Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

When does the random crying about stupid things stop?

Baisey - I'm seeing Harry Potter on Friday. Just thinking that it's finally here makes me well up! Can't wait but dread the last scenes.

I am horrendously prone to crying about anything since having babies.

Am having a temporary tear bypass since I started on ADs a couple of weeks ago. I'm a bit worried, I watched a sad film and not even the tiniest tear.
I cry at the latest BT ad...in fact, I cry at everything.
Have always been known as an over-emotional type, since having DS it has gotten worse and now I am pregnant again I worry about going out in public some days!
I cried when DH sat on my box of tissues because they were squaaa-aaashed. Waaaaah. God, I felt stupid when I thought about it later.

And nobody hormonal should ever watch those Carphone Warehouse ads with abandoned phones.
Oh god, is this random crying here to stay?! Currently weeping watching 'Real 999 calls' on ITV. Cried at Beverly Craven singing on Loose Women the other day blush hmm
I have actually cried over spilt milk.
Um nevergrin I welled up in waitrose today at the pictures of the repatriated soldiers on the front of the paper. Ok, that's not a stupid reason but DD is 2.

I did cry again in waitrose when I was pregnant because they didn't have the pasta sauce I wanted. Then I cried because I couldn't get up off the floor when trying to get to the fridge.
I'm getting fairly ashamed of my outbursts! OH thinks I have finally lost marbles though as I cried watching an advert for bleach over the weekend.. because "no one thinks of how the germs feel"

blush
A word of advice: Do NOT watch Animal Rescue. Was blubbing for a straight hour after watching them unsucessfully try and free a fox from a trap...
Oh dear, cried a lot today. No reason. no reason at all.

I shed a tear at the ending of Babe this morning...
Yesterday I threw a full blown tantrum because I couldnt find my favourite hoodie.
Gotta love these hormones.
Yep, DD now 14 weeks and I'm LOVING it! Look into the window most nights tho and you wouldnt know (even cried at Armageddon last night!!!)
trellism I know the feeling - normally I'm so concrete that saintly grannies holding puppies fail to move me.

But now....show me Torchwood last night? Sniffling like a bunny rabbit with hay fever every time a child screamed. Gah.
having made the above comment I found myself wanting to cry at harry potter this afternoon, all they were doing was changing the bogart into something funny. it wasn't sad at all. Had to make DH turn over.

blush
I burst into floods of tears on a flight back from New York last week. I was inconsolable. The reason? My V-Port entertainment system wouldn't work and couldn't be fixed.

I'm usually such a cold-hearted sod as well.
In answer to thread question:

"Never, you are a woman"

31 weeks and have cried twice this morning. Once when reading a report in the paper, and once when walking past a blind man playing the accordian. Cried twice yesterday as well.
Hormones are just joy!

Never. I sob even when my cat kills a mouse.

i was thinking about this today, i dont know how pregnant newsreaders cope. i would wail cry endlessly when i listened to the news.
DD1 is 7 and i still weep at random moments grin
Ok, I've got a great one for spontaneous crying, but it's a bit geeky....

Driving in the car, somewhere in the 2nd trimester, listening to a radio programme (think they were talking about vaccines or something) and the interviewee steals a line from Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan and says 'the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few'.

All of a sudden, I'm in tears and can barely keep the car on the road. DH asks what's wrong, and I start sobbing 'You know when Spock dies? That's soooooo saaaaaaadddddd!!!!'

DH tried to reassure me that Spock does in fact come back to life in the next movie, but I was inconsolable 'Yes, but it's so hard, and he has to go through that Pon Far thing....' and continued to blubber and sob about it for at least 15 minutes longer.

He loves to remind me about it. Sometimes I well up a bit. hmm

I cried when I read Charlie Cook's Favourite Book to DCs last night. Agreed that Wimbledon roof is much better though, clearly I am only an amateur at this grin

Oh goodness I cried this morning wailing 'How will I manage with a baby, will I be a good mummy?' at my husband. He looked at me strangely and gave me a hug. He thinks I'm a mentalist I'm sure...

I've cried at all sorts of stupid things on the TV.blush Although I don't think i can beat the Wimbledon roof one!! LOL
i might just beat you there treetrunks, i cried after dh made me bangers and mash because the mash was sooo lovely! he'd pureed it so no lumps with onion gravy! I sobbed into my food then laughed then sobbed! LOLgrin

ate it all though damn nice it was! grin
mine never really stopped and DS just joined in when he was born
I don't think it is ever going to stop for me.

Beat this....I cried when they closed the roof for the first time at Wimbledon hmm I think it was the crowd cheering but I still felt like a fool! Thank goodness I was all alone!

I cried what seemed like all the way to work this morning because my friends are going out tonight and I'm not... not something that would normally get me down!
I had right red eyes at work!!

Oh good, that's reassuring then! I feel like the school cry-baby at the moment. It's getting a bit silly. But I do think it's partly fatigue.
Korma's right, I spent months when ds was tiny sobbing in the wee hours for absolutely no reason. Kerrazy hormones!
in about 18 years grin

I had it in the first trimester then it went. I'm now 26 weeks and it's back with a vengeance, partly because I'm very tired. Do I get a break before the random waterfall tears post birth? I'm beginning to feel a bit silly!
