She had a temp on sunday night so they gave her calpol and during the night she woke up & was like 'My tummy is sore but I think sleeping with mummy & daddy would help' so they let her in. She seemed ok on Monday day time then that night she went down hill really quick & by time they took her to hospital, all the consultants were waiting but it wasnt meant to be. My friend is a doctor & checked her for meningitis etc but had none of the symptoms. She is just killing herself, thinks she should have spotted that it was something serious. She is due again in 10 weeks time and the wee girl was so excited about being a big sister. It was a beautiful service. I could cry just typing this, you should never have to bury your child.

Hola peoples

hugs to all that need, S thats awful news for your friend, awful ?

Mrs C I cannot believe the crap you are having to go through, it must be coming up to 6mths of this now?!

Sorry if this seems a bit woe is me but here goes..

Bad - I am still very blue and seem to be sobbing at everything

Bad - I have made myself ill as a result ☹️

Bad - The 'friend' who I was seeing tonight has made other plans that I find out via facebook..charming innit. Yes I'm feeling rotten but I text her 1st thing saying if I get a nap this afternoon il still swing by for a bit just to get out of the house.

Good - I did have a little cheer up in the post this morning when a parcel of goodies arrived for Dylan from some beautiful ladies..hes one spoilt little chunk❤️

Good - Dylan met his first hitcher yesterday and he was as always on his best behaviour..said hitcher bought scones and jam too, that's me sorted for today

Oh my god. That is absolutely horrific and heartbreaking. I don't even know what to say. Her poor parents. Do they not know what it was then?! So sorry.

Can't imagine what your friends are going through SaSaSi. I'm in bits just reading this. Awful, just awful. Sending everyone lots of love

Good, , I've had a week off work.

Bad, , I have to go back on Monday.

Good, , It's only a 5 week term.

Good, , I got PPI letter to say that I am getting a refund.

Bad, , I have to bite the bullet and chose some reading glasses.

Good, , Booked 2 weekends away so far not to mention we booked our Jamaica big family holiday ?

There was a post mortem done etc but I didnt ask any questions about the findings - it doesnt change anything IYKWIM. She lives an hr & half away from me and we hadnt seen each other in a while but Im going to make a real effort to meet up more often. Like even being back in the same hospital to give birth is just going to be torture. They are a strong couple with close family & friends, that much is evident but its the times ahead that are going to be the hardest.

SaSaSi, I'm so sorry to hear this. Thinking of you all.

No words can express how they must be feeling.

My thoughts are with both your friend and you, , ❤️

S - My thoughts are with you and your poor friend. I'm glad you've said she's strong and has good people around her, I hope they and her new baby get the family through the tough times to come xx

Gentle hugs and mega vibes to all others who need them. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

AFM:

Good - My lovely friend is now 12 weeks pg after 6 years of trying. They have announced the news, which I'm glad about, as I've been keeping her secret for 10 weeks, and just burst into tears of happiness whenever I think of it. (as I have now. At work)

Good/Bad - I've spent a couple of hundred pounds on the puppy already (including Christmas presents) and she's not even here yet.

Good/Bad - Off to a wedding show on Sunday in my capacity as BM. My friend has been saying some weird stuff to me, and I think she's on to me even though I haven't breathed a word of anything!

This is so terribly sad. Puts my little problems all into context.

Sas that's such terrible news about your friends baby, absolutely heartbreaking xx

Sorry you're being messed around with the house Mrs C, I can't imagine what a nightmare it must be for you. I really hope it gets sorted soon.

Flowmo I'm sad that you're still feeling sad. Have you spoke to Mr Flow or the HV about how you're feeling?

Good- Sold both our cars this week

Bad- Need to find a new one this weekend so all feels a bit rushed and can see us settling for a car rather than getting one we really want.

Good- H is off for the whole weekend for the first time in 5 weeks

Good- *BT* Got our moses basket yesterday which is the final thing we needed for the boy so we are all ready now for his arrival. Less than 2 weeks till DD!

Hugs to all the rest that need them, have a lovely weekend ladies.

Oh and 8 DAYS NUTS!!

Oh SaSaSi that is such awful news. I'm so sorry [hugs]

Wow Kharv - what a funky little car! No tax as well.

Thanks folks. Its just kind of numbed me, I cant really explain it.

So go home & give your loved ones and little ones an extra tight squeeze tonight

Sasi- so sorry. ?

Bad- Our very good friends lost their Dad on Tuesday, he had been in remission and doing very well for 6 months from brain cancer. On Sunday came down with pnumonia very suddenly and his immune system was too weak to fight it. Our friends GF is due a baby any time too. So sad.

Bad- Am still in lots of pain and unlike me have been letting it get on top of me this week, have had some very low moments and lots of tears.

Good- My Mum will literally move mountains for me to help me, the woman astounds me every day! A chemist didn't have my script the other day she drove to 7 different ones untill she found one that did. Love her.

Good- H is a god send and looks after me really well too. Counting my blessings at the moment. ❤️
