Hello

Not caught up yet, just wanted to mark my threads to catch up with later as have been on holiday.

Plum writing stuff down definitely a good thing, I remember when I wrote that mahoosive thread about H before we split and it was amazing how much clearer it made everything. Like some stuff seemed really petty when written down and I realised it was only annoying me because I was already annoyed with him about other things and then there was some other stuff I hadn't really given much thought to and then writing it down made me think OMG that's actually really bad.

Comtessa I am going to share how I went into labour, though I probably shouldn't recommend it With dd I went for a really long walk (without my phone) and really stomped along. Then I went home and ran upstairs and jumped down them a few times. Then spent evening bouncing up and down really vigorously on birthing ball. Went into labour early hours of morning. With ds I was a lot more knackered and had had on off contractions for a few days, did the long walk but less stompy, left out the jumping down stairs and bounced on ball, contractions through the eve really got going around midnight. Basically put lots of pressure on cervix

Hello all!

Comtessa, I went for a long bus ride, most of it standing up (b@stards!) had a mars bar and a can of coke, and started getting niggles the next day.

I feel like I've hardly been in this week, so busy! We've just been chilling this afternoon though.

• tidying/cleaning/ hoovering in front room
• DS bath and bed + clean bathroom floor
• knitting!

Today: Accounts woman came early so did DH accounting stuff which made me late for Life Drawing and sucked my brains out.
Enrolled for next term at ENORMOUS expense.
Into town messed with heating settings in Yoga Room.

Did half the shopping cos forgot list.

slump on sofa and read paper
Am knackered, will I make it to the pub tonight? can I be a*d.

Supposed to be all calm for yoga stuff over weekend. Not.

Hurumph,

Been away from home for two days, only to find out that DH has chucked a glass of red wine on the brand new cream carpet and was unable to get it out.... looks terrible (the carpet, not my DH!). He's tried salt, bicarb and Vanish! Poor fella. Any tips girls?

Glad its Friday, busy week this week. As Mini said, saw midwife on Wednesday and baby seems to be ok, heart beat was music to my ears!

Keeping fingers crossed for Comtessa's new arrival over the weekend!

I'll be buying paint for the babies room.

HicCups.I think you can get a spray on carpet cleaner that will do the job, will ahve alook in cupboard, we have ahd similar spills and removed.
May go xmas shopping tomorrow. Bracing self.

Thanks mom , let me know what it is. I'll get some tomorrow. x

Oh dear Hicups about the carpet. Maybe worth wetting with white wine and then dabbing (gently) with kitchen towel until you can't get anymore red out.
otherwise buy some proper carpet cleaner?

HicCups try Vanish carpet and upholstery Foam spray.

It In a Pink spray container, JKS's white wine idea will loosen it though.

Just no rubbing (unless desperate!)

JKS - glad its not just me, I can hardly ever manage to do anything in the evenings. I may rush around during the day but I do feel evening is my time.

HicCups - another vote for vanish, got chocolate milk out of my cream carpet.

So today was ok in the end:

Thanks for help. DH has already rubbed in well in!!!

I suspected as much (knowing my dh who has done similar).

We actually got our carpets professionally cleaned in the end as they were so filthy so the red wine stains didn't matter as they came out then.

Well.. we'll have a baby soon, so it will no doubt get a lot of damage then!

He's just managed to spill it in a long line in a place that I can't hide it easily! Fingers crossed for Vanish Carpet stuff.

He has just brought me waffle and ice-cream, which kind makes up for it
