I hope you manage to dodge the squits, chopsticks :eek:

3, I started getting migraines at 6 and mostly grew out of them, but if I have a stressful day I still get the sort of headache that makes you wish you could claw your eyes right out so you could rub your brain and make it go away.

AF, I know it's awful and that I've been lucky in that I don't always have to be in the office to be working. But I think that's why people have pictures of their kids as the wallpaper on their computers, to remind them why they're at work making money. What I've tried to do is take a step back from the politics, ignore my colleagues and their weird moods, and just get what I need to get done, done, so I can go home. I hope it gets easier for you :grouphug:

Just wanted to share a picture from yesterday:


Toby has a runny nose today, so we are skipping Baby Group, and just going into town to the post office, bank and for shopping, then to a Mummy Meet this afternoon.

Aw AF

Horrid.

I wish there was another way forward for you, but I know you have really considered all the options and that you are doing the right thing for V.

Can you isolate yourself from the nastiness at all, either through emotionally distancing yourself, or through just not being there when the low morale stuff is likely to pop up?

I don't know if that's possible where you work, but I have sometimes not gone to team meetings or consultancy and got on with other valid tasks when other staff members are too much for me :rotfl:

Morning!

SM - can you tell us the news yet?! I'm one of your eBay watchers btw - the Grobag egg

Sami - re. the TMI, i'm glad you said that, i hope i'm the same as you then i was really hoping to have a few months free of my period, plus it's mse after all :rotfl:

Becles i love the pic of Charlotte, there's a girl at my DS school who looks similar and she always stands out in the school plays, she's got beautiful distinctive features

Angela - i'm glad i'm not the only one to find the groups daunting, i totally bottled out of going to the BF group on Monday. I'm going to take her to get weighed today so i'm hoping that will make it seem less daunting when i do go. I've been there before but not for a good few years with DS

I actually caught up last night but i ended up getting sidetracked. i.e when Susan posted about that baby hoax, i googled it and ended up reading about that for ages, and the blogs started to lead me to other blogs and before i knew it the forums were closed :rotfl:

Amber slept from 12:30am - 8am this morning:T so that's 2 nights in a row she's done that. Although i'd slipped out of my bra and woke up feeling like i was in a milk bath.

So thanks to the lovely fairies, i am the proud owner of a freedom sling pouch and i can't do it . I can't get her to look comfy in it, i've looked at some vids on youtube and googled for instructions but i still feel like she's gonna fall out, or if not, her head is squished... I'm a nugget, cos i haven't used it outside yet i've just been practising at home... There must be a knack to it

Oh! Oh! CUTE!!

They both look like you've disturbed them doing something mischievous :rotfl:

AF - I don't have any real advice, just wanted to tell you that I know how much you love your daughter, and I admire you for the hard work you do to make her life better. You are a very selfless Mummy to do that, and I'm sorry it is so hard for you. Try and see it as a temporary thing - hopefully morale will improve and work will become enjoyable again.

Three2be had her baby the other day and i totally missed this post!! I only went looking cos she sometimes pops in here and i hadn't seen her.

foot still sore they think they got it all out but i dont as it has a stabbing pain when i put it down, so im still walking funny lol!

I would go back if you think there's still some there. When I had glass in my foot they practically couldn't tell it was there because it was so small but I couldn't walk on my foot with it in and once it was out I was fine.

AF - hugs, I haven't gone back to work so I really don't know how you are feeling, yet Hopefully someone will be along soon to help!

Feelie - Lovely pic, they do look like they have been caught do something they shouldn't

Good advise given about talking to the babies, I always do this. I usually make a comment such as "hello cutie" and then introduce Liam to the baby IYSWIM

Still catching up, but going to say that I hate you Beenie ...Finn was actually pretty good last night, but when I put him down after his 2am feed we then went into this weird thing where I couldn't tell if he was asleep or awake in his basket as he kept making these really weird squeaking/grunting noises and moving around. He usually does these noises when he's waking up or about to cry, but he did them for 1.5 hours!! So great he didn't cry, but also I didn't sleep as they were so loud they kept me awake - and I'm not sure whether he was asleep or awake either! Anyone else's baby do/done this? I admit I felt like I was going mad as desperately just wanted to sleep...
