Sorry No need to be scared unless you also managed to break both bones spectacularly resulting in a 3 hour operation to remove fragments and put 2 metal plates in place, leaving a total of 56 staples in 2 scars of roughly 4 inches each!!!!

I have put the towels, bath mats etc. in the wash and am really now going to bed xx

It's ok:D My break sounds a bit boring compared to yours:o I think I will keep it that way though;)
Sounds painful though, hope you are ok soon.

I've had the crappiest of crappy weeks and I now have 4 weekly hospital appointments to contend with.. I've really had enough and think the last 2 years of my life have actually been a waste of time and I really wish I could have skipped them..

I don't have BD.. I hate dogs.. I am just damn miserable tonight.. stressed out of my wits and maybe a tad worried as well..

OH has gone to buy my misery some prawns.. ... he is lovely.. !!!!!!.. typing that set my waterworks off..

*slaps self*

Cuppa anyone?

I had a :eek: thought earlier - seeing about Sexy's AB's reminded me that a few weeks ago when i was on them I had terrible diarrhoea. Would that affect the pill that I'm on? I would absolutely love to have a baby, but with the state of my health and our money situation it's a really bad idea so I hope I'm not expecting. DH would have a nervous breakdown! I'm sure it's ok, but of course now I've thought of it I can't stop thinking about it and wondering! Will have to get a test I spose. It was only a couple of days I was affected so it's probably fine, right?

Erm.... DS2... DD2.. and 2 of my m/c were the result of AB's...

AnW'sMum
Kazw That is brilliant news - welcome to the world little man and Congratulations to you allxx
Poppy thats great - you deserve to be nice to yourself xx
Diva – Continued get well vibes for Tristan and Michelle
MrsChaos – sounds like you need a(((hug))). hang on in there with DS1 - it will come right in the end.
LadyL – Hope you will be back with us soon - we miss you - love and hugs xx
Froddy hope you had a nice day with your Dad
Rosepink well I am glad someone has finally got through to you - we have been on at you about letting your lovely MiL help because we could see you were struggling - this will make a huge difference and there will be no reason for you not to keep up now. what a lovely lady she is. And 'yes' having diarrhea would affect the pill -obviously everyone is different and would also depend on how long you have been on the pill/ what kind of pill etc etc etc - if in doubt speak to a nurse at your surgery.
MOAM thats great news that DH is home:T:T
Sunnygirl hope DD's ear infection goes quickly - nasty thing to have - hope you had fun tryting on the dresses - what a wee cutie Millie is :T
xxJoxxHappy Birthday to DS - sorry I am a bit late with it - hope he has had a brilliant day xx
toochoosey whats with the CBA???? I seem to remember you and DD were going to be doing the lists and getting all the stars this week - you had better not be leaving it all until the weekend - and at the moment neither of you have any rewards - tut tut :rotfl:
Mrs Beatson but you can have some nice quality time with littlest - enjoy the peace too.
Hex yes you have been bad not getting it done but you are trying to sort it and thats the main thing - well done.
keys I can only offer you (((hugs))) and *coping* vibes - could it be attention seeking or the effects of additives/E numbers??? the others have given you good advice that has to be worth a try
macpep hope you had a better day today - BTW Greenbee has been broody for ages and ages - but wont do whats needed to get a Man!!!:rotfl: we have been trying to persuade her to internet dating - no way!! - so she needs to go out socially more instead of closetting herself at home in the evenings working!!!!! IMHO! She even goes to the gym at ridiculously early hours when all the men are away to work or still in bed! She goes for walks in the eveing late at night when its dark when the only male she is likely to meet could be a drunk/ a rapist/ a mugger or a thief:rotfl:
Pigpen well done getting the parcels wrapped but are they posted????:p Awh (((hugs))) pet I am sorry to hear you are miserable - you have probably been doing too much with all the decluttering from the bedrooms etc and you are worn out - rest up tomorrow and sit and put some stuff on ebay - what a lovely fella you have there - give him a big hug!
sexy good that the doctor is getting you sorted - dont be in a hurry to do things - it will take as long as it takes -the AB's will help get rid of the infection but you have been very run down and need to be 100% better before you go out/ go to work again (((hugs)))
cazzab corned beef is very good for your iron levels - one nurse I know had corned beef every week of her pregnancy and had no bother with her iron levels at all.
LameWolf ooooh you gave me a tingle when you mentioned Birsay - I love it there - i used to work in Orkney many years ago.
soappie glad you survived the day
Mumto5 sounds like a grotty day = have a big squidgy (((hug))) and I hope tomorrow is better for you.
AnW'sMum good luck with the car hunting
Froddy hiope the arm settles down again (((hugs)))

Have taken ages to catch up and now I should go to bed:(
tomorrow should be easier - well maybe not on reflection!!!

love and hugs to you all especially Lady L

I hate to worry you but even taking AB's can affect the pill, Ds2 is here because of them. I had an absess on my tooth and was taking AB's, Neveah told me to be careful because they affected the pill, i told OH just before who said " what does she know, it'll be ok ". :cool:

Sorry haven't kept up today with posts or flying but have been very very busy at work and with friends and with packing for a couple of days in London. Plan to zoom off early tomorrow so we get as much time there as possible. Want to spend some time with my bro and his family and try to get to natural history museum as Adam is dinosaur mad and Emily loves any museum and will happily read every single bit of information!

See you all on Sunday - just hope the snow stays away from us now

Hugs to anyone who needs them, chocolate for anyone who hasn't given it up for Lent, and cakes and cuppas for everyone cos nearly everything can be fixed by cake!

Toots, it's only me with the CBA, DD has been great seeing as we have done nothing this half term, her room is tidy and she makes her bed perfect every morning. I think my problem has been not having to get up of a morning but will try harder tomorrow, Thanks for the words of encouragement xx
Rosepink thanks for your words too, and glad you are feeling more positive xx

Hi all, didn't go to my sisters for the day as she decided to stay in and "paint", in other words she stayed in because she can't be bothered to take the kids out anywhere. So were goin there tomorrow instead.

So me and the boys took a slow walk up to Stockton along the riverside and it was fantastic.The boys thought it was fantastic watching ferns diving in the water, looking for seals, climbing hills and generally running around playing with total freedom.
Although i live very close to the industrial works and motorways, as we were walking along the river the noises of town turned into a kind ocean/tide coming in sound. It was amazing really, but quite kind to describe it in words. I spent £20:eek: in Stockton though on hot drinks, paying to get into a bouncy/climbing frame place and buying books for the kids. All of the prices have gone up there, couldn't believe it.We got the train back which the boys loved too and thought it was brill that we could see where we had walked earlier on in the day.

So came back and finished our bedroom :T so i'm shattered now, sent OH to bed and having a hot chocolate now before bed.

I'll try and catch up with the thread.
