I absolutely can't believe they didn't call you the moment they were on the way to hoslital with him. Of course he would have wanted his mum there above all else, whatever was going through their minds about saving your feelings, etc. You are completely right to be outraged and I would want to get to the bottom of why they thought they were a good substitute for you in the circumstances. Sorry if I'm not making the right placating comments here, but I share your rage and think they were completely out of order. You need to put them in their place as soon as you feel able. I really hope the little chap recovers quickly. xx

sometimes events happen without people thinking first - probably did it with all good intentions but a quiet word with them when you feel calmer CD. Rocking a family boat is never an easy thing to do and MRCD will be pig in the middle ............ hope your little boy mends soon x

 

[Paulinegin]

Families, 'eh? Who'd have 'em?

Hope your son isn't in too much pain, CD

CD i feel your annoyance, kinda the same thing happened to me when my son was small... Grandad took him out for the day with the other grandson, fell off a climbing frame and hurt his wrist, let him play for a while longer despite him telling grandad that his wrist hurt eventually he brought him home and said that hed hurt himself but it was just staved/sprained. I exploded and said i was taking him to A&E as it was swollen and he told me not to overreact, anyway the wrist was broken. think id rather hed taken him himself then rang me from hospital (this was before everyone had mobiles LOL)

 

[CaledoniaDreaming]

What makes it worse it that the in-laws couldn't give ANY of his information to the hospital - couldn't remember his birthday, our address, whether he'd had a tetnus injection. They even mis-spelt his bloody name and he's their only grandson! I've had to be on the phone to the hospital all morning dealing with it yet they could have rung my husband, me or even my eldest daughter for this info??? I'm still very angry, I find their behaviour unforgivable - my child, try to get hold of me in an emergency or at least tell me as soon as possible. It's up to me whether I worry/rush to his side/leave him till the morning. Grrrr.

PP today, very hot so just having lots of tuna and cold boiled eggs - some cold beef later I think.

You're doing so well not to hit the biscuit tin (or the drinks cupboard) while you're so upset. Stay strong, we're all here with you x

Had to be out at the kids' snack-time today and discovered a lovely shabby chic tearoom run by a Mum/daughter combo: the home-made cakes looked divine! Ordered some raspberry bakewell for the girl and some banana pecan loaf for the boy and they really looked delicious. My black coffee was fine but I really fancied a bit of the bakewell! However, I was a good little Dukaneer and didn't so feeling quite proud of myself. PMT at the minute so resisting is hard. Especially with my stress levels at the minute through the roof and a flipping seagull waking me for good at 5am.

Anyway, PV today:
B - Muffin; L - Prawn salad; D - Dukan bolognese

PP tomorrow:
B - Scrambled eggs; L - Tuna; D - Chicken; S - Rhubarb and ginger muffin

Just realised that I need to do some muffin baking in the morning and buy some more oatbran too, that's annoying as I've been enjoying muffins early recently. Och well, serves me right for not being organised enough.

 

[sarafvrm]

You are so strong, it bowls me over. Frustrating about the oatbran, but I know you'll cope. Keep going xx

 

[sididd]

CD you are a good little Dukaneer lol, good for you for resisting CAKE xxx

 

[CaledoniaDreaming]

Some weeks I can resist cake easily but today, it looked DELICIOUS and it's been so long :drool:

 

[sididd]

CD.....muffins are our cakes...wipe your mind clean and forget you ever saw them lolxxx

 

[CaledoniaDreaming]

Today my daughter had an Olympics concert at school, where each class had taken a different country and had learnt about it. She had studied Brazil and her class danced the Samba, she recited a poem about Brazilian animals and they sang in Portuguese too. It was an amazing concert, both the children and the teachers had put so much effort into it. A lovely afternoon.

I'm feeling happy Dukan-wise: three people who see me frequently have told me today that I've lost weight! Not really seeing it on the scales but obviously looking thinner so am pleased. Also, good timing motivation wise as PMT and stress is making me crave things. After my muffin earlier all I could think about was how much I wanted to eat the ENTIRE batch of 10 days worth that I'd made . I had three cups of tea instead but it was hard.

 

[sididd]

CD, it does sound like a lovely afternoon, and a great way to learn in a fun way xxx good girl for resisting them tasty muffins. Your will of steal has got you through....and keep enjoying them compliments you deserve them xxx

 

[CaledoniaDreaming]

Tomorrow's PV:
B - Scrambled eggs & mushrooms; L - Lemon & Garlic grilled Mackerel with spinach & rocket; D - Moussaka; S - Rhubarb & Ginger muffin

Kitten (Ash) keeps trying to lie on the laptop keyboard, silly thing. It turned it off earlier, lol.

Agree totally Kirsty, I've found just having stewed sweetened rhubarb often helps - just something sweet! I'm trying really hard at the minute to keep my tolerateds to a minimum as I have such a small amount of weight to lose that it is coming off very slowly. So - no yoghurt,no cheese, no stock cubes, no processed meat, very little sweetener. I was sat here an hour ago having a snack of a tin of tuna! I can't say I'm enjoying the diet as much as I do when I have more treaty things but I am very motivated and positive. If the PMT gets too bad of course, I'll go buy yoghurt rather than banoffee pie. I know I can do this.

 

[ellie1969]

you certainly do have a will of steel hun

 

[CaledoniaDreaming]

I changed my dinner plans tonight as Sainsbury's had BOGOF on bags of prawns!! Anyway...I kind of binged on Prawn salad and have been uncomfortably full for the last hour - very annoyed with myself as I was just being greedy. Me and issues with comfort eating!
Anyway, 2 PP days before weighing now and really want to make them good ones so:
Fri - B - Scrambled eggs; L - lots of chicken; D - Mince; S - Muffin/Tuna
Sat - B - Scrambled eggs; L - Salmon; D - Lots of chicken; S - Muffin/Tuna

Bought somethng amazing today that JUST fits now but will look fantastic with another 6lbs off so I'm really feeling motivated. And, another person told me today I've lost weight!! I don't really get why so many people are saying it at the minute but it's lovely to hear

 

[CaledoniaDreaming]

Just finished two days of PP before I weigh-in in the morning, what made it grim is I've got a really bad sore throat - all the chicken was like chewing cardboard . Going to have a soothing cup of tea and try not to think about hot whisky toddies .

My eldest is quite shaken up today - she was babysitting for a friend last night (which she has done a fair few times before) when the police and a social worker turned up as a neighbour had rung accusing my friends of leaving their kids Home Alone!!!! They have been having long-standing difficulties with this neighbour but what shocking, horrible behaviour. Seething on my friends' behalf.

Have not had any yoghurt, jelly, stock cubes this week and have had little sweetener or processed, salty meat. However, it is TOTM so I'll try not to be too dispirited if there isn't a loss on the scales in the morning. Need to stop being lazy and exercise more, just I'm so weary it's hard to feel motivated. Have to though as I know I'd feel brighter if I did have more exercise, if that makes sense?

Tomorrow's PV:
B - Scrambled eggs & mushrooms; L - Grilled mackerel & salad; D - Chilli; S - Muffin

Hope your feeling better soon CD. Just reading about the babysitting incident some people have nothing better to do than stick their nose in without checking their facts!! They need to get a life!!

Good luck with the weigh in hope the scales smile at you Cx
