Enjoy the afternoon clare, we're still suffering from sleep deprivation as cal is no better, (ended up with a nosebleed at about midnight and I was too wound up to sleep afterwards, kept checking on him and making sure he could breath ok) and it now looks like Kierans starting with it. I suppose the good thing is that there not missing any school.

Awww I hope Cal is Ok. It must have been such a shock for you as you had usued it from when he was a baby. Maybe it was a faulty batch.
It seems like it has been a long couple of weeks even having the extra couple of days doesn't feel like its made a difference. I'm having tomorrow afternoon off to do something with the kids and lee.
26/3/08 08:31
you were up late last night clare, I've had a bad couple of days as cals been poorly with a bad cold/throat etc and then last night he had a reaction to calpol (luckily I'd only put it on a mouth ulcer) but his whole face swelled up so we ended up at the hospital and we're all totally shattered now this morning, They can't say for sure it was the calpol and they've never come across it before but its too much of a coincidence that it started 5 mins after having, I'm just grateful that I have him neurofen for his temp as I've been having nightmares about what would have happened if he'd swallowed it. It is strange though as he's had calpol since he was 3 months off so its not as though he's never had it before, the out of hours dr said it would just be a coincidence that it occurred at the same time but I'm not trying it again.
Anyway, hows things with you, back at work yesterday after a long weekend?

Anyone around?
23/3/08 08:59
I'm only about 5 weeks so going to leave it a little while before going to see mw. Have only told my 2 close friend so far. Mam can wait as she tends to worry too much.
23/3/08 08:48
congrats again clare, at least, we had a good covering of snow between 4am & 6am buts its gone off the road although the park & grass are still quite covered so no doubt the kids will go in the garde, good excuse not to put the trompoline up as I'm ont freezing in this.

Morning!
No snow last night and the sun is shining this morning. I think we may go to the park and do some egg rolling this morning. I must check if we have any eggs or I will be going to my Mam's for some.
It is still early stages but it looks like another november baby.
22/3/08 19:08
We've just noticed that its snowing now and settling so hopefully it will carry on overnight and we can have a good play out tomorrow (may have to send DH to get the snow suits out of the loft, lol)
Is it a bit too early for congratulations then clare? Then again with my two I'm inclined to say you must be a glutton for punishment, then again I'd quoite like another baby so long as you can hand them back when they get to about 2 or 3 years, certainly wouldnt like another one at this age.

Could be?
Weather has been good for us today. Had a couple of spots of snow but nothing much. the wind has been strongish but other than that the sky has been blue.
22/3/08 18:30
no 3 on the way?????(lol)
Hope you've had a better day than us clare, the wind has been so bad but we've had snow & hail blizzards every hour or so, luckily the ground is wet so hasn't settled but even doing the shopping has been a nightmare.
22/3/08 18:10
Have some news!
21/3/08 23:41
Just looked at the weather. The winds are going to continue. Its going to rain on Sunday and Monday. Looks like we will be just nipping out places in and out of the rain etc.
21/3/08 13:42
morning clare, not so much busy with the kids as just busy full stop, we've not got any plans to go out over easter as the traffics normally bad so we're just pottering round the house & garden and being quite boring really. We were going to go out for a walk (somewehere a bit like the hoad in ulverston) but its just so windy we're going to leave it today and see what its like tomorrow.
21/3/08 08:57
Hello, Just thought I would pop in and see if anyone has been in, no. You must be having a good time with the kids. We haven'y decided what we are doing yet. Just getting kids in the bath!
19/3/08 22:37
I have been sooo busy at work I have been too tried to come on the computer. I have made an effort tonight as we are at the party tomorrow.
Hope you are both ok.
19/3/08 19:28
can't believe we've gone 3 days without anyone posting, lol.
16/3/08 20:45
we're fine here thanks clare, Sorry you're meal didn't go too well, do you think its a bit of insecurity with Ella or is she coming down with something.
We had a nice night as both kids stayed round MIL's from 4pm until this afternoon so we had a relaxing evening although a late one as we had to wait up till 11pm to see if Marks balloon flight was on or off, as it turned out it was cancelled so we went to the RAF museum and had a peaceful wander round without the kids, Picked them up about 3pm and done the normal dinner, bath, ironing & bed routine luckily only had 2 items finish tonight so have been chilling out watching the skating.
Looks like Gem's abandoned us again, hope everythings ok.

Meal was nice up until a point where my brother phoned and said that Ella was screaming and we shoiuld come and get her. We ate or starters and asked for the main meal to be boxed up. When we got home Ella was upset but mam said we should have stayed for the meal. Not what my brother had told us! She is fine now. Lee is going to pick Oliver up soon. We are having dinner at mam's today as the football is on and dad wont go out!
Going to do a load of ironing so that I'm straight for next week.
How is everyone?

Me and Lee are going out for a meal at my favourite restaurant tonight. I think I will have a little nap this afternoon.














Awww Joe, I hope they get over it soon. You willl need a week off yourselfto recover.
I am finding that even though the kids are sleeping through, I 'm still very tired. Will have to try to catch up at the weekend.
