My hormones surmounted in me physically breaking down at the McMillan advert the other day. (The one where the man is walking down the corridor and then starts falling but the luffly mcmillan nurse sprints to catch him)

V. Hormonal.....

Haha, nanny I cried at the same advert!

I cried in McDonald's today because someone took the seats my 5yr old was saving even though he kept bouncing between them and me at the counter. There was literally no other seats and I had my 2 kids and my 1 yr old niece so was struggling anyway! I told them to cancel my order and walked out. This woman then said to ds, ''come here 'babbi' we'll move, your mothers lost it''.
She felt my hormonal wrath when I did 'lose it' silly bint.

Phew, glad I'm not the only one! I almost cried at the great british bake off final, but then watched the last ever CSI NY and cried my eyes out! Very emotional episode!!!

Sorry to hear your sad news lacey take care x x

Congrats on lovely scan news bananaand wm

I'm over emotional too, sobbing at ridiculous things on tv all the time. I would have cried at the McD thing too squiffie

Aww bless you squiffie :(

If anybody is suffering with migraines/servere headaches, aside paracetamol, are you taking anything else ?

I also REALLY want fish fingers, chips and beans... mmmmm

Cried in Tesco last week when I needed some disposable plastic forks but they only had mixed packets of forks, spoons and knives, so ended up having to buy 8 packets to get the desired number of forks and have tonnes of excess knives and spoons... Just stood and sobbed about it in the party supplies aisle

Awww bless you Junior. Seems like a rational thing to cry at though!

Thistle 4head is good as are the soothe things you stick to your forehead. I hate taking drugs so these are what I use for headaches and migraines while pregnant.

Squiffle I would have cried and left too :(

littlebairn and hamncheese thank you. I will stick to my guns. I was charting AND used a Clearblue FM and know when we DTD, so I am 100% sure of my dates...

(it was a bit like a scientific experiment :))

Will invest in four head thanks for replying

hamncheese thanks for the Postive birth movement tip, I've liked them.

Glad others have had some hormonal crying I was almost inconsolable when my local co-OP had run out of BLT sandwiches.

squiffie she sounds like a right cow. People can be so inconsiderate a woman alone with small children should take president.

Un-Mumsnetty hugs to everyone suffering with hormones. I'll take one of those tissues please squiffie, had a hell of a day at uni and it's really made me consider throwing in the towel with it all.

My class is incapable of having a rehearsal without a lecturer present. There is a group who will never take a leadership role themselves, but will hate anyone who does, and there are a few of us who have always just been natural leaders - it's a role I tend to just slip into.

This group are complaining that they feel they're being made to feel inferior to us because we've tried to organise the group - these are the same ones who volunteered me to write the script and never said thanks

The particularly horrible one, turned up half an hour late, and after half an hour of working, demanded a cigarette break. I took charge, as we have to show the lecturer what we've achieved tomorrow, and said no, we've only done half an hour's work, if we go for a break now we'll never get everyone back in and focused. He kept asking and kept complaining and saying I had no right to tell him it wasn't time for a break, and in the end everyone started arguing so much that I turned around to this guy and erupted in a massive hormonal rage, telling him that the real world doesn't have half-hourly breaks and we need to get work done, and if he'd showed up on time maybe we'd be having a break now.

Most people agreed but one girl from this group got all haughty and told me I shouldn't have shouted at him - she had no qualms with him shouting at me beforehand - so I walked out, because I knew I was going to get really angry and hurt someone if I wasn't careful (normally I'm quite placid but I was fuming). Apparently people fought my corner and started saying to this girl "She's pregnant, are you surprised she was shouting? You shouldn't be stressing her out, of course she's going to get annoyed with this!" ) but when I finally went back in, this little group who dislike me started making comments about people being unprofessional and stropping off when they don't get their way.

Is it just me or is it more unprofessional to punch someone in the face because you didn't remove yourself from the situation to cool down?

Sorry for the essay, my hormones are raging and today's been so bad. I'm dreading having to show the lecturer what we've done tomorrow because it's an embarrassment.

banana lol that was like us I used the clear blue monitor and took notes of dates, periods, cervical mucus etc. DH took the mick but he was rather impressed once I got my BFP.

moomin is this a first year group? Sounds like they are struggling with the change from high school to the adult world of Uni.
I would have walked too their is no point wasting time with such people, they aren't going to get far in life with that attitude.
Making said comments its really pathetic too, that smacks of bullying.
Maybe once the lecture sees how little progress they have made things will change.

Second years LittleBairn, the youngest of us are 19 (I'm one of the youngest in the year) and the oldest is about 30. The worst ones have been out of schooling for a few years and seem to think they're better than the younger ones.

moomin gosh they really have no excuse! My mum went back to education in her 30's she said the worst offenders for high school behaviour was from the older adults.

All I want to do is go home this week, but I can't go this weekend as have flu jab and rugby. Was going to go on Wednesday, but parents are away this week so that's out everything's just gone downhill. There's people saying "we're all stressed, we just need to put our stresses to one side" but it's really difficult when you have no idea where you're going to be living by March, and well aware that we'll have an extra mouth to feed

And OH is still planning on going out with this girl tomorrow think he waited until today to tell me, when he knew it's too late notice for me to kick up a fuss.

moomin of course its not to late its not tonight it's tomorrow! Personally I would be telling him if he wants to continue a committed relationship to you he needs to cancel this 'night out'
He's treating you very badly.

Moomin I agree with little. He can't treat you in a way which makes you feel rotten. He's being a dick. Say no.
