Mel - hope you get sorted at the doctors - dont forget when you had K you didnt have a 1yr old toddler to run around after and if you add that to the lack of sleep its no wonder you are feeling down. Your hormones and emotions are all over the place. I wish I lived nearer I would look after them so you could get some well deserved rest:A

Oh Hammy, poor boy Sorry if I've missed bits everyone already knows but is it a specific allergy or are they still trying to work out exactly what the problem is?

And hugs for you too Mel. Sounds like you need them.

I've had some bad news tonight. My grandad is in hopsital in a not-coming-out-again kind of way. Will take Izzy to see him tomorrow if there is any point (my dad didn't know if we have hours or days to go - don't think the doctors know either), which will mean a trip to Swindon. So I have been distracting myself with updating the budget spreadsheet. I'm trying to proove to DH that he doesn't HAVE to keep working this second job, and if he chooses to continue doing it to pay for beer and fruit machines then he is not to take it out on me when he is tired (Big barney last night, which is why I'm struggling today. Cleared the air though, as he actually told me a few things that had been bothering him for weeks, and now I know I can do something about them. But still would have been easier if he had just spoken to me to start with rather than getting drunk and being incoherently cross. Boys! ) I have prooved that once we have paid for all the bills, plus food, petrol, £20 towards Izzys shoes and £55 to go into savings to cover MOT/Car tax/whatnot that don't come up ever month, we still have £100 left over. Which is plenty, so long as we don't go overboard. So now he has agreed to cutting down to two shifts a week instead of 3 on his second job in a month or so, once we have cleared this last credit card.

Phew. After all that i'm going to stop wallowing, top up my glass of wine and go and drink it in the bath. I'm torn between wanting to finish the bottle, and needing to be safe driving to Swindon tomorrow. Especially if the sat nav takes me through the magic roundabout.

Hugs Mel - hope the GP helps, try and eat something. T probably cries because she knows mummy isn't happy and is sad about it.

Hugs Hammy.

Hello everyone.

Had a quietish day today - Church this morning doing picture to go up in Church for the summer period. We also got the news that there isn't any money for new materials so we need to get our fund raising thinking caps on.

Katie (after a nap) spent the afternoon in her pool with daddy - once I'd told daddy that the reason the filter wasn't working was because he'd not released the air out of it.

My shopping was delivered early so DH had put it all away by the time we got back

I need to try and video Katie copying the Halifax ISA ad - I just made her day by finding the original song on YouTube.

He is on pepti-junior. There is only neocate left to try now. He has been allergic to everything else. I hope neocate works. I know I am in a better position than most as D is still BF but I am very, very tired and more than a bit rundown so I think that if I could cut back on BF, it would give my body a bit more energy *shrug*

He is allergic to all dairy and soya plus 1 or 2 as yet unknowns

I am so sorry about your Grandad, I hoe you and Izzy get to spend some quality time with him tomorrow

Enjoy your wine. I have a glass in my hand now. I am in bed with the lappy

cant get hold of her at the moment but im sure the milk is a neocate but he has a top up with a sort of weight booster? this can only be given after they are a year old. He has also been given an app for a camera down his throat whilst they test to see if he has an overactive reflex or if his being sick is phycological? he will eat most days but other times he gags and keeps going until he has emptied his stomach. TBH im not sure which of these would be worst?

Hope things get better soon hun and you both get some rest xx

Hugs for Mel, Hammy and David, and Ladybird. I hope you all get some relief soon.

Aww Caz, I really hope he gets better soon. Thankfully, I can count on 1 hand the amount of times David has been sick since he has been born! He is NEVER sick . D is just on the 9th centile but as both me and Mr Hammy are both tall and slim then it is to be expected :rotfl:
