yeah, i've got my solicitor. i've arranged a meeting with her for Tuesday.
we have already been to court 4 times and nothing is being done. next one is the 30th.
but its my word against social services, and im a mental patient, they are professionals.
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Elliot's birthday is in a month and I need some party bag fillers. All the kids going are around 1 years old but a mix of girls and boys. Actually one will be 6 months.
I don't know what to put in the party bags. Normal little games arent suitable.
Thought about getting some Ella's kitchen treats instead of sweets plus they'll have birthday cake. But any ideas on cheap little toys that are safe for a year old?
Bubbles! parents required obviously. raisin boxes are an alternative to sweets. Poundland used to do a pack of 4 little board books so you could get something like that and seperate them for something cheap.
You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.
We bought some cheap small stuffed toys from tesco 'baby animals' suitable from birth and yeah bubbles and raisins. Also fruit flakes/school bar type stuff, morrisons has 5 packs of the fruit flakes/yogurt coated flakes on bogof right now.

I AM A PROUD PLUMERIA SISTER
I don't feel I can cope with looking after Lucas I've cried 3 times today I can't deal with the crying I want to scream and run away I feel so upset and stressed I would do anything to leave the house and just leave him I really can't cope I'm at my parents house because my partner thought I needed to bond with Lucas but its literally been the worst time ever I don't want him here I'm so sad I want to kill myself! I think he's picking up on my distress and that I don't feel like I love him and I feel terrible I don't want to damage him in later life I want him to love me but I can't make him laugh if I pick him up he screams I don't know what to do I'm desperate
I dont knwo if any of you already use kiddicare.. if not it is super.. anyway, they have a bumper toy sale on at the minute. (Sam, i thought you might find it helpful if you have a lot of Elliots friends turning 1)
Charlie I think I have asked you this already but I have a memory like a sieve and after a quick skim through this thread I cannot find it but did you visit the Kiddicare in Peterborough? If so was it good?
We told my dad and his wife and my brother and my mum at the weekend. They were the last people we needed to tell properly. Now Peter wants to put the scan picture on Facebook so the his aunts and our friends etc will know and he can show it off. Little bit creeped out by the idea of my uterus being broadcasted on facebook!

We are going to ask Peters parents to take us there when we go to stay with them for new year because it looks good much more choice than mothercare near us.
I am feeling okay mostly I am still having moments of blind panic when I convince myself something is wrong but I am getting better at not letting them take over. I am hoping to feel even better once I get passed Benjamin's due date on Friday.
Oh and I am pissed off because I was planning on being discharged from the CMHT before the baby is born because my social worker is leaving and she has been the only helpful thing about being under them but now I have been told I can't do that and I am not allowed to refuse to be referred to the mental health psych because of my history.
I think I am just being defensive because the midwife who I saw when I was pregnant with Benjamin was a bitch and made me feel incompetent and like I was going to be a useless mother because I am young and have a mental illness. Despite all evidence pointing to the opposite, plus I am 21 so not that young and married which most people my age aren't.
How are you and Oliver getting on? :)
You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.
I'm all excited because we have Lucas whole milk tonight instead of formula. At first he didn't like it because it was cold but we heated it up and he drunk most of it :)
