Q: I'm back

I know you all missed me Laughing

I'm doing a little better now, i have a doctors appointment tommorow to try and talk everything through and see what medication will be best for me etc. If i go on like this me and Dom won't last, it's tearing us apart. Housing is still going badly, the council have nowhere in our town to give us, Dom's decided to go to college in September so even if we did go into private renting come september we won't be able to pay it. Dom's parents divorce is looming and my house is teeny.

I had my college interview yesterday morning, it was so scary. The whole room that had everyone else who was having an interview at the same time as me was full of skanky looking 15 year olds with really bad clip in bleach extentions that were all straggly Confused . I don't think i did too well, i was so nervous and i think having MIka and having epilepsy might be a big disadvantage to me going by how the interviewer looked when she wrote it down. Although she showed me the college nursery and it is amazing! They have a huge oudoor play area with slides and sandpits and all those kind of things. Th eonly downside to college is that for my kit, uniform and trips i have to pay £380 or US$744.15. My grandparents will pay 100 and so will my parents but i still need to pay 180.

My best friend gave birth last night. She'd been 3cm for two days having regular conractions and then yesterday when she went to the hospital at 7am she was 4cm so they said to stay in. In the evening at around 8pm her baby flipped over so they were spine to spine, she was 9cm at this point, she had an epidural because well if any of you have ever had a spine to spine baby you'll know why! She went back to 8cm then because the doctor said the baby had gone back up a little further to try and corect his position, he couldn't though. The doctos originally wanted to use forceps but because of his positioning he could of broken the baby's neck if he had so she was rushed into theatre for an emergency c-section and gave birth to a little boy called Joey at 10.35pm.

Phewww i think thats everything out!!!

i'm glad you're back dani Smile we all missed you. i'm also glad you're feeling better and going to the doctors to get it sorted. i really hate you feeling this way. the housing situation will get better eventually. it will take some time as the council really sucks. have you tried talking to dom about how you feel? when dom does go back to college he should get paid some money and it will be worth it in the end because he'll have qualifications and can get a better job with better money. and congratulations on your friend giving birth! thats great oh and you'll get into college, no doubt. good luck Smile

I'm glad you're back! I really hope the dr is able to help, no one should have to go through what you are experincing.

I don't know much about the housing option there. Does your University have on campus housing? Sorry if that's a stupid question.

she's applying for a college place, so unfortunately they don't have housing facilities like a univerity would. but i do know that she could apply for some grant to help with the cost of college, etc.

Unfortunatly i can't get a grant for my kit but because i'm under 19 and will be in full time education i get all Mika's childcare paid for so i can't really complain! Also i think i'm going to be giving up breastfeeding soon, nearly 7 months of breastfeeding is really good IMO but i really need a little bit of me time too so that will help me out alot

7 months of breast feeding is amazing! It's an awesome accomplishment, you should be so proud of yourself.
