peppapig - glad the scan went well.

Feisty. big congrats again shes adorable.. love the name (my dd2 is Eleanor too ) my dd3 was also tiny at 5lbs full term. no clothes fit do they lol. she looks so tiny in her picture too. Don't think anything actually prepares you for the big shock of parenthood better than actually doing it. Take things easy though. xx

Spring is nearly with us girls... more sun is needed by lots of us by the sounds of it.

Take care you all and look after yourselves.

Peppapig The others have already said it all but just wanted to say thinking of you at this doubly difficult time

had taz home all wk as dd gave us this awful flu type bug luckily he seems to have had it pretty mild but I can't remember the last time I felt this bad. It seems to be doing the rounds so keep an eye open for symptoms as it comes on pretty quickly & your medicine cabinet well stocked

Just popping in to congratulate Feisty and family. Eleanor is absolutely gorgeous. Take care and look after yourself.

Sending hugs to everyone who is dealing with 'stuff' at the moment.

I'm not too bad with a paintbrush vulpix, just need lots of time to do it!

Hi, everyone,
Peppapig, so sorry you are going through the mill just now, thinking of you.
Feisty, didn't you do well!!!!! congratulations on the birth of the beautiful Eleanor.
Nothing Christmas related is happening in the invis chez, but (fanfare of trumpets and a drum roll please) I have a new roof!!!!!!!!!!!
How daft is it, tho, all the time the lads were working on the roof l felt guilty if l was sitting down, so l have repainted the living room, and am suffering for it.
And l am on a roll so the dgds room is next in the plan. So l best get up and get going!!! hugs to everyone, but carefully, as l have a cold/ sinusitis-ey type bug which l don't want to pass on.

Fiesty What a little beauty, congratulations. xx

Vulpix Hope your mood lifts asap hunny. x

MrsI Well done on the new roof!

I have been back in hospital for the past week. Originally started at local hospital then was induced in a coma and blues and twos back to the neuro hospital. Everything has calmed down and I am back out. Apparently the intensive care staff were amazed when the surgeon check my pressure inside head using the "wand" (I am the 16th person in the UK to have this equipment so staff don't see how it works often)

Trying to work on saving money to go away in a couple of months and also preparing for birthdays and Xmas as the year goes by. My two eldest Goddaughters are staying with me soon I can't wait!

Hope everyone else is well and sending hugs all round. xx

Just purchased my dad a t shirt for his birthday in May and my brother a t shirt for his birthday in July both for under a tenner from sports direct. Treated myself to shoes , jeans , hoody from there as well! And opened up another saver account for my next holiday so feeling good. Think I might declutter my room today xx

Where are you lovely lot? I had a good sort out of my room and wrapped a few xmas presents for a repeat xmas we are having at friends house on valentines day. They sent me up a cooked roast and presents to the hospital when I was in on Xmas day.
Also started writing a list of gifts and cards I have and need for occasions throughout the year. My brothers birthday in July is pretty much done , he will have two t shirts , couple of bottles of ale , a novelty flannel and I will get him one more thing and a nice card.

My mum has a nice card already for mothers day and when I go asda later will get her something so I am prepped for that. Got my best friend a gift already for her birthday in April so feeling pretty prepared already. I miss so much when I am poorly so need to up my game.

Anyway hope you guys are having a good Saturday! Catch you later. x

Oh V I hate it when strangers manage to upset you so badly! Big hugs to you. Can you have a bit of escapism for a bit? Maybe a nice candle lit bath or if the bathroom is under renovation, perhaps you could go and have a sauna and swim or maybe your nails done?

Yay for the new roof but boo to making yourself poorly! Be kind and gentle to yourself, I wish you a speedy recovery!

Oh JJ you never fail to amaze me! You're really poorly and yet you're still so blooming organised for christmas and birthday! Enjoy the time with your god daughters!

Thank you all for your lovely well wishes. It is very hard as she has reflux, but we are slowly muddling our way into some routine. Poor DH is now ill and we think it was bought on by the stress of the last few weeks, all day hospital trips for him in the next county (terrifying with a newborn!) And the stress of getting an appointment at the Newcastle transplant centre in may and learning he has to stay there for 5 days! Hopefully he will recover quickly!

Hope everyone is doing well x
