My new washing machine came today and i'm washing away. You should see my washing basket! There were 2 men that dropped it off and I even managed to hold a convo with them. Not so long ago I would have blushed and smiled at the sight of them. usually I would have left them to it, having to take deep breaths just to be in the same room. But today I was fine. B4 they came, I was feeling a bit nervous but I didnt at all when they were here. I am actually starting to feel I am getting better, at long last!
My nxt venture on ebay is digital cameras. well actually its OHs venture. Hes been buying bluetooth radios for his mates. Hes been making a little profit fromthem. A few of them said they'd like a cheapish camera to put in the tractor for taking pic of the farm and the work etc. SO I've been buying away today. I've bought 5, one for me, one for steven and one for OH. And theres 2 spare. I have a few others I might know who want one. Some of them, stevesn one esp I got for £3.50 inc postage, so at that price I dont mind him having one. Will stop him wanting mine!
I'm away to try and do some work for the girls coming, they txt saying they r struggling with about 5 things when they were revising for the exam. I'm beginning to think this is going to be very hard.

Hi Hun

Well done today with the washing machine delivery men. I think these people hate coming here as i talk them to death! Especially if thery are delivery drivers as I am a transport supervisor with 30 drivers and trucks that work for me, so i like to tell them all about what they are doing right or wrong! x
You know where i am if you ever need to talk babes xxx
Love

Hi,
Cheers hun, I do feel good about managing that unflustered. I finally feel like I am getting somewhere.
One of our friends had her baby wed past and she was having a bit of a hard time, it was in neonatal and she was a bit stress and anxious. I now feel like I need to help her. If i can stop her going thro what we have i'll do everything. But little Ryan is coming along, he was really choked up with mucus and stopped breathing a few times. But out of neonatal now so looking much better.
I've made cards for them and I'm doing a scrapbook for him too. if I can figure out how to put pic on here I'll post them when I am finnished it.
Stuart is nearly crawling and being a complete menace. I dont know what I'm going to do when he does. i'll have to get a pen!
As for ebay well, I think I could be adicted! Bought something else again today lol. Think I'm going to get shot!!!

Hi Sarah
Lovely to hear from you! Have been thinking about you. x
The crapbook sounds lovely hun, what a beautiful thing to do. I am glad your friends baby is doing better now. They are so precious and delicate.
Get off ebay! You have a problem and i am considering setting up `EA' (Ebayers Anonymous) for you! I thought i was bad!
Hope to hear from you again soon?
WG x

Hi Hunni,
I was going to send you mail today but I never got round to it. I will get to it yet. Toddlers 2moro am so maybe not till afternoon.
EA is required I think lol. I'm weaning myself off it. I keep thinking to myself, hmm I'll just sit down and have a surf thro ebay. I have refrained myself tho. Only spent about £4 today!!! All been essentials tho. Wellalmost. Got 2 pairs of boots delivered today and about 10 other parcles lol. I bet the poor posty hates me...
My friend wee one is getting along nicely. Ali was round past this am, to pick up a card I made for him to give her. I asked how Karen was and he sort of looked blankly. Hmm not sure, she burst out crying last night. Poor lad he looked scared. I treid to explain baby blues etc and that it could last a week or 2. But also said if 2 wks down the line shes still crying and funny, then take her here and I'll talk to her. And that i didnt want her to go thro what i did. He was really thankful, and said, but whatever I say is wrong she crys if I say they'll be home soon then cried when i said its better here where they can help her. Poor lad just doesnt understand! He looked real puzzled.
I'm off to see my granda hes got hosp 2moro, and op on thur so off to see him b4 he goes down. Sounds terrible but want to see him incase he dies. That realy does sound bad but you know what I mean.
Love and hugs xxxx

Hi Sarah Really hope your grandads op goes ok. Think positive for him hun xx Your friend certainly sounds like she has the usual baby blues, i cried for no reason at all for the first two weeks of my LO's life, luckily a friend with 3 kids had warned me before that this would probably hapen so i knew i wasnt cracking up! You should get your own PO Box number at this rate hun, save the posty loads of hassle... Spk Soon WG x

Hi Guys. I've returned!!!!! I have finally managed to get my comp working properly. We has issues with the phone line, some excavator dug thro it. Then it wouldnt take broadband, just dial up. It eventually fixed and then I couldnt get on some sites this being one of them. I have now changed from aol to sky so its much better and have only just started to get used to it. To be honest I have only really really needed you guys about 2-3 times. I am finally feeling like I'm fixed. I dont wake up dreading my life and my children. Its nice to be happy again. I think I am actually 'normal'! I have a busy life just now, everythings happening, you know the times when its hectic and then you get a dead beat and you finally get to look around and think oh god what a mess, I havent dusted in about a week! My ironing is about 6 loads and my car desperately needs hoovered. I have a hectic week ahead nxt wk to catch up. Michael announced last week, after deciding that I wasnt going to go back to uni, until nxt year and was going to work part-time, catalogue delivering to make some money while I had the kids. That we should just have our next baby now! He made a good point, if I start uni then working I wont go back to having kids and he really wants to try for a girl. So I'm getting broody and thinking about it very very hard. whats you guys think? ? Should I? Can I? What if I get this awful thing again? Its tempting as I really want another but theres so much to think about Missed you all, love and hugs xxxx

Hi Sarah!!!
FAB to here from you! Have really missed you!
As for the baby/uni dillema, i would say that if you really want another baby, dont let PNI stop you. Firstly it may not happen this time, and secondly, if it did you have all the tools now to deal with it!
I am actually starting uni myself in January and wetting myself about it! Never got round to higher education before and terrified if I will manage it!
Hows things generally? How are the LO's?
Glad you have been doing well hun, you deserve it! Now that your back can't wait to catch up!!
WG xx
p.s. I got your email hun but for some reason couldn't reply. Just bounced back! Will try again off my home email xx

Thanks for the reply WG, ure such a sweetie, I missed you guys too.
Not sure about the email, its just one thing after another with this comp lately. I was ready to burn it lol.
You said about ure uni, I think youll do just great. I have always enjoyed education, and my key was to make sure I am enjoying it. If you actually enjoy what you are doing you are more likely to actually succeed. I enjoy studying, sad I know, but I always have done. You'll be great, qualified in no time, and on your way to helping ppl just like us!
LO's are not too bad. Steven is a nightmare just now. Seriously playing up, spends more time with me shouting at him than anything. Hes started not sleepin agian. I was just saying to OH this am that I'm sick of this falling asleep on the sofa, this past wk then putting him to bed. Hes going to bed 2nite and its just too bad if he screams his head off for 3 hrs. when it comes to 8 its bath and bed and hes going, regardless of it all. Think I might put Stuart in his buggy to sleep, they are in the same room now. Once steven is settled move stuart thro to his cot. It cant be any worse than him falling asleep at 11 on the sofa. This past wk hes been doing that, ok he was ill initially but I'm not having it, to hell with that, I need my sleep!
Didnt you do the controlled crying with your LO WG? How did it go?
Stuart is still not right, still got diarrhoea, has had for over a month. I personally think its the abcess starting up again. But surgeon says no, my mate, her daughter had the same and she was exactly the same untill it burst, so I'm thinking it could well be that. He has had a virus too tho, but thats past now I think.
Otherwise, I'm knackered! Kids are hard work just now, and I'm reall tired from it all/ OH thinks hes going to see about another job so hes a bit stressed out about that and taking it out on me. You know what men are like!
By means of the baby, I'm sure I want one, but theres just so much to think about. I just wont rush into it. Make sure I'm happy and not pni rebound! But on the up side of that, the thought of gettin preg and having another is exciting, so that must mean I do want one! I know I do I just think to myself what if? I guess with or without pni you would anyway. Got app to get coil out nxt wk so, I think i'll just carry on as normal from there and if it happens it happens. U think?

Hi Sarah
I think thats a great idea re: the coil. Everyone assumes that we all just fall pregnant with one night of passion, when the truth of the matter is it can actually take a while to happan, and it would be nice if it happened for you guys without all the pressure of actively trying.
Yes I did the controlled crying thing. I swear by it. Lo was about 1 at the time and it started up out of the blue with her, but it really did work. The first couple of weeks were hard but so worth it in the end. It is important not to give in so that they train to understand that you are still there but you are not gonna stay with them till they go to sleep. I did 2 mins in the room stroking her back/tummy etc without speaking a word, and 5 mins out of the room listening to her screaming her lungs out. Yes, it was very hard, but best thing we ever did!
Great to have you back mate, look forward to all teh catching up!!
WG x

Hiya Sarah, Sorry I didn't reply to you before hun, wanted to say it's lovely to see you down these parts again and feeling well and happy. I did controlled crying with my LO, but actually he didn't cry much at all. Put him in his cot and left him and he whimpered a bit for the first few nights and now he sleeps like a dream really. Such a contrast from a couple of months ago when he woke up 10 times a night. Just shows that a couple of months can change your life around. Sounds like your LO was tired last night, maybe he needs that 10 mins cuddle....awwwww bless. Anyways on the baby front, I wanted to say, go for it hun... Judging by how you suffered the last time, I'd say the next time will be nothing that you can't cope with. Plus you have settled yourself into a new house which is not isolated and your circumstances sound better. I think you are more settled by the sounds of it. Three kids won't be much difference, my mother had seven, and said after the first two, the others just slotted in... ;D xx

I missed you auntie Scarlet! Was going to pm you as I've changed email etc etc but you found me I'm glad to see.
The sleeping still going well, I hadnt even finnishe the story last night. Michael is off this wkend, boss is complaning about the OT lol, so I think we'll have a nice night in 2nite. I feel like being a righ spoil sport and locking the door and turning out the light for a cuddle on the sofa with the TV and a nice bar of chocolate!! Sad ehh.
But by ways of the baby I've made up my mind, yep we are going to try for another one. I never had a problem with either of the first two, so hopefully with advice from WG the resident fertiltiy expert and a few tricks, I'll easily concieve a girl this time. I wont be bothered if i have another boy, really any healthy baby is a god send but a girl would complete the family and save having to try again lol.
I've got my single pram on ebay just now, so thinking about it if it doesnt sell then I'll keep it. I'll need the double anyway coz stuart will only be 2 but it could be handy none the less.
And Scarlet, I love the wisdom at the en of your section. Perfect x
