March 2013 Mk V: Lumpy bumpy witty knitters (patiently) await the bloom!

[Chefette]

New one marchers sorry on phone and can't link! Will post title in our old thread x

Sheldon, what fantastic progress with the knitting! Ooooh exciting about returning to study. My most inspiring and dedicated students are the ones I've tutored at the Open University who are returning to study after a break or later in life: of the women, loads study when their kiddies are small and some study when their kids are off to Univ. What subject(s) do you fancy returning to? Sometimes I wish I could just read a book for pleasure, or follow my nose into a new hobby, but right now my research feels like a ball and chain! (I love it tho, and am v. lucky with my job, so should not complain!)

sheldon I wouldn't go so far as to call it the 'glow' BUT I do look healthier, haven't vomited (as a result of that I don't have an ugly rash around my neck and lower face)! I think it's just that I slept through, piled on the moisturiser before bed to give my skin a good 'drink', de fuzzed any fuzzy areas and spent the evening on me! So this morning I woke up and just feel a whole lot better! Fx this is the start of the 'glow'!

Right, I'm out the shower and sitting here drying whilst I wait for the nose strip to do its job. I don't know why I'm bothering whilst I've got catipillars for eyebrows and Bradley Wiggins' sideburns. Fucking PCOS.

I can't blame PCOS completely, I have neglected to was for about 2-3 months now. I'm a bit too scared to do so until I'm comfortably in the second trimester.

Just a slight problem, whilst in the shower I couldn't stop thinking about Mr. Perfect and so now I'm really fucking horny. I feel it's time for another AIBU thread:

AIBU to leave my children at the party whilst DH and I come back to our house to fuck each other into an oblivian?

Actually, as DH is not really into sex, it would be more like:

AIBU to leave my children at the party whilst I come back home and finger myself until I cum thinking of Mr. Perfect?

manda My degree was computer engineering but since then I have done OU courses in physics, astronomy and botany. I was doing a geology course earlier this year but then I had my miscarriage and didn't finish it :( The thing is, I'm interesting in everything so find it difficult to be specific as to what I'd like to do. I do love the OU. I think if I did go back I'd like to get into robotics but not many places offer it, certainly nowhere around here.

JoJo you must have kickstarted the glow with your pampering. That's it, I'm pampering myself with a nice bath tonight.

Ugh, feel a bit sick all of a sudden, think this means I should eat.

Oh I forgot to add, I have as predicted a red spot right in the middle of my forehead. I do hope there isn't going to be an Indian family in attendance otherwise they'll think I'm taking the piss.

Mrs Perfect update - she's hung bloody balloons around the porch.

Am very jealous of ur morning activities manda after this weekend I won't be aloud sex until after baby and am all healed so prob next April - poor DH think he will be going mental as he still likes o wake me up at like 1.30am when he can't sleep- think I might go a little crazy too as its a bloody long time!!!!

Well went out and treated myself to new shoes don't tell DH as he thinks the 230 pairs I have is stupid, very expensive shampoo and conditioner 40.00 for both and a new razor to de fuzz myself later :) also went o amazing bakers on sea front and got hot sausage roll for me and DS and a yummy cake each and sat on the beach to eat them was lovely :)

Right silly question time, am having my op Wednesday - do u ladies think I should ummmm tidy up down there, lol? Plus how tidy do you go don't want to look like have tried to hard but don't want to look that I haven't bothered either

Ooooh yes I think we've chatted-ish about OU stuff before, Sheldon (sorry if I repeated myself: I'm always going on about how much I love my OU students!) Wow, you would so get on with my DH. He did mechanical engineering at uni, with a lot of computer stuff, but now writes computer programmes which tell robots how to do precision work. At least I think that's what he does. It involves a lot of staring at the screen scratching his head. I sometimes wish I could talk to him more about what he does but it's so beyond what my brain can cope with that it's nigh on impossible! An astronomy lover too! I've started going to bed much earlier than him, as I've been so knackered, and I got up for a wee the other night to find him looking for Jupiter in his telescope! Cute as. Did you give the OU any hint as to why you didn't finish the geology course? They might let you pick it up again. Be nice to finish it, for completeness (and the credits), tho I guess it may bring back some not so great memories of the time. An increasing number of universities are doing distance-learning now, so may be worth looking into some good departments and seeing if they offer anything - even a short, online course to get you back into it (when the time is right re family, of course).

Zoey, you could do OTHER things in that general ball-park (so to speak) that don't involve the specific thing you need to avoid (!) April! I'd go bonkers! Feel sorry for DH at the mo as it's only about once a week but by jingo when it happens it's pretty damn good! Are you joking about 230 pairs of shoes?! I have about six I wear regularly (two knee-high boots, one ankle boots, metallic flats, converse pumps and crocs) and about ten I bought for parties which come out once in a blue moon! Must try harder, hehe! Okay, to answer your question (TMI ALERT!) I trim with scissors downstairs and shave round the edges where it goes a bit out of control, but it's not a forest. Though I am getting worried about when the time comes that the bump won't let me contort sufficiently to sort it out myself! Had a professional wax once and OMG NEVER AGAIN!!! But, to be honest, whatever you do or don't do, they will have seen it all before!

Sheldon very impressed with the courses! Very cool indeed

Oh and can't join in with the sex conversations - have no libido at all, it's vanished. Poor DH is being very patient

Yippee, Mumsnet Towers have deleted my post from last night where I stupidly revealed my RL name so that peeps could find me on FB. Don't know what I was thinking as people in my line of work google each other all the time and the embarrassment if they could read about the things I go on about here ... bloody hell, doesn't bear thinking about!!!

Thanks manda- yeah I have a bit of a shoe obsession including jimmy Choos, louboutins etc and I can't really wear heels at all since the hip replacements but I can't bear to part with them! That number does include about 40 pairs of flip flops though! I do have about 20 pairs that have never been worn, I am sure I will one day! I also have a few Chloe and mulberry bags, the 3 mulberry were 900.00 each and the Chloe were about the same! I got a huge payout from the hospital in Dec 2010 and went a bit crazy on treats :) it also paid for wedding in full which was about 25k, cleared all loans and credit cards and let us get a bigger house in a much better area- but it's all gone now :( it was fun while it latest

Fair point about them having seen it all before i just little to over think things!

manda I think I keep repeating myself. I usually have a very good (sheldon-like) memory, but it's terrible lately. That's nice to know about the OU, will definitely be wanting to get back into it in a couple of years.

zoey You have made me feel better about my bag and shoe collection. I don't have anything overly expensive, most extravagant being a pippa bag that DH bought me for our 10 year anniversary. He thinks I have far too much. All heels now packed away :( I'm lusting after some new boots for winter though.

I'm absolutely livid with DH.

He gave DS1 the birthday card so he could write his name in and aside from writing someone elses name, he's written in RED INK.

Wow, Zoey! If you ever hit financial difficulty I think you could float out of it easily by selling on your precious collection! Ahhhh I didn't include flip-flops or my Birkenstocks ? OR my wellies and walking boots! Can I include those?! The most I've spent on a handbag was £120 in TKMaxx on some label I can't even remember (originally a few hundred £££). I just really liked the bag as it had a huge capacity and lots of pockets (and it looked nice) BUT the bloody thing broke just as quick as the much cheaper handbags I usually buy (again, from TKMaxx usually) so never again!

Yeah thats what my DH says- when I mentioned the cost of the iCandy pram he said sell a bag, he don't get I NEED them all! When not used each bag is in its own dust bag filled with paper to keep shape :) my fav is my limited edition red leopard print mulberry one limited edition sounds grim but is lush ! DH has band me from buying shoes but he's not here plus they are practical flat black work pumps.
DS is having a sleep so am laying on sofa watch the green mile, have loads to do but can't be arsed to move

manda .. I think you were wise to get that deleted. Glad they dealt with it so quickly. I also had a (rare) morning bonk while they boys watched Hong Kong Phooey! Made me a happy lady after days of feeling so YUK! See, I am still a desirable sex kitten! HMMMMMM!

DH has taken the boys to the park to give me a break. We spent last night looking at old baby photos of the boys and getting really excited about having a squishy one again. Ladies, we are going to have such fun come next spring time!

As for RL meet ups, I get the impression none of you are Bristol based?

zoey .. I am very envious of your blowout (although of course sad that you got the money due to a health issue). I would LOVE to be like that, but am sadly a product of my parents upbringing. Careful and wise savers. A bit of me does daydream that in my autumn years I spend the kids inheritance on toy boys and face lifts!

Ooof. Afternoon ladies. The problem with falling in love with a dream house is you have to get your old one fit to sell. Cue an afternoon spent sanding down flaking paint from sash windows, wearing a dust mask which makes it all so much worse. DH is fixing flood damage in the bathroom. (flood obviously a fortnight after we decorated it). The decorating to do list is a mile long and eveything's taking ages - usual story. And tonnes of the jobs I can't do because I'm PG so I'm doing the crappy prep work and he'll get to do the painting.

Enough moaning! Jealous of the shoes and handbags and the morning bonking. Do you reckon if I dragged DH to bed I could get out of DIY?...

ted it wasn't a health issue I just sued the hospital (well actually it never got to court they paid out to stop it) I had a hip operation and a member of staff sexually assaulted me theatre recovery, the hospital didn't believe me and believed him so refused to even phone the police I had to call them myself. Then while on bail for me he assaulted another girl in hull and stood up in court the next day and pleads guilty to us both- hospital couldn't really say it didn't happen then!!!! The judge in the trial ripped them to shreds so they couldn't risk it going to court plus the papers wanted to buy the story to rip apart the NHS as was on bail for sexual assault in one nhs hospital and found work in another one different part of country hence my obsession at being organised and panic over operation this week as even though he got 5 years he did 2 1/2 and got out in July this year!

I wanted to enjoy the money and having it sat there would of sort of made me think of him so I made life easier with no debts and got all the things I could never normally just buy in everyday life and married my DH which was the start of our new chapter- plus I had CBT in the priory which helped a lot (only cos couldn't face the hospital it happened for a while)

Sounds like you both need a bit of R 'n R, tea! If it's any consolation, our house looked to be pristine when we viewed it and we put in an offer immediately (which we've never regretted) but only after living in it for a while do we notice where the previous owner had just tarted it up, rather than doing a proper job. So don't be too thorough would be my advice! (Tho praps best fix the flood!)

Ted dunno what I was thinking when I wrote that last night! Am an utter novice at this inter web chatting thing. Find it a leeeetle bit strange actually, which is why I'd be in favour of a FB group as at least then you can 'see' peeps a bit more (not that FB is much like RL!) Yippee for your morning bonk too! I'm in such a good mood too!

Cor, zoey, bet you have a special room for all your bags and shoes, no? I reckon your DH won't have a clue that you've bought new shoes - you can just say you are making use of ones you haven't worn for a long time, hehe!

Ummmm I have already walked round the garden in them so the soles look used

Zoey sounds like you spent your money in the best way possible!

manda a degree of bodging will happen, but I want the particulars to say "walk in condition!" as I want it to sell QUICKLY for obvious reasons.

Well, I just dysoned the outside window sill after sanding it and got some very, very odd looks from passers by!

Marking.....

Have just walked out of the party with DS2.

zoey .. You deserved every penny, huge unmunmsnetty hugs to you.
