ooh psychic shug answered before I askedHugs MFD and family.
How's Amber? And 3, how are yours? I hope you're ok too xxx
I'm up, can't breathe, Molly was just screaming for me and although OH is in there he won't do and she won't settle, and he got frustrated and snapped at her - and then wonders why she won't take comfort from him. It's because you f'n snap at her when she doesn't calm down as fast as you'd like
So very, very sick. I hate this.
Edit: Yes, Sami, I've been in bed for four hours but too congested to lie down now

are you any good at sleepig sat up? have some menthol to sniff? xxx
Meant to say for 3's benefit, happiness boost - Edgar scaled the stairs at mums earlier!:T:eek: (I was right with him ready to catch him, he slipped 2 or 3 times but saved himself!:eek:)0 -
oh Krystal she's taking the p there! I'd never get a baby sitter for such a late night, esp when they have to walk home (no matter how short) and £10 is an insult IMO, how good a friend is she? if he's a teen why does she need a sitter anyhoo!0

I'm going to try again soon, I'm yawning again so hopefully can nod off. I'm annoyed with OH though, he complained that she won't settle for him, and told me I was making !!!! up when I suggested that it's because he uses a snappy tone with her and she's old enough to recognise it. Although honestly what pees me off the most is that he said, And she woke me up! as though that's the worst crime ever and he hadn't left her and me alone in the bedroom for the three nights beforehand so I could deal with my sickness and her teething/sickness by myself on top of looking after her for most of the first two days. I'm mostly just tired, but it infuriates me that he thinks it's ok to be short with her and that she'll not notice. AND that he's done eff all while I've been ill till today, when he handed me her lunch to feed her and I gave it right back and crawled off to bed.
Big vent, don't read

He's not a teen?
Anyway, don't think I'll volunteer for that again... Home and in bed but Caitlyn woke up as soon as they arrived back and is not settling at all and Dave's b1tching about liberties being taken...
I only wanted to help out a friend... She's helped me out with bits and pieces before but never babysitting late at night... I don't know... Anyway...

Morning....
Well the rest of em started being sick last night!! inc dh who did a mad dash to the loo and slipped and bashed his head!! We just lay about and attempted to watch an episode of Wallander which is on for 1.5hrs......it took over 2.5hrs to watch as it included 3 bed/pyjama changes...so I have a load of bed linen to go shove on the line, after I finish my cuppa:)
Poor Jaden was trying to tell me he can go to Camelot, he is burning up and has barely any energy to even sit up:( I have made the boys both stay in bed.
On the plus side I feel 90% better and kai seems better, just whiney still, although he also appears to have two teeth popping through at the bottom, so that could be the cause of that.
Oh and the guy buying our car is stranded in Poland!!!Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.0 -
Morning
Hope the sicky ones feel better soon xx
Bairns off to my parents caravan again this morning, so I can revise all weekend. Get the back for tea tomorrow, so it's not too long, but I'll still miss them like mad
Charlotte is doing my hair again while I type. Craig bought her a Girls World head, but she still likes playing with my hair more
Here I go again on my own....0 -
Aw Jillie I hope your sister's ok and you have a cup of tea ready for her

My ex was coming to my parents' for Christmas once and his flight was cancelled due to fog. Then the fast ferry to Liverpool was cancelled because the sea was too rough. So the Liverpool foot passengers, including a planeload of stranded people, were brought on the night ferry from Dun Laoghaire to Holyhead and bussed up to the ferry terminal, where they all had to organise themselves because nobody was there for them :eek: eventually they organised themselves into taxi groups and he turned up 18 hours late and smelling like nothing on earth. He was exhausted and although I'd made his breakfast I put it in the microwave and insisted he go take a shower.
The weekend postwoman woke us this morning. Apparently she's lost the key to the front door of our building (making me feel very secure...) and has to ring to be let in, but she didn't respond to me asking who it was when she rang the entryphone so OH went down and asked her exactly why she thought it was ok to ring the bell that has specifically "don't ring - baby sleeping" on it, and she tells him that babies should be up by 8:50am. This one's sick and wasn't, and so were her parents
Still raging about last night, even worse because OH claims he was asleep and doesn't remember it.Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76
