Morning everyone. A super quick post as I have a course this morning (all week in fact) and need to get ready.

Fruity Nauseous! MS! I really hope you're not too badly affected, lady. Is it sick that I am a tiny bit ? Don't answer that!

Ei Sounds like you had a lovely weekend. Hope the sunburn isn't too bad!

Emmsy Nothing wrong in being comfortable Although with my (.)(.) I'd look ridiculous in dungarees!

Sparkly Well done your DH doing a 10k in this heat(!)

Mollie Hope you're feeling good this morning.

TeeHee Your DH sounds adorable! What a lovely guy to make you a treasure hunt!

Scully You went to a chocolate festival!! I am very !

HTGG Hope you're having a fab time in Turkey!

Emmsy1 · 28/07/2008 07:25

Morning girls, looks like were in for another lovely day It turned out really hot yesterday, decided to sort the front garden out, as hedges and bushes hadn't been trimmed since last year! The children all helped me as there were alot of leaves to pick up once I chopped them down. I too am a little sun burnt, as didn't think it would take as long as it did. I am pale and freckly usually so catch the sun quite easily. Children have nagged me to take them to the beach today, they love to take their spades and dig for hours.
Were going to West Kirby as it's only a 10 min drive, not going until after lunch as have to ring for my blood results at approx 11am. Must try to get to bed early tonight as have to drop children off at sisters in the morning at 5.45am before wonderful journey to Derbyshire to pick up brother. Ei we go to the caravan on Saturday for 2 weeks, wasn't looking forward to it until trouble with next door, now can't wait!

Sparkly08 · 28/07/2008 08:34

Morning all,
Looks like it's going to be a gorgeous day here again. DP is still in bed . He said he didn't sleep well last night. Not sure what we are going to do today. Maybe a trip to see the MIL and then an afternoon at the beach (just like you Emmsy).
Can you all have a peek at my chart if you get the chance. Do you think FF is right in thinking I ovulate on CD18?
Emmsy [grr] at your early drive! You shouldn't have to do it. Let us know how your blood results are. Well done for posting links .
Tee I could do with a new phone but have to wait until November for an upgrade. Mine has been dropped too many times... Your DO sounds lovely btw. You're a very lucky girl.
Scully Sounds like you've been really busy. I can't wait to see Mama Mia. We may go on Weds. Fingers crossed you've managed to catch the egg.
Fruity at your childfree Saturday . How are you feeling?
Mollie Well done for taking it easy this weekend. Are you back to work today?
Ei Hope the sunburn gets better very soon.

FruitynNutty · 28/07/2008 09:27

Morning everyone

I feel like crap this morning but only cos DP is being a moody git and upset me last night so I've got a headache and puffy eyes
He thinks his life is moving too fast. Someone please then tell me why he proposed to me and agreed to try for a baby?
The only time he's been happy was when his parents were over. Now they've gone back to Spain he's miserable. He doesn't ever look at me or try and make conversation. I have to ask him if he loves me and for a cuddle. I really miss how he used to be. He used to tell me all the time he loved me and used to cuddle me without me asking and just be really good fun.
He's been criticising what I do around the house (obviously I sit on my arse all day long) I wish I'd known what a neanderthal he was going to turn into
Do you ever feel like you've made the wrong choice but can't turn back?

Sorry, needed a rant.

QueenyEisGotTheBall · 28/07/2008 09:37

morning ladies
fruity so that you have had trouble with your DH i sometime think like that when things are bad between me and DH as i smetimes feel like things would be easier without the complication relationships bring. then i think about living without him and cant even fathom the thought. it might be a good idea to tell him how you are feeling as sometimes men need the obvious spellin g out to them i have found {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}
hi to everyone else
my temp was quite high for me his m orning do you think it might be me oving or caused y my tossing and turning all ight with my sunburn?? i hope its ov as me and DH have timed it perfectly if it is
il speak later when i have woken myself up
xx ei xx

Emmsy1 · 28/07/2008 10:11

Sorry DP is being a git fruity, it's a pity you couldn't have a few days away from him, just to make hime realize how much he does really love you. Remember you don't have to Marry him if he doesn't change his ways. It may be that he is a little down because he is sad that his parents have gone back to Spain, and you are the only one he can take it out on. He shouldn't take it out on you, your hormones are all over the place, and stress isn't good for you at this early stage. I thought that your lovely day out together would have re-kindled your love. Typical bloody selfish man!!
(I only started to live with my DH when we were on to child No3, thats when we got married, don't rush into the big commitment if he keeps acting like a t**t)xxxx

Sparkly08 · 28/07/2008 10:53

Fruity I'm sorry you're feeling down. I can relate to everything you're saying. I'd give anything for that rush of love in the early days when men want to impress you, spoil you and love you...Your DP is being insensitive though and should realise that you don't need the stress at this point in your pregnancy. I'm sure he's really happy with the way life is but doesn't express it in the right way. It sounds like the 2 of you had a fab weekend together so there is still a lot between you. Chin up chick. xxx

MollieMooma · 28/07/2008 15:03

Emmsy Can't wait to see some pics Hope your having a lovely time at the beach.
EI How is the sunburn? Sounds like you had a lovely weekend. Hope you have OV'd and that you've caught the egg
Yarnie Good luck with your course hun xx
Sparkly Hope your having fun at the beach too. Very of you all being a) so close to the beach and b) being able to go. I'm stuck at work so bloody hot, no a/c no fans, no draughts, it is so not helping my tiredness
Fruity So sorry hun that things aren't good for you at the moment. it's probably made worse by the fact that you had such a lovely time at the weekend together just the two of you, then when they are twats it seems loads worse. Does he respond well if you talk, tell him how your feeling. All those raging hormones don't help either do they? Don't feel trapped though hun, there is no situation you can't get out of. Shall I come round and kick him up the arse?

Hi to everyone else

FruitynNutty · 28/07/2008 15:15

Thanks everyone.
No I can't talk to him as he usually has something far more clever as a response. He has apologised for upsetting me by text but I haven't responded yet.
I'm just sick of the same old argument time nd time again. Whenever he's down he blames me by saying I take him for granted and he works so hard. Of course I don't work hard . In fact my job isn't really a job and as I'm at home all day I should take the role of a housewife If I didn't have children to entertain all day perhaps I could! When this stupid EYFS crap comes in I won't even have time to entertain the children never mind the housework . You'd think he was an old man with these "new" values of his but he;s only 27 FFS!
Also he doesn't seem to understand that my job starts at 6:15am when DS wakes to 7:30/8pm when he goes to sleep and that includes the weekends. I don't get paid for working weekends do I I just don't know what to do. He's said sorry but this'll all erupt again when he feels like it. It's just crap.
I'd love to be like those couples that can get excited together about pregnancy and marriage. I'm desperate for that You'd think this pregnancy wasn't planned the way he's carrying on.

Anyway, I better go an do some more (not) work

MollieMooma · 28/07/2008 15:36

If you can't talk to him, can you write him a letter, put down what you've told us, that way he can't put you down with clever words? I don't know if it will work, just an idea. So sorry that your feeling this way, when like you say you should be happy and excited. Maybe you should take a day off at the weekend and let him look after DS totally 24/7 might make him realise your not sat on your backside doing nothing!

teeheelaydee · 28/07/2008 15:50

Wow - everyone really busy last couple of days, where to start.

fruity that you are fed up. My DP has been really sweet recently but we have just come out of a really rough time. When we were going through m/c's we didn't really support each other just went through it alone so IKWYM when you say sometimes you wonder if you are in the right place. It sounds like you enjoy each others company after your day out though. Men are generally rubbish at talking and even arguing. A friend of mine who has just had her first, found that when she got pg her DH was a nightmare, out all night, getting pissed, not wanting to work (he's s/emp) and generally being a big kid. He was fine by the time their DD arrived.

In the past DP and I have gone out for a meal to talk about issues (you can't shout in a restaurant), maybe that's worth a try if he won't try. Have you told him you are sick of having the same row and you want to sort it.(Mind you we have about 3 rows and just replay them!)

Mollie lol at list of jobs for DH, glad i'm not the only one, how did he get on? Was his work and attitude up to standard?

emmsy/scully/ei You all sound like you had lovely weekend, sun just mades everything nicer Oh and emmsy - with your brood and dungarees and hedge cutting it sounds like The Waltons ! Well done for getting out in your garden despite the fishwife next door.

I also soaked up the sun yesterday, had to try and position the sunlounger so I wasn't looking at the pile of crap left from our kitchen re-do (Yes ladies my DP is v/sweet but will he go to the tip or trim the hedge - will he heck!- Ah you can't have it all)

ei Fingers crossed for you - symptom spotting here you come!

MollieMooma · 28/07/2008 16:14

Teehee Work was up to scratch but one job sort of led to whole remodel of the front garden so out of 9/10 jobs he did one and got really sunburnt I enjoyed lying on the sofa napping though
