Oh hazeleyes, I'm sorry you're afternoon has not turned out well. It sounds like C is reassessing where the boundaries are after his time away. I guess you just have to stay firm and ride it out, not nice though..I know. When my girls were younger I would have a terrible time with them after they had spent a week with my mum, they have got better as they've got older, not much consilation for you now I know. Sending you a big hug x

Sorry about your day too sparkling, it sounds like your work has you involved emotionally as well as physically, it must be tough working for a friend, do you find the boundaries of one relationship wander into the other?

Well, I picked my car up, so am mobile again Cool, am very happy. Hope I have chosen well, but only time will tell on that one.

Hope everyone's evenings are a little calmer

I just feel sick.  Dreading tomorrow.  No, his Dad won't re-think.  It has been building up for a while, I just which work could have been kept seperate from their family life.

Glad things got sorted there hazeleyes.  Pharmaton.  Excellent pick me up according to my Mum - and I've run out!

EMA got sorted, as did evidence for WTC that the two in college are actually in college.  Its good to have sorted out some paperwork in the quiet.

Here's to a good tomorrow for everyone.

Ooh sparkling, hope you get on ok today, you have done well with the paperwork

PQ hooray you got the car; hope it is a good friend to you Smile Your day with H sounded lovely.

Hazeleyes I agree with PQ, children always have to have a tussle to test the boundaries after they have been away. Hope things are better today, I know it was not "just" the run-in with C and there is a lot on your mind at the moment.

Kiera, how worrying re your son, good that you are keeping an ear out when he is in the bath.

I had a nice day yesterday and took eldest out for breakfast (Morrisons) He is going back to his this morning as he has work at 12. I have two clients later Smile

Oh pq, I don't envy you at all, and wish I knew what to say. So, in all honesty, just who does have the most annoying face, hehe. Great news you've got the car, so at least you're mobile. I'm mobile, (on my legs)

Sparkling, hope your day went okay, and peace has resumed.

Louise, Morrisons breakfast sounds nice. When C had the hospital a few weeks ago, we went to Morrisons for lunch, and it was super.

Kiera, hope all the tests for your son come back okay, that must be a huge worry for you.

C is feeling poorly again. Red lips (indication he's ill) Throat is hurting, coughing. Hell's bells!! Shall ring the GP tomorrow, as he did say, even though blood tests were okay, if these things carry on, he'll do other tests. Friend popped in after work, and immediately said how drained C looked. He does too. Is dark under the eyes, but has been getting his quota of sleep, in fact last two nights, has been asleep earlier. Woke in the night with the sore throat. This does seem to be happening constantly, and though of course, he's been ill before, it's just never been so full on as it seems lately. Aside from that, work was okay. My head was bad again until lunchtime, so should get me sorted out too, (when I get timeCool)

Hope you all have a good evening.

Hi hazeleyes, not sure who has the most annoying face....I know who has the most annoyed face....MEYell.....what a horrible evening. Sorry C is not well again, I remember H having a winter a few years ago when she seemed to get every bug going, it was really strange as she doesn't usually get ill, she had more trips to the drs and more antibiotics that winter than she had had her whole life up until that point. She got over it and has been fine since, sometimes its just the way it goes.

How was your day at work sparkling?

Good morning everyone

Oh there seems to have been a lot to deal with. Sorry about C and you being poorly, hazeleyes, 'tis the season for bugs. Does C take vitamins? sorry if you have already told me this. Just thinking about Hopeful building up her immunity with vitamin C.

PQ I was just posting on your thread. Teens really are a nightmare at times and it is hard not to be a referee but if ever you are drawn in then you get even more stressed. One of the most challenging things about children as they get older is that you cannot "solve" things. As parents we are used to being able to sort children out, they have been naughty or in trouble but there is a solution. With teens, there isn't a solution as such, but a series of strategies to try, and in the end a series of strategies to allow us to COPE It needs a whole culture shift and many of the parenting techniques we have learned go down the Swanee. You are not alone, we are here with you Smile

Sparkling how are things in your house? Looby how are you and J? Hopeful hope your throat is not so bad this morning. Kiera good luck for today.

I have my counselling supervisor this afternoon. The meeting is always for an hour and a half. There is so much going on with my counselling at the moment that I need three hours!!! Youngest has day off, stayed with a friend last night so I am awaiting his return.

Hope everyone has a good day Smile

Pq, not read your other thread as yet, but hopefully things have improved since earlier on.

Sparkling, with those avators, things aren't good then? Hope things have settled down now.

C has tonsilitis, so back on antibiotics. GP is now talking about having tonsils removed, as even though C doesn't suffer from this, he does get bad attacks with throat infections, and of course, this is all to do with tonsils. Poor kid, I do feel for him, and he really has been through the mill these last few weeks. He's now comfy on his bed, had his bath, and he and I will have some soup in a while.

Louise, hope the counselling went okay.

Hi hazeleyes, poor C, tonsilitis can make you feel awful. How do you feel about C having his tonsils out?

Hi Anna, hope you're well.

Sending a hug to you sparkling, hope you're day ended better.

Hi louise, I found your comment very interesting, I think the change of parenting is a big struggle for me, especially as I have H to deal with who is younger and still needs parenting in the way I'm used to. Its hard to adapt to new techniques when I like the way I do things at the moment, I liked the fact that I told A what to do and she would do it, now she won't I feel I'm trying to force her to remain the same instead of changing myself. Now I'm a bit more aware I will try to do things differnently, I have the book you recommended which has been very useful.

I'm very tired tonight so off to bed now

Good morning one and all

Hope everyone is well today and ready for a brand new day!

How is C, hazleyes? and did you get a better night yourself? No wonder you are shattered by 7pm if you are not sleeping well.

PQ yes it is weird to completely change tack in our parenting, especially when it is running alongside your current style because of a younger child. However, you have done this already.....a baby needs a different style from a toddler, and a toddler from a school child...it is just that you have had several years where both the girls were in the same bracket. And there are more changes ahead as the girls each become a middle teen and a straining at the leash teen and a young adult. You will take it all in your stride. Sparkling will tell you how she has had to bend with the wind through all the stages of her family, I am sure.

Sparkling, a better day today?

Kiera, is it Freedom Programme today?

The big news from this end is...TA DA...youngest has announced that in the run up to Christmas he will have to get up for work at 4am! and in the meantime eldest has got through to the final stages of interview for a marketing job and it is like being on The Apprentice, he is there for eight hours and has to undertake initiative tests, go on a sales promotion and have a tour of the area!!!!

That all sounds good Louise.  I'm not sure about the 4am bit though!  I found that to be the hardest time of night when I was working nights! I just loved it when eldest had to be at work for 6.30am.  His alarm woke us all up!  Good luck to you eldest.  That all sounds very challenging.

Work as busy as ever. Only finished 90 minutes later than I should have!

I'm having a hair cut this evening, and looking forward to it.  Youngest having a trim too.

How are things with you hazeleyes?

Hi all,

Yes, had a better day again today sparkling. However A isn't feeling very well so has been a bit subdued, maybe one of the reasons she kicked off this week. Both girls really tired and didn't complain about going to bed early tonight, some extra sleep will do them good hopefully.

Childrens shoes are so expensive, let alone having to buy adult size.

4am sounds a bit early for me, don't envy your son that one louise! The interview sounds like a bit of an ordeal, will he get an apprentice like sallary if he is successful Wink

Got my Mil coming round for dinner tomorrow evening, she's going to stay the night as she doesn't like driving at night much, the girls are excited about their grandma coming for a sleep over. It will also mean I can go for a run in the morning. I have signed up for Parkrun, its a voluntary group who organise 5km runs. You sign up with your local group and are given a barcode. You can run at any event, they have them all over the world, they take place on a saturday morning at 9am. There's a website and all runs are logged and timed so once you start you can follow your own progress, and hopefully improvement. I went to my Sil's local event a couple of weeks ago and it was really good, there is a mix of abilities. What I liked was the faster runners wait at the finish line for the slower ones and chear you on as you get closer to the end giving you that extra boost.

Kiera, did your son get on ok? wow once you get into adult shoes then I think they get more expensive because of the VAT?

Sparkling, how is your new hairdo?

Hazeleyes I hope you and C are Ok this evening

My eldest has found out that the job interview is not what it seems. They want him to cold call companies in person, ie be a door to door salesman. He found on the Internet that many people have had bad experiences with them so he has cancelled his Apprentice day!

I continue with my street light campaign. A local man has been mugged and badly injured and his councillor (different part of town) has taken up the campaign, hurrah. I have been in touch with the councillor and my next moves will be a letter to the paper and starting a local petition.

Back to Drs this morningFrown No school, and was told C should have been off since his visit on WednesdayEmbarassed C's neck was really hurting last night, so much so, he couldn't lay down properly on the right side. This morning, it is very swollen, and paining him a lot. When I saw him, I immediately thought mumps! Dr saw him straightaway, and has put him on a stronger antibiotic. Has advised that if it gets bigger at the weekend, take C straight to A & E, but to definately take him back to GP on Monday. School are loving us right now!!! GP has said, if it hasn't gone down when he sees him, he will send him to hospital for a scan. Blimey, I've never known C to suffer so much, but it hasn't stopped him yapping!! He questioned the Dr, as only C would, regarding the amount of medicines, side effects etc. Dr laughed, and said, he looked forward to having a good debate with him, when he's older, hehe. The questions that he fired, he fires at me, and it ruddy wears me down, let me tell you.

That's a shame about the apprentice stuff Louise. Mind you, better your eldest found out now, than once he'd done it. I'm sure something else will come up for him soon. How awful about the mugging and injury. Maybe this will also make the council sit up, take notice, and do something. Good luck with the letter Victor.

Pq, how is A feeling this morning? Hopefully, the early night will have worked wonders for her. That's lovely having your ex MIL over for the night. Great for the girls, and fantastic that she can have them, when you go for a run. Well done you.

Sparkling, how's the hairdo? Does it knock ten years off you? What time do you finish today? I'm so worried about the time I'm having off, but of course I know it can't be helped. C has and does of course come first. I was hoping to do a bit of overtime next week, to help me for Christmas, but now looking like I'll be making todays hours up!! Oh well.

Oh that sounds nasty, hazeleyes, poor C. Glad the GP is on the case. With children's illnesses and work, we just have to think well there is nothing we can do. I know there won't be anything built into your contract but many employers sort of provisionally allocate time for parents to be off when a child is off sick. I used to get 10 days per year for a child under 12 in my last job. So if you get any stick you just say calmly well many employers allow time for children's sickness and look saintly Innocent

Poor C!  I like Louise's Innocent point.  And at the end of the day, what can you do?

I only had a trim, and really needed it.

To be honest, I don't blame your son for pulling out of the interview.  So many people don't like cold callers - and me one of them...

I was home by 11.30.  Teachers training today for youngest, and the middle two have no college on a Friday.  There had been plans to go out, but it is absolutely chucking it down.  Youngest's girl friend Cool (shhhh, I've not told you) is coming here instead.  Lucky I finished at 11.30, as youngest has decided we need to tidy Laughing

My colleague is off on Monday, so I'll be in all day and then off on Friday instead next week. 

A friend I help with VAT phoned yesterday asking if I'll do books for another farmer.  Thing is, if I do start this, it will mean that I'll hardly leave the house...  I find isolating myself is all too easy.

Right, off to direct the hoovering!

Hope C is a bit better this morning, hazeleyes, you made me laugh when you said about him asking the doctor all about the medicine! Hope you got a better night as well.

Sparkling, have you got anough business to be a freelance book-keeper? Could you get more? I totally get your point about isolating yourself, though; working from home can have that downside as I have found myself. The way I have coped with it is by being really flexible about when I do my work so I can make myself "free" during the times my friends may be off or I may want to attend a course to meet people.

Hi kiera, when you do not have enough sleep then things can seem really hard. I know you have the boys there for the weekend, but during the week, try and rest if she has a nap?

PQ is it pancakes this morning? You have done so well so get through a difficult week.

I am off for this week now. Our good friend Mary will be on the boards, with Anna and Sally of course. Am going down to Bristol to meet up with Anna and Sally and the rest of the team this weekend!!!! then going to visit a friend in Coventry and booked in with other things later in the week such as more old friends and....TA DA finally tackling the only remaining hideous cupboard in the house and I am guessing a trip to the tip.

Have a wonderful week Louise, and make sure Anna and Sally behave themselvesWink

C's temp wouldn't come down yesterday, late afternoon, so rang NHS Direct, who put me straight through to my own practice. My GP rang the hospital and told me to get C up there, as they might well want to keep him in, on an intravenous drip! My friend took us, and if this wasn't such a serious place, it'd be like something out of a comedy scene. I kept being asked about a letter from GP. I kept explaining my GP had called, and I was to see a Dr. Patients were going in, and coming out, only to sit back in the waiting area, for another couple of hours! Babies as young as 6 weeks old, I was horrified. After waiting ages, and seeing people arrive after us going in, I went in, and asked when my son would be seen. Again, waited, waited, waited. I'd had enough, kids were holding sick bowls, and I was more worried about C catching something else, than anything, so back in again. Saw a triage nurse (not happy by now, me that is) He asked what was wrong, as I'm telling him, he walks away!!! Called C, and then he weighs him. For gods sake. Saw another woman, who told me she'd been there since early morning. By now, I'd seen and heard enough, and to top it all, the Triage Nurse had departed, and couldn't be seen anywhere. Friend and I looked at each other, and both said, 'let's go'. C was hungry, tired, and in pain, but I still knew, he was better off at home, with me keeping close eye on him.

This morning, his lump is still the same, still hurts to move his neck. Swallowing is easier, now he's had the nurofen. He knows to tell me, if he feels worse, or feels the lump is bigger etc. Other than a walk in centre, we shall return for the appointment on Monday with own GP.

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend. Going to start a bit of cleaning now.

Hi everyone,

Kiera its awful when you are sleep deprived, everything seems 10 times worse. Is there anyone who can watch your daughter for a couple of hours so you can get some sleep? How about your mum?

Hazeleyes, what an awful experience for you and C. Make sure you tell your GP about it. I would also recommend you talk to someone at PALs (Patient advice and liaison service) because if they don't know about the problems people have using the service they can't do anything to put it right. Hope you don't beat yourself up today about having a relaxing day yesterday, it was well deserved.

Its nice to enjoy a nice 'sparkling' house sparkling, yr son should invite his girlfriend round more often Smile.

I had a lovely evening with my ex Mil and managed to get up and out for my run, exercise really does give me a boost. Got the day to myself today as girls out with their dad, going to have a day of sorting, I have a pile of papers threatening to take over my table Surprised.

I agree with what you said regarding hazeleyes' trip to the hospital with C - PALS are only effective when they're kept informed of what's going on. Perhaps when C is better you could write them a letter, hazeleyes?

kiera - sorry to hear you're going without sleep; it's a horrible feeling to be sleep deprived. You mentioned sleeping in your son's bed the other night. Could you do that for a few nights in a row, so that you get 'caught up'?
