MSE Parents Club Part 16

Becles

Hope you are ok delain xx

Josh had a tough day at school. His girlfriend and other friends were in the group that were out with the boy and they saw it happen, so he's been with them most of the day. The chapel in school has been open all day and the chaplains are talking to anyone who wants to talk. They put up some huge sheets and everyone has written their memories on them for his parent which I thought was nice.

Someone on babyandbump helped me - you can't use pants points and a voucher code, so by removing the points it displays the voucher code box!

I've ordered 10 more nappies, 5 bumgenius 4.0 aplix (OH can't get on with the poppers) and 5 more totsbots easyfits

I mustn't buy anymore nappies now!

Giz - I much prefer the aplix to be honest, though it can get a bit fuzzy if you're not extra vigilant about folding down and aligning the laundry tabs (which aren't as easy to get at as my Stretchies ones).

I'm currently coveting some itti bitti tuttos

---

We're waiting for a call back from the out of hours service - my poor monkey has a stomach bug and has been distinctly lacking in wet nappies for 24 hours. poor bubba

Becles - how awful . We had a similar incident when I was at school.

Delain - hope you are ok.

I do like that idea Becles. I can't imagine how his parents are feeling

I can say from the bottom of my heart that having pins and needles for three days is really really annoying :mad: but I'm not in any pain or anything. The other doctor said it might be 'ghost' symptoms, and my doctor says to watch and see how things go and to ring back if anthing else happens.

I'm going back in a week to see how things are. She suspected I have a UTI which apparently can cause this 'ghost' whatsit if you feel run down, so when she gets the results back it'll be anti-b's, and then when that doesn't help back to neurology :rotfl:Thing is I was run down and ill in january and I ended up with spots and mouth ulcers, not strange feelings.

I hope I haven't still got this when I go back.

Oh and my mum just rang to tell me that her cat we've had since I was 12 has just had a fit, passed out, woken up and started foaming at the mouth

Mum rang me in a state, she's taking her to the vets but I think they'll probably want to put her to sleep.

She is 14, so she's an old lady but I'm still having to try hard not to cry, I love that cat :(

Oh and I'm sorry I've been no help on the nappy front, I barely cope with puttiing away all the washing we've got, much less nappies.

When my sis was in yr9 one of her school mates died of meningitis.. one of DD1's committed suicide in yr10, another died of pneumonia after a heart and lung transplant for cystic fibrosis in yr11 just after christmas .. and another friend is very very sick with leukaemia.. it is pretty awful.

LO is 6 mths today - where has the time gone, I am back at work 6 weeks today .

She is normally a really easy baby, happy to be in her jumperoo or on her playmat but at the moment she cries the minute she knows she's being put down.

It's a lovely day here today but can't make the most of it as I have a poorly big girl home from school.

I don't go.. I don't like other peoples children and I cannot stand the 'my child is a genius' .. bores me witless..

I used to watch mine from my seat (in ye olden days hwen I was slighly less socially !!!!!! than I am now) and would say 'Angie.. your child has done this to X'... 'Linda, Sprog just did that to Y'.. they hated having to shift themselves but the other parents were really pleased because some of the children were $h!ts and the parents ignored them usually cos noone else dare say anything..
