Well, no, I have been to the other side to report on vegetable consumption and give some bottom advice.

Oh god 100x was right. [sap / twat]

TooTicky · 12/05/2008 17:46

I just went for the one with the most messages because I thought it was the place to be

Fullmoonfiend · 12/05/2008 17:55

oh MrsC, I was distracted by Bellowhead and didn't see your news!
That must be such a relief
xxxxxxx

IdrisTheDragon · 12/05/2008 18:10

Does this thread have vegetables on it or is it the other one?

Probably the other one.

stuffitllama · 12/05/2008 18:28

I'm on here now and am in ADD mode so can't possibly move or will drift aimlessly and miss next sensible thread

Mrs C I am so very delighted for you (and so is my dh who I told straight away!) no thinking of what might have been, it was the right thing for you. What a fantastic relief.

zippi are you ok are you still mulling

potential for paranoia here if one arrives and everyone deserts to kale

i don't really get the kale title

oh my dear lord

think i'm going to go away for ever now

UnderRated · 12/05/2008 18:45

MrsC What WONDERFUL news. I am sooo glad to here you are ok.

The DO Nothing School of Parenting worked well for me with potty training.

Avi, I'm sure a small white lie is ok...

I would love to have singing lessons, Bero.I think it's important to try and do something just for yourslef.

Zippi, are you ok?

Two threads is too much for me.

zippitippitoes · 12/05/2008 18:57

thanks yes im ok just not sure whether i am making a right cock up

UnderRated · 12/05/2008 19:05

My life is one big cock-up, zippi

berolina · 12/05/2008 19:54

Great news, MrsC

Zippi? Anything we can help with?

Oh dear UR - are you ? (sorry, can't think of anything to say to make you feel better)

Thank you for all sympathies. My dearest friend I see regularly, about every 3 months or so - we go there or she comes here. Gosh I really miss her. The others less often, but they are descending at the weekend for ds2's christening. Going to England = my parents atm - those who know the background will know why I need to focus on building that up - lus research, although we are having a holiday in Devon next month and I have threatened Greeny with a visit.

3rd consecutive day of F&V crapness here.

UnderRated · 12/05/2008 19:59

Just feeling sorry for myself and a bit hopeless, Berolina. Nothing new. Hope your weekend is a good one. I don't know the background but I know that visits with parents are not always easy.

Hope things look up soon.

F&V: split pea soup, 3 raisins

stuffitllama · 12/05/2008 20:50

UR argh at feeling low. Is it anyting specific

pinkspottywellies · 12/05/2008 21:03

I don't like it. I haven't even got time to read this thread properly and it's in the back of my mind that I'm ignoring the other one and I don't know what to do

UnderRated · 12/05/2008 21:10

We're on the other one, Pink.

Nothing specific, Stuffit. Or lots of specific things. Not sure. Just life, I guess.

stuffitllama · 12/05/2008 23:08

ur have been ironing.
sending v v good vibes. felt vaguish low myself a couple of days ago, know what it's like.. hoep you feel better in the morning x

BBBee · 12/05/2008 23:45

look the other thread is covered with poo.

you must all stay here.

I went there by mistake, I began to skim and then began to cry.

UnderRated · 13/05/2008 05:01

Shhhh, it's ok BBBee. There there

FrannyandZooey · 13/05/2008 12:00

there is a lot of moaning about the two threads
I thought you would all be pleased about having a poo and a non poo thread tbh
shall we amalgamate again shortly or do you think the schism is permanent?

OP posts:
stuffitllama · 13/05/2008 12:10

oh no can't have schism surely you would have to divorce or behead us

good luck with nappies be decisive

MrsCarrot · 13/05/2008 12:12

Yes, stop moaning everyone, here or there or both.

I don't think it's permanent is it, Franny? The poo phobes can ignore the bum banter and the the smokers can sit near the window, no?

FrannyandZooey · 13/05/2008 12:13

well I thought temporary then thought perhaps everyone was so pissed off about me starting two threads that they would want their own thread next week just so they could avoid me

just checking

how's things today MrsC?

OP posts:
MrsCarrot · 13/05/2008 12:18

not too bad, getting tired with visitors which sounds horrible of me, people are being so kind but there's only so many times you want to run through what happened.

Maybe I should do a little recording and then when people sit next to me in the garden I can switch it on and smile every so often while I read my book.

FrannyandZooey · 13/05/2008 12:21

LOL oh yes do! or get TooT to print you a t-shirt printed with the answers to the most frequent and predictable questions

(I am considering getting one done with "July 4th. Yes, I am REALLY BIG aren't I" on)

how lovely lots of people want to come and see you but it does sound extremely wearing
can dh step in and turf them out?

OP posts:
MrsCarrot · 13/05/2008 12:27

he wanted to get a t-shirt to wear to school saying, 'she's fine thanks'. Now he sits on a bench and looks intently into the butterfly garden.

It's not a case of turfing people out as such, just some are persistent and eventually you say, yes, pop in Tuesday or whatever. I am good at looking tired suddenly though, the head lolls to one side and then you pop up and say, ooh, sorry, drifted off then. People come and say they won't stay long but then they do, unless, when they say, I'll go in a minute, waiting for you to reply, oh, no stay a bit but you say, ok, nice to see you.

I am surprised I have any friends really! I will want to see people more when DH is back working I think. Now I feel contemplative and quiet. My mother is coming after lunch. Thats always interesting.
