If i left anyone sorry mummies hope all is well

oh yes Ally: mhh good things my friends congrats to you

Nelria: tried calling yesterday please sms landline if you have one how are the studies coming along

Morning ladies,

I’m constantly trying to post but I get about a third of the way through and then something comes up and I never get back to finish it!! Here's a mammoth post to catch up, hope you don't get bored before you reach the end lol!

Mandy I’m glad all went well yesterday, will be keeping FX for you guys, awesome news that it’s a girl, you and Marc must be sooooo chuffed!! Hooray for pink things

Ally congrats on winning the comp, your cupcakes looked divine!

Julz – You’re tugging stitch sounds most uncomfortable!! Hope it all heals quickly and that you start to feel some relief from the op soon.

Angelique – I really hope you get your BFP soon, everytime I see a post from you I’m always hoping to hear good news I have to laugh with the others at Cole calling everyone an idiot but I can imagine it must be embarrassing!! Hope work calms down a bit. Are you still having driving lessons?

Lisha – I hope you get some relief with your back, it sounds so uncomfortable!

Christi – Congrats on the new job, even if it is only temp at least its something and temp work probably suits you for now anyway what with another bundle on they way

Nicole – Glad you are spending some time with your mum, I hope she’s on the road to recovery. K sounds very cute taking his toys to bed, Oliver takes different toys to bed almost every night. I put him down to sleep and usually when I go to check on him later there’s a weird and wonderful array of things in the bed with him, he obviously climbs out of bed after I put him down, he grabs one or two things then climbs back in to bed and passes out, some nights its cuddly toys, some nights it’s a book, other nights a car or a train, you name it and he’s fallen asleep with it at some point lol.

Jessica – Welcome back! Riley’s a big boy hey?! I’ll have to have a look at how big Oliver was at that age but I’m sure he was a similar size How are you getting on with the two? Is Riley going to the same daycare as Bryce?

Simone – How are you feeling? Is the MS definitely over now? So cute at Addy doing your hair  Thanks for asking about my SIL – sorry I kept meaning to reply to the mail but I never get the time it seems! She is as well as can be expected, she has a rough two days every week after she takes her chemo but then after that she’s ok, they’re still away and as long as her health continues they will be away for another 6-8weeks, they’re leaving for France today. Her and her DH renewed their wedding vows whilst in Cyprus which is lovely and they sound like they’re having a great time. They deserve it

Zee – I can’t believe how quickly time is flying, have you decided on a name (sorry if I’ve missed it)?

Nelria & Lisha – I’m glad I’m not the only one having issues with DH behaviour. He seems to think I have a problem with him having fun which is not true at all, I just wish he’d do it responsibly, instead it feels like everytime he goes out he’s like a kid in a candy store and goes way overboard so comes home completely trashed instead of merry…

Lwasi – Hello! I still find it hard to believe Amo (and Dylan!) are so small (well small in comparison to my two heffalumps hehehe) Nina must be over 10kgs now and Oliver is somewhere around 18kg, but then he is mega tall, he wears 3-4year pants (I will be buying 4-5 summer pants because there’s no growing room in 3-4!) and 4-5 years on top and he even has a couple of 5-6 jumpers that fit well across the chest they’re just a little long in the sleeve and a teensy bit too long in the body lol. Most people think he’s at least 4 just by looking at him! Glad Amo has recovered from the mumps, will you be sending him back to daycare?

AFM – Both kiddies have been sick with a cold, Oliver’s face is soooooo chapped from all the snot and everything poor little mite and he refuses to let me put anything on it, when I try he just rubs it off which makes it even worse, his poor little nostrils are all cracked and sore  He’s much better today though and was happy to go off to play group which he is loving. His speech is amazing me every day and he’s really coming along, he’s a lazy little tyke though (as I keep saying lol), he shortens everything, I’m now Ma instead of mama, Daddy is Da, Nanny is Na and Nina is Niii, lol. A funny story, my BIL is up from Cape Town (he’s studying at UCT) and his name is Jay, he’s a lovely kid and is gay, when Oliver met him (he hasn’t seen him for close to a year) we were teaching him to say Uncle Jay, for the life of him Oliver can’t say the J sound, instead it comes out as a Ga sound so he calls gay Uncle Jay ‘Uncle Gay’ LMAO!!!

I’m going to have to take Nina back to the doc, I’ve been treating her thrush with the probiotics and it was working well but now it seems to have flared up again and has spread to her fanny (sorry I don’t know what else to call it lol) and it just looks so sore and uncomfortable so I think maybe I’m going to have to try and treat it by combining conventional medicine with the homeopathic stuff. It feels like we’ve been fighting it for months now and I’m doing everything I possibly can, I let her sit without a nappy for as long as possible, no perfumed stuff touches her bum, no sweet things, sterilizing EVERYTHING (you have no idea how much more work that is!!) and its just not going away  She has a bit of a cough as well so it probably won’t hurt to have a general check up anyway, just hate that its costs so much money 

Otherwise all is well in Helen-land lol

Hi Mommies,

Pegeon (sp) pairs all the way, wow Mands all the best for the results and congrats on ur little girl so glad that ur in good spirits hey

Ally what do I say to u my friend, well done, congrats on winnining the cupcake competition hope those books help u a lot

Julz hows is it today my dear? hope ur getting better

Jessica it was so great that u popped in, like D Amo is only between 11.7 and 12kg mark, got two different reading at the clinic and pead but he is not a big person generally

I must agree with Lisha Angie, even though stupid and idiot are not nice words must have been kinda cute hearing Cole say them, its like when Amo said agh for the first time with the mean and seriuos expression...

Lisha only one day left u see ur own chiro, fx till then

Nicole hows K's cold, hope hes better now

Lelani, hows the new position treating u? hope ur well my friend

Hellen hope u and the kids are okay. Nina's bum are you getting there with the treatment ointments?

Amo is doing well, mumps are gone he is his whole self again, im also doing well.

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update...

Mandy, so glad it went well, we will be thinking of you and trust all will be ok with you LG. Congrats on the LG by the way!

Went for an interview today, and I am starting tomorrow already!!
Its only temporary, although they did say that they will be appointing some of the temp people permanent afterwards, but I told them that for now, I am unfortunately only available until beginning of Nov. They are expecting some overtime though as they are working through a huge backlog in their accounts, so I will probably be VERY scarce for the next few weeks....

Ok, sorry for not replying to anyone else.... but gotta get to bed now.

Ah, Ally, received my coffee today from Enrista! Thanks! will start testing them soon.

Mandy!! So exciting! I'm so glad the procedure went well and that it all looks good. Yay! A Girl!!!
