Due in June.....fill the rest in yourselves if we offend you so much

[hollyandalice]

Happy now???

Oops Sputnik - meant that in the nicest possible way?!

JBM - I am well impressed! There was I congratulating myself on doing most of the housework & at least sorting the ironing into piles.... Rewarded myself with 8 (!) biscuits, obviously.

Have wrapped the cats in clingfilm to prevent further furball issues. Am sure we'll all be happier that way.

BZ - are you TRYING to start another barney?? Gawd knows the thread altercation was bad enough without wading in with something like 'smack my birth up'. Laughed so much I did actually have to change my undies.

Well arguably a risk as I remember there was a big backlash by feminists when that Prodigy song came out - they said the lyrics were gratuitously violent, but with the frantic backing beat I think it makes a great track for those 'arse' moments. That and 'Temper Temper' by Goldie. I used to love listening to that whilst cycling around London ;)

listen here

warning: not calming music!

I wanna use "Smack my birth up" as a thread title!!!

PMSL at wrapping the cats in clingfilm

better quickly post something soothing and relaxing for balance!

PMSL westcoaster...I hadn't thought of it like that

Like your thinking with the cats, but watch out you don;t get the animal rights lobby after you

Now now Foxy......

Just got your email - bloody good work Daisy! Did they delete those threads?

Afternoon foxy! Did you go out in your pjs?

No, put some clothes on and brushed my hair. Spent the whole arvo telling my friends little boy to stop picking on DD, felt like I was going on and on at him, and got annoyed that she did nothing.

Then at the end of the playdate, she and another mom told him what a good boy he'd been all afternoon.

Even if he did trap her hand in the door and was unkind to her constantly.

I'm liking the Goldie track...he's one of those men you know you shouldn't like, but is strangely attractive....IMO anyway

Foxy... It would appear so

I know what I need. A duvet day.

for your poor dd foxy! One of my friends' sons is like that and my dd gets really upset. My friend just thinks her ds is being playful !! Yes my lovely daughter enjoys being smacked round the face by your son! Hope you gave him a swift push over when your friend wasn't looking!

Best bit about the clingfilm is that now that I've declawed them both with the pliers, the clingfilm stays on for longer too.

I need to stay off the computer for a day.....I told DH I'd get cracked on with things and in the two days since I've seen him I've actually made more mess and clutter....off to have a snooze before he gets home so there's half a chance I'll be able to stay up long enough to speak to him.

ROFL westcoaster ! I'd love you to start a thread on this!

Slightly different subject, but all ths talk of cats has reminded me......how does one CAT another MNer...I've seen it around on the boards and am such a useless twit with these things I've no idea how it works.

And talking of cats...I've uploaded a photo of me and DS and my cat Daisy (haha...that's where she got the name) when DS was a few days old. Check out the glazed expression on my face...that's what a week of sleep deprivation does for you

westcoaster...you are on top form today...

Foxy - palm itching stuff. I had a 'heated discussion' with a couple of my good mates about discipline a few months back. They're firmly in the 'long-winded discussion & explanation' school of toddler management and were horrified at my gimlet stare & growling approach. Needless to say, I had to button my lip not to mention the fact that one of their little darlings had stopped my DD running away from him in a game of chase by grabbing her hair & pulling her over backwards!!

Lordy - have just realised the territory I'm straying into. Will shut up now before I get carried away. Back to cleaning the bathrooms.....

Hi all,

Just finished catching up on the afternoon - you guys have had a busy afternoon!!

PMSL re the cats...
Daisy to CAT you press the envelope on the bar - think you need to pay £5 to do this and you have to change the preferences on your profile to accept them.

Sputnik - Selci near Rieti in Lazio area apparently if that makes any sense to you!

Daisy - do you think I'd pass your MWs test?

I have felt totally lacking in energy and enthusiasm - if you mean have I lain on the sofa whilst whining to DH 'pleeaaasssee can you get me a drink of juice' in the most pathetic voice I can must then yes. If you also mean have I done zero exercise since the MS hit then the answer is also yes.

I have been troubled by aches, pains or other physical problems - if you mean do I feel like I've got a knitting needle shoved down my hip, does my pelvis feel like it's about to split in two and do I feel like I've been punched in the back then yes. Also, whoever said BHs don't hurt is a lying misogynistic bastard.

I have felt like crying - every day that I don't cry is an achievement for me.

I have felt panic or terror - omigod, I'm having a baby. Life will never be the same again, my career will go down the pan, I'm going to be fat forever, and will never ever get out of debt or be able to afford to buy a house. And what if I drop the baby? Or leave it at the shops?

I have been irritable with other people - my work are planning a party - for after I've left! I'm lucky my husband still wants to stay in the same house as me let alone talk to me, and the next person who makes a comment about my size, my hormones or my shoes is going to get a punch in the face.

LOL at gimlet stare and growl....a woman after my own heart...we've tried the long explanantions with DS, but he gets bored halfway through and his attention wanders...sometimes short and sharp is the best way

Annobal...cheers...I'd already used that to contact someone, just didn't realise what it was called....it's a bit like virtual whispering I suppose!!

ROFL Bumper. I wasn't game to do the test myself...

bumper...pmsl now....like I said, I think being pregnant might be skewing the results somewhat!

Looks we're all back on form this evening
