Ei is the new name meant to tell us something?? Are you smiling for a reason lovely lady? Keeping everything crossed for you!
Fruity am VERY impressed by your achievements! In fact suspect you've achieved more with 2 children to look after than I have today with none! Though I have conducted some in depth research into cot mattresses, so not completely idle...
Quick rant before DH comes back. We went to visit friends for the weekend who are just finishing renovating their house. When we see people like that it always spurs me on to get on with our place. So. One of the things we needed to do was buy a book case, currently the books have been on a crappy set of argos shelves in what will (hopefully) be the nursery, so before we can get the nursery sorted we need to get the books shifted (following so far? ) So I told DH I was going to look online at ikea on monday night to see what they had with a view to buying some on monday. Had a look and made a short list. Showed DH and the ones he liked were either a) too big or b) horrible when I actually saw them in store - why does crap wood never look that crap on the website? So. Bought some. VERY pleased with myself, managed to get people to help me get them onto the trolley and then into the car. Felt like I'd achieved something. Brought them home. DH put them together last night (didn't give him much choice!) He announced when he was half way through that he didn't lilke them I asked why? Because they're white. It was obvious they were white from the moment he opened the box, why go on putting them up and slit the box up if he had such a fundamental dislike of them. He then came up with a fair few more objections while he finished putting them up. I know they're not ideal, but I also know they're not a priority in terms of spending, I knw what he would have liked and we can't afford it. I also know who would have had to trawl round looking for alternatives. Me. Not doing it. So having lugged all the books downstairs to load into them he says he's not happy and thinks we should think about putting them somewhere else. Fine. Then he says he's going to bed. Fine. But what's really p*ssed me off is that when I tried to talk to him tonight about where to move them to he wants to "just live with it for a while" - just live with books all over the sitting room floor and crap everywhere. I blame the nesting instinct, but I REALLY want to get this place together. I said ok, can we do it by friday as we have people coming. He said what's the hurry, we're eating at the pub anyway So how long do I leave it ladies??
And can you believe how long I have ranted on about something so insignificant/dull?? Sorry! I blame the hormones
Has anyone heard from Cricri lately? I'd text her but I don't have her no, was a bit concerned she hasn't been on since teehee popped... Hopefully she's just busy. Or on holiday?
Bella really hope that your GP can start to give you the support you need at your appointment, and that your crap plasterers pull their collective fingers out! You and Georgie will have to compare crap builder stories at the meet up! I can sympathise with the wanting to get the nursery organised feeling. What have you picked out? I don't know quite what to do with ours. The walls are currently a very pretty pale blue/grey colour which I really like but I think if LO is a girl she'll need some pink in there so it doesn't look like we were hoping for a boy! But on the other hand I don't want to go and buy a load of pink stuff and have curtains made (haven't seen any ready made ones I like yet and my mum has volunteered) only to find out she's a he! (Do you like the positive thinking? Am trying to convince myself that's the only reason for not buying things! )
So far I have found this lamp and the fairies lampshade and this fabric (though that is a rubbish picture of it, even the darker spots are far more pink than red) and this rug (though I don't imagine we'll bother with a rug) that I like...
Mollie how you doing my love?
Sparkly am so pleased you'e managed to get a scan for friday, for me it's the waiting that is the most tortuous. Everything crossed for you too. Really glad DD's kidney scan went well xx
