AF proving a little tardy this month.. I hate waiting for her visit.
Tiddles and DS2 hair minced
Wool bought for teachers blanket, I shall start that as soon as I have finished this shawl.. or I may knit it when I get bored of fans, then I shall do squares.
TD on
1 dry load folded and away
front room vacuumed
pc desk moved,
changing table dismantled
DD1 finally got a drs appointment.. 7 weeks it took!!!!! So she has drugs to stop her sicking hopefully, she is back on Tuesday and if it is no better she is being admitted to hospital until it is! She has lost nearly 2 stone and the baby is small
DD2 is seeming happier this morningShes just slobbing about in her pj's but is ok.. nothing has been heard from 'him'.
food snaffled.. I may knit for a bit before I need to get these pesties off to bed! While my dinner settles.. first proper sized meal I've eaten in days and I think if I move it will spill back outI've lost 5lb this week.. that is unheard of for me.. I'm one of those people that loses 2oz a month! I need this tummy issue under control I think.

DS decluttered from Uni. He still has some stuff there but it can be transferred directly to his new place when he gets the keys, so we shall go over and do that in a few weeks.
Most packaging (plastic commercial mailer bags) taken to dump. Took box of bubblewrap with me. Brought it back wrapped round his pots.
Had genius idea - ald! selling little folding cart/trolley things for £14.99 so bought one to help with lugging uni stuff!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Aww. DS tried on his onesie - it's a tiger one (he does love his tiger teds) and has the feet in. His feet are too big for it, and the legs a little short. So I've chopped off the feet, and somehow it all seems to work ok. Bit of an ankle grazer but will be fine for camping and means if he needs the loo in the night I won't have to get him undressed - he can pop his shoes on.
He's now prowling around in it. With the feet on his hands :rotfl: "these are my claws" bless him!
Absolute downpour here just now...Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -

Does DD1 have hyperemesis? I had it with both my pregnancies hence why I only have 2 children. I was very ill but I won't fill you with my horror stories.0 -
Evening all! Just popping in quickly to send hugs to all who want or need one x
I'm in the middle of packing and heading away at stupid-o'clock in the morning so won't be on the new thread until Thursday.

Yes. She was ill all the way through with Samuel and weighed less after he was born than she did before she was pregnant.. fortunately this time she started off heavier so losing weight is ok for her but the baby is much smaller than she should be.
She has vomited on tutors at college, in classroom bins, over herself.. even drinks back into the glass she just drank them from..
Her former gp gave her nothing and told her to put up and shut up at least while this new one took forever to register her he is taking her seriously!!

Sounds so familiarI lived on ice cubes, only way to keep anything down. I was the same with the weight. I had pills from the doctor but they didn't work. I ended up in hospital on a drip for most of my pregnancy (both times)
I'm glad she's found an understanding doctor. I felt so alone as it doesn't seem a very common condition and people thought I was being a drama queen and that I should just shut up and get on with it.
Tell her I really feel for her and do really understand x0
