    Hugs all round this morning. Hope Charlotte is feeling better this morning, JAM and glad David is on the mend Hammy.

    Mel, I agree with your OH too, you will start to feel better once the medication kicks in but please be aware it can actually make you feel worse before you feel better so stick with it! You are a fabulous mummy and your OH is lucky to have you, as are your lovely children.

    Oh Keely, I'm sorry to hear that, things sounded so much more positive last time you posted about it on FB, How are you and Elliot feeling this morning?
    ((hugs)) keely .... and jam ... doesnt seems like theres much happiness just lately ...

    off to drop zoe off .. then counsellor session ... then *sigh* work ... hope everyone has a good day x
    I hope everything goes as well as can be expected today *hugs*



    So sorry to hear your MIL isn't doing well *hugs* How are you and Elliot feeling now?

    Thanks everyone, Elliot has perked up a lot-he had gone off his food but last night actually ate some chunky chicken and veg soup with bread, then this morning was starving so had a weetabix, milk then wanted some rice pudding! So that's a good sign as he loves food usually. I'm feeling crap to be honest, but think I'm feeling worse just because of worrying about my MIL and things. I'm keeping everything crossed that she will get better.

    Just remembered something from when i was preg with jas, early in preg we spoke to jake asked him what we should call baby, he said iggle piggle lol, so we got in the habit of calling bump iggle piggle so whenever anyone asked jake what baby was gonna be called (think they'd hope jake would slip up lol but we never told him real name!) he would answer that in a serious voice used to make everyone laugh. Then when she was born the first few weeks we all kept slipping up carrying on calling her piggle piggle lol, especially when we were sleep deprived!

    We are like that, we called Elliot beenie when I was pregnant and its really hard to not call him Beenie now lol

    Anyone know how to make Avatars I want to make one of Elliot for here.

    Also has anyone any experience of the intensive driving courses? I need to learn to drive, I feel like I am missing out on so much (cant ever make meets for example) and we are getting some money from In laws after GIL died and I thought maybe I would take a driving company up on their 5 lessons for £60 offer then do a weeks intensive course?

    GISI What type of tutu are u needing. This totally may not be suitable but I have a shocking pink tutu that I had for an hen do last year which u r welcome to it if it would help? It's about a foot long if that (hence me wearing trousers under it!!) and has black elastic round the top. Not great quality but did the job. Sorry if I am totally off the mark!!

    I forgot to say my brother has bought Katie some Gruffalo plasters - we've had to hide them as she was wanting to stick them all over her toys. Grandad and Grandma have bought her a Gruffalo apron so that she can paint, cook etc in safety.
    We have ripped up paper everywhere most of the time because Alice is always ripping up paper to make "plasters" for all her "babies". If she has stickers she uses them to hold the plasters on but fortunately it hasn't occurred to her to get stickers out of the craft cupboard herself.

    I wouldn't trust them - two of my brothers are similar enough for software to not differentiate between them.
