Evening all..

:j for sleep, teeth, clapping, interviews, exams, chocolates, time away, fruit loaf and supportive fabulous Susan!
:grouphug: for those with poorly ankles, indecisive husbands, broken mixers and crappy deaf housing officers!

3, did the social worker turn up? Will give MM a nudge and let her know you were asking after her

The physio is finally "very impressed" with Rhys - woohoo! Oh, and soon we can start *learning* how to stand up... that'll be a very quick lesson then Rhys spent the morning at Mum's then they came back here for physio and then went for a walk to Mum's friend's house where Rhys sat on the floor playing and giving Mum's friend's mum big beaming smiles. She's quite poorly (old age decline, I think) and Mum's friend is her carer and can't get out much anymore, so they said it was fab to see Rhys and he really brightened the lady's day

Sad day for the area here - a young engineer was killed in an explosion/fire at a local oil refinery. All our (chemicals industry) sites are quite closely linked and everyone knows everyone else on the H&S/Compliance/Fire side, so very sombre moods today. OH had worked with the guy in the past too The pictures scared me a bit as it brought home what OH could get caught up in if it happened on our site too :cool:

On a slightly brighter note, I walked into work (from the car park, not home!) with one of the big bosses this morning and he asked how I was getting on in my new job. I struggled to answer because although I wanted to tell him I was really, really enjoying it, he's also in charge of HR and his wife is my ex-kinda-boss so I don't want it getting back to them how much I truly disliked HR! Explained to my new boss what happened in case if gets back to him that I wasn't massively enthusiastic about the new job... argh, so political! :cool:

Tonight I'm sorting out lots of bits and pieces for one of the girls at work who's pregnant with boy/girl twins, due in October. Have got all sorts of bits that Rhys never wore because he was the wrong size at the wrong time of the year

At work tomorrow, then meeting up with Rhys' ex room buddy on Friday and possibly the nurse who looked after them both when they were very poorly - she's moving out of the area soon for a new job in paediatric A&E in Leeds so we're trying to get together before she goes!

Hope everyone is well xx

Evening all. Hope everyone is ok.

Still busy busy here - have been to the pub after work today for a friends birthday - DH took Izzy there after nursery and I joined them when I got there. Izzy amazed everyone by her ability to eat more chips than should be able to fit into such a small person, and got very cross when I told her it was time to leave. That's my girl

We have cracked the sleep thing - last few nights I have been giving Izzy milk in the living room, then saying night night (seeing as DH isn't always here at bedtime we say night night to the teddies in the toy box and the babies on the wall too!), teeth, then ready for bed and then into bed. She is now saying bye bye to me, and not worrying at all as I leave the room. We had a really bad night a few nights ago when she kept waking up for no reason, but I know that will happen from time to time. She is only properly waking up if there is something wrong, and slept through fine last night, so it is all good

I hope everyone is ok - will read back the last few pages shortly, when I've got myself some salad to top up the few chips Izzy let me eat before she scoffed them all!

3 & Caz, I can't make Thursday as the midwife is coming to discharge me.....She was trying to come on Wed!!!!!!!!xx

Thats a shame, i really hope you can make the meet but if its too much with the new baba stay at home and take it easy, no point in doing too much too soon xx

Caz - no problem about the hotel. Do you want to be city centre or near the Trafford Centre (good if you need to go out by yoursen on Tues pm, lots of food places and somewhere to mooch) or near Heaton Park? How many of you are coming and what's your max budget? I can't collect you on Tues afternoon (unless you arrive before 2ish?) but can prob pick you up for Heaton Park on the Wed if needs be? I also can't do dinner cos I need to be home to put C to bed at 6 ish . Is anyone else meeting you or you just gonna have some chill time?

Let me know your preferences and I'll see what I can do.

I think it may just be me but Erin could possibly come along(so wouldnt make a difference!) As cheap as possible so there will be extra shopping money i think one night in manchester for the meet and then a night in Liverpool? I honestly do not know manchester so will leave it in your hands if thats ok? like i said im useless with places i dont know :rotfl:

thanks again xx

Hi all

wow that was a mammoth catch up. Lots of good news so YAY for all of you

Susan - I agree you should definitely complain about the swearing and think the plan of writing a statement for Beenie sounds good. Who's dog was it? I think saying it should be shot in front of a young child is also a huge reason to complain! If I did either of those infront of customers at work I would be seriously disciplined.

Had my mum here all day today helping me with my garden. I planted 5 shrubs in the rockery border all by myself. I feel very proud lol

Mel, my OH has changed his mind to, he said he's too squeamish!

Have you dropped the cotside Elle? He is doing amazingly, just being nosey but what does the physio look like on her face when you show her all this stuff?

Where is Sami?

Hope you're ok SM? X

I read that as MFD was gonna get preggers soon!

We have sorted a wheelchair for Ben as he can't be on his crutches for more than an hour on Saturday, and we just got some LED Balloons from Tescos so we're gonna light him up to make it fun!

It was a dog somewhere outside so presumably either a neighbour's dog (but not a very close neighbour) or a dog out for a walk.

The base? Yup, did it last night

Physio didn't see him standing up... she "doesn't care" that he can do it, she's "more concerned" (though I prefer obsessed!) about his lack of crawling *rolleyes* Rumour has it, she actually SMILED today, though she didn't when I saw her a few weeks ago. I'm seeing her again next Tuesday so will see what happens by then :cool:

Where is Sami?

Edinburgh, staying near where her FIL works during the week. Having lots of days out, see FB Home on Friday.
