Hey guys new thread!
(i stole the title )

WARNING. UNWARRANTED RANT COMING...

Have just had text from DH. I think I mentioned he was only getting one day off work this week because they are SO BUSY? His fucking bosses have pissed off to the Lakes for two days break. If you see them Tallulahbelle please set a big fat scary swan on them (and I hope it poos on their feet too).

I am SO going to have this baby on Bank Holiday weekend out of spite (that's if I don't have it tonight...)

Rant over (for now).

FC not your fault - I just have 'issues'! Maybe one of these days I'll work them through properly.

Bottom spray!! PMSL!!

Natty alice was doing that yesterday. The most annoying thing is she can talk and tell me what's wrong, but was just screaming and shouting "NOOOOO"!! I tried to get her to tell me what was up, but she wouldn't, so I just ignored her. She soon got bored!

he wanted juice, but the red one, not the yellow one, so when i offered him the yellow juice i just made him worse. didnt think he would be so fussy at only 13 months old. omg what have i let myself in for. now im depressed and worried i wont cope

Humph. Feeling v pissed off. Just walked into town to go and open a joint account for me a DH and honestly, it's a 7-10 minute walk, and for every minute of it I was in pain in my pelvis and lower abdomen. By the time I got to the bank I felt sick and like shit, so got the bus home (which took longer than if I walked!). Just pissed of that I can't even do simple things at the moment.

My flat is a tip, loads of washing up to do and kitchen floor needs a serious clean (skanko) and rubbish needs taking out all of which DH promised he'd do. I have a friend coming round at 2 and though I am a house slut I am actually bothered what other people think of my flat (she's a work colleague, if it was a close friend I'd say fuck it they know what I'm like) but I really want my flat to look nice and I just feel so knackered and in pain and really frustrated that every small thing is such a struggle at the moment. I've made DH feel really bad about not doing the washing up etc. when he does so much already. I'm so done with being pg. And I'm going to my dad's tomorrow and really freaking out about it. It's like a 4 hour train ride (I HATE trains) and staying in a strange house (haven't stayed with my dad since I was about 16) and it just feels like I'm about to climb Everest at the moment. Sorry guys for the long rant, just feeling really shitty and incapacitated at the moment.

Ria, My sympathies - I'd be bloody furious!!

Natty - You will be fine. You've done it before - Spare a thought for those of us that truly don't have a clue!!

Poor Bumper. Sounds like my day yesterday. I had work colleagues coming round and so spent whole day tidying and cleaning interspersed with periods of having to lie down. Really wasn't in mood then DH came home and was cross that I hadn't emptied nursery ready for him to start painting! (I did have a nice time when the girls were here though )

I'm also worrying that I won't know when I am in labour as I seem to spend such a lot on my time in pain at the moment, and mostly I just ignore it. How will I know when it's the real thing?!

i think thats the worse thing, you dont know what ur getting into so u have blissful ignorance.. i know what im doing this time and am terrified

sorry to hear that bumper.. spare a thought for me running around after tom today he is being so naughty.. i have to take him to see HV today and so to surestart.. omg

oh bumper trust me, u'll know totally sympathise tho, wish i was near u so i could help out

You'll know Bumper... it just feels different

It really is bollocks isn't it bumper. Bollocks bollocks bollocks.

BOLLOCKS.

My house is a tip too (but no-one coming round). I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.

Bumper, you will know when it's the real thing! Yes it hurts, it hurts like hell, but it is a strange sort of pain. If you concentrate on the pain and what the pain is actually doing then it makes it sort of easier. I found that really concentrating on what my body was doing really helped. I know it won't work for everyone, but belief in yourself and that you can do it gets you through. Oh and listen to your mw, they know what they're talking about! That's what worked for me anyway!

I sound all lentil weaverey now!

my house is bad too, had a major rant @ DH this morning cos he spent the morning sleeping instead of helping me out. i got all upset cos the washing up wasnt done and neither was the bin.. he changed bin for me b4 he left tho

BTW I don't want to go the Lakes anymore cos chances are I would murder someone so I would never be allowed back!

Am going to hang my laundry out so I don't have to do anything with it (no doubt it will piss it down).

My house is a shit hole and I've done nothing today, but we are going shopping in salisbury in a bit so that is a sort of chore!

I emptied the bin last night and DH said "I could have done that if you'd said". If he'd looked he would have notice the rubbish on the floor surrounding the bin as well as in it because it was full. Sadly, Stargate was on...for HOURS...

I want my Mum to come back from her couple of days away (which she is allowed to have cos she's my mum) and then I could rant to her and my dad would make me a cup of tea.

okay gtg give tom a bath before he sees HV else she'll be reporting me for the remains of his lunch being under his neck

My house is actually reasonable cos my sister has cleaned it this morning. ( I pay for her car insurance - She's kind but not that kind!!)
That's just downstairs though. The upstairs looks like one of those houses you see on tv where some old person has died who's spent years hoarding stuff
I keep meaning to sort it but it's such a huge, daunting task that I usually come back downstairs and try not to think about it!

No, I insist my house has got to be the worest tip ever if I get chance I will photograph my spare room and post it on my file so you can all feel better!

I've now convinced myself that if I deal with a tiny part of the mess each day until the baby arrives, it may actually be sorted by then!! So, I'm off to have some lunch and then make a start. If i'm not back by three, feel free to assume that i've been buried by an avalanche of hoarded stuff!!

Hi everyone, am feeling seriously guilty today as i have been languishing on the couch playing Teletubbies for DS2 while DS1 at nursery! Have managed to have a sleep though so will hopefully be in an ok mood until DH can relieve me of my motherly duties this evening (if not, it looks like it will be dvds this afternoon). Have to say I've never been so glad that the weather is shite.

BZ - am very impressed at your novel writing - I have always wanted to do that but a. can't write b. would not have the patience and c. do not have the talent.

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes - feeling much better today and will stay at my place in the bottom of the queue for as long as possible. Actually on the positive side being in hospital has made me think that I REALLY want a home birth. Would it be wrong of me to not tell DH this and just not go? (Will have independent midwife with me - am NOT considering an unassisted birth, really!

How exciting that there has been a June birth already - it makes it seem all very real and very soon.

Good grief Ladies, off for a couple of days and you lot manage to nearly fill a new thread and HAVE A BABY!!!!!! Congratultions to Nannyjo.

I've been really sick with some kind of stomach flu, just feeling really dizzy all the time and haven't had the energy to even open my laptop. Feeling marginally better today, it's frustrating as I really need to catch up with a load of things from when I was stuck in bed.

Off to catch up with you lot anyway, I may be some time

Right off to dentist to have my tooth fixed now...wish me luck I HATE dentists (though did finally find a good one...)

Good luck
