But rots do you have to.. you know like... compromise and that? Cos I'm not good at that and I'm beginning to think this is something I should have thought about Before Now...

OkieCokie · 21/04/2010 12:25

You love 'em sooo much compromises are easy . Rots do you agree? Going out on the lash has been my biggest compromise but maybe I was getting a bit too old for that anyway..

CurlyCasper · 21/04/2010 12:37

Compromise, reason, zen - none of these words exist to me right at this moment because the world is full of useless cunts. Clearly I understand house sale procedure better than both my purchasers and estate agents. Just as we are ready to exchange contracts they pipe up (blaming their mortgage lender for doing things backwards) that they need to have a survey done. well, duh! [JD face]

I asked about this time and time again and the estate agents assured me that because of the nature of their mortgage they didn't need one etc. This could have been arranged weeks ago and now I have to wait

And the house is in complete disarray because we have started packing up. aArrrggggghhhhhhh

so, nice thoughts: cute babies sleeping...

CUNextTuesday · 21/04/2010 12:42

I made discussions of the day! Doing a bit of moonlighting in 'politics' I was!

carrotsarenottheonlyvegetable · 21/04/2010 12:47

okie yes I agree - mostly. cunty There were times in the early weeks when I found it sooo hard to have to work around the baby. Like, planning a shopping trip I had to figure out where and when I was going places so I knew where I could feed him, change him or let him sleep. Now the biggest issue is having to finish the day in time to get him into bed for 7pm, and when he's away with ex we find ourselves being a lot more relaxed about mooching around somewhere without clock watching.

When I'm really tired and I just want space, that's tough. But having a supportive partner is the answer there. When I was raising LC alone, I'd come home from work at about 6.30 or 7pm (an hour's drive), with LC who came to work with me and the dog. I'd have to walk the dog, with the baby and then get back, feed the dog, feed the baby, bath and bed baby and then think about eating my own dinner (usually ex cooked which was nice). By this time it would be around 8.30pm, and I'd be so tired. If LC had been fussy, or the dog was ill, or I was just exhausted, I could get quite miserable.

When YOB and I got together I had spent a few months as a single person and that was even harder as I could never, ever just walk out and away from it all even for a moment.

But now, we share everything. YOB loves doing outdoors things with LC, so they'll go on bike rides 2-3 times a week after school and I get to just be "me" for an hour (bliss). And I can just go and walk the dog, or sit on my own in the garden, or go to a night class which I couldn't do before (I wasn't allowed out in the evening).

And yet, when LC is away, I miss him like there's a huge piece of my heart not there. I remember when he was born feeling like there'd been a baby boy sized hole in my life that I'd not even realised was there. It was like I was complete, like something had been missing that was totally indescribable until it was lying there in its little babygrow in all its perfection and beauty.

I frequently struggle to get over how beautiful my boy is. And yes, I look at him and think he's a handsome fella but I also recognise that he's just a boy - not exactly a Leonardo DiCappuchino. That's not what I mean. It's the life, the shiny, orange, bright, funny, innocent life that just radiates out of him both in his aura and in what he says and does. I can't imagine him turning into a flawed adult and it would be such a loss to the world when it happens.

But then, when he grows, more beautiful children are born and the world keeps its freshness and wonderfulness.

rots now goes and stabs herself with a stapler to stop being so bloody soft.

cunty wow - that's you doing that and pony with her muff muff muffins.

cas bloomin' 'eck.

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 21/04/2010 13:17

Rotty is a softie! Rotty is a softie!

Hey ladies - apols for radio silence - have been lurking but not posting as pesky work gets int eh way. I mean seriously, what's more important right now?!

Anyway, I survived preggo yoga on Monday, I think baby Clint is bopping around though am so constipated (still) it could be anything. (Though the fact that it happens at the same time every day seems positive). And I have some lovely new preggo clothes just in time as I'm now humungous. There were ladies at yoga well over 20 weeks with a smaller bump. Though to be fair there were also some at fewer weeks or about the same who were bigger.

Cas hope the house stuff gets sorted. Mum's friend said she'd done moving house and divorcing, and moving house was easily more stressful. Nothing is ever straightforward and one is totally reliant on other people to just get on with it.

Yoohoo to everyone else

iggypiggy · 21/04/2010 13:23

and while I'm talking to myself

things I have done this week which = hormonal

  1. Cry cos I fed my dog a piece of cheese and he took it all trusting like a baby bird.

  2. Get VERY cross about people posting on bloke's FB page (luckily not mine) with their fucking 'just you wait till july' comments.

I do realise both = irrational - but I can't help it... feeling tearful again from typing this

Ponymum · 21/04/2010 13:24

casp I am so furious on your behalf! That is completely unbelievable, but also tragically only too believable based on my own experience of ignorant lying weasels estate agents.

Here's what I suggest:

  1. Get a photo of agent / buyers and angrily stab it with your biggest, nastiest knife.
  2. Take a deep breath.
  3. Play the 'heavily pregnant woman who needs to move house NOW' card and tell your agent the buyers had better pay whatever they need to to get the fastest survey in history done pronto.
  4. Don't worry about any mess in house for the survey - that's not what a surveyor is looking at.
  5. Think about cute bunnies and pretty rainbows until this ordeal comes to an end.

ski I have no idea about "bucket".

cunty I am off now to your Dear Nick thread.

CurlyCasper · 21/04/2010 13:27

Thanks PESHs. I am now not stressing so much as working out ways to make the person causing the problems pay once it has all gone through.

I have bought. And sold. And bought. And now selling again. I should know better by know!
Thanks goodness for the switch to rental now.

carrots you big softie

CUNextTuesday · 21/04/2010 13:30

I have been acknowledged as the heavyweight political commentator at least, after all these years

iggypiggy · 21/04/2010 13:31

cassie bollocks to the lot of them I say

CurlyCasper · 21/04/2010 13:37

hear, hear iggylicous! I hope you have better luck.

iggypiggy · 21/04/2010 13:38

I am having house sell = fail

CurlyCasper · 21/04/2010 13:40

You've had viewings though, no? We first went on the market last June. Sure your place, being much more desirable, will sell quicker.

skihorse · 21/04/2010 13:41

iggy/curly/rots What do you think of this? www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1267578/Chanelle-Hayes-insists-expecting-speculation-faking-pr egnancy.html She's allegedly due in the same half of the month as us. My mum didn't show until 7 months and only wore maternity clothes because she'd made them herself and wanted to make use of them.

curly Some people in life are liars - I think we all know this. But, it really irks me when people lie within their professional capacity. E.g., I was sent a CV back in December for an American guy working in Poland. I asked the agent if he was allowed to legally work here (US visas are notoriously tricky). I was assured yes. I interviewed the guy - I asked HIM if he was legal, Yes, yes yes. He was hired... took about 3 weeks for immigration to get on the case. (Thankfully my name not associated with it!) But to be BLATENTLY lied to was infuriating.

CurlyCasper · 21/04/2010 13:47

I'd like to see her "before" pics ski! And I am more alarmed at Jessica Taylor's bump being described as "huge". She's eight months gone and smaller than me!

Agree re professional liars. Interviewed someone last week who wrote one thing on CV and the truth, according to former employer, was quite different. Muppet.

CurlyCasper · 21/04/2010 13:49

surely if she was lying she'd fake a bump too? Maybe she'll step out with a little African orphan and claim that she sneezed it out come July.

skihorse · 21/04/2010 13:53

curly haha indeed, I thought Jessica's bump was very "six month-ish" - Denise Van Outen is sporting a proper HUGE bump, as did Jenifer Ellison. Well Chanelle seems to have some mental health problems and I wouldn't actually have put it past her to "fake" a pregnancy to get the ex-bf (footballer obv.) on side... but erm... how late do you leave it for someone to call your bluff?

iggypiggy · 21/04/2010 14:00

ski spookily I was just shown that article by someone in the office - tis v. hard to believe she is same stage as us...

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 21/04/2010 14:11

I want to not show until 7 months too.....

Talking of which - anyone else turned into a preggo cliche? I stroke my chocolate belly bump while watching TV and waddle a bit when I walk (always stiff when first get up to move).

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 21/04/2010 14:14

Bloody hell! My bump is not far off Jessica's "huge" one! Whoever wrote that has clearly not been around that many pregnant women.

Right - no chocolate for me this afternoon

CurlyCasper · 21/04/2010 14:19

stroke it, feed it, love it vag

Yesterday, a colleague who had her last baby a year ago said she was actually jealous seeing me in my laid back preggo position in a meeting. Think she misses her bump. Meanwhile, I am jealous of her lovely skinny figure - and she has had two kids.
