Although my heart broke today as this is the first time in about 4 weeks it's been me and Daniel on our own, when Hubby went to work this morning he came over to me sat on my knee said "Daddy Gone" and then started crying
Think he was better after his 3hr nap, mummy felt alot better for it too.

Don't know if this helps at all but even though OH works full time and I've always been a SAHM, Alice is always asking OH to have a holiday (i.e. stay at home) and getting upset that he's at work and missing out on what we are doing.

Susan - have you ever been to the Forbidden Corner? It is THE most wonderful family day out...although it might be for kids a little older than Alice. It is a magical place though. We went 3 or 4 years ago now and we still talk about it regularly now.

Edit - here it is - I would THOROUGHLY recommend it to anybody.

I went ages ago (somewhere between 10 and 15 years ago) but I'd forgotten about it. I'll have to peruse the website and think about whether Alice would like it.

Yes, I was wondering if the ms had kicked in already.

Dont think so, but i did feel a little nauseous earlier and i hadn't eaten.

Last time it was around 5/6wks i think.

Night Jillie, hope you sleep well

MFD that place looks amazing. That's going on the "must visit once Alfie is old enough to appreciate it" list. Sounds the kind of thing Alice would love too.

em - Clio is better, havent looked at her foot though! I am crushing her pills, and then stabbing a whiskas temptation biscuit over it so it sticks then shoving it in her gob - its the only thing she loves to eat :rotfl:

Did you have words with the OH? and :mad: at him not asking about Seth's sore willy.

I think Keira is getting sick - When I picked her up from nursery they asked me if she was okay as her face looked swollen to them, and I did think this morning her under eye baggys weren't so big as usual (cause she has chubby cheeks, it makes the bit under her eyes look bagtastic) I think maybe eyeshadow she had been wearing had made it puffy? but she is barking like a dog and sniffling now - better not be something viral :eek:

EM/BM - one of my cats is sending sympathy purrs, she suffered 8 weeks of indignity in a cone and on anti b's 18 months ago

Hugs for S and Kiera too, get well soon.

OH cant get the pilot light to come on, the gas man has shut the gas off somewhere with a wrench and we dont have one :eek::eek::eek: we have no hot water, I need to wash my hair before work tomorrow :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I'd rather call in sick and lose the money than go in with greasy hair...

My baby is awake and crying Will give it 10 mins and see if he settles himself. He must be ill as he never wakes this early.

I am writing my Christmas card list.

I knew I had something important to [STRIKE]confess to [/STRIKE]say!

In my cleaning frenzy today, I picked up a little desk chair in L's room, and hadn't noticed V had creeped up behind me.... and I got her 5mm from her eye with the leg. :eek: There is a little tiny cut that got blood and she wasn't very happy about it. I really hope she doesn't have a black eye in the morning.

I'm a bad mummy.



((Hugs)) for Jillie. xx

Isn't there a law saying you have to have 2wks Matenity Leave?

If so why did career mom go back after 1 week?

It said she 'was back in the office' the next week. TBH if you have your own business then it would be pretty hard to keep away...but you wouldn't have to work full time, just pop in and out to check up on things and make decisions IYSWIM.

Hubby has his own business and he had no choice but to go into the office when Benjamin was 4 days old. After that he went in pretty much every day, although we were lucky that he often didn't leave the house until say 11am and he was often home by 3pm.

It's so true, today I've been laughing one minute, welling up the next.
How is Benjamin after his recent pooplosions?

He is not himself...he started with a runny nose about 10 days ago, he has been grumpy and stroppy, we had a random vomiting episode the other night (his cot was FULL!) and now 2 very big watery poopsplosions. It is either a bug with legs or some very stubborn teeth.

Thank you for asking :A

Hmm - DSS was quite scared by some of it, but he does have a very active imagination and hates scary stuff. He was probably 6 when we went. Overall we did adore it though! We went there, stayed in a travelodge and did Beamish the next day.
