He looks nice Smile Why did mind never do that?

Wolfcub · 20/04/2018 11:11

Ah ds looks so cute and content Em
I love a list too Wheely, must make one
I’ve taken my wedding and engagement rings off. This feels like a step. Told my mum yesterday that I was going to file for divorce after she asked me what we were doing abut dh’s birthday. I can’t believ all this has happened in 11 days!

My ds spent the whole of lunchtime in floods of tears today because of friend trouble in the playground. It was sad, but also a bit of a transformation as his usual mildly-ASD style of talking went away and he talked properly to me. Feels a bit like two steps forward and only one back, which on balance, is a good thing I think.

Oooo! I'm trying out the pelvic floor zapper gadget and it's exactly like having a whole team of people drum on my rear with wooden spoons. Who knew?

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 20/04/2018 14:44

Love 10 things I hate about you haven't watched that film in ages!

Nsd today... loving the sunshine but v glad it's the weekend! Large group of preschoolers + sudden sunshine = irritable preschoolers and worn out me 😂

ememem84 · 20/04/2018 15:45

born 10 things I hate about you. It is one of my faves. That and clueless. And mean girls.

Ds and I have been for lunch by the sea with ddad. £13.50 for a sparkling water, a Fanta, two brown bread crab sandwiches, bowl of chips. Yum. Ds had sweet potato and some veggie sticks to chew on.

We then went to look at the sea. Ds was interested. It was the first time hes seen the sea close up.

Then onto local Manor House. £40 membership for the year for dh and I. Ddad came in for free on membership ds is free until he’s 12. It’s usually cost 9.95 per adult so one of us needs to go 4 times and we’ve made our money back. Discovered the cafe there is great (homemade lavender lemonade and scones the size of my head!) they do breakfasts too. So well definetly get our moneys worth.

Home Now. Ds is rolling about the living room floor sans nappy (he’s on a lot of towels!) he’s got a bit of a red bum so am letting him air it!

LonelyOversharer · 20/04/2018 15:58

He will love that em and the best thing I think for sore bottoms. Teething? Mine always got nappy rash when cutting teeth.

I have been at my sisters icing cakes all day. Very pleased with the results, but I was worn out at the end. Will potter about in the garden soon for a bit, too nice a day not to be.

Nsd which is a bonus.

ememem84 · 20/04/2018 16:03

Possibly lonely although he didn’t get sore last time. Do they get different “symptoms” each time with teething?

I suspect it’s something to do with the heat though.

He’s rolling around on the towel singing to himself. I think he’s enjoyig the freedom!!!!

Dh hath decreed that ds shalt not go nappy free in public. Or on the beach. I am in agreement with this.

scattyspice · 20/04/2018 16:22

Spends today : tea with friend 2.30, lidl 85, soaps 6.

Spent half the day sitting in the garden 🌞

Wolf and wheely both have a lot going on, hope you have plenty of support 💐

Fluffycloudland77 · 20/04/2018 17:56

NSD

Fluffycloudland77 · 20/04/2018 18:13

Fatface stuff lasts though and I think if you can afford it then do it, rather than buying cheaper that won’t last.

wolf My friend had hers made into a pendant but they never actually married (still think he was secretly gay).

WreckTangled · 20/04/2018 18:17

Laska5772 · 20/04/2018 18:51

Haha ... great photo , Wreck but where are you? t you'd have to be in the New Forest to see me.. I am on the far west side ..

Laska5772 · 20/04/2018 18:53

WreckTangled · 20/04/2018 18:55

SunnyLikeThursday · 20/04/2018 19:15

We're still out in the garden too. It's lovely out there. We have the bubble wand out.

Wolfcub · 20/04/2018 19:22

I’m going for a pint whilst ds is at an activity. According to the sw dh was an uncooperative ass today. According to Royal Mail he also received the letter. Balls to it it’s sunny and lovely and let’s make the most of it whilst it lasts.

SunnyLikeThursday · 20/04/2018 19:59

Well done Wolf. Good to enjoy the sunshine.

I am feeling moderately pleased with myself because I have added kale and now tentatively vitamin D to my diet and the graph from diet analysis software says that I rock. Yay!
