Sorry 21 Sad that is a very short cycle! Were you on the cb trial?

LuluJakey1 · 09/08/2014 16:34

Sorry 21 FX next month Sad

I am having a lie down. We have been up to Alnwick and Morpeth with PIL.
Exhausted. DH is sitting in garden with them. I am lying on bed with fan on me having some peace and quiet.

Cupcake- you must be so excited about the birthday party! Grin

LuluJakey1 · 09/08/2014 16:53

DH and MIL gone for walk along beach. FIL just knocked on bedroom door to say do I mind if he does a bit of weeding for us as the borders need a bit of a going over.
Not at all, thank you very much.
Says he will bring me another cup of tea in an hour and just to get some rest. Awww!

Thanks guys it was only first month of trying so shouldnt of got my hopes up really. Onwards and upwards.

No ducky I'm not on the trial. My cycle is usually between 22-26 days so it has been exceptionally short last 2 months.

Ah fil sounds lovely lulu make the most of it and relax.

Good luck this month bradders and all the others trying hope you get your bfps.

Cupcake92 · 09/08/2014 17:51

Thanks bradders and lulu he'll have a great bday :)

21 sorry to hear about AF!! :( :(

And Ducky that's mean of him!!! Ur pg!! He should help!!!
:( not nice for u to struggle!
My H (even tho I'd rather he not be that at all tbh!) is being effing HORRIBLE to me today!
I know it sounds horrible but I wish he'd cheat or do something that gives me a reason to kick him out. Cuz everytime Ive told him to leave he won't. I just want him gone. I can't do this anymore why do I always have to be spoken to like crap :( and treated like a slave! I asked him to buy DS some nappies and he said he couldn't afford them and that id have to buy them when I'm paid.
Then he said "I'm getting a Burger King" so I said "well u can't u have no money?" N he goes "I have money to treat myself what's ur problem"
He has money to eat shit but not get his son nappies?!?!?!? WTF?!?? I hate him so much! NONE of my ex's were horrible to me like this ever!

LuluJakey1 · 09/08/2014 17:56

Oh Cupcake- that is so horrible. He is just awful to do that. It should not even be a real question- will he buy nappies for DS. He should just do it. It is shocking behaviour.

Can you get DS some nappies? Have you got any?

Ducky23 · 09/08/2014 17:58

That's exactly like mine cupcake Hmm bloody horrible isn't it.

Really feel for you as I know exactly what your going through.

Have completely wiped myself out! Feet and ankles are throbbing and back is killing me! And I only got the bedroom and lounge some properly!

21questions · 09/08/2014 17:59

Cupcake thats really awful. He sounds very immature and you can make him leave if thats what you want.

Ducky23 · 09/08/2014 17:59

And the nappy thing is disgusting. He has money to feed himself crap but not get his son essentials?!?! What a knob.

Me624 · 09/08/2014 18:50

Aw 21 sorry AF got you. Hope your cycle sorts itself out soon and short cycles are better than long ones as you have less of a wait until you start trying again the next month!

Cupcake your DH sounds awful. If your ds needs nappies can you just go in his wallet when he's upstairs or something and take the cash out? If he confronts you, you can tell him what you've done and why you had to do it for your ds!

Cupcake92 · 09/08/2014 20:26

He is very immature. But he acts like such a saint Infront of his dad and everyone when actually he's not.
And I can't just make him leave it's not as easy as that :/

But yes DS has nappies just he's running low. I get paid Monday so will buy them then.

I've just been making my dinner and heard DS banging so came to see what's going on. DH hadn't been watching him. DS had a 5p coin in his mouth chewing it!!! I was so angry!!! He could have choked and died !!

I'm just so exhausted and tired today I just wanna go to bed with a cup of tea and relax.

Ducky I hope u get some rest too and put ur feet up

LuluJakey1 · 09/08/2014 22:16

I hope you didn't make him any tea Cupcake when you cooked yours.

Has he got DS a birthday present?

I really hope you get some sleep and have a lovely party for DS tomorrow.

Cupcake92 · 09/08/2014 22:32

Oh gosh no! I ate the lot haha. Regret doing that now tho as I feel quite queasy !

We both have gone halves on a trike for DS and a Minion picture for his bedroom.

Thanks lulu, I'm just making my cup of tea now and heading to bed to drink it. I can't wait!

LuluJakey1 · 09/08/2014 22:32

Conversation between us and PIL
MIL- When are you starting maternity leave Lulu?
Me - End of November hopefully.
MIL -You'll be looking forward to that by the time you get there. I couldn't wait.
DH - Yes, it'll be great. She'll be at home all day and will be able to be a Domestic Goddess. My tea'll be ready, the house will be spotless, all the ironing done.
MIL - Oh grow up DH - she'll have much more important things to do than pandering to you. You'll need to do more to help. I hope that comment was meant to be a joke.[She said it all quite sharply]
DH - Yes, yes of course it was.
Grin Go MIL !

Cupcake92 · 10/08/2014 07:56

Haha lulu! Ur MIL knows what she's talking about! Grin

I've woken up today feeling very weak and have no energy at all :( ahh pregnancy :p
Need to get started with the cleaning and sort the good out. Tho it's very wet here and cold. I don't think this is the best weather for a BBQ haha

Cupcake92 · 10/08/2014 07:56

The food out**
Silly auto correct!

Ducky23 · 10/08/2014 08:06

Oh no cupcake! It's raining here too! Have you got a back up plan? Hope you have a lovely day!

Siarie · 10/08/2014 08:16

cupcake you don't need that type of guy in your life right now, you don't need an excuse to tell him to leave. If you want him to go I think there are ways of getting him out!

On a more positive note I got my cross hairs this morning! Finally! My temp has been doing that slow rise staircase thing so it took double the amount of time to get FF to confirm. I'm feeling really relaxed about this cycle, I even drank yesterday as we were out with friends in a steakhouse restaurant.

Off out today for a day of sight seeing and fun, I love being busy as it makes the TWW go much easier xx

Siarie · 10/08/2014 08:19

Haha lulu! Your PIL and DH sound awesome x

LuluJakey1 · 10/08/2014 09:22

Cupcake- how is the birthday boy?
Happy Birthday Cupcake's DS! Give him a birthday cuddle from me. Cake Hope you have a lovely day and the weather improves.
It is nice here- warm and sunny but rain is forecast . It's the end of a hurricane isn't it?

Hopefully you are going to start and feel better soon- they say second trimester gives you lots of energy. I think that is true- it is for me.

I love it when MIL speaks to DH like that- he turns into a told off little boy. It is just a tone she can put in her voice with him. She was a teacher and was apparently very good at getting on with the 'naughty boys'. She always got the naughty boys GCSE class in Maths because they were so good with her and did well with her. DH falls for the tone in the voice every time. She often winks at me after she has used it.
