Gosh but our pone is as posh as you like!!

Ponymum · 21/02/2010 18:32

cunty Are you stalking me? Where did you get that much detail?

SilverSky · 21/02/2010 23:39

any other PESH's suffering from dizzy spells?

Mine are random but mainly after a bath or if i move or sit up too quickly!

Cosmosis · 22/02/2010 08:55

CUNTY they've changed that peanut advice, they now say ok to eat even if allergies in the family (which I also have, but have beene eating of the nuts).

I too get the sneeze / cough pain. owwww

oh and I had major hormonal melt down on Sat night. Was feeling crappy cos somethign had gone wrong at work on Friday night just as was leaving. then felt fat and shitty all day sat, spent all day wondering if sliding down the shitty stick of depression again. So sat pm I had a massive crying spree and wail at TGO about how I am just fat and not pg at all and I don't fit in any of my normal clothes but all the maternity shizzle is for people with bumps but I just have a spare tyre etc etc. Had much reassurance from him and felt mucho better.

In other news TGO is handing his notice in today. hurrah.

Morning ladies!

Sliver - I'm constantly dizzy too, if that helps. Am 10+5 and touch wood^ have had no actual vomiting (mother helpfully said she started her ms at 12 weeks - oh yay, I say), but am so tired - principally due to further chronic insomnia. And constipated till it hurts. And I was a mean evil cow to my very lovely TSF even though he was doing everything he could to look after me...and he still didn't mind when I was mean. I don't quite know how I landed such a lovely blokey. Going to buy him a present at lunchtime to make up for the snarliness.

Oh so tired. Argh!

skihorse · 22/02/2010 10:24

Brilliant, I don't come online for 18 hours and it's just the usual merry-go-round of menkuls - so easy to breeze back in.

Pony One day when I iz rich I will have the best plastic surgeon in all of LA sort out my tummy once and for all and get rid of this residual pain - for now I'll grin and bear it. I went to my GP in the autumn of last year to complain about the terrible pain I was having and give her her dues she did send me straight along to the hospital for an ultrasound so they could have a look around. I would have thought if the bowel had attached itself then I would be having poo type problems but I'm almost like a man - I can poo anywhere any quantity right now. Btw, you iz so posh you read Tatler & Horse & Hound only. I've known people in both publications - I was never a deb though - I'm more point-to-point than poncing around in london bars!

Silver Yes, dizziness seems normal for "some" of us. I had it very badly to the point where I couldn't walk across a room without lurching from chair back to chair back because I needed to lean on things.

cunty I does laugh at your trying to avoid nuts and then sat there devouring your own bodyweight in Cadbury's nut delight type things. Durrrrrr!

Cossie You poor little flower - you are not fat though - even if you feel bigger than you are comfortable with, you are growing a beautiful little person - the little person is a fat little fucker, not you! I'm glad TGO is saying all the right things though - what a good man!

VAG If it helps my mum was sick until 7 months and I'm still puking at 18+4.

carrots I received your recommended book safely and I'm enjoying it. Apart from the crying every other page thing.

Sliver you needs to reads this: Food Standards - Pregnancy Guidance I love peperoni pizza - is my fave... if you lived in America you would not be allowed to eat it - but here you can. Read link and see what it says I def wouldn't stop eating it! Especially on hot cooked pizza

cunty That peanut allergy thing never made any sense to me anyway, wouldn't worry if I were you!

pone I fink as child is teen they want something she can properly learn to ride - so a couple of years would be prefereable to one year. I am only saying a year cos it seems a fair amount - I guess I could ride well before then... but I can share my sister's horse for a few months - so not too bothered.

ski my yard is the same place I have had ponies/ horses for 23 years - so yes I do like it they are family friends etc. However - these people are not very far away.. I need to chat to them really...

I have no news - sorry to those of you what am in pain

cheggers · 22/02/2010 11:37

Oh my god.

Something just came out of my nipple

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 22/02/2010 11:44

Was it a twin, Cheggs?

skihorse · 22/02/2010 11:44

haha cheggers Obviously we're going to require more info than this!

cheggers · 22/02/2010 11:59

my week by week said i was producing colostrum by now, so obviously i gave my boob a squeeze.

to my horror a small blob of yellowy guckiness came out.

lol. most alarming.

am not in the office today by the way

skihorse · 22/02/2010 12:03

hahahaha grooo - you've nobody to blame but yourself if you squeezed it. I dare you to put it in the fridge and get your husband to inspect it when he gets home.

cheggers · 22/02/2010 12:12

arr it was but a smidge.

tis gone after being stretched between my fingers in manner of tiny bit of fanny juice - and sniffed

anyway can't tell huband. he still likes my boobs at the moment.

(well for wanking on purposes at least. sex was out a long time ago )

err - don't tell him i said that .....

iggypiggy · 22/02/2010 13:03

I have just seen the most badly behaved toddler... enough to put us all off...

Ponymum · 22/02/2010 13:25

Ah... cheggs, always a delight! Lovely nipple snot. What an image. I have a kind of parmesan cheese I think. Didn't get this at all first pg, so I am wondering whether my boobles are doing this so early because they are already 'broken in', so to speak. We has chosen a double buggy now - the Baby jogger with a baby pod added. It's a compromise as it's not all terrain but any of those in a double are just too heavy for me to lift at this stage.

ski I is not posh, I just live in the country. Sometimes the two are confused by city folk. I love Point to point too! MrP always places his £1 bet on the most amateur looking nag with the trainer and jockey who clearly don't know what they're doing, which is often half the field.

*Stan and Pat who have a couple of old stables at the back of the pig shed.

Did someone mention hunting?

Hi all, back from my extreme camping trip. Photos in t'other place when I get around to uploading them. Had a fantastic time - LC LOVED his brand new, very expensive 4-seasons adult sleeping bag and has now decided that sleeping in that, on a camping mat, is more comfy than his bed. I decided last night, when back home, NOT to indulge him with this as I can imagine never, ever getting him out of a tapered, tight, one-person-only sleeping bag which his future wife may think badly of me about.

Had lots of fun, took him to the water park in York where I went on all the water slides which had warnings saying, "Don't ride these slides if you're diffed or have neck or back problems". LC was a pwoper adrenalin junkie and went on all but the fastest one which you had to be older than 5 to go on anyway, so I wouldn't let him. On the other day we took him to the railway museum which he loves and I cope with. He wanted to know why some trains have round buffers, and others have oval ones, which even the elderly trainspotter gents at the information desk didn't know (although they found out) and were quite embarassed to have been out-trained by a 5 year old.

cheggs get used to it. If you decide to BF them it will probably be there for good . I only stopped lactating when I got diffed this time - LC is 5 1/2. It's ok, and practical if you get short of milk for a cuppa (that is SO a joke BTW).

ski sorry you're in pain, that's so miserable Your specific stuff aside, round ligament pain is extraordinarily painful. Pregnancy hurts - it's one of those things they don't tell you - and if you have extra stuff like you do, and pony and cas, it's horrid

Hi new people! Can we have a new quiz?? We haven't invented a PESH quiz. Any suggestions for questions?

Q) When faced with a hawaiian pizza, do you:

  1. Leave it coz it's got meat on it which will probably give you listeria
  2. Leave it coz the meat will be caged and cruel and the pineapple not fair trade
  3. Leave it coz the combination of ham and pineapple is fundamentally wrong
givecarrotsachance · 22/02/2010 13:38

iggs what did the toddler do?

iggypiggy · 22/02/2010 13:42

rots was in supermarket - it picked up some chocolate fingers (box of) and ran off with them - no-one (not even the mum) could catch it as it kept running off - ripping open box... eventually toddler cornered by security guard and biscuits removed from grasp - mum generally pretending nothing happening...

Cosmosis · 22/02/2010 13:42

I loves ham and pineapple pizza.

Ponymum · 22/02/2010 13:55

cos Not left out. I also loves.

Did someone mention camping?

iggs What everyone failed to understand was that the mother ignoring the toddler is a Valid Parenting Technique. Apparently when they behave like that you are supposed to look the other way. I have book which says this, so it must be OK.

My latest delight, just to prepare you all, is trying to spend some time on the loo this morning but the foal interrupting and making me sing 'Yes my Name is Igggle Piggle' to her WHILE DOING A CRAP! Ah, the dignity of motherhood.

P.S. if you don't know who Iggle Piggle is best you google it now. You will need to know this.

givecarrotsachance · 22/02/2010 14:36

Hmm @ toddler. pony's POV/book is perfectly acceptable IMO LOL.

But seriously, LC would be In Big Trouble if he'd done that, even as a toddler, and basically, he just wouldn't have. Not ever. Remember you only notice the naughty kids, not the nice ones (which are the vast majority).

pony I feel your pain. This weekend, in tent, not known for their ability to stop sound from travelling,

Me, "I'm just nipping to the loo"

LC (loundly, from our tent, can be heard across whole campsite), "MUMMY, ARE YOU GOING FOR A WEE OR A POO?".

cos I also used to love ham and pineapple pizza but being slightly sad I avoid the ham now and go for sweetcorn and pineapple, and add anchovy as a slightly more ethical alternative. I am quite of the opinion, though, that pineapple is an excellent accompaniment to many meats.

givecarrotsachance · 22/02/2010 15:00

Come to think of it, I wonder if being the mother of the chocolate finger child would have been less embarassing?

Yes I mentioned camping. I've also been abseiling and gone down water slides. I'm just a risk-taker, what can I say .

iggypiggy · 22/02/2010 15:04

I had no idea who Iggle Piggle was when I picked my name pone

pone Now I understand the technique - she was using it alot

rots tis true - I only notice the naughty ones... mine will not be like that - anyway re: LC - I hope you answered him?

GrumpyGasper · 22/02/2010 15:07

Just popped on to boak at sweetcorn and anchovies. Must get on. I hate first days back at work. However, I have decided to give up work at the start of June. Stuff my savings, I can't be arsed any more.

iggy do you have interwebs after 5pm or do we have to sort out rendezvous before then? Will post my mobile number and do as I am told.
