evening, will have a quick catch up now with a coffee methinks xx

Evening everyone
Many thanks for all your good wishes we have been to see Ds at Rochford he is in the adolescent ward and we were met by 2 lovely psychologists/psychiatrists who had spent the morning talking to DS they chatted to us about things and said that he had basically said everything we had they are pleased that he self admited as he deffinatly needed help and we will deffinatly get the support that he needs as well as support for the rest of the family They also said that under no circumstances should he return to the present school and they will support our efforts to move him they also said that they had come across the school before and they had problems with them he may well be released on mon but there will be loads of things put in place to support us all it is such a shame that it has come to this.
Thank you all once again for the good wishes and i will keep you updated

Tired mum - hope your DS gets the help and support he needs. Hugs to you xx

DS is really upset after staying at granny's last night. He's tired (due to the unsettled night he had) and he's been in floods of tears at bedtime as he was acting as though we were going to leave him. Poor sod
Having HM cajun chicken burger and wedges for tea. Tummy rumbling as I am starving. Might treat myself to a beer too.
Sweet dreams everyone

Welcome Dogcat - hope you enjoy it over here!
Tired Mum - I'm glad you and your DS is getting the help he needs.
Hugs and stuff to everyone.

Work wasn't too bad -he is still making comments about various people - am thinking of making a diary of all comments - but then he hasn't said anything about me and he wouldn't dare cos I'd have him over a barrell straight away!

Anyway am enjoying X-factor, a large glass of wine and snuggles with OH.

Night all
