:)well you didn't beat me, I've been up since 3, but I think you win anyway cos it sounds horrid:(. ((((((((hugs)))))))))

How I am feeling-wise, hard to say online. I'm not worried at all about the DVT, but I'm in bits about work again. Since monday (there's been another setback) I've not slept more than 4 hrs a night since. After everything going wrong in November it's been a catalogue of disasters and now I'm just super-shaky about it. I keep waking up and crying. I cried in the hospital and the nurses thought I didn't like the injections, but it's not that. It's just that I don't have the right brain to take on a leave/pay issue when I'm not an expert and I'm alone (I just mean there's only one me and a whle big institution) . Rang ACAS, they can't advise on individual circs, no-one available at the union... you know, that kind of thing .

Anyhow, I've been feeling pretty desperate.

I've just made myself sound like a right moron haven't I? I should just resign rather than being one of those people who moans but doesn't sort themselves out. I just don't know how to tell DH he can't finish his PHD cos I'm too weak to cope with the real world of work.

I'm sorry I've said too much.

Weezl- I am so, so angry at your work that they are making you feel like this and ruining the end of your pregnancy for you.

Could the CAB point you in the direction of some help, possibly?

Worst case scenario could DH delay finishing his PHD until the boys are a little bit older and you are back at work? Have you spoken to him about how all this is making you feel.

Please, please feel free to vent on here if it makes you feel better. We might not have any practical advice but we can definitely listen.


Ladybird- your neighbours suck. Shall we all gang up on them and ring their buzzer all night?

Morning Hammy- how's David sleeping at the moment?

Becles

Sorry to hear how you are feeling weezl. Hope you get things sorted out *hugs*

Morning GISI, David is much better now thanks! Last night he slept 8 - 2 then 3 - 7.30 - the best night ever!!!! :T I hope Henry is still sleeping well for you. I think David has some movement of teeth as he is dribbling and drooling all the time and has his hands constantly in his mouth. I tried some teething gel last night as he was being unusually grumpy and he loved it :rotfl:

Someone else obviously let them in though, as they spent the next hour banging on our neighbours door and gave up about when Izzy woke up. I think they might have fallen asleep on the doormat as they tried again a few mins ago. I wish I was brave enouh to o tell them off at half 4 this morning, but it sounded like they were drunk, and Idecided I was better off out of it.

Hate that. We get an advertising guy ringing our doorbell to be let into the building to put flyers in the mailboxes at 7am every Saturday. I got up ahead of him one time, waited to hear him pressing all the bells and went out and tore a verbal strip off him, then pointed to my bell and told him that if he pressed it and woke the baby again I'd have him prosecuted for noise abuse (illegal to disturb people during unsociable hours in Germany). An empty threat, but wild eyed desperate me scared him off.

Ah sweetie, that's so awful. You're not alone, but I do think you need an advocate. Try the CAB or take advantage of one of the solicitors who give a free half-hour service?

If your GP is understanding, you could also have him/her sign you off for your phantom four weeks for stress?

Happy Valentines Day lovely ladies. My heart shaped shortbread was well appreciated and I received a heart shaped egg in a bacon and egg sandwich in return. And we have exchanged sappy Youtube links on Facebook :rotfl:

You must have been scary!

I went out to put the rubbish down the chite and there was a irl standin on next doors doormat carryin her shoes and in just a little skirt and top - felt a bit uilty then - hope she wasn't there like that all night - it is indoors, but no heating on the landing so very cold out there. We didn't think anyone was living next door now (council flat - couple with child - she left with the little girl and he is only seen when little girl comes to visit).... must just keep odd hours!

We've had our valentines morning row (well, kind of one sided row anyway. I can't be bothered to rise to him trying to pick fights with me, but aparently me not knowing what time he wants to go to his parents is something to yell at me for :mad:) Ho hum, it can only get better!

He is off to the allotment with my Dad now, so need to see if Izzy wants a nap while I get some things done.

We did exchange chocolates and he won on the fruit machines yesterday, so got me a pre-owned pink DS instead of drinking it all, so I shouldn't moan too much

weezl, u can never "say too much", hon. We're here to listen and pls feel free to vent as much as necessary! I know u can't get "signed off" from fergie, so can ur mom tzke him for an extra afternoon or something so u can get some weezl pamper time? Also, i no ur prolly very against given the views i've read from u, but poss consider student loan so hubby can finish his degree. I agree u def need to get help - seems like perfect situation for the union to get involved? Much love...

You'd think she'd have the class to actually do a walk of shame rather than a loiter-on-the-doormat of shame. I do feel a bit sorry for her though, if she was cold and barefoot in the hallway. Still better than in the snow.

Actually, my first boyfriend once accidentally locked me into his porch and then passed out drunk so I was there till the milkman found me and rang the bell continuously at 7am the next day.

Morning all,

Katie slept for 12.5 hours last night! She's woken up a different child to the grumpy monster she was last night.

We've had our Valentine's Bacon butties.

I'm just about to got and get ready for church and DH is getting Katie dressed as I speak.

It's the only time we'll see each other before 10pm tonight as he'll have gone to work by the time we get back.

Weezl - big hugs hope you get some answers soon. I also second the suggestion of getting signed off for stress
