bellavita · 14/09/2008 22:17

I take it L knows?

CvQ · 14/09/2008 22:24

yeah she knows.weve talked about it already.and i think this will be good for me and help me overcome some stuff.there will be lots of people there and i do want to do it and she wouldnt make me do it if i felt uncomfortable at any point.
this is giving me a goal!

bellavita · 14/09/2008 22:28

It is good she knows and is aware so that at any time you feel uncomfortable you can move away and have a bit of space without her thinking anything of it.

Wow, some goal which I am in no doubt you will achieve.

So, when is the "do" then?

CvQ · 14/09/2008 22:32

CvQ - I like both of those songs

CvQ · 14/09/2008 22:54

ooh mnp helloand goodnight!
safe journey and we can catch up properly when your back in old blighty!!

thumbwitch · 14/09/2008 22:59

hi CvQ and whoever else is here
CvQ - so glad you have had a good day, the cathartic outpourings of the last couple of days have obviously purged you somewhat!
Lovely to see you smiley again.

My DS is a bit of a bully at the mo too but only to me and DH - he thinks it's SUCH fun to pull our hair and glasses and noses etc, and smiles widely the more we wince and squeak! I m trying to get him to crawl but he is refusing totally and cries whenever I put him into the crawl position - he just wants to walk but my osteo has pointed out the disadvantages to that and I have to say, I have always had a bad back from a young age and I never crawled, only bumshuffled, so I don't want the same for DS.

Sweet dreams and hopefully we will speak tomorrow, I am out and about just doing little things - popping to the post office, bank, taking a school jumper back to the suppliers.

bellavita · 14/09/2008 23:08

CvQ · 14/09/2008 23:09

CvQ · 14/09/2008 23:10

thumbwitch · 14/09/2008 23:25

CvQ · 14/09/2008 23:54

what lumps of ginger?ive not heard of that but it sounds lovely.
choc raisins are all gone now aswell.just as well because js up

thumbwitch · 15/09/2008 00:03

yep, lumps of crystallised ginger coated in lush dark chocolate - mmmmmmmmmmmm.

I have had an interesting day trying to re-regulate DS's "routine" after yesterday's excitement - poor little lamb, he was so tired! We made the mistake of having a "nap" at around 3:45pm and not waking up until 6:30pm; consequently he didn't want to go to sleep this eve until about 10:30pm. Hope he sleeps for another couple of hours before he wakes up again (another 6 would be great!!)

Are you finding it easier to re-settle j now?
