Thank you everyone:A esp JackieO for such wisdom as always:D
It would seem that it has started again with a vengance so panic is over:o
The whole issue is bittersweet for me as I never planned to only have one child and would dearly love to have more but I cant do it. DS needs so much care and always will and he has to come first before anything I want. To care for him properly takes all of my effort and dedication and looking after another little person is unthinkable. The whole thing would be so traumatic for DS too and I cant do that to him. So I have shut it away and dont think about it. One of the worst things about thinking I was pregnant was the feeling that I had let him down.
The house is very quiet without the cat:(0 -
Afternoon all,
Got my winterboots this morning!
Saw Dr. Grandad is fingers crossed coming to live the rest of his days at home on tuesday. They can't give a time frame, he won't get any better than he is now though
He is suffering from amaloidosis (sp?) anyone got any experience of it? His is in his heart and stomach.
Jackie- got your pm will give you a text later!
Congrats JG xx

JackieO - Speaking of training children… My DS9 is nearly more frugal then I am sometimes! Told me that having a baby just after Christmas means he doesn’t need much from me for Christmas, because the baby will need more and I need to save my money!
Shalva – Thank You
Rosy Red – It was nice of you to notice J
NPM – How sad, after I had DS9 I was told I shouldn’t have more children (Obviously that issue has been corrected), but each time I had a scare it was very bittersweet when you get a negative test, my heart goes out to you.
Ps. What’s wrong with the cat exactly, and how old is she? It seems very similar to a case I had with one of my cats…?

NPM - Sorry to hear that, it isn't the same, so I can't offer advice. I can only give you my understanding about how expensive those investigations can be. I hope she get's better soon xWe spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like.

Hi JG welcome back, I was only thinking about you the other day. So nice to hear your postitive news. I have been on and off the GI bandwagon, but I do try. Currently have 8 of us at home so hoping when they all [EMAIL="s@d"]s@d[/EMAIL] off I can get back on track.
Thanks everybody for your good wishes re the money situation. I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried but DH is good in a crisis and usually manages to pull something out of the bag. Just so fed up of struggling

Congrats to JulieG.
Hugs to NPM, cycle went haywire too, at 35 I was told I had started the menopause, that turned out to be my youngest son!
At 40 my periods stopped when my mother died (very stressful with exDH etc) Doctor told me I was pregnant, it that's so it the worlds longest pregnancy, I'm 60 now & not had another one since the week before Mum died!
hugs Hester

afternoon all
just popping in to say congrats to julieg :j:j
i have been having the occassional lurk but not doing anything os so feel a fraud posting todaythings are still pretty much the same. i am either really low or hyper. today... well i dont know what i am
one min feel like crying and the next feel full of energy and my mind is racing. its exhausting
have horrible pain todaythought it was a uti or something again but feels like a period pain instead. period isnt due though. my last period wasnt long ago. well if you can call it that. i had the worst period pains that i've ever had but only very light bleeding for a day! painkillers just isnt shifting it
maybe i'm having sympathy pains for npm :think:
anyway hope everyone else is ok"I have learnt that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one""You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”Maya Angelou0
