Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 2

Flybaby

and it looks like your busy week next week is going to have to be cleared if you have caught it babes. (No arguing - you know your body can't cope with any additional pressure at the moment, you are running on empty as it is. Plus of course, you have to practise what you preach and can't take it into work.) So feeling for you right now.

I don't think she will, quite stubborn. (cant think where she gets that from). Told hubby that we blame her for something beyond her control, we don't, but is something to painful to talk about. Have tried but she says to forget it. Just don't want to miss granddaughter growing up, she is my shadow and constantly sits on my lap during visits

ah stubbornness (i think that's why me and my mum clashed in the past we are as bad as each other), you say you said to hubby, how did she hear about what you'd aid or did you say it to her as well? obviously i don;t know what's been said, but going back to what i;ve said about people saying things they don;t mean my mum once said something very hurtful to me (though has denied saying it ever since), at the time it hurt me a lot and went towards me wanting to move out (and escape to uni), but looking back, at the time i realise she was hurting and trying to deal with a difficult situation and deep down didn't mean what she'd said to me.

i hope your daughter has time to think about it and that you can come to an agreement about seeing yourgranddaughter

I hope she does,(wont sleep tonight, thought would blow over) we had argument i answered back for once fed up of being spoken too like a fool. she sat in car crying,(didnt know) she spoke to hubby and said she that we all blamed her.

Ah melly, I have total sympathy for you. I caught mumps as an adult from an outbreak at the uni I worked for and it sucks. There is no way a doctor would tell anyone to go back to work as it is infectious and can cause sterility in men and is dangerous for pregnant women. Plus, it's not a whole lot of fun. Hope you feel better soon.

Shazza, perhaps you need to arrange a meet with your daughter and clear the air somewhat. You could maybe find a way to let her know that the argument wasn't important but she is. Don't make it about your granddaughter - let her know that you love her and want her in your life, otherwise it will seem like you're doing it to see your granddaughter.

Finally, after three days of nothing, I have started on the assignment due for next Tuesday. I guess there are some advantages to being an insomniac!


Shazza - hope you manage to get some sleep.


Moo - gentle squishes for your poorly bumps


Wassie - you ok today?

Hello. :hello:

Hugs, squishes and handshakes all round.

Sorry to hear everyone one is stressed/ill/overworked.

I've been browsing as well. Not bought anything yet either.

I know my exact words to em were
My OH is infertile from catching mumps at 22 and you think I'm going to believe you were told that to work is fine? When the majority of the workforce are men, and at least half are young?

I'm going to the walking centre today to check. I don't look as swollen today and I'm fairly sure mumps don't last 4 or 5 hours lol.

They were told it was either mumps or glandular fever neither of which should be brought in to work, I believe both are contagious before symptoms start and for about a week after.

The problem is HR brought in the Bradford score so people panic about being off this doesn't mean you bring in blumin contagious disses tho.

Just spent loads on boxes and cellophane and ribbons for the hampers. I swear home made presents end up being more expensive than stuff you buy in the shops. I know it's a bit early but trying to get as much as I can possibly get just now in the hope it will be cheaper.
