On a LIGHTER note...

[BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger]

Hello, I'm Bitter and I have lost around two stone, have another 4 or 5 pounds to go.

Come for the healthy eating, stay for the chat. We do more of the latter than the former!

Well, lets keep a balance here, if anyone is into toe sucking they're likely to end up with one on my toe-nails stuck in between their teeth so Hey ho Mouse xx

Bitter - I will sulk with you.

For about a nano second! I don't do sulking in RL. Used to as a teenager. I could sulk for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssss

Hello all :)

can i have a rant to break up your pukefest please??

mole slept for 20 mins this morning was evil before and after. Was an angel when my friend was here (but her toddler wasn't so had her crying etc), minute they left went back to evil, she has had 10 mins of sleep this pm and the rest has been crying/whining/screaming.

Tried shushing her, rocking, rocking her in pram, lullabies, tv, food nothing would make her go back to sleep (she woke up because i coughed).

my nerves are shot and dp is going to help his friend fix his central heating later. Im telling him hes taking the baby with him or he can fuck off.

as you were x

Sorry to heat mole's giving you a hard time Brian. Hope you get some peace.

Bloody Hell Brian, you must be on the edge. Seriously wish I could give you a break, it is trying beyond belief. Can your Mum and Dad help? I know things can be tricky with them but crying babies on that level can do things to your head.

Will DP take her? She might settle just because it is strange and new (DS was like that), and you must be at the end of your tether.

Brian, there is nothing that grates on your nerves like a screaming baby. Can you put her in her cot for 10 minutes then go in the garden for a fag cup of tea?

I need to sort dinner and get ready for work.

Catch you later lovelies, hope Mole finally gets some sleep for you Brian x

Brian.

I hear you. So sorry that Mole is still so very unsettled. Can you take her out for a walk in the pram/pushchair to see if she'll go off?

I wish there was something I could tell you that would make this all go away.

Massive hugs to you and her. xxx

Re DP - I think it would be wise for him to give you a break. You have been doing this all day.

It's a good job you don't drink.

thanks everyone, think am just feeling low because of having a bastard cold. Normally parents would have her for me but they've fucked off to spend my inheritance on a bloody cruise (4th time in 18 months the buggers )

Mouse I've told dp (who also has the cold) that hes dead if he doesnt make her stop crying. God BA on that other thread is doing my head in too.

After that hospital trip he believes me.

Right am off to do homework and bedtimes.

Bitter NO FAIL!!!!!

BA well and truly hijacked the point of it. Sad that the focus was taken away from the bloody point of it all!

Brian are you feeling a bit low because of that thread too? Can't be easy. You and mouse are so good for reliving things to help others. But it cant be easy x

Uno - yeah probably a bit, got a bit irrationally annoyed at dp last night.

double - sounds fab. I still don't get where you're irish from? (Ireland yeah ha ha) as in is it your mum and dad?

Sounds good ID. I did a module in Irish lit way back when. 'twas great.

Brian, I'm not surprised. Don't be hard on yourself. It's hard dealing with flashbacky feelings. Throw in a stressful day and I can't imagine anyone feeling good.

double - no idea what you're on about, its the oirish in you i reckon

God Seamus Fucking Heaney (?) Digging is all I remember

I hate colds.

OK so is it you are having moral dilemmas about how much of your family members' own experiences relevant to folklore to disclose in class/classwork?

tc is our translator I just thought she'd been drinking.

God im always lowering the tone
