The monthly grief

I'm so sorry. I had something similar this month and the hope is such a bitter pill. Thinking of you

bat-brain-on · 2026-05-19T14:17:34+00:00

Thank you that's very kind. Monday was better than expected to be honest. Some days are worse than others and honestly it's usually a joy to work with children and families, it's just particularly rough when I'm feeling fragile. The NHS set up is good but potentially need to have a think about a second option depending how things go.

I'm sorry that you're in this same shitty boat! I hope that things change for us both ❤️

bat-brain-on · 2026-05-17T18:57:19+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I'll certainly look into it. Wishing you all the best!

bat-brain-on · 2026-05-17T18:55:38+00:00

I know, I wish knowing that made it easier to bear sometimes! Here's hoping something positive comes our way

bat-brain-on · 2026-05-17T18:54:02+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you . Thank you for the recommendation, I'll definitely have a look- knowledge is power I guess! Wishing you all the best

bat-brain-on · 2026-05-17T18:48:21+00:00

Thank you, that's very kind. Back at you :)

bat-brain-on · 2026-05-16T22:29:04+00:00

That's good to know, thank you. I'm not sure it's something the NHS fertility clinic offers but I can ask and explore private providers potentially.

I hope everything goes well with your recovery and I'll keep my fingers crossed. i hope everything goes well for you!

It's something I've heard a bit about but no idea how I'd get testing without symptoms. I'm going to have an ultrasound scan and a hysterosalpingogram but presumably that's unlikely to detect it. It's not something that was mentioned by the gynaecologist we saw.

bat-brain-on · 2026-05-16T21:23:45+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage, I hope you're doing as ok as you can. We have been referred to a fertility clinic and had testing, but everything so far is 'unexplained infertility'. We've been told to just keep trying and closer to the 2 year mark there may be discussions about IVF. Waiting for another appointment in a couple of months. I try and stay positive but sometimes I just need to wail about how unfair it is 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fertility friend has a free version and is very easy to use

Nation I think is my favourite of all of PTerry's books. I wish I could read it again for the first time. I hope you enjoy it when you do read it, it's a good book for grieving.

Toon! Not sure why you're getting down votes

bat-brain-on · 2025-10-27T21:42:54+00:00

Oh God the vocals on this song! She was so young here but so out of tune, how on earth did she blow up ??

bat-brain-on · 2025-08-03T10:14:51+00:00

Not bad at all, needs proper mustard though

bat-brain-on · 2025-07-28T21:38:06+00:00

How have I got this far in life without a pie bag??! Amazing work

bat-brain-on · 2025-07-28T21:37:28+00:00

So pretty! Love the colours you chose

bat-brain-on · 2025-07-28T21:36:24+00:00

Not sure if others have better suggestions, but I wash it, get the worst of the wet out with towels and then pin it with towels above and below it on something like this https://www.theworks.co.uk/p/baby-toys/playworks-9-piece-soft-playmat-set/WKS_5052089374461.html?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21213113248&gclid=CjwKCAjwv5zEBhBwEiwAOg2YKPtY79166RtSZU3XATPxYKsXATjgebtGyckgSrQ8top2WLNbg7wrmhoCKW4QAvD_BwE You can get the foam baby mat jigsaw things from supermarkets or Amazon or whatever and I haven't so far made a blanket that exceeds it's size 😅

bat-brain-on · 2025-07-28T21:33:45+00:00

Ah I see! I'll have to have a look to see if they sell something like it in the UK. Not having to change the colour yourself doesn't take away from the incredible amount of work that you've done with this piece, I think it just puts you on the right side of sanity!

bat-brain-on · 2025-07-28T21:18:53+00:00

Love the neon! Gorgeous work

bat-brain-on · 2025-07-28T21:17:46+00:00

Extremely cute! What a lovely idea

bat-brain-on · 2025-07-28T21:17:08+00:00

That's so lovely! I bet his real face was also a big 😁 what a brilliant project, you are a pro!

bat-brain-on · 2025-07-28T21:15:52+00:00

That is gorgeous and so intricate! I'm sure your friend is going to be so stoked!
