Yay, 3rd of November and our Christmas presents are bought - mine and OH's Arrive in six days then we go in to try them for size and arrange the engraving.. So happy Also bought the majority of the family Christmas cards too.

Also, 3rd of November and the PITA neighbours across the road have got their Christmas lights up in the window! :rolleyes: Don't even know why they bother - they're at the bottom of the cul-de-sac?!

Rhys is refusing to settle now.. proper whinging babbling going on, right in OH's ear :cool:

Maz we all had, what I am pretty sure was swine flu...I used to work in a pharmacy so gave a pharmacist friend a call and even they told me that most people who get swine flu just get usual flu like symptoms and Tamiflu reduces the length of the illness by a day, two if your lucky!! So not really worth bothering with BUT to keep a close eye on kids and if they deteriorate beyond what normal flu symptoms would be to go to A & E

I had done the online assessment and got codes to collect some for dh, ds1 and ds2 I was told had to ring docs for me and baby as not straight forward....anyway I didn't bother getting any of them and we are all over it now, I just kept everyone cool dosed up on paracetamol and hydrated.....

Thanks Mel, thats all I'm gonna do with him... suppose I had better keep him out of nursery on Thursday/ Friday though really? I mean they said one kid in his room had it and they are not allowed back for 7 days

Just wanted to answer Maz first, but hello all:hello:

I have lurked of late but have done a bit of posting on the 'other' thread!

Just wanted to say, I think we have a bit of a breakthrough with Kai eating...he has started to eat although only very sloppy food (think weaning style!) but at least it is a start:D

He is very nearly crawling, well gets on all fours and rocks but doesn't actually move, and he has his two bottom teeth right through now:D

I am just MEGA stressed at the moment Student Finance England:mad: STILL haven't sorted out my Loans/Grants and we currently have NO money, the rent was due on the 1st all our bills are due by the 7th and I haven't even paid any of the childcare fees for the older two...the only reason I managed to pay Kai's nursery fees last month is because the uni gave me a £500 loan, although apparantly they are only allowed to loan that max per month...so if my finance still isn't sorted by the 21st of this month (which is very, very likely) I will have to get another £500 loan to cover nursery fees again...the reason I need to pay them on time is that if they are late a 10% charge is added so that would be nearly £50 per month added each time which obviously I don't need!!! and on top of that I am driving round in a car that has no tax because I have no money to tax it but without it can't get to uni......the whole situation is one HUGE mess!!! I am so upset by it all that I am constantly in tears......

Sorry that turned into a bit of a rant there, I am just so upset and crying all the time because of it (well and because of hormones:o)

To be honest it would be as much for his benefit to keep him off, we were all so unbelievably weak from it for ages it really knocked us off our feet!

I did actually try to send the older two into holiday club when they seemed better but it just sent them back down hill again and sent them sick again...so I decided we all needed to properly recover before returning to normal duties.....it has paid off
