In_Search_Of_Me

hi Bob...yup she's been to gp who is excellent, as is health visitor. Spent the day today and went to clinic and will go again on Monday for the day and will take some soup. shes doing all the right things and pacing herself and was a bit brighter today. I've asked them to lunch or supper on sunday if she feels up to it - a chage of scenery where baby b can scream happily may do her the world of good but think we'll have to play it by ear and see day to day...
Managed to get my unpicking for the banner (a job I offered to do) and its now in the machine. Feeling ok as had a nice day with more baby cuddles and hes def smiling and chatting now but thats ok cos I speak baby!! Icredible how much poo can come out of such a little thing though!
Back to w*** tomorrow but have visits all day so time tends to go fast. Treated myself to a nice lidl roast dinner which was 1/2 the price of m&s and just as nice lol! Will have to be restrained when I go to the show on sat because I can resist anything but temptation! Am being good and have turned heating down and in jumper and socks...dead sexy!!

hi ISOM i take my hat off to you helping your friend out like you have done. I love my nieces and nephews dearly but find them so tiring, they were much easier before they got personalities if you know what i mean
I don't seem to get online so much recently, must be marriage lol. Either that or i can't reach the keys with all the layers on. I had to give up and turn on the heating last night, but it's not made any difference we're still only at 13/14! I hate storage heaters, i'm terrified to turn them on because of the costs yet when i do turn them on they make no difference grrrrrrrrrr.
Have you done much scrapping recently? i've got to print wedding photo's out to start scrapping them

hi all, still feel a bit cack but def going to the show so will now look see where were meant to go lol! then hoovering and sort washing up etc before a nice day out. Still feeling a bit coldy but will push through it and take more vitamins...I'd been lax on taking echinacia and 1000mg vit c that I try to do religiously in winter as it does seem to help me stave of colds..just started a bit late lol!!
No scrapping done of late lt as been focussed on the patchwork! Heating is a mare and my bills have just gone up to 100 a month for gas and elec but I loathe being cold...debating whether to get an electric blanket...mum swears by them. Really is very cold here this am and even with heating on, socks and fan am still quite chilly!!
No news of friend but will ring before I go off. I am confident that she will feel better soon and am more than happy to assist. Its awful seeing people you care about feel so low and I know that, as a good friend, she will be there for me in other ways when I need it...For me a good friendship is ups and downs and while one down, the other is up and does the supporting and it all evens out in the end! Plus I get lovely baby cuddles which for me, with none of my own and never likely to have, its extra special!

Hope the show has been worth it ISOM, and definately wrap up warmly.

hello all! Had a lovely time at the show and kept within budget. Got a few bits - a kit of a beautiful hand stitched panel which will be framed; a tool for basting which I can honestly say that if it was a man I'd marry it and a pencil that does dark and light and can be rubbed out. Have used the baster and its soooo much easier than sewing it all and as its the bit that I loathe and chuffed. Plus in typical dfw style managed to get some extra "ties" free so definately bargainous!
Also got an electric blanket which is lusious! my mum raves about hers and I can see why now! all yummy and snuggly!
Been feeling very cacky so bed by 8.30 and slept until 10 and will have a snooze this pm...feel better than I dd and am dosed up with vitamins and just having a gentle at home day which is much needed. The weeks caught up on me a bit....my friend is still struggling but I'll spend the day again tomorrow and will take my tapestry with me so at least I get something done!
All in all an expensive day yesterday and bank balance looking dire...thankfully I have lots of food in so wont need to spend much but when you consider that I spent nearly a hundred quid on petrol last wk its no wonder!!

Is there a side to you we don't know about..marrying a baster?:rotfl: Hope you feel better soon.x

hehe I do have an answer to that but its a public forum!! Just popping in before another early night...still feel fluey and leccy blanket is on and off I go in mo...a no spend day at least!! Also finished the quilt for baby b so hope it will be dry and I can take it with me tomorrow so he can lie/puke all over it!! Also suspect that I've lost a bit of a tooth so dentist is also needed!!
