    Hugs 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 :angry:

    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 :(

    Glad Amber is doing fine in a 'general tummy bug' kind of way Tia, I'm sure she'll be feeling a lot better tomorrow :)

    Sugar, have a ((hug)) from me hun, feeling rank is no fun when you have a miserable baby to contend with too :(

    My friend txt to say she's on her way back... depending on whether she txt me as she was leaving or once they were well on their way, it could be another half an hour before I'm on my way home... Think a tenner might be a little less than my time is worth now though... :undecided:

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Ooops sorry Krystal, I imagined you were Sammy Jo for a minute there. I blame the sniffles.

    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!

    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...

    ((hugs)) sugar men are crap etc...

    Gonna try and stick C back in the cot, I need to sleep!

    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!!!
