[SmuttyNuttyTaff]

chose this one hope nobody minds another quick thread!! the last one is a record i think at a day and a half!!!

Thanks Puzzle!

Schulte,
Happy Birthday to your DD, and good luck for the party.
DS is also having a party, which is going to be interesting as we have no idea whether 3 of the 7 kids invited are coming or not. Apparently it's common here not to bother replying. Makes planning a bit hit and miss. We are having the pary outdoors near a big lake; I've just convinced DH to borrow a table, as I can't face sitting on the ground cutting birthday cake, surrounded by rampaging kids.
Bleu, hope the headache clears up, do get it checked out if it continues.
Boff, your DH sounds a real star!

Morning everyone, don't really have anything interesting to report!

I can't believe that MW that BB saw - what a stupid old bag. What was she trying to do, cause the maximum amount of worry possible? So pleased that everything is actually OK, no thanks to her.

Schulte, yes, happy birthday-day to your DD!!

We got a funny party invitation yesterday - funny in the sense that it was really a non-invitation and a bit thoughtless. We have some very close friends that we have known for years, had babies with the first time around, go on holiday with and so on. The wife just sent an invitation to her 40th basically saying it was going to be a celeidh in mid-May in a village hall, and adults-only, so perhaps DH would like to come alone leaving me at home with the baby.

I thought this was pretty rude, not least because the last frankly meant-to-be-adult party we had, they needed to bring their offspring along because they didn't have a babysitter or some such reason, so we made them welcome and enjoyed their company, as we always do.

I fired off an email back saying thanks for the invite, but I didn't think either of us would be coming, as I would be breastfeeding and probably wouldn't want to leave a little baby with someone I didn't know. I also didn't see why DH should go off gadding about leaving me stranded on a Saturday night, so I decided for him for once (I didn't tell my friends that bit in the email).

It's like those bloody weddings in the distant countryside of people who have read too many bridal magazines, where they ban children outright and then express genuine surprise when you can't go because the logistics are too much of a nightmare.

AIBU?????

no specially as midmay baby will be tiny and cartable and fine at an all adult thing. I could understand more if it was a two year old

BB- D-cell = decel = deceleration. Heartbeats slowed. hth

I had a better night. Got more sleep last night than I had the two previous put together and only dd was sick so I'm thinking we might be getting there. I feel more human and not so worried I'm going down with it. Fingers crossed

That is so rude, Boff! I don't understand how people who've had kids themselves seem to ignore the reality when it suits them...

How about this: just had a message from the mother of one of DS's friends who hadn't replied, saying "I'm just phoning to ask if the party is still on, as X would really like to come. Please call me back." It's 11:15am, the party is at 3pm.

Boff - YANBU. Even if I could appreciate the no childen rule, to suggest that just DH comes is very rude and presumptuous.
My girlfried got married last summer and although children were invited we were told they would be entertained in their owwn marquee for the meal. DD wasn't having any of it and although I think my friend was a bit miffed (she doesn't have children yet), she smiled sweetly and arranged a highchair at our table. Friends make concessions.

Bronze - Fingers crossed for you. It's not much consolation but at least your other little ones got whatever it is now and not in a few weeks time when the baby arrives.

Hi just checking in quickly. We're off out for a bit of an escape from the house. I'll be back later, hope you all have a lovely day

Puzzle - lol DH's and DD's DD's wrap their daddies round their little fingers dh is exactly the same!! he is really fab with her though, the pair of them are a s thick as thieves.

Shulte - eek for the strange dreams! Happy Birthday to Mini Schulte though

Bleu - hope your headach has cleared.

Boffin - YANBU. they obviously know it would be a bit difficult and suggesting just your dh go is really rather rude.

Trista - have fun

Auld - hope your ds has a fab time

Bronze - hooray for a better night hopefully this will be the start of the end of the bug and things will get easier x

I'm looking at slings again and feeling overwhelmed. don't seem to be able to tak ein new information these days

Happy birthday to Schulte's DD!

Eugh, horrible dreams! Last night I dreamt about a tofu product which was sold in fish oil but nobody realised for ages & then all the vegetarians started going crazy about it?! & I also had a dream that I was studying the eating habits of a group of marines.

Not only is there something strange going on with my thoughts of food, why would I dream about sharing a house with a load of lovely marines & only be interested in what they were eating? It's my dream! I could've done anything with them!

Boff, YANBU. How rude - especially as they have kids themselves! Selective memories, it seems...

Bleu, I hope you're feeling better. Do get it checked out if you're not.

Springy - what a waste of dreamy marines

I know! I woke up needing to wee & was really annoyed with myself. I almost woke DH to rant about my subconscious, but thought it'd be a bit of a tactless reason to disturb him

"i'm really annoyed"
"zzz why zzzzzz"
"well i didnt get to have my wicked way with the marines! i just wanted their fish food ! and its not fair!!"
"WHAT???"
"it was only a dream......."
"harrrruuuummph"

Haha, yes, I don't think it would've been appreciated

Seriously though, some of them were hot! Such a waste! & I wasn't even pregnant in my dream like I usually am. Oh, the possibilities!

I just watched an episode of The Crystal Maze (DH has been on the toilet for about an hour, so it's not like I'm passing up a nice day out to do that ) & they had 50 seconds in the Crystal dome - they only lost 3 games in the whole thing. & they still didn't collect enough gold tokens to win. Idiots.

How's the back today?

ds1 probably watched the same crystal maze. Its one of his favourite programs and keeps complaining he can't go on it

thats truly rubbish crystal dome-ing!!!

tis not too bad, getting back to a bearable level thank goodness. i'm going to phone up and cancel my friday hydro on monday tis ridiculous, it wipes me out completely for 2 full days and i dont really do anything!!

Hows the contractions? xx

I always wanted to polish richard o'brians head though it was always quite shiney anyway

Oh, I love Richard O'Brien. He's fantastic. Edward Tudor-Pole is nothing in comparison.

The Crystal Maze is one of my guilty pleasures, though. I know it's naff & so 90s, but I love it. Even with ETP.

& I agree - the hydro just can't be worth it! You're so near the end now that there's no point in suffering more on the off-chance that a miracle may occur when in reality it's just awful for a couple of days each week.

The contractions are better, thanks. Much less frequent & less painful. & I'm full-term today!

oooooohhhhh Happy Full Term!!! glad the contractions are better xx

The aztec zone is the best or the water one and yup nothing really compares to Mr O'Brien. what channel is it on?? it was definately one of my fave programmes when i was younger, that and Nightmare

i think it was called nightmare anyway??? it was the one where you had the dungeon master and three friends guiding you while you had on a helmet and you had to be guided through rooms with goblins and arrows and falling floors and stuff, and you had a knapsack so you could collect stuff.

yup knightmare
