dcs beds???

Welcome back JKS although I haven't been about much hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I did on holiday
we are already planning to go back next year

Um well afterwards there was more hugging(but no snogging). Snog would have been a proper snog had ds not come in asking me to take him for a poo. Didn't really discuss it, we were both a bit shocked/flustered I think. When he left he kissed me on the lips. Sent him a text saying sorry, he also said sorry and told me not to feel bad. He has sent me messages with lots of kisses on since.

But earlier on that day he'd been talking about buying a dishwasher for their place and also saying it was too small for all of tem when his kids are there but that in 2 years he will have paid off his business loan and will be able to get a mortgage (presumably with her). So clearly no intentions of splitting up with her.

sounds like he really likes you,
hope hes not a baddin and wants his cake and eat it too!!

He tells me that he really likes me. If I don't contact him for a couple of days he says he misses me. I don't think he is just looking for extra curricular activites because he could've got it by easier means that spending all these hours with me. What I think is that he is attracted to me and does like me (and so gets tempted) but because he is with his gf and cares about her he will stick with her and try to do the right thing. Also the cynical side says he knows his bread is more buttered with her...I do agree with his nan he shouldn't have rushed things with gf so much because he went straight from ex to her but it's not really any of my business, just think he'd have done better to spend some time on his own before getting seriously involved again.

Anyway! Life goes on...

And obviously I don't like to admit it but he must be in love with her else he wouldn't have moved in/be buying stuff for the house/be talking about a future with her.

And I am just a temptation

Oh Freaky! Of course we still love you.

BUT

Don't let him make a mug out of you. If he is going to be all kisses etc in texts and be snogging you then he needs to finish things with his gf. If he is a bad'un then you don't want him anyway so you've nothing to lose by telling him that.

Hi JKS, glad you had a lovely time! I feel so much better than I did with DS, spent a month in bed vomiting every few minutes when I was expecting him, grim.

I know ali...
I am trying to ignore that he gives the best hugs in the world ever and is generally lovely and the dc love him and he loves them and that he is fit and focus on the negatives
a)he nearly cheated on gf with me
b)he should have stayed single for a while so he could have got it on with me
c)I wouldn't fully trust him
d)he doesn't want more babies
e)he doesn't like marmite
f)he doesn't like wine
g) he doesn't like olives
h)he eats too much fast food
i)) he has an ugly bulldog tattoo
j)he encourages me to buy biscuits
k)he sometimes smokes
l)he is possibly a bit too tall for, er, relations to be comfortable
m)he is blond
n)he once called me hun in a text
o)he doesn't punctuate texts much
p)he gets your/you're mixed up
q)he is younger than me
r)he has nicer clothes than me
s)he supports man u
t)his trainers smell
u)he has the tv really loud
v)he used my bath towel to dry his hands rather than the hand towel
w) dd says his hair is too spiky
x)he goes into tv trance and you have to poke him to get his attention
y) he has a tiny pencil willy
z) he is shit at sex

(ok I have made the last two up, but it helps to believe them )

Seriously though, he doesn't seem to have a very firm moral compass - and no that isn't a euphemism! Like you say you could never trust him.

You are gorgeous, and lovely and you will meet someone fabulous and have more babies with them.

I'm with Ali :)

Hello! Just wanted to pop on and say hi and i have not abandoned you all. In fact, while Dh took DD swimming this morning i managed to get 3 loads of washing on (actually that has been ongoing through the day) the dishy emptied, the kitchen cleared, a chocolate pudding made, a load of clean washing folded and sorted, some yorkshire puddings made and erm....some other stuff i think... oh yes and tidied the hall and swept it. You forget how much easier a tiny baby is than a toddler, especially if they sleep!

F is being a fab baby and my nipples are finally healing - thank god! Have friends coming over for sunday roast at 6pm so we are getting stuff done (been a bit slack on the housework front tbh, but i do have a good excuse i promise! )

I have asked DH to get some photos put on my profile, but he hasn't yet, promise there will be some by the time i am back with you all

Take care lovely slatterns

Hello everyone! I joined up a few weeks ago with you at the beginning of the summer holidays but it kind of fizzled out because I kept getting sucked into other stuff on mn and ignoring my list.
Still working on those lists btw. Hopefully will get a bit more scheduled when the kids are at school. It's been quite mad but we all had a happier time (I didn't snap and shout) so it was good even if the house is a tip somewhat.
I hope you all don't mind me dipping in and out as and when...

Congratulations Alice on your fab baby!

Dh decided that today he would pull out all the stops and get the dining/office painted. Cheer or Boo. AANywaay 'tis done. all nice and bright, but everywhere a mess AArgh. PS this is still part of our 'holiday'.

Yoohoo! Will catch up tomorrow. Been having an awesome weekend.

Hello all :)

Alice - glad everything is going well, I saw you on a BFing thread somewhere - v.pleased things are going well in that department!

We are off to my uncle's for a BBQ today, it's lovely and sunny but not particularly warm so I'm not sure what to wear. Also, things are starting to not fit me, bump seems to be making an appearance already which is a total PITA because all my maternity stuff is miles too big still. Humph.
Really hoping my brother and his wife (yuck) aren't there, haven't had the balls to ask my Mum for fear of provoking a row. Ho hum.

Ali - I am rapidly adding to my 'too small' pile already too! Haven't got mat clothes down from loft yet, think i have a small pile of 'too big' stuff handy from when i was losing weight that should do for a few weeks.
No actual sickness, just nausea - though that doesn't seem to cover the feeling of utter crapness!
Polos & cups of tea seem to help :)
