    Toby is eating raisins, and can easily pick them up and put them in his mouth, but he doesn't close his mouth fast enough and they fall out!

    .. Weezl, I know you will make the decision that suits you best. I know you are excellent at your job, because the advise you give on here is perfect :) Would you consider charity work ?

    Oh yes, I was going to ask.. is there such a thing as short term contracts for counsellors? :confused: The only thing I though of is say when something tragic happens, say at a school or workplace, and they say on the news "pupils/employees will have access to counselling if they wish".. do they like bring in extra counsellors for that? :o
  • OK ,
    firstly THANK YOU to everyone for your birthday wishes :)

    and secondly, no one is ever allowed to complain about having a crap birthday ever again !! Mine beats them all :rolleyes:

    This morning, I had to do everything in the house cuz Chris was sick, I then had to get me and everyone else ready as Chris went back to bed. I left the kids at mums house and as I was leaving to go for my massage, I CRASHED THE CAR !!!!! Thankfully no one was hurt, I dented her car door and my bumper :o

    I have been driving for 12 years and have never had any kind of accident ever and of all days for it to happen !! So £200 excess and a nice rise in my premiums from next month as my renewal is up :mad:

    I had my massage, and as lovely as it was, it was only less than an hour after the accident so I couldnt really relax much.

    SO Chris is still asleep and not feeling well, so no roast duck and no cheescake, felt sorry for myself so took Jas and me to McDs for dinner !!

    Anyone wanna cheer me up ???
    Happy birthday :j
    I personally think birthdyas are sooo overrated!
    Oh and it's my Mum's birthday today too, and her brothers and my sisters husbands neice!
  • Its a good day for birthdays !! What was 9 months ago ??

    You certainly come across as all those things already :)

    What a horrible situation - what did she do?

    MM, I think Weezlie got you spot on there, I'm sorry you had a rubbish birthday :(

    She burst into tears, asked a lady in her 50s to mind the car and ran and made a reverse charges call from Tesco to her parents who got the AA out.

    They said: 'you should have just smashed the window' (other side, front.)

  • Hello evryone!
    Well had another meeting today, but had a chat with my solicitor before and she advised me to take up their offer of moving and she couldnt see why they wouldnt let me choose were I want to go.
    So, I'm going to have to go to a refuge but it's in the town I want, basically the room is coming vacant in 2 weeks as one person has had an offer of a property so just waitin for that.
    My solicitor said the meeting went really well and that there is nothing for me to worry about, that the ss are being really supportive so things are looking up.
    I;m so glad they managed to let me get to my first choice of area, it's just made it all so easier to come to terms with.

    How come you've all been online for ages but the forum has only just come back online for me?

    I posted as soon as it came back for me, 10 minutes ago. When did you manage to get back?

    Next time remember the Gossiping Group ladies, keep me company there!

    I skimmed the thread a few days ago when everyone was discussing how much food and milk babaies have, can anyone point me in the direction on a/some good sites to look at?

    Very sensible way of dealing with it, I think. Although how long did the AA take? And was the baby sleeping?

    I'm exhausted - I think I shall take a shower and retire to bed to read and occasionally jab Husband with a toe because I have a very odd way of showing my love. I meant to do the dishes, but I'd have to put away the last lot and I don't wanna. Goodnight lovelies, big hugs for all littlies, a sneaky slice of birthday cake for MM and a big wet raspberry for feelie's NCT ladies and MOTM's OH's ex-practice manager and daughter's teacher. And another for anyone else I should be feeling angry at.

    Edit: great news DKAM. Any update from the police on your TV? Check Brightwhatsit and see if they have the serial number.
