    Tia lots of hugs hun. Sounds terrifying but I am so glad that she is doing better. I had some dust in my eye reading your post xxx
    Give Ambertronic some big kisses from her MSE aunties please.

    I had so much dust in my eyes - I've just had to tell Hubby why I'm a bubbling mess. I'm so pleased they seem to be on top of things, but am refusing to uncross everything until she's home.



    Yay for healthy eyes JAM - do you have any wisdom to pass on for if we see another photo?

    Brilliant :j

    Would you consider stopping BF to increase chances of conceiving or will you just carry on and see what happens?
    *sorry if that is too rude a question, please feel free to tell me to b00ger off*

    ooooh interesting thought nosey parker :p



    Recipe for chicken, chorizo and king prawn paella please MacSmiler :D

    this is an easy, mse recipe. :money:Go to tescos at lunch time to purchase last minute milk/bread etc. In reduced section find tesco finest mela for two chicken, chorizo and king prawn paella reduced to less than half-price (£2.xx from £6odds). Shove in oven then eat whilst basking in the adoration of husband who then announces he thinks we should sell up and move abroad. ;):eek::T

    *but I do have a lovely paella recipe somewhere which I'll try and dig out for you - it's more fishy, but delicious

    r.mac, you are so wise and wonderful, that post was lovely and so insightful!
    I can't promise that all my replies will illicit this response :p
  • Thanks for the offer to find out the recipe but I liked the sound of it because it was less fishy MacSmiler. Hubby doesn't like fish *rolleyes* but he will eat king prawns.

    Will remember to keep an eye on that reduced chiller though ;)

    Thanks for popping on and unpdating us Tia, I'm sure with all the parent thread get well vibes and prayers little Amber will be home in no time. Fingers crossed it won't come to it, but don't fret about hospital transfers, it doesn't matter where you get sent, I'm sure there would be someone willing to help you out and keep you sane... Cos we're good like that :D
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • Aw - some funny things that I must tell you - Benjamin was in the bath with hubby earlier and I was sat in the bathroom chatting to them; Benjamin sneezed but as he did so his head ducked below the water - hubby and I were wetting ourselves, which Benjamin loves so he kept putting his face back under to make us laugh more :rotfl::rotfl:


    We have been practicing animal noises on our journey to and from the CM recently. Yesterday we had done cat, dog, horse, cow and I said 'What does the sheep say Benjamin' and he said 'Yes sir, yes sir' (as in 3 bags full) :A

    He is very cute at the moment!

    Thanks NMS - was talkin about you the other day to my buddy at our local pool - do you still take L to Ducklings? How's he getting on?

    :D

    Re: eyes. No advice really, she didn't say much, just pointed out the red reflection to me and said it is so easy to get checked, it's best to do so.

    Re: BF. Will just wait and see what happens. Don't really want to give up just yet (don't know when I will TBH. Was at Mum's for tea today and it was a bit late and C was getting ratty and asking for milk so I let her have some, I usually say no during the day. Mum commented that she'd be walking and talking (she is) and still having milk from me. Think they don't approve really going on this long but hey, I don't care!). Will have to tackle sleeping before giving up :o.

    I wonder if one day she will just not ask like B but I don't see that day being here any time soon :rotfl:.

    Anyway, back to the question. We have agreed that if I'm not pg by April/May next year we will go on hol to 'firey hell' aka somewhere hot as we've not been on a hot hol for 3 years and OH misses it lots. The ideal would be to catch this month so LO would be born in Aug and would go to school the year after C (so less child care :D). If it happens after this, it will all be good too. If it never happens (as is more possible than usual after OH's op), I would strongly look into fostering when C starts school.

    Don't think this answered your question but I feel better for getting it all out :rotfl:My five year plan for all to see! xxx
    My baby girl :kisses3: September 09 :heartsmil

    Tia - I really don't know what to say at the moment, you must have been beside yourself! I am so glad that Amber is on the mend, and I hope she fully recovers very quickly for you xx

    Dh has just got back with his dodgy bike, he went back down in the car and managed to bump start it...his mate drove our car back. We will have to get it looked at but are so skint atm, will book it in after christmas (along with the car)

    I am just christmas browsing...have seen a lovely garage in ELC £40, £32 using a code...or another one that is £55, but get £20 worth of cars free...Undecided which one to get really. I also want the talking/dancin hand manny toolbox:) That will be him done then, we honestly have soooo many toys in here it is flaming ridiculous and the grandparents will be asking me what to get them soon too. I have had a browse on Argos and picked out a few of the 2 for £15 toys and a few other toys around the £15 mark...they can just decide what they want to get:)

    I always feel so pressured into buying loads at christmas and I really want to cut back...

    Been a bit tearful today, not entirely sure why...but af has arrived after a nearly 8wk gap, so that might have something to do with it!
