Spooky Slatterns are Ghosting through our Lists!

[Alibabaandthe40nappies]

New thread ladies

Just going to put DS to bed and then I'll be back with my list.

Thanks for all your good wishes but sadly things have still slowed down here. Getting tightenings across bump but none around pelvis, which I was getting last night and early this morning.

Off to Ikea with PIL shortly (taking hospital bag!) and really hoping that'll help things along as the wrigglings and tightenings do feel different to usual so here's hoping.

Sorry to get you all excited I was very, very hopeful after all the contractions in the night. Also, neither my mother nor my sister's waters broke spontaneously so not really expecting that as a sign of labour.

(Slinks off to re-measure wardrobe space)

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

We went to post some letters after school and wc nan was outside her house so the dc ran down to say hello then went in to see the ferret. Guess who bloody turned up while we were there???? And then the fucker sent me a text saying he had really wanted to wrap his arms around me and hold me He really isn't being fair is he?? He has a gf ffs!

OH Freaki, that is desperately unfair of him... what a sod. Did you text or do you intend to text back? If so, you need to tell him he has to get his act straight. He can't mess you about like this. He can't be with his girlfriend AND be in an emotional "thing" with you too. You and he agreed you needed to be apart properly didn't you??

Well, be cross dammit, be as cross as you can.

I suspect he is finding it difficult, but he's playing a game, even if not intentionally if he has "feelings", but he has to control himself and figure out what he really wants.

you should be.

Evening :)

Oh Comtessa :( Now probably isn't the time to mention that I had about 36 hours of false labour 3 weeks before my due date and then went over is it? Hope the Ikea trip got things started again!

Freak - no that is really not on. He is being a dick tbh, no good man does that when he's living with his gf. I am :( and for you.

JKS - that tea sounds awesome :) DS won't touch things like that in sauce though, can't even persuade him to eat baked beans which is v.annoying as it makes a good lunch!

Wasting - sounds like your DS and mine have been swapping notes! He is so contrary atm. Asks for something, then doesn't want it or it's chopped up wrong if it's food, so I take it away and then he's howling for it. Aaarrrgggh.

I've had a bit of a spurt of energy and got some more jobs done.

Morning

Can I join the battle bus for Freaki please? Nothing like a bit of pregna-rage to terrify someone. And if I sit in the back seat of the bus then the bumpy ride should help things along. Contractions started again this morning - V painful - but have now eased off again. GRRRR!!!

So, today:

Double-check hospital bag - done
Washing up
Ikea wardrobe being delivered
Call mum

Ok Slatterns, so here's the thing.

1. My house is about to be pulled apart
2. I haven't done any bar the minimum of housework for a few weeks because I didn't see the point - only the swirls of ankle deep dog hair have made me get out the hoover.

Clearly, therefore, it is a complete waste of my time to do any more housework before I move. It's not even as if someone is moving in - only the builders.

HOWEVER. Now that half my furniture has gone, the dust - the spiders - the general crap that has appeared under/behind/in the corners where the furniture has been taken away. It is just TOO AWFUL. Even though I only to survive until Friday morning, I simply have to get the hoover out and go round. How silly is that??

BTW, these removal guys are great, gosh, very quick but so far so good, looks like it's all safely making it into the containers.... Phew.

Comtessa - think about that bumpy bus ride girl, think about Russell Crowe (or whoever) with not a lot on fighting ten men in the Coliseum in the heat and dust - it worked for me!

Morning, Get on a birthing bal with a cup of raspberry leaf tea Comtessa

Comtessa have you tried reflexology, or finding the point which is four fingerwidths directly above ankle bone, may feel tender, press there for a bit try a 30sec hold then release 3/4/ times,repeat now and again... If you can reach

Counselling head on>Plum re dad:
ask these questions- What would I like to have happen? and hold in your head that it just could be healing, comfortable, light hearted etc etc...
Then : Let go of expectations especially of how you think it will go. No agenda.
Hope this helps.

Was supposed to give blood today, I had forgotten, but I just have to get into that paperwork. trying not to feel guily.

Loving your idea PBM, Can you not say to your mum, name the time and place and I will be there?
