[Mittz]

Well, I'm just here for the banter and a chance to talk bollox, and we also do weight loss, WATER drinking (I'm the 'ficcial water monitor, and I have a badge), and heart to hearts..

I am the Mittz(not Mitts), I need to lose about 10lb, but get my head straight in the process..

I am sure one of my lovely companions will be along shortly......

Hello

Sorry, i am struggling to concentrate atm, please don't take it personally!

However, i will have a me me me rant

Kitchen should be finished monday (i wanted it to be done by today really) Shower is faulty so have to wait to hear from Victoria Plumb wrt them providing a new shower or paying for a stronger pump. I wanted all this done. My house is full of dust and everything is not where it should be DH thinks i have frustrated nesting instinct. I feel really hormonal and uncomfortable (i don't ever suffer with mood swings/hormonal rages) and I AM FED UP.

Sorry, as you were

Oh, yeah, and the only window where it would be convenient for me to have this baby would be sometime around christmas due to the renovation and DH's work.

Alice, NO apologies necessary lovey. I just wouldn't cope at all in your situation so rant, complain, have a hissy fit whatever, it is well well deserved.

Is your Dad close? could you stay with him for a couple of days just to take the pressure off?

Hey Mittz. It is fine really. Just with the house and everything, and people dumping more and more work on DH. He is having to do racecourse duty this evening which isn't a big deal, just means i have the horses to do by myself, get DD fed, bathed and bed by myself, all while carrying 3st extra and being 10times more tired and fed up Just feeling sorry for myself today

Morning all, rant sway Alice. It sounds frustrating, rest assured that even if baby did arrive now everything would fall into place and be fine. Bloody annoying not to have it all done though.

Morning mittz, glad you're feeling bright this morning. I love the idea of releasing the past in Chinese lanterns. It sounds like such a peaceful way to move on.

its so frustrating at this bit alice, really horrible i would like to report that our kitchen that was supposed to be finished when i was 3 months pregnant still isnt... so erm, it er gets easier. actually it does, you just learn to to not give a shit

last night was a nightmare. mole woke up at 9pm (from 8.45pm, nice) then at about 11pm she threw up everywhere and i mean everywhere. going to have to take up the carpet. has ruined sofa (again). thats now the 5th night in a row shes projectile vomited.

then she was up 3 times in the night screaming. then dd1 came in at 6am. i think dp and i are going to have breakdowns if this continues. will be starting the new regime the nurse gave us today so will see how that pans out.

Mouse - how the hell you cope with this all the time i really dont know what did they say about your video by the way? have they looked at it yet?

anyway, off to make a mermaid doll with dd1.

Fluff that sounds miserable, I'm so sorry your dd is suffering like this. I hope the new regime works.

Right I'd better go and do boring things. See you later

Morning, tis me, Mouseface.

Mittz - hello gorgeous, I hope that youare feeling a little less scrambled today.

Alice - I feel your pain. If I could show you me kitchen, I would. It's hell. Pure hell.

Fluffs - I'm tempted to say that this is maybe a bit more than reflux if she is 'projectile' vomiting. One thing that they always asked me about DS was "is it projectile?"

Now, she may have a bug or she may not, on top of reflux that is pure torture. Does the puke travel, in a straightish line out of her? Or is it that it comes out with force?

Also, what meds is she on for it? And what formula?

Talk to me Fluffs, I can help.

DS is no further along, next thing is a pH study. No idea when.

On a 'lighter' note......

I feel fab this morning, apart from my pain but in my mind, I'm raring to go!!!!!

Crunchy - sorry, I missed you out! How long until your hols? How are things?

Oh Fluffy, that is wearing and worrying. Poor wee mite. Hope between Mouse and the nurses you get some answers and respite.

Have a good day to all..will back this afternoon.. x

Mittz - how about the place you go to, your 'church'? Could you release things there?

Double - really? Have you had enough. I guess so if you want to leave.

My sis is waiting for a trransfer. She is in a tiny 2 bed house, and has 4 children under 10. (she has no idea what birth control is )

Anyway, she wants to leave because her XH is a twat and stalks her, as do his family but she wants to keep the DCs in their current school and be near to my folks.

A pretty impossible task. She won't live in certain areas either so she keeps getting put to the bottom of the list every time she refuses a place. I think it's done on a point system here.

?????? Not sure what that's about. Maybe so I get to see my name again!!!!!

SAF - morning lovely.

That's ok mouse

Well my kitchen is clean and sparkly. That's something at least. Dcs are all still in pjs, but I'm dressed at least!

We're off on Sunday! Woohoo! Two weeks of awayness. Just wish all this crap with h hadn't happened, as I really was looking forward to this holiday being a new beginning - he was going to move back in the weekend we got back. Instead it's a 'back to the beginning' holiday. Which doesn't sound quite as much fun. I don't want him in my bed, but we've booked family rooms. I might sleep with ds2 instead. But I want things to be as normal ass poss for the dcs.

Last night he asked if I was looking forward to going away, I said sort of but not nearly as much as I was. He replied that since we'd been chatting over the last few days and he stayed the night before (because he was ill) that everything was back to being fine between us.

I was a little

My feelings towards him have fundamentally changed. He's not the man I thought he was. I don't even know yet if he can be that man. I still don't know if I care one way or he other really. I have nightmares every night (not normal for me at all) and all of them are about obviously analagous monsters or h revealing more horrible secrets.

Sorry, didn't mean to go on like that.

My weight's exactly the same as last week too

Lovely poem id

Double - you are wonderful. Truly wonderful.

Cruchy - I know, I really know. You are grieving loss of the man you married. The man that you want H to be again.

There really is no time line to getting to where you want to be, where ever that is right now.

Just take it a day at a time. Don't over think this.

Go on holiday and just relax. No promises from EITHER of you.

Just 'be' for a while.
