Hi Girls,
Thanks for the love. Its been hectic and stressful lately. I've had so little time to do much. A lot has been happening in such a short space of time.
My tutoring started tues, I've got alot to do to get them thro the exam.
Taking on the playleader job at 2's for about 12wks. explain more when I geta chance.
Grandas op postponed to 31st. Home just now but not too well.
Funeral was thurs. It was horrible. There were litterally hundreds there. The chruch is huge yet there were still ppl standing outside. The grave side was private so they were all there as we went in. That was the hardest bit of all. Adams dad was first, I didnt say anything, I dint kniw what to say. I just gave him a hug. He he was crying thanking us for coming, saying how much we'd helped by talking about it with Adam. i didnt think he was going to let go of me. You know when you pull back and they hug you again. It sort of stopped the train of people at us and Adam got a chance to look at us. By the time I got away from Pete, Adam was crying and I just couldnt stop by this stage. He was doing so well until he saw us. The service was very open. Explaining why and her mental illnesses and the depression and how she felt a burden to everyone. Just talking about it made me cry again. I could see Adam shaking. Pete and the 3 boys carried her out themselves. I thought that was very brave of them. When we got back to the hotel, Adam was standing at the door, he said he just needed away for a minute. You just dint know what to say. I just hugged him, I now think I prob shouldnt have as he started crying agian and I thought we were going to be there ages. He was so greatful to see us. I'm glad I was strong enought to go. I found it really hard but I'm glad for Adams sake we did go.
I'm finding the week hard. Its hard not seeing him everyweek. I keep thinking about the funeral when i lie in bed at night.
I cant stay tho, steven has a party today so I need to get organised.
Be back sometime when I get a chance
Thanks agian for the support xxx

Thanks for the support guys.
I will be back I promise. I'm just so so busy just now. I really wish I had the chance to get on as you guys give me so much support and I'm finding this week a real struggle. Pni wise I'm feeling fine just flustered and upset about all this. The boys are ill but I'm handling that ok/ Its just soooo hectic just now. I was out last night with my parents and inlaws at a country music night. i didnt feel much like going esp when steven cried asking me not to go. I'm glad I did tho as I really enjoyed myself and OH had the boys so i could settle with that. Have a slight hangover today and knackered as not home till 1 and kids up at 6! Think i'm going to take the opportunity to have a nap while they are.
Be back as soon as I have more time
thanks again guys you're all great xxxx

Hi guys,
Its hard going again today. I'm tired and mum was being difficult. She seems jealous of my friends. Its like when shes there I should be there not with them. She appeared at my house today while I was out. I got a txt saying I've been here since 12, now 1.30, if ure not home soon I'm going home. I told her to call when she was nearly there! Being difficult!!
The funeral is still playing on my mind. Found out for def what happened. She hung herself with her dressing gown cord. She had tried at home on tues night. So was put in on tue night. She then did it at the hosp the nxt afternoon. Unbelieveable they would leave her unattendended when she had nearly done it just the day b4!
Put in form for playgroup 2day.
Steven really clingy just now. Not sure how to stop it. Any suggestions?
better go, not made tea yet!

God my life has suddenly turned hectic! lol
Steven is 3 in june. hes due to start the anti-pre nursery after the summer. Tremble!!! I'm nervous about it. Hes really become such a mummys boy lately. I cant leave his sight without him going into a mad panic. If I go to the toilet and toddlers or any of the other groups he needs to come or he screams. I just dont know how to deal with it. I dont know how to gradually relieve this. Think I might start a thread for advice. I think I'll need all my time from not till aug to sort this. he doesnt even like satying with my OH, and wont go to my mums for a sleep over anymore and he used to love that!
Little Stuart is such a grump lately. I cant make up my mind if its teeth ot what. Hes been really bad for weeks now. I had him at the doc weeks ago and they said they cant find anything. Its still in the back of my mind that it could be his abcess. But I dont know. Sometimes I think its just the pni thinking. But the wee toot obviously has something worng. he wont sleep at all. Day or night. He naps thro the day for about30 mins 2x. And sleeps about 4-5 hrs at night. When hes not sleeping hes pretty much screaming. I'm not sure whats up. Hes got a touch of a cold so I'm topping him up with homeopathic remedys and calopl in the hope it makes a diff. Fingers crossed!
Any of you guys in pigsback? Just a brain movement there lol
I was thinking last night in bed, have been for a while now, how ugly my boobs are when they are all drank up, lol. I'm reckinging I'm going to get a boob job when I'm finnished with kids. I always was big but ive gotten bigger and bigger and now they just seem empty and saggy! As a teen I was a happy 32B but as I've gotten older, and after feeding steven, only for 3m, I was a 32D. But now I'm looking at 32E to keep them in. Some shops say I'm not even a 32, most measure a 30 some even a 28 but you just dont get them that size. In a 30 I'd be EE or even an F in a 28. You just dont get 28F!!!! You get 40F etc but not 28! And when I do buy even a 32 its never that good a fit and usually when they are ok they cost about £40. Having said that I got a good one at asda, a 32D, althought a little big in the back its comfy for everyday, for£5. It was the essentials range. Was the only black bra in that size I could find so bought it out of desperation as I needed one to go out. And god its comfy lol. Tend to pop out a bit nearer bedtime when I'm full tho. But hey I cant keep them in anything lol. Any of you guys have the same probs?
I'm rattling today lol. I've had a headache for over a week now and I've taken so much pain killers I reckon they are starting to build up and keep me awake! I'm so alert today, really awake. maybe I'm just feeling this coz I've been real sore for days. It could also be a bit of relief with regard to Adam. hes coming round 2nite and hes been on the phone to my OH a good few times now and hes seeming alot happier. i was worried how he was coping. We are also going round to see his dad sometime nxt wk. Adam said he'd really like it esp woth the kids so I think we will one rainly night (they are farmers too lol, only come in when its raining!).
I got a lend of a dvd from my SIL a kick boxing keep fit one. I think I might try it. OH says hes going to film it, he said it would make a fab comedy sketch! The only exercise I do is wlking and horse riding so I'm not exactly fit lol. I am fit but I have muscles in only some areas, from the riding, so a bit of a weakling! My lower legs are stron from the dressage and my arms from holding them back lol. But otherwise I'm jellyish and want ot get rid of the jellybelly and tone up my bum. It wobbles I think!
Love to you guys. I'm off to get organisedfor supper and think of something to make for 2moro. Its a end of term party at 2's group, also the playleader is leaving so we're having a mini party for the kids. Got to bring nibbles each. Think we'll make chocolate crispies later, steven will love that. Might make a jam and cream victoria sponge if I have enough ingredients, for us mummys!
love and hugs girls xxx

Hi Sarah
I would like to see a copy of that film please! LOL x Want to say that I knew you before you were famous! Let us know what you think to the kickboxing dvd, quite fancy that myself!
As for Steven starting preschool, I had the same worries about my LO starting nursery. She would never leave my side, and like you even to nip to the loo or something. And she is STILL like this now, after going to nursery for over a year, if I am there she just wont leave my side. But when she is at nursery and I am not there she has a FAB time and is quite happy to not have me around! I am sure it would be the same for Steven.
Hope you managed to get some of that baking done? You mumsy mum you... lol x

hi xx
Never got as far as the kickboxing lol. Hectic few days again! Keep u posted WG.
Last day of toddlers etc for the hols 2moro, be nice to get a break from it. You spend so much time going back and forth to things you get so little time to actually spend with the boys. I've got my dads 50th on sun too. His b'day is actually fri but hes away in Shetland for work and wont be back till later on fir, so we'll be having a meal out with the family on sun instead. Its also my In-laws 40th wedding anniv on 29th so out for a meal for that too. God i'll be fat!
For dads b'day I'm going to get a pic of the kids and a poem framed. For anniv I'm gettin pics of the kids separate and their prints. Possibly, dependant on the pic, may get a better one of the 2 of them, I might put in the poem about handprints. See how the photo taking goes! Got plenty of stuart hes a charmer not handy but stevens either sticking his tongue out or sulking!
Re, nursery I feel a little better. You guys seem to all be saying the same so I'm sure it will pass. Could be just a phase anyway as he was never like this b4 we moved house.
Stuarts down with the cold again, hes got sore ears I think as he keeps patting them. Dont you half feel helpless when theres nothin you can do?
Been snowing here agian. Nothin much. Was out riding and got caught in it. Luckly the worst of it was when we were in the forest so sheltered from it. None the less we decided to take the canter track home as it was coming down real cold and we only had rain exercise sheets not the cozy ones and I was beinning to think it was getting a bit cold. I'm also going to put shoes on Julie this nxt time as we're out on the tracks now and we could have been doing road work if she had shoes so been limiting. She really inpressed me tho, we managed to open the gate on horseback!!! Shes usually a complete idiot and wont stand still long enough but we managed all 3 gates! Doesnt much like it closing on her bum tho, lol.
Did get a bit of baking done. Worked not bad. Had a lovely party tho, was great for the last day. Vikki loved her present. We went together and got her a radley purse, so I'm really glad we did that. She kept saying how this was the best present shes gotten as her kids r too young to buy good things like that and shes split up from her husband. She was really pleased. I'm glad she liked it.
Baked another cake today. Pinapple and bananna cake. turned out fine. I'm planning doing baking for in'laws anniv. Lots of ppl back to the house after meal so be nice for her to have cakes etc without the work.
Off to out this little grump to bed. Well past bed time! usually in bed at 7. hes drank me dry and still not sleeping!!!!!
xxx
Oh almost forgot, any ideas for 50th for dad, need some things for the meal. not sure what just a sort of personalisaton to it xxx

Thats ounds like something we would all like and is good for LO too! Hope you got LO to bed ok, TBH, I wont be far behind him! Always lovely to hear from you babes xx Take Care WG x

Hi girls,
Hetic life, it seems its one thing after the other just now. i dont get a mins peace.
Dad b'day went realitively hiccupless. Had a meal at the local hotel, he really enjoyed himself. Was a great day really. Only thing was my grandfather got a bit emotional, and had a mild heart attack. He never went to hosp or anything it passed in about 10 mins. Its to be expected we are told, until he gets the op. He got a bit emotional, apparently the last time he was in the function suite in that hotel was my christening and that was his fathers last day out, he died a few days later. I think he was thinking about this being his last day out b4 he dies. But none the less he sais he enjoyed himself.
Steven has been in the wars. He fell off the step in the bathroom while washing his hands at the sink. And bangedhis head right on the edge of the door. He knocked himself out and was sick everywhere. has to take him to a&e. We got off lightly. I gavehim arnica when he came round and used arnica cream, which they said has helped the bruising alot they thought. He has concussion and we had to stay in for about 6 hrs. We got home on the conditon that I keep a close eye on him, have to watch for signs of swellin in the brain. Hes off colour and complaining of having a sore head, but no wonder hes got a fair crack on it! Hes so clumsy.
I'll get the recipie for that cake for you WG, I look it out and get back to you later today. Hopefully!
Stuarts still not sleeping greatly but much better. His teeth are still being a bother but I think its easing. I'm using chamomilla alot which is helpin I think. Also been giving steven the homeopathis stuff for the night terrors which has been helping him a little. Seemed to be less restless, well untill he fell. So hopefully both on the mend!
Hope you guys are well. I'll try to be around a bit more. After this nxt wk things are looking alot less stressful. We've had bad snow, so had the horses in everynight for the last wk which adds a bit of stress too. But due to clear up today. Hope so!

Hi WG,
Arnica is fab. You get tablet and cream. I use it alot. Also works psycologically as a 'magic medicine' if you wee one is old enouh for that. But it really does help to reduce bruising and swelling.
The recipie Sorry its in cups, easier to use, saves scales - thats an old fashion tea cup not a mug btw
3 cups plain flour 2 cups Granulated sugar 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp baking soda 3 egss beaten 1 1/2 cup vegetable oil 8 oz (a small till of chopped, just mash them up a bit) pinapple 2 cups finely chopped bannana (about 2 med sized)
Sift and mix dry ingredients Add eggs and oil in a well in centre and mix thoroughly Stir in pinapple, inc accumulated juice from crushing Stir in bananna Put into 2 cake tins (mine are 8") Bake at 180/ fan 160 (not sure about gas, think prob about 5, check tho, dont trust me lol) for approx 25 mins or until golden and cake pin comes out clean
I use butter cream filling as it keeps longer, but could use fresh cream or a cream cheese butter cream filling ( just the same make up as butter cream but you add about a tbsp of cream cheese)
If your oven isn't fan assiste then you will have to turn front to back and swap over top and bottom shelf as they are easily browned , its quite a brown mix already
Enjoy! Its really lovely, my boys love it
Reckon I'm going to get banned from ebay! I have spend about £50 over the past few days on card making stuff. I'm starting to make my own cards. They are so expensive to buy and they are never all that nice and I enjoy doing that kind of thing, as does steven so he helps a bit. My freinds and family said they would buy from me too as we all complain about the lack of decent cards at prices under£3.50.
Boys had a bad night last night so when they have their afternoon nap, steven will too as hes knackered, I might have a nap too. Terrible isnt it!
Off to tidy up, a toy bomb has landed in my sitting room!
