Sent you a CAT, mm

Dd's still coughing , gonna go down and sleep in her room so I can keep a better ear out for her breathing.

See you all in the morning!

Have a voddy for me, cc. I've been 'downing' my chocolate liquers, saddo that I am.

bluemoon · 03/12/2004 22:28

Minkmamma, that's SO nice of you thanks. I'll pay you for the oils of course. I don't think I ever emailed you before. I think there's a poster somewhere here with the nickname blue but that's not me, it would be if they hadn't got there first. My real surname is Blue, Anglicised version of German-Jewish Blumenfeld (blooming field), changed during WW2.

I think 4 weeks is too long as well. Dp and I have just been talking about it. When dd was 1 she was diagnosed as being asthmatic and given an inhaler. She's had 2 asthma attacks in the past, both associated with contact with MIL's very massive, slobbery, hairy dogs. But since November 03 she's been fine.

I've been hormonal too cc, that's mostly the reason for my horrible behaviour and weepiness all day today. I was even snivveling over one of dd's bedtime stories tonight ...

JennisaurusUnderTheMistletoe · 03/12/2004 23:13

4 again today grrrrr. I told DH and he does not even care, I KNOW he isn't giving up anytime soon. Stupid bloody men. Bought me some fags as well today. Why do I bother?

Do you like my new Christmas name

merryminkmama · 03/12/2004 23:37

JSUTM, that is quite possibly the longest name on mnet

it's so hard when people don't support you isn't it? i mean, it's hard enough as it is and then someone goes and gets you a packet...arrgghhh!

do this: if you get a packet pour water/oil on it and throw it in the bin immediately! it's much harder to go out and get a packet than have one lurking around the house with what you think is your name on it!

don't worry about the few you've had, the point is that you are quitting and your mind is in the right place. keep up with the trying...we've all had our moments here.

bluemoon, yes it was you, i've just checked my mails! and the funny thing is that when we were talking about names yesterday, i was going to say that i liked the name 'strangerthanfiction'

am off to bed now, sorry JSUTM but i'm shattered!

night night xx

Festivepussy · 04/12/2004 10:23

Yeah, drowning fags is the only way, im afraid to say when I am feeling weak I try to stay out of dps way and my mums too as you cant really hold a conversation when all you can focus on is the smoke in thier hands...your fighting a demon and its not easy when its in your face all the time.
I drown any fags I find when im alone, just in case the just one monster bites me.
Whos all ready for Xmas then?

bluemoon · 04/12/2004 12:27

Urg ... had another VERY restless night with dd coughing for hours on and off. I've given her an inhaler before her nap today and am going to see if it helps or not. It won't do any harm anyway.

Yes, Mm, I'd forgotten my old name! It was a good one. I had another one before that too but got into big trouble with GF. Did any of you read that awful thread started by GF herself a good few months ago now? AGH!!!

So what you all up to today? I took dd to the shops and park this morning, she's asleep now and hopefully so will I be in a minute or two and then we're going to visit a playmate for a couple of hours this afternoon all being well. Dp's working from home so I don't feel like quite such a weekend widow as I do normally!

bluemoon · 04/12/2004 12:28

p.s. I'm sorry about all those stuttering posts from last night. I've no idea how or why that happens ...

merryminkmama · 04/12/2004 12:35

i've got most of the pressies, the 'important' ones anyway. we're putting up the tree today and then i'll be able to wrap all the presents and clear the place up a bit! there are loads of plastic bags stuffed with people's gifts all over hte place!!

BM, who is GF? no i didn't read that thread - oh was it about circumcision? i read that one!

bluemoon · 04/12/2004 12:47

Blimey, I must remember to get a tree!

GF is an 'important' child book guru. I'm too paranoid to write her name in full. The initials of her famous book are 'cclbb'

bluemoon · 04/12/2004 12:48

Or rather, clbb.

bluemoon · 04/12/2004 12:48

I'm off to bed, my eyes are drooping. No coughing from dd so far so good!!

Festivepussy · 04/12/2004 14:04

Gina Ford...I read it...how did you get into trouble??? Intrigued!!
We are putting up the tree today too MM...well once ive cleared a space for it..
Have just finished Wonderboy. Excellent FG, I couldnt read quick enough for the last 30 pages or so to get to the end!
So I have never quite got to the bottom of this...is this the book you went off for the weekend to write while me and MM rattled on here...the one that was done for January or is that one your doing now and this is an earlier one? Me and MM have both asked that B4 I know. Sorry!
Anyway, it was great Tod is just like my dd, is he based on any of your kids?
Bizarre ideas you have for story lines too...is that based on anything real or all in your imagination? Love it please quickly write another

merryminkmama · 04/12/2004 14:23

she came on mnet? wow. what did she have to say...yes i am intrigued as well, what did you say?!!!

Festivepussy · 04/12/2004 15:42

Well someone saying they were GF opened up a thread saying someone on Mn had said something hoorid about Her family and someting horrid was gonna happen to them....

JennisaurusUnderTheMistletoe · 04/12/2004 16:03

I only had 1 today and it was an icky menthol one from a friend.

I never used to smoke DHs fags, but he changed brand recently and I like them, so now the fags around the house are the ones I would buy!
I binned the ones he bought me though

merryminkmama · 04/12/2004 16:57

good girl JSUTM, now you just have to do the same with the ones you like!

Poor you BM, do you know her personally?

I see things getting heated on certain threads and almost feel as if i should not read in case someone decides to attack me!! I've only been on mnet for not even a year i think, and since the boys are still so young, i don't have much time to scan threads other than the ones i'm on so i miss a fair bit.

how long have you all been on here?

JSUTM, tell us a bit about yourself!

bluemoon · 04/12/2004 21:25

Well, I can't really go into it to be honest. Basically I made a jokey comment on a thread months before and she, who was in fact regularly posting on here for ages before, came across it and threatened me in a rather insane way! The thread was somewhat incredible and it wasn't completely sure it was her but the MN team assured me it was, i made a formal apology and it all disappeared. Or at least I hope so, it was really stressful at the time.

I think I've been posting here for about 12 months maybe? How about everyone else?

Have you all had good smoke-free days?

merryminkmama · 04/12/2004 21:32

just a quick 'hello' as i'm off downstairs to watch 'harry potter' sans kids

it's really quiet here tonight!

am fine BM, how was your day?

bluemoon · 04/12/2004 21:56

Yes, it IS quiet tonight. I think I'm just going to sign off as I'm also very tired due to coughing dd last night. Tonight I'm hoping for a tad more peace and quiet ...

Hey FG, FP talking about your book reminded me ... did you ever find a copy for little me?

merryminkmama · 04/12/2004 23:14

how did you keep a straight face when i asked whether or not you'd read the potty training book ?

right off to bed...didn't finish the film as i was falling asleep in the end!

night night xx

JennisaurusUnderTheMistletoe · 04/12/2004 23:19

I have been here since January.

About me I am married with one DD who is one and rather lovely. I work as a HCA at a hospital (full time) and DH also works full time. We live away from our families as well which is nice sometimes, but stressful other times! I'm not very exciting really.
