Sorry Prammy, a totally ill timed grin.

How do you feel about your decision? I'm so pleased he is ready to get help. I think anger will be preventing you from the physical side of things. You're not ready to trust him yet. Which is totally understandable. But you'll get there x

LyraSilvertongue · 25/08/2013 20:22

I'm so glad there's been progress, Pram. It's not unexpected that you'll feel a bit numb at first. You're hardly going to leap into his arms and smother him with kisses. You've resolved to try to fix things but this is just the beginning. Nothing has been fixed yet so give yourself time to see if those feelings will return.

FrankelInFoal · 25/08/2013 20:26

Just catching up on the weekend's goings on.

Pram I'm glad you managed to sit down with him and lay your cards on the table. Give it time and see if the old feelings return, Lyra speaks a lot of sense.

commsgirl · 25/08/2013 20:29

Pram Well done you for making a decision. Just give it time now and make sure you stick to your guns x

MummyPig24 · 25/08/2013 20:30

Well I'm pleased that you had the conversation pram and that there is hope for you two. I really hope it goes well.

I went and saw my friend in hospital tonight, she had we mastectomy on Friday. It went well, they were able to put a spacer in so as long as her body accepts it and her treatment goes well, she will be able to have a reconstruction in a year or so.

When I got home dd was so sad, she thought I was gone forever! It's crazy the impact I have on little people's lives! She hasn't been apart from me in 4 weeks and I guess she was worried I wasn't coming back, it broke my heart to see her so upset. So I lay with her in bed and cuddled her until she felt better.

I've not had any dinner yet. The only thing I want is ice cream but I don't have any. So I'm sulking.

Jolleigh · 25/08/2013 20:32

Looks like something finally got through Pram . Hopefully you'll feel better about things once he's proven he'll go ahead with what he now says he will. Keep us posted. The fancying him could follow once he earns your respect back.

LyraSilvertongue · 25/08/2013 20:35

Thanks Frankel Smile

Lambchop14 · 25/08/2013 21:34

Yeugh! I have a very very upset tummy. My only comfort is hot water :(

NoMaybeAboutIt · 25/08/2013 21:37

Oh Lamb that's no good. Pregnancy related? I hope it passes soon

IceNoSlice · 25/08/2013 21:58

Sounds like progress, Prambellina.

Just had a bath, and read a 300+ long thread about wedding disasters. Was actually an ace evening! Feeling relaxed now.

Loving that tomorrow is a bank holiday and I don't have to get up for work Grin. Hope you all have a lovely day!

fruitpastille · 25/08/2013 22:01

Wow, it's taken me a while to read all this thread! But so pleased that some of the twatty blokes are showing signs of improvement.

I had my scan on thursday and was rather suprised to hear that measurements put me 8 days ahead of my own dates. Previous 2 pregnancies have only had dates a day or two out. Nuchal was hard to measure (I had to jump up and down!) but it was well under the more risky measurement so hopefully bloods will agree. Told our parents who were pleased, got proper bear hugs off in laws which has made me feel good. I thought they might think us a bit nuts but they are just really excited! Waiting for DS risk before going more public and telling kids.

Had a lovely day out atnyork maze today with only a little indegestion to cope with (sorry I amone of those who ddoesn't really suffer symptoms). My bump is starting to pop out in the evenings, but then I am 13 +4 apparently!

Off to pm to join facebook...

Lambchop14 · 25/08/2013 22:02

Don't think so notmaybe it's just a stomach bug or something. My tummy really hurts and I have to keep running to the loo with a bowl in my hands for the other end :( I hope it ends soon. (Sorry for the detail lol)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 25/08/2013 22:08

Oh Lamb lovely, that does not sound good. Hope it settles down soon and you manage to keep something in. What shitty luck Sad

Sounds like a lovely day Fruit! Glad all the parents were happy Smile

NoMaybeAboutIt · 25/08/2013 22:09

Posted too early. I love a good bath Ice! I've got a nice bath bomb lines up for tomorrow!

Lambchop14 · 25/08/2013 22:13

Thank you. Hope it's gone by Wed because its my first scan with my first baby :)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 25/08/2013 22:16

Fingers crossed it will be long gone by then! What a great day Wednesday will be Smile

fruitpastille · 25/08/2013 22:27

Lambchop, you poor thing!

Whoever was talking about crumpets with marmite, I Have just succumbed only with bovril instead - divine!

Feeling dim as I can't work out how to pm on my tablet so I can facebook, can anyone help?

apprenticemamma · 25/08/2013 22:35

Fruit pastille great news on the scan and fx for your bloods. I'm scanning tomorrow and hAve been trying to keep busy /thoughts away from how it will go. It was a beautiful day here ...Ds kindly had a 3 hour nap so was forced to snooze in the sun Wink Then my well intended MIL invited us for a roast lamb which didn't reach the table till DS bedtime but was bloody amazing nom nom . Just chillaxing before my half day of work tomorrow and going to treat self to a new kindle book (recommendations?) . Prambles great that you've pinned oh down to an action plan. I was the same, reached breaking point and phoned for counselling then and there. Sometimes decisive action is needed Wink .. We only had to wait 5 days for our appointment. FWIW we r only 4 sessions in but v positive and & a safe space to explore and communicate your issues esp those which are so emotive Sad Angry its hard to communicate otherwise . x

apprenticemamma · 25/08/2013 22:38

p.s. Your name fruit pastille has triggered a huge fruit pastille craving I could actually murder a huge bag of you. Or wine gums or opal fruits. Please can you change your name! Would also love a bath but we don't have one Envy . Power shower not the same ...

apprenticemamma · 25/08/2013 22:39

bovril
... wrong on so many levels. Nausea now kicking in..

April13 · 25/08/2013 22:52

apprenticemma I just read a few of Karin Slaughters book sand enjoyed them, but depends what you like. Another fan book was Before I Go to sleep. Not what I expected, but fab!

pram glad you've turned a corner, will be a long process, but worth it I think (whether you stay together or niot), life's too short for living with regret x

Mum wanted to look at prams today, so I humoured her but picked a pram.. Had to escort her from the shop to stop her putting a deposit down! Scan on Wednesday x

April13 · 25/08/2013 22:55

Oh and a book called Room....

Lambchop14 · 25/08/2013 22:57

Good luck for your scan April fingers crossed its a great day for both of us :)

Rockchick1984 · 25/08/2013 23:01

April I love Karin Slaughter books too - DH can't read them though, finds them too gory!! Apprentice if you like daft girlie, easy to read books then anything by Sophie Kinsella is fab, detective-wise Mark Billingham is excellent, depends what sort of thing you like? I read far too much, tend to get asda 3 for £10 at least once a month :)

Prammy I think you have done the right thing - I'm not surprised you're not attracted to him at the moment but better to try and fail, than to not try at all and regret it!

April what pram? Do you like it or just your mum???

Hope you feel better soon Lamb Thanks
