The Wagon Round 2: wonder how many will fall off this time?

[GiraffeYoga]

New Threaad Wagoners!

Hi

Ses- what a funny thing to say! But I do agree, from the pics I've seen of O on FB, he is looking a lot like you

MMM- day sounds good. Glad you had a good day and no bad mood for you.

Gruff- sorry to hear of cyst, hope you can get to the docs soon to get it sorted.

Nat- Hope you enjoyed steak and chips

Diege- how was MIL?

Tink- hope you had a great bday

Star- is DH feeling better?

Hi everyone else.

Hope the bad moods are improved. I could do with sitting on the bad mood sofa for a bit. Had an ok weekend here. Although DH is peed off with me again for a tiny insignificant reason. Sometimes he cant let the small thing go and just sulks. I just cant be arsed reaches for a large G&T . He knows I hate it when he sulks and wont talk and he plays on it BIG TIME

Im looking at full buggy sunshades for the holiday. Anyone got one? Im looking at shade a babe or Koo-Di Pack-It shade. I've got a thread in Pushchairs on the subject.

Hi Giraffe! I'd not thought of a buggy sunshade and I'm just using the hood of the buggy. I'd be interested to know what you decide on!
Grr at your DH! What does he think he's ultimately achieving?! Hope his sulk soon passes.

Will do Ses. We've actually bought a 2nd hand M&P Aria for the holiday (Carboot bargin at £10 and its barely used!) We didnt want the Bee to get damaged and since we are changing planes enroute, the chances are high. The hood on that is ok but doesnt cover the SG if she leans forward to look out. We also want her to sleep during the day if we are out so want something to make it dark for her.

No idea re DH. It gets on my wick so much so Im seething just writing this. He's done it for years and its feels like today was the proverbial straw that broke the camels back....

Sorry, AND RELAX!

Sorry Giraffe...went off and did a mega work email
Hope you've been indulging in some well deserved G&Ts?

LOL thanks Ses. Would do but ran out of tonic.

Might have a whiskey though!

Hmm... Glad that's whiskey and not whisky! (Irish is much better and DH didn't even have to pay me to say that!)

Right, I'm logging off now and off to bed. Hoping for another good night from O who slept through until gone 5.30am last night!

opps didnt see the typo. Its scotch in this house only Im afraid.

My DH is very fond of his single malts...

Sorry Mr Ses

morning all, not had a good night, couldnt sleep till around 1am, and im awake already. feel a little sickly, and got a banging headache. at work for 10, but its a nightmare getting max to his dads then me to work as have to go back on myself. just means an early start.
hope today at work is better than last monday.
hope everyone has a good day.

Morning

Sorry to hear of a bad night MMM. Hope you got M off to his dads ok then you to work. Thats a lot of rushing about when you are feeling off colour.

Missed alarm clock this morning (always a risk with ear plugs!) but fortunately not too late into work.

Sorry for ranting last- although im still annoyed !

Hi everyone!

Morning . Sorry to hear about your bad night MMM, agree that rushing around when you're feeling rough is the pits
GIRAFFE hope you're ok. I was with someone for 6 years who could sulk for England (I think 3 days was his record)and would give me the silent treatment for as long. Would it help to talk about it on here? (not being nosy, honest...well,maybe just a little bit Oh and changing subject, I have had a shade a babe in the past - it did the job but was ever so difficult to adjust according to the weather and did look rather 'shroud' like . I have seen a less extreme version (just the hood but it does cover the face)by the same company I think, that I may try out (think it's in Blooming Marvellous catalogue, or could be the Jojo one)
SES, I too hadn't heard of that 'spit out the baby' thing ..now I have heard the old 'spitting out the dummy' but not the former! I must post some pictures of J , he's so grown up now and 1 on Sunday. I told him off for the first time today(he has a biting thing going on where he sinks his teet into a thigh or cheek and then emerges with a grin on his face. It really hurt and I said 'No!' on a sharp voice, cue a downturned lower lip and lots of heavy breathing before wailing. Think he's probably too young to scold in retrospect, but maybe he's got the message
Right, better go to dentists!

morning

back to normality

mm - sorry for bad nite
diege - bless ds
giraffee - men!!

i had a buggy parasol for dd1 for buggy she kept pulling it and bending our buggy has a hood so sufficent
quiet day here and catching up on cleaning and tidying

Morning

Hi Tink! Glad you had a good weekend. Hope cleaning is ok today and not too painful

Diege- thanks for asking. Right now, I am not sure- but it is monday morning when everything seems worse . Was considering starting a thread under a new name. I've just lost sight of what is normal for a relationship! I really dont think i can take any more of his behaviour and walking on eggshells - but then I find myself wondering whether im the cause of it....

Hope the dentist goes ok. I had braces for years as a teenager.... Didnt give me a lisp though!

Afternoon! All ok at dentists. Have the upper and lower trays fitted(it's invisalign) but this is just a practice run before the 'attachments' are bonded on in 2 weeks time. They have to be removed for eating (boy is this going to curb my snacking)and worn for about 22 hrs a day. No lisp either!
GIRAFFE start a thread! It seems like there's something going on that is really bothering you,and MN may well be able to offer advice, or at least put things into perspective (or not)so that you can assess your reactions to the situation. Hope you're ok x
TINKS, schools are off another week here which is a real pain work-wise. Dh off today though and has taken them all up a mountain in Wales Good to hear it'snot just me and MILs

Afternoon!

Saw a Nurse Practitioner who treated me like a child and said I was "very young" to have a ovarian cyst and it was unlikely. she said what did I think it was? what did I want her to do? (erm...your job??)

I cried in the end as I just didnt seem to get it across what was going on despite telling her what was going on. she said I should wait as its only been a week and see if it gets worse...ok then!thanks

sorry that you are having trouble with DH GY. Please feel free to FB me if you want to vent. and yes a post in r'ships might help.

Diege - I have told GC off in same way as you describe. problem is he thinks its hilarious when I say "NO!" he has also started full on toddler tantrums - great! he is very sweet most of the time but he is starting to object to being picked up when he is playing something or being put back in pushchair after walking etc...

Hi Ses, ASO, MMM anyone else.

Oh and Diege - my MIL is coming today until Thursday

erm just realised that "full on toddler tantrums" is very much an exaggeration - apolgies!

Very for you GRUFF, what a condescending so and so at the Gp..Did she have any positive suggestions at all? Maybe you could make an appointment with the GP and ask for a referral if you're getting no joy? Oh and bad luck on MIL visit . I should count my blessings it was just the one day!

evening all, after being up so early, i decided to go back to sleep, and ended up turning my alarm off and going back to sleep. bad idea as didnt wake up till 9, and meant to be at work for 10. with half hour walk to drop M off, then a 10 min bus ride. but i made it altho was very rushed.

had an awful day again. on my own, 9 vans 2 bed makes.
they take the piss. sorry but its gettin me mad now.

hope everyone is ok.

about the drs visit today GRUFF

Hi MMM.It does sound like they are taking advantage with the work situation. Is there anyone there you can talk about it to? Maybe start looking for something else while keeping present job to tide you over?
Oh and quick question.Is it too mean of me to dress ds up in a girl's dress and headband for fancy dress day at nursery next week? I am struggling for inspiration, and have piles of baby girl stuff...

not sure who i can talk to about it, and theres nothing part time going, monday and friday are ideal days for me to work for getting M cared for.
and dont think i would send DS in a dress and handbag to nursery, altho i did put a dress and girls shoes on M the other week at CANTS, and he loved it haha. its not the first time tho, as for 8 hours when he was born he was in pink girls clothes haha poor boy isnt he.

MMM - I agree that you should try and talk to someone. Do you have an appointed supervisor?

Diege - I don't think I'd send O to nursery in a dress either but he is my PFB I suppose! I can see why it's the easy option for fancy dress.

Gruff - Quite frankly, that's just not good enough!!! If I were you, I'd make another appointment with GP.
And don't worry, IKWYM about "full on toddler tantrums" (but not quite !) O is v good at arching his back and screaming if I take something away from him he's not meant to have, try and put him in his car seat, buggy or if I change his nappy!

Giraffe - I could have written some of your post myself

Hello tink! (and anyone else lurking!)

really dont know who tho, as the people hu give me teh vans are the higher positioned ones if you get me.

Morning

MMM- sorry that work isnt great. Doesnt seem fair at all. You could ask how they decide to divide up the vans? Might open the conversation. for you.

Gruff and about the nurse practitioner.... thats awful. My friend had cysts at the age of 18 or 20 which were very painful so not sure age is that much of a factor. Are you going back to a doctor?

We also get the ab-dabs if we say no to the SG (read that as: say no, lie her down to change her, take something away, not hand her the thing she is pointing to immediately, not be fast enough getting her food ) we have a determined young lady on our hands! Although I think this age is frustration plays a part, she is desperate to walk and talk and cant quite get there.

Diege- LOL about dressing up DS (I cant believe he is 1!) Thats quite a bizarre thing to do! They must be tame at my nursery. We get colour days once a month. Yesterday it was yellow
Glad the dentist went ok

Ses- Im sorry that you feel you could have written my post its not a great place to be.... hows things with you and DH at the moment?

Playing if you are lurking would be good to hear how you are doing.

Anyone else lurking? lardy- did the DCs do the sponsored walk yet?

I am going to do a thread about the r'ship but I'm going to wait until I'm less about things so I dont skew reality and demonise him when its not quite fair... I wrote a huge post on my email yesterday but its maaaahoooooosive so I might need to trim it down a bit. Was good to get it down on "paper" but was a bit scary at the same time.... there is soo much at stake.

Morning! Just a quickie as need to catch train to do my last interview. I think a thread in realtionships would be good GIRAFFE - I've seen some good advice given out there. Agree, good idea to 'cool off' a little first; really hope you start to feel better about things soon xx
MMM do you have a supervisor you could speak to? GIRAFFE's ideal about striking up a conversation about allocation of vans is a good one and hopefully you can then shape the disussion in such a way that they can see you're disgruntled (but wanting to resolve things rather than just walk out).
SES sorry to hear that things are bad with dh and you too. As with GIRAFFE, feel free to unload here, that's what we're here for!
Oh and fancy drress thing is a sponsored event (not sure what they're sponsoring - keeping the clothes on all day??)for the great Toddler Toddle(?) Dh appalled at my dressing up suggestion(wonder if dressing a girl up as a boy would be the same reaction? or a lion? , sorry, the sociologist in me coming out there ). So back to the drawing board!

LOL Diege- you are right, dressing a girl as a boy seems more acceptable somehow... weird that.

How about a sailor or police man or burglar (visions of him with striped T shirt, cape and swag bag)
