    Punky.. that is very sad.. but as you say.. life goes on and we have to be thankful for what we have. If it is any consolation I was told I would never have children I have had 7 m/c's, suffered secondary infertility (and am back there now & looking into egg sharing now as it is cheaper than IVF!) but I am VERY thankful of what I have.. and there is always hope.. you did it once, you WILL do this again! I am glad there is no permanent problem though and hope next time things will be very different for you. ((((( hugs))))) You kow where we are if you ever feel you need an ear.. other than that.. stop watching the TV and get the rest of that clenaing done.. slacking off.. don't let that Moggins catch you.. :p

    I'm off to reload the WM's AGAIN.. it is getting a bit boring now.. loads 5 & 6 here I come!

    Oh.. and if their antics keep you going.. DD3 is just sweeping a bowl of dry rice krispies under the freezer and she thinks I can't see her.. but once she has shoved them all under.. I'm going to make her get them all out again! lol

    Dd5 just told me she has snot. She told me she had hurt her hand earlier.. I asked how.. she said hitting her sister!!!

    they are mad!!

    Punky - sorry to hear your news, I had a miscarriage before I had my two kids so I know how devastating it is. You can always PM me if you want to. Hugs to you all

  • Hi Punky

    I'm sending big hugs to you. Take care of yourself and like others have said, we're always here to listen xxx

    Lol pigpen!!! My eldest is only 19 months but shes already showing signs of being a right little madam!

    She said her very first sentence the other day. Guess what it was - 'Mummy more cake please'. Typical!!

    She has also started helping me with the housework. Her favourite job is putting things in the bin for me. She does take this job a little too seriously though as yesterday I had to fish half of the living room out of there!

    Bless em!

    Hi Pink Butterfly

    I got rid of my big kitchen bin after DS put his brand new shoes in there. They cost me £26 and very nearly ended up in the bin wagon.

    Everything went in there - toys, clothes, etc. as well as the normal rubbish!

    Hugs to you Punky xx
    Moggins - hope you're feeling better.

    I've worked this morning and am now going to do an hour of tidying.

    Jobs to do:
    1) Tidy bedroom
    2) Vacuum bedroom
    3) Empty washing machine
    4) Load washing machine
    5) Vacuum downstairs
    6) 27 fling boogie thing as there's lots of things in the wrong place!
    7) Clean a window.

    I'll be back on later to cross all these out when I've done them. Can't wait.
    January budget
    Nothing left!
  • Lol Julie! I see by your signature that your DS enjoys doing that sort of thing!

    My DD has an almost magical quality of being able to put things in places that I have no idea about. She hid my mobile phone once and it took me days to find it.

  • Punky...I'm so sorry to hear your news..Sending Hugs your way.

    Bebee....Glad the eye's better , won't be long now 'till the swelling's gone too.
    I hope your OH's Op goes OK.

    Well my 2 are driving me mad today ,all they've done is argue and get under my feet ....so nothing done here ...gonna make a start now and try and salvage some of the day .

    Good job I took them to Clarkes today The eldest has gone up to a size 2 ..and she's only 7:eek: ....costing me a fortune !

    punky I'm so sorry flower, thinking of you, I've had two miscarriages and they're not nice x

    Bebee Glad you're on the mend, and all the best to your OH x

    pigpen I love reading about your lots antics, how I wish I could live at your house, it sounds a riot :D

    Still not done the rest of my list cause I'm having a struggle within myself at the mo, dad-in-law has offered to get my car back on the road, do I take up his offer which means I can go out whenever I wish, or say nay and sit in the house all week and never see anyone, but, save a fortune as I'm not at the shops? hmmmmmmm *strokes chin*
