Hi all

Thanks for all the messages of support - me and DH really appreciate them all. I read some out to him and could see his eyes filling up before he quickly left the room. Definitely must be stressing him out, last time i saw him look like that was when DD2 was born;) . Her bloods went well today:D , no problems and they are posting all the results to my dad for me so we don't have to go through it all again when we go home. Dr is also going to get a recommendation for treatment or not from their guru doctor who specialises in cases like DD2. Watched "My Child Won't Eat":eek: last night and they had a kid on who was just like madam, followed the instructions the doc gave on the programme and madam ate all her tea! First time in weeks she has eaten a full meal and tonight was the first night in ages she hasn't asked for a bottle and she fell asleep no pproblems!:D

Housing wise:mad: - everywhere we went today the walls came crashing down with "cant help" or "nothing to do with us" or "no not entitled to help":mad: . So haev gotten contact details for MSP's in inverness and am phoning the lot of them tomorrow. We have a meeting with the "families":rotfl: office in the morning and AWS in the afternoon. I know i will end up bursting into tears with them - am just so bloody frustrated. But they are faxing my houseing application to the council for me with a letter.

Hubby is putting in his official complaint about bullying and a complaint against the discharge tomorrow morning as well. Apparently when he does this, all the discharge stuff is supposed to stop and his pay and everything reinstated. If that happens then we are going to sit and demand that we be relocated to inverness to a house there immediately. That way, if it all goes pear shaped, i'm home and they cannot do what they are doing here!

Positive wise, phoned a company about a job that i thought DH could do. It's £14000 a year (half what he earns now) but when i told them his military qualifications they sounded really interested. If he could get this it would be such a foot in the door. And I have seen a no-brainer in the local morrisons that i could apply for in the evenings so we could split looking after the kids and not have to pay anyone. Its only £400 a month but it comes with profit sharing and 10% discount on shopping (every little helps!)

I feel for my mam and dad, they are so anxious about getting us home, my dad was cursing the fact that they only have a small house. I think if he could my dad would fly over here and create holy hell, so its up to me to do it for him haha.

And to top it all off I got told today i have my pre-marchout on thursday:eek: my whole house is a tip so tomorrow its a roll of bin bags and sleeves rolled up. Gonna let hubby do downstairs (he can move the furnitureand stuff. And i will do the kids rooms and our room, we will both have to do the attic as i don't go up there alone.

But don't worry folks - I'm not taking their carp and they are going to get a shock cos for the first time in 8 years i am going to let rip!!!

Will update tomorrow when i get the chance!

Thanks to you all again, I really appreciate it and i know DH does as well. Love you all for it!

Morning all

Lil-me - hope things go ok with the Doc this morning.
Bonsi - good luck with the cleaning and the complaint! With hubby's army chef qualifications, I'm sure there'll be no problem with him getting a job back in civvy street once you get there.

Slept heavily last night - which is a change from last week when I seemed to be waking up all through the night - but it means I'm all bleary eyed at the moment. Will jump in the bath and then go do work.

Have a good day ladies.

Morning All

Piddling it down here this morning so no washing out today.

Quite an eventful day yesterday. I found out I am being moved to a new class in September to work with a new teacher. Exciting but, I will miss working with the team I work with at the mo.

DS1 went for his final speech therapy assessment . The therapist said that she doesn't think the speech exercises have given any significant improvement. We expected this as the Therapist said at the beginning of the treatment that she thought the problem was a physical one. He is now going to referred for a second opinion and possibly scans. She said they would be unlikely to recommend surgery (thank heavens) as the impediment is not severe enough to prevent him being understood.

Was back late last night so will need to catch up after school today.

Doh1 forgot to get meat out of the freezer last night, so can't put anything in the SC this morning.

Right off to check my ever growing list of jobs.

hello all

not had chance to read the thread yesterday or today but just popping on to say hi.

I'm heading to Birmingham with work tonight until tomorrow night so I won't be around then either.

Have got some flying type activity done. Last night we cleared a lot of the mess in the spare room - i have turbo listed a load of stuff on ebay and just need to upload it tomorrow night (10 day listing on pigpen's advice). Have also listed a couple of bits on amazon. need to phone the council today as our recycling hasn't been collected (as usual...), and post some stuff to my mum.

right, going into work late but still need to get a shower etc!

Not doing too bad so far, have even ventured under the bed:eek: Most of it is hubbys crap though so cant fling it. Got rid of some of my stuff though and left some of his stuff in the hall so he can let me know if i can get rid:D

lil_me

Lucifa huge congratulations to you!
Bonsibabe - as far as the pre march out goes, tell them, you've had this thrown upon you being poopered on from a great big height at very short notice, your life is in complete turmoil so they will have to just take you as they find you given the circumstances.
Mudbath ((hugs)) for you & the family

I like my new doctors, just phoned them and got an appointment at 4.10pm today. That would have taken 3 weeks at the last one. As far as the assignment is concerned it's not been going anywhere, I haven't been able to concentrate or sit and do it without falling asleep seriously that's how bad it's got. I've had a good sleep last night, was asleep before 10.30pm (very unusual for me) up at 7.30am (DP did DSs middle of the night wakes) and I am sat here yawning my head off, falling asleep in my museli (which I have threw strawberries etc in for vitamin boost!) I've done the first question and plan to spend some more time on it today.

It was interesting reading through comments, I have had anaemia before but I take Iron supplements daily (because my body isn't good at absorbing nutrients) so don't think it is that. I have had those colds which included very swollen glands etc so that's a possible one. I read a little on CFS/ME and a lot is similar to that, but my main concern at present is it's my liver. Some of the Flyladies already know I've had some bad liver problems in the past, I have several benign liver tumours (8) and the symptoms are similar from when I was diagnosed, because aswell as the aches and pains, tiredness etc I am very itchy. So I'll be requesting a LFT just incase. Anyway we'll see what the GP says when I go there today, so far she's been lovely so hoping she will listen today. It's frustrating more than anything because I am not used to being held back because of tiredness.

I think it's going to turn out nice here today, clouds are slowly going away (poured down last night which saves me watering the garden) so might get some of the laundry dry outside, only got one load left and I am back to 'normal' but need to do our sheets.
