    Aww Tia, that pic is ace :D

    And if it was my DH, I'd have to tell him... I wouldn't be able to not tell him... But that's just the way we are...
    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.

    Pft. I'm bored. And hungry. And smelly. Dh isn't so good with the socks lol!

    Krystal that looks a good one on her eye! She looks bovvfered by it though!

    Uploaded a pic to facebook of the grinch. You can she's feeling a lot better.

    Wondering if dh got to ikea and has finished our room. I know he was wanting to surprise me. Think by keeping busy he is coping. But he was in tears just seeing her on the drip. I haven't told him about resus. Don't know if I should? Would you tell your oh's? (that your baby was this close to slipping away)

    I love the grinch photo of Amber on FB. I'm so glad she is so much better and fingers crossed you will both be home very soon.

    Personally I would tell OH, but maybe wait until she is safely at home. I'd want to know if it was me, so I would assume OH would too.


    We're having a cheeky curry- yippee :j.

    Had lots of fun being a personal shopper to my Mum today. I helped her choose Christmas pressies for my niece, nephew and H and it was great fun.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    I kind of hinted and said it in not so many words. I'll wait till we are all home and then go over everything.

    I'm managing to eat but getting woken every 2 hours for her obs. Gettng harder now because I don't want to leave her when she is awake and the canteen is a good bit away. Plus it's soo busy.

    I wouldn't tell DH, but only because I know he couldn't handle it. Everyone's different. X

    Edit, actually I don't know, have no idea what it must be like!
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    eta: !!!!!!, Park Resorts tokens can only be used in 2010?! Rubbish.

    Oh poo! Looks like we are not going to Park Resorts then :(

    Haven't got enough to pay in full for any of the other holidays. Been playing around this afternoon, and not sure what else I want from the other reward partners.

    What age did you first leave your kids at home alone. I don't mean all night or anything, but say if you were going to nip the shop or something.

    I think they were about 7-ish. If one was sick, I would leave them at home while I nipped along to school to get the other one. I live next to school so I was only gone 10 mins max, and they were told to stay on the sofa watching TV and not to touch anything else! I wouldn't leave them for any longer than that though.

    I once left Josh and his friend when they were about 9 while I nipped along to collect James from an after school activity. I in a jokey stern voice, no wild parties and no international phone calls. When I came back, they'd put a music channel on and were dancing round the living room with phones in their hands - cheeky monkeys :rotfl:

    They've had quite a bit of freedom playing out, but it's quiet where we live. They've been allowed around our streets, the fields and woods from being around 7-8, and once they got to 10-ish they could go anywhere in the village. If we lived somewhere busier with main roads, I probably wouldn't have been so lenient.

    Lovely pic Krystal, but shame about her eye. Hope the bruising goes soon xx

    Tia - pleased Amber is on the mend and keeping my fingers crossed that you get home tomorrow. I would tell OH afterwards when she is fully better in case he found out later.

    Had tea just as the people out the back were letting off fireworks so we had a lovely display through the dining room doors while we ate :D

    It's Jack's first year with fireworks and he's a bit scared and sulking on the stairs. Bob is in his bed growling randomly. Poor doggies!
    Here I go again on my own....

    I have a fussy three year old.

    She is not fussy in the usual sense and she has a very healthy diet (vegetables are her favourite food) but it is VERY limited (to about six meals - vegetable curry, chille bean casserole, spag bol, sausages, vegetable soup, fish and potatoes - all with lots of veg) . This is really becoming a problem as she gets older as I am starting to worry about what she will eat at friends houses as she does not eat 'so called' normal foods.

    The main problem is that from an early age, if she has had foods she doesn't like, she retches on them and finally throws up. She is willing to try them (with encouragment) but it has become such an issue because it ends with her being sick. I never make an issue of it but I can tell it will happen as her whole stomach seems to reject the food. It always ends with her dinner thrown up (almost immediately) and I just don't know how to change it. We eat as a family and I have tried so hard to increase the variety of food but to no avail, it always ends the same. We all had omelette tonight and she ate the veg, new pots but then on the omelette, she gagged and threw her whole meal back up. I know it is most likely psychological so started with just one mouthful of new food on her plate but this still happens. This has happened from an early age and is the reason why I have been unable to change her diet (as it is healthy I haven't been too concerned but as she is getting older, I can see it will be a huge issue if it doesnt improve).

    Anyone else dealt with a vomiting child, I really am stuck with what to do. :(

    Okay, my post makes no sense at all now it is in here. Its one way to get lost I guess. :(
