    So all night spent in children's a&e with youngest. Steroids and nebs and just got home. The community nurse will visit in the morning (hopefully not too early :o)

    She's now bouncing off the ceiling and I'm ready to collapse in a heap :rotfl:

    So £10 in taxi's and £2.60 in the vending machine :o

    Sorry to hear you had another bad episode with your youngest. I hope all settles down for you.

    When our Son was a baby my husband was working abroad so I also had the long evenings on my own. Whether I felt lonely depended on my mood at that time but I tried a number of things to keep me busy (none of which involved cleaning or housework :rotfl: ).

    I used to do exercise to a video (yes, I know, but it was VHS), make things like candles, soap and clothes, knitted or crocheted gifts and invited a friend round (I was short of these because I had not long moved to the area and had no local relatives). I'd love to say I studied but I didn't. It was hard. There was no social media. I did not even read much as my eyes were too tired

    That's interesting to read SuffolkLass, My husband is away a lot and I'm always lonely/bored in the evening but with no energy to do a lot as smalls get up so early.
  • Morning HI,

    Sorry that DD had a rough night, hope she's a bit better today.

    Try and take it easy today xxx

    Oh no to the A&E visit :( Hope she's feeling better today.

    Try and get some rest, although easier said than done with little ones raring to go xx
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Poor you and poor DD :( Hopefully her asthma will improve as she gets older but it's very worrying for you.

    I hope you have a lovely Saturday :)

  • Thanks all it was definitely a long night by all. The oncall gp was sending an ambulance but it was quicker to get a taxi :o We have a separate children's a&e so it isn't usually bad but Wow my eyes where opened at some of the teens :o I'm scared if that's what I have coming!

    Hairy she hasn't actually been diagnosed with asthma although she does use inhalers/nebs. She has had a lot of issues with her breathing though and they don't know 'why' it happens. She went to bed totally fine at 7 and went to sleep. So it was quite different this time there was no build up or warning. Def keeping me on my toes.

    She was so good for them though they gave her a book of stickers and a teddy :rotfl: they call her princess (name) :rotfl:
