SB - I used to work at Pizza Hut, so have had takeaway pizza from there many times... not recently though. Now whenever I go there i end up complaining. Working there has obivously left me with very high standards.

Hi all
I'm not good today, Ryry had a marathon screamathon last night, 2.5 hours of it! just as I was about to go to bed.
Then he was really hot this morning to I was waiting for docs to cell when he fell and bashed his mouth, god there was so much blood, he only fell from an all 4's position, but it seemed that is was where his 4th tooth was coming through that got cut.
So I took him down A&E who said he's got a viral and ear infection, I got my eye seen to aghain as this morning it was so swollen, they gave me some diferent drops so hopefully this will do the trick cos it's all getting me down.

I'm also waiting for the housing from the next town to get in contact, I'm trying to get a move there, but they are trying to dig their heels in, so got SHELTER and the domestic violence team helping me, also the woman from the family centre said she's gonna try and help me too.

I'm stayin at Mum's for now, cos the refuge was just too far away and I need the support from my Mum or i'll go crazy!

How is everyone? sorry i've n ot been on much, i just feel a bit funny

SS - really sorry to hear about your dh, I really hope things don't turn out for the worst and the infection has been caught in time.

MFD - all babies can have is glycerin, you can get the baby ones like tixylix etc or most chemists will have a generic one suitable for babies....it is much cheaper and does the same! fwiw, they don't do much, but they do sooth babes throat and if it is a tickly cough this can sometimes help to reduce the irritation/coughing.

Tara - congrats on ben being joseph:)

Em - if you read this i have just remembered to comment....your pic of Seth on facebook is amazing he is lovely and I love his t-shirt;)

Afternoon all - Very clingy baby this afternoon. She woke up crying from her nap, and wouldn't let go of me or stop. A big drink of milk later and a long cuddle in front of cbeebies and she has crawled off and is back to being little miss independent again, so no idea if she was thirsty or something else .

Got a free graze box today. No idea how long I will keep getting them. Next weeks is reduced, might stop after that... one drawback of them though - Izzy has helped me eat half of the dried cherries which were the first bit I opened. I want a look in too

I love Graze boxes! Not sure I can justify one while I'm not working though.

SS- sending your OH some serious get well vibes and you some serious stay strong vibes. I think you are coping with this brilliantly- I hope he is really proud of you.

Elle- I love Asda vests. I think they are the best ones we have.

AM- hope Ry's okay and that your mum's looking after you all.

OK, I feel the need to clear a few things up:

-the feeling of being ignored isn’t because the thread moves so quickly or any of the other points made. It’s that if you actually look back through the thread a majority of my posts are completely missed, not comments, no hellos, no hugs etc. When this happens time after time you do begin to wonder why???

Okay, since the speed of the thread isn't an adequate explantion of why I haven't replied to your posts, I've decided to go through some of your recent posts to see whether I responded and if not why:
Your comment on carseats.
Like you I always took Alice out of the carseat but at that point in the conversation, I had already made enough carseat comments, it was a slightly sensitive issue for some people and you posted at 11.16 at night so I wasn't reading it until the next day anyway. I did actually think soemthing along the lines of, "Yay! Someone like me." but I felt that commenting on it was inappropriate in the light of what others had said by the time I came on the next day. I often don't comment on things when I come on in the morning that have been said the night before because people talk a lot at night and I often feel that that part of the conversation has been and gone by then.

Rant about your MIL. (Plus following associated posts on the next page.)
This was also the previous night and as I have a lovely MIL who never interferes I didn't feel like I had anything helpful to say as saying that I have a lovely MIL wouldn't really help. Also, Jillie, Searching and Moneymaker had all responded to your post pretty promptly and there had been a short discussion about interfering relatives.

I did actually quote this post to give a reply but then I decided that my contribution wouldn't be of any value expecially taking into account that I was reading on the following day. (I actually do this quite frequently - it is not unique to your post.)

You saying goodnight.
a) I was already in bed and b) I tend not to reply to these messages anyway because the person has gone anyway and also I don't want to clutter up the thread with replies which are just hello/goodbye.

Post addressing various people (but not me), talking about prams and complaining about relatives again.
Obviously I'm not going to reply to you speaking to other people, I had nothing useful to add with regard to the relatives and I don't really follow all this pram and pushchair talk as we always used the sling. We have been lent an 20+year old pram which I did used to use for a walk while Alice had a nap until she was four months but that's it so I don't generally join in with pram/pushchair discussions.

Post telling Beanie about thermometers and talking about Liams night sleeping/feeding.
Obviously I wouldn't reply to the thing to Beanie and I'm afraid I generally don't bother replying to general updates about how babies have fed/slept in the night as so many people are posting them all the time and it is hard to keep track. (NB I'm not saying people shouldn't post these kinds of updates - I'm just explaining why I don't reply.)

Comment about trying to catch up with the thread but forgetting everything, mentioning you bought something and asking if people were watching children in need.
If someone I knew better had posted that I would have replied to the question at the end saying, "No." but because I don't really know you, if I'd done that it would have seemed a bit rude so I didn't.

This post was just you giving responses to other people.

Welcome to someone new, comments about how you were feeling and trouble with MIL again.
If I'd been on at the time when you posted maybe I would have replied to you but I don't come online on Sundays so I don't think I even read this page and even if I had, Searching and Glam had already replied on the very same page so a reply from me would have seemed rather redundant.

Ditto for this post being on Sunday.

And this one.

This post you addressed some individuals, gave various updates about things you were doing (which tends to be the sort of thing I don't really reply to with anyone) and then asked a question about the TC meet.

This post just announced you were back from the TC and addressed a few individuals so again there was no need for me to respond.

This post commented on Feely's friend status on FB and I didn't reply to any of that discussion as far as I am aware.

This post was again addressing other people and did not include me.

This post was a reply to someone else so would have been silly for me to reply.

And this post the only thing I could have replied to was you being in a rush but as I couldn't think of a suitable reply I didn't.

I've skipped a few more as it would just be more of the same response from me.

This is the one which you presumably are the most bothered about.
I'm afraid I actually partly misread this and thought it was your husband who got ill from the cold. Because I was concerned about Beccles (who I've "known" since the pregnancy thread and also tend to notice more because we're both in County Durham and our daughters are only two or three weeks apart) and was framing a reply in my head, I did skim read the posts after hers. Another thing which made me not respond were that you put a couple of other things first which made it seem like you were trying not to make a big deal about it. Also I couldn't remember how old your baby is as we seem to have had a lot of new people recently and some people have posted before their baby has been born which makes it harder to keep in my head so I thought that it might be just the normal stuff you get in the first week or two after giving birth. Since you have said you are upset at being ignored, I can see why you are upset at not having a response to this comment and I am sorry I did not give a reply. In future I will try to always respond if someone says they have been crying.

To be honest, the majority of the times I reply to something other people have said is when I feel I can make a worthwhile contribution. I also quite often write replies to some comments and then decide against posting them because they are superfluous or I think they sound stupid. I'm sure if I went through anyone else's posts you would find that I haven't responded to the majority of them but it doesn't mean I'm ignoring them either.

Maz, when you said six days left earlier, did you mean today and all next week, or do you not work five days a week so you've got more then just to next Friday to work? All set for leaving?

I have today and then all next week (although I work at home on a Monday...Just finished doing a 'manual' of what the boys I work with will have to do when I leave. I know it will go wrong but keep telling them I am only at the end of a phone/ email...

ooh that would bug me so much Maz! If I'd been given something like that I would make sure it was all nicely folded/hung up back where it came from.

I know I mean I just think if you have a locker that has 5 things in it then put the blooming 5 things back in the same locker!!!
