Morning all

Great news from all you money-makers - well done :T:T

Still not doing much on the money front. Virus still in control and just managing to keep up with necessary stuff.

DH went to DSD's yesterday and installed a loft ladder ready to put some flooring in next week. This means we will be able to start putting some of our 'things to keep' up there and make room to sort some more :j

Hugs to all and gws vibes to all the other poorlies

Evening all. Haven't been on for a few days...everything is just so hectic at the moment. Spent one evening in A&E with the 4yr old after she scared the living daylights out of us. She'd had a sickness bug, but then one evening started hallucinating - something we've never experienced before, and I never want to experience again. Having my 4yr old looking at me absolutely terrified and telling me that she didn't know who I was, had never seen me before, and didn't know her own name put the fear of god in me. Fortunately the doctor gave her a good check over, and the all clear. Fast forward 24 hours and she right as rain and causing havoc again. Now the baby has got an ear infection in both ears and is on antibiotics so we've had 2 nights where I've seen pretty much every hour on the clock. And to top it off, I've had a week from hell at work. It'll soon be Saturday!

Managed to keep my matched betting ticking over, and have made £126.24 since I was last on, on Saturday.

Mike you have my sympathy. Baby has just finished his antibiotics this afternoon after his skin infection (and a trip to A&E on Sunday). Waking a grumpy, tired baby in the middle of the night and trying to induce him to take antibiotics was not fun. Eventually I managed to do it so he went back to sleep quickly, but alas I lay awake for hours...

Now I am a total walking zombie and really looking forward to tonight when I don't have to get up in the middle of the night!

Hi all - popping back in to say I am feeling better (flu virus thing going slowly and just got a slight cold) and baby is all better again. I am a walking zombie right now and so no money making recently. Will try and pick some up this weekend again and ease myself back in.

On the plus side, I did some MB a bit when I was ill and somehow I am on £605.87 for the month above my target! I literally have no idea how I have actually managed that.. at least I don't feel guilty for taking time out now!

^^^^^^^^^ this, just this ^^^^^^^^^^^

I spent two years waking up every 2 hours for DS as he didn't feed well. I was so glad at that time I wasn't working as wouldn't have coped with going out to work. I did avon and bit of mystery shopping to bring money in.

Now, I cannot get the little blighter to get up for school in the morning but he is as fresh as a daisy at the weekend!

promise you it will get easier. short term doesn't look like it. it will xx

Thanks - this did make me feel a bit better. I try not to talk about it to anyone as health visitors tell me that I shouldn't feed him in the night as he doesn't need it and until I stop that he'll keep waking... great apart from the fact that he is a greedy little thing and I can actually hear his tummy rumbling in the night no matter how much I try to get him to stuff his face before bed...

Or I have other mummies who look confused and tell me their child has been sleeping through the night from 3 months. Unhelpful... makes me feel like I am useless and doing it all wrong. My gut feel though is that I know baby well enough now that it isn't really my fault and it is just how he is. Hopefully he'll grow out of it..

have a massive virtual hug from me, and CBC, and lynnjk, and Shariann, and everyone else on this thread, whose names escape me for the minute. :A:A:A

never listen to other Mums. their children are perfect. drink perfectly. eat perfectly. Goto bed at 6.30pm and never wake up until 7.00am the next morning.

good for you. am so pleased your children do that for you.

You are Mum. You are Mum to your child. Not them, not health visitors or doctors or anyone else. YOU.

It is exactly how he is. It's extremely tiring for you. It will get better. It will. I just can't tell you when.

Have you spoken to your Doctor about PND? I was too scared to speak to mine thinking I would be brushed off as paranoid new mum... I was brushed off when my son developed a strange skin condition. I had to argue and stand my ground to get him referred. I was correct to get him referred. He had a rare skin condition called Mastocytosis. He is all better now. He is one of the fortunate kids to have grown out of it. I never got help for my PND even though my friend could read my symptoms over the internet.

You are MUM. You know your child. hang in there xx

Evening all. Thanks for the well wishes, and sending get well soons, and chin ups to everybody who needs them. Things are on the up. Both the kiddies are just about back to their normal selves now. The youngest is still a bit of a grump, but think he's on the verge of teething. I'm having an early night tonight, hopefully catch up on a bit of sleep. I need it!

Swimming tomorrow morning with the 4 yr old. Always look forward to watching her. Don't think I've mentioned it with all that has been going on. So we went swimming last Sunday with the grandparents, as we do once a fortnight, and my daughter decided she wanted to "swim without armbands". She enjoys swimming, but only very recently has started putting her face in the water, and is by no means confident or strong enough to be swimming without armbands yet...or so I thought. So she took her armbands off, lowered herself into the pool and I stood off her, about 4 feet away. I told her to push off the wall, and expected one or two frantic splashes before I'd catch her. How wrong was I. She pushed off, and started swimming. I found myself backing away, further and further...until we reached the other side of the pool. She'd swam a full length, unaided. PROUD DADDY! So we did that 2 or 3 more times throughout the 45 mins or so we were in the pool, and video recorded it too for the other grandparents at the opposite end of the country. Originally I thought all the water she'd be swallowing had led to the tummy bug she ended up with on Monday; however by the time she was back in nursery on Thursday, we found out that most of the kiddies that had been at a birthday party on Sunday afternoon had all been off nursery with a sickness bug too.

£30.76 matched betting today for me.

Have a great weekend all.

Thanks for the hug Aesop

Totally agree with you on the above. When my boys were small I hated talking to other mums as it just made me feel inadequate. They weren't particularly bad sleepers, once I started them on solids, but were late developers and very difficult toddlers. It can be very isolating when you are already tired and emotional.
