    ex OH ;) is taking the fricking car....I despair. Have told him to sell his flipping bike, use the money to get a place that he can walk to work and then give me the car back. Fed up, really fed up...but hey only another 3 days until peace :)

    I've obviously missed loads here. (((hugs))) sally.xx

    Sal-I personally think he is trying to blackmail you into giving him money for his bike to be fixed.

    Here is an idea-you all drive down TOGETHER Sat evening and drop him off (and all his crap from the boot) and you go see your sister. Then you drive home Sunday. He can take the train back soon once he has the money for his brakes.

    Piccolina is into everything! convinced she'll be walking soon - she cruises round furniture like there's no tomorrow and a couple of time has let go for a second or two and remained upright:eek::eek: Is it really bad that I want my baby to stay a baby cos the second she moves without holding on... she'll be a toddler:o

    I totally get it. On the one hand I love that Nathan is so independent and adventurous but at the same time I want him to be my baby and need me forever:o

    I tried coming of the ADs and after bursting into tears at yesterday's setbacks and life-challenges I have realised that I'm physically not ready for life without ADs (even if I *want* to be without them)! DH had barely walked through the door when I'd poured and drunk a glass of wine; two minutes later and the second glass had disappeared. The third glass managed to last a whole ten minutes and the fourth and fifth glasses were much more liesurely affairs.

    How long have you been on them Cat? Apparently you have to be on them at least 6 months after feeling better even if you feel great and then the winding off is very gradual. Be careful with alcohol on them too - its a depressant in its own right and mixing it with meds in such quantities is not the best idea....

    oh i remember that, just a shame when my little one started walking properly she didnt stop getting into everything, it actually became worse because she could get to things easier

    i do think she is going to get really stressed at me when she gets older as i am going to be soooooo protective, my wife let me know today that a little boy had her pinned against some mesh at a local adventure playground today and i got really angry, i am at work some 30 miles away and i am still wanting to have a go at the parents who let their little boy upset my little girly gggggrrrr

    Hi :wave:
    Hope the phone rings soon Bunny.
    Welcome back to Cat.
    Luc - don't really know what to say. You've had a bittersweet sort of year much as I have had and I feel close because of the 2 little men being the same age. Obviously I didn't have the PMD thrown in!
    I was despairing of getting a job but, fingers crossed, I'm settled into 1 now. It's all due to the help and support of this forum that I am where I am now so feel free to have a moan or rant -nobody will mind.
    Very bady put but HANG ON IN THERE something will turn up for you. :grouphug:
