[Mrsmadevans]

Welcome to the first thread for the 2019 Christmas countdown m'dears

Fluffy I need your memory. Mine is atrocious. Although, my degree is in history, which involved me having to remember a lot of dates and names and that was fine. Maybe it's since I've had children.

Wheel I'm the same. I can figure out a plot in no time. My dh hates watching films with me for this.

Trying to change our bedding but mav has made himself comfy lol! Excuse my giant bump there’s no hiding it lol.

Thank you Mrs - paddy gave me some plain biscuits and ginger ale which has eased the nausea a lot!
Aye in my field it’s trust no one haha, everyone’s out for themselves and will tell the story that benefits them the best, it’s very easy to spot! Plus people who lie always trip themselves up as they forget things

Thank you sea, I’m laying in some crazy positions trying to get some relief. Your poor mum

fluffy She's so done with my shit lol it makes me laugh! I don't mean to spoil but I over and hyper analyze everything!

And yes! The key to futons is a great mattress and the ability to get up.

seafood Awwww I feel for your mom on tired of things going wrong. I hope so much that this is her last surgery!

PSB I'm sorry your girlie is still poorly :( Poor baby but good on you mom for letting her stay up lol

Fiddle HAHA my husband gets sick of me sometimes too during movies but he's a bit more understanding than my friend is at least.

acey Awww Mav just wants to cuddle in the blankies. I want to give him scritches and toy mice haha maybe I'll send him something in the package too!

Wheelie - oh god it was a friggin nightmare earlier! Mav had buried his toy mouse in the litter tray then pooped on it, so obviously we threw it away! He went mental and kept doing this god awful heart wrenching meow! we are going to have to go out and get another one tomorrow 😂 he has another toy mouse but it doesn’t squeak, although he seems happy with it for now haha! Mav gets so excited for post or packages bless him he starts purring
He’s fallen out with me now as Addie kicked him haha

acey does he have any spinning butterfly toys?

Do you guys have the same kind of batteries in the UK. Stupid question but like if I get a battery operated toy or two for Mav you could get batteries?

Ooo no he doesn’t have any of them! Oh I meant to tell you, those fishes you recommended; he loved them
Aye we have the same type of batteries that you do

Buahahahaha I'm going to spoil Mav too! I'll send him some of the stuff my kitties love :)

Hi all, happy New Year!. I’ve been completely out of it today, DH’s family turned up out of the blue so have been hosting for them. His sister has decided she’s sleeping over, which is an absolute nightmare because we only have the sofa and it’s too small for her. She’s ran out and got her own blow up bed but we had absolutely no warning!.

Happy New Years cathy!! I'm so sorry you are dealing with ILs who don't sound very courteous! You poor thing!! :( I hope you got the sleeping arrangements all sorted!

8:09 PM so like 1 am for all of you guys. You'd BETTER all be asleep and be staying there.

My chaise is coming tomorrow! I know I've said it repeatedly but I'm super excited haha

Lilah ran off after giving me a few snuggles so I'm sad now

Wiiiiiide awake 😳🙄😑
Aye definitely hit the insomnia stage of pregnancy 😬

Awww acey I hope you finally went back to sleep! It's about 10 pm so abouts 3 am there?

Ok my loves It's now 11 pm and I love you all dearly and I'm going to bed! I'll chat at you all tomorrow.

357

I've given up on sleep.

Morning!

I'm on the train now; getting up at 5.15 was a shock to the bloody system, I can tell you!

I hung our washing out and I'm not sure it'll do much today as there's no wind to speak of. It's also the hardest frost of the winter so far. Ah well, it'll finish off more quickly inside for having been outside, so that's something!

We might go to SeaLife on Friday as our annual passes expire soon. Manchester schools go back tomorrow, so hopefully it won't be too busy. We need to get the kids' feet measured anyway, so will combine the outing with a visit to Clarks.

Morning!
Need coffee urgently

Need to get my old passport sent off today, then midwife tomorrow and hopefully get this pain under control!

Wheelie - nope I gave up even trying at 3am! Bring on the sleep deprivation haha. Have a good sleep!

Have a grand day all!

This time next week I'll be at school waiting to see DD off.

Morning everyone
Fluffy you poor thing that is just savage! Sealife sounds really good fun and combined with the new shoe hunt sounds a great idea. We could never find shoes wide enough for DD2 she was a H and then some , they used to give her bigger shoes to allow for the width
She still has huge probs now Size 10 !!! Massive width!
PSB not you too and Acey ! God there must be something going on perhaps it is the Christmas/ New Year stress of it all now dissipating?
Have still not heard from my Dsis, l am sad because she is not the Dsis l want and because there is no point to even bothering with her because she will never change.
This is what she is like . She has forbidden any of us putting pictures of her or her DH on our FB ever. She hates having her photo taken . She is a staunch Tory and went to the Assembly member for our area (they are like the Scottish govt but Welsh) Christmas meet and greet and he took pics of everyone there and she has allowed him to put them on his site for all to see and she has put them on her FB site too. Now you may not think anything of that but l feel like l have so lost respect for her because of her shallowness. Her lick arsing knows no bounds. I think going NC is a really hard thing to achieve because you feel sad for what could have been and you miss that person even though they treated you badly, does that make sense?
Anyway that is my mood today! Not good but there you go, must just get on with it and get my behind up the parents , Mum to the Hairdressers this morning , she is having a cut so bit longer appt needed. l told Mum to keep out of it all and she has so far , she is sad about it but she is very supportive of me which has amazed me to be honest.
Luther was just Amazing, loved it but very scary (l am a wuss)
Very violent too !
Cathy how on earth did you cope with your Dsil staying, omg that must have been awful , you only have the 2 bedrooms!
Wheelie that is fab news re the Chaise l hope you are really comfy on it m;dear !
Better shift
Have a good day everyone take care

Mrs - unfortunately going NC is sometimes the only way we can protect our sanity. Toxic people will never change, they will keep injecting their poison, belittling you and continually putting and beating you down until you start to believe what they are saying is true! It’s natural to grieve for what could have been, and for the relationship you wish you could have had. There is no reasoning with these people, in their minds their actions are justified because they are never wrong, they are incapable of seeing themselves for what they truly are, toxic, evil, unhinged, bullies and scum! Unfortunately speaking from experience here but hey ho, life goes on!

The passport people want a supporting document to send off with my passport, that’s fine but my printer doesn’t work haha. Will print it off at work tomorrow then post everything back after my midwife appointment

Not doing much today, back to work tomorrow so going to chill out with my love! Got this gorgeous wee keepsake / storage box for Addie’s room.
All booked in for 4pm on the 8th jan for my scan eeeee, can’t wait to see my wee miracle
We have set up the bottle steriliser and perfect prep machine in the kitchen, I plan on breast feeding, but I’m well aware these things rarely go to plan so I want to be prepared! Formula or breast feeding is fine by me, as long as she’s getting what she needs that’s all that matters!
After giving me a scare yesterday Addie is having a lovely kicking session today! Oh how I love my wee angel

Mrs - this sums it up perfectly

Well I won’t be posting on this thread again as it’s been made very clear to me that my constant baby talk is not welcome. It was never my intention to be cruel or insensitive or downright nasty with all my baby talk as I have been accused of. I am just excited that is all.
Don’t worry though long time posters you can come back because I am done. I am not a nasty person and I figured this was a thread for any type of chat, but whatever.
Have a nice life all, you won’t hear from me again.

With me it's the dreaded headlice Mrs. They've stopped biting, now they're just crawling about, which tickles and wakes me up. DS2 gave them to all of us except DH, who's bald.

You're so organised Acey!

I've tried PMing Acey, she's got them turned off. I hope she's okay.

Hi all. Hope it’s ok to join?
I am a fully pledged Christmas enthusiast and would celebrate all year round if I could ha.
Last Christmas was lovely but I felt so disorganised, I’m hoping this thread can help with that. I was back at work on the 27th so it felt like Christmas was over with in the blink of an eye too. Back to reality with a bang ha.

I’ve been in to Thornton’s today and they have all their Christmas chocs reduced greatly. I got a box of advent chocolates for £1 and also a couple of the chocolate reindeer models for £1.50 each. They have short dates on them though, varying from April to September so they are not for use this year.

Has anyone ever had problems with Matalan before? I received my order today but they’ve included a pair of boots that aren’t part of my order. I have emailed them to find out how is best to return them, but this isn’t the first time they’ve done this lolz.

The card factory have loads of reduced gift bags and wrapping paper should anyone wish to stock up. I begrudge paying full price for anything so I have indeed stocked up.

Hope I’m not imposing on this thread by posting, I got so excited when I signed up and saw a Christmas board lolz.

Afternoon everyone!. I know, I really can’t believe SIL, she’s still sat in her pyjamas watching tv on the blow up bed. I can barely move around my living room and she isn’t telling me when she’s going. I honestly cannot believe her!.

I’ve tried PMing Acey too but there’s been no replies.

Welcome Foxyboxy !
