Hi there. No laziness here. Have done bedrooms and polished furniture, (also quick moth check)mopped kitchen floor, and conservatory floor, cooked sunday din, eaten it, done a load of washing and cleaned bathrom.
Fueled by anger at ex H's girlfriend telling lies and upsetting my lovely DD2 ( who is pg and could really do without it). and is now manipulating so that he won't see his family or be a grandad to his DGCs. I am and Am off to have a swear.

Mini - a) lots done :) b) boo hiss to exH, hope your DD2 is ok, not what she needs :(

Hi everyone :)

Plum - the dress is lovely, you will look v.glam. Do you have a little shrug or something you could wear with it if you are feeling a bit exposed?

Mini - what a cow. Mind you he is an idiot to let it happen so blame should be apportioned equally I suppose.

We haven't started packing yet, but the house is all clean and tidy, spare room ready for parents when we get back, and we've shopped for nappies, snacks etc to take with us.
DS is having a little sleep - his timing is all thrown out by the clocks, but we want him on late bedtimes while we are away anyway so not too bad I guess.
Then DH and I are going to tackle our pumpkin and put it out front so that the children in the road know they can t-o-t if they want to.

Bump is growing hourly it feels like, and I've got Braxton Hicks already [hhmm]

Plum dress is lovely, you will look fab in it.
Enjoy your hols Ali, bump will be kicking soon no doubt.
Both my DDs upset over their dads behaviour, and his taking her word as gospel. so imagine this: me with a large heavy frying pan swinging like an olympic shot putter and landing a good'un, no guessing where.evil
am nice really.

Mini -

Ali - wow at BHs already, i hope i don't get them too early. Some days bump doesn't feel too big, other days i feel enormous. think the aches are actually improving....

Mini that is awful, your poor dc. I will join you in the ex-h bashing. Phone went at 4 am this morning and when I looked there were 3 texts from him

Text 1 - sent at 12.50 - No matter what u are doing or who you are with rite now...ive always loved you in a way that i Truly apologise 4 nt showing it...

Text 2 - sent at 2.15 - I completly understand how u can feel Nothing towards me - when I feel the same bout u - lovely!!

Text 3 - sent at 3.55- Slut!. Game on!

I phoned him and said I suggest he stop sending me texts now and he had a go at me for not replying. It was the middle of the effing night! Then he started ranting about how he'd sent me a nice message and I'd ignored it because I was too busy with someone else I was alone, in bed, asleep.

He phoned this morning and apologised. I told him I thought he needed help and he needs to see someone about his issues. To which he replied that it was because he cared about me and loved me so much and that was why it tore him up to think of me with someone else and that was what made him act irrationally. FFS I am not even with anyone else, he had invented the whole scenario and then given me grief over it.

Honestly Freak. What b*** universe are they in? Sounds like your ex needs professional help. Living in the real world and not a fantasy one might help.
GRRR I am just in the mood for a rant
thanks for support btw

Mini I know, his texts didn't even make sense, stupid man! I am getting more and more convinced he had mental health issues, his behaviour just isn't normal.

The good thing is he is out of your life, well almost. Where children are concerned even grown up ones, we should make an effort for harmony in my book and put our own selfish needs on the back burner for a while. Tell me to shut up if I've gone on long enough. Perhpas I'm turning into a witch [hgrin]

[hgrin] Mini, I can hear you cackling!

at silly/loony exes though.

Have a good time Ali.

I'm looking forward to getting back into the playgroup etc. routine this week. DS is missing it.

Good morning!

Plum - cake is astounding, you are very very clever! I love the dress, why do i never find things like that when I am looking?!?! Lovely.

Freaki - and at the exchange with exH

Mini - that is shit of her/him/them. Swearing is often very useful in these situations. And as for dreaming about the frying pan... if nothing else, to knock in some sense, hey?! I hope that improves, your poor DD. And you.

Christmas is sorted - just the four of us, how nice is that?! Ahhhhh. Lovely lovely.

DD has Diwali celebration at school this week - she is not very good at dressing up, anyone got any good ideas about something simple which doesn't involve intricate costume/face painting/headdress that shows we have made minimal effort???!

Hi Comtessa... you could still have some waiting to do yet!!

I was convinced mine was going to arrive on the first of his birth month, even though not due until 7th. Don't ask me why, but I had the first of the month as a mental barrier, and anything after that I was getting seriously impatient about.... He arrived on 13th!! Oh and the phone calls from my mother in particular "any news" "any news". Every couple of hours. I stopped answering phone/mobile etc. She kept calling until DH told her (in calmer tones than i would have managed) that she would get the news when there was in fact some news. AND TO STOP BLOODY PHONING!!!!!!!!!!

We didn't tell anyone when I was in labour, went to the hospital and THEN told them "the news"!

Just enjoy it, whatever you want to do, the manicures etc... oh yes, make the most!

Comtessa I'm still in PJs too, it is hard if you feel huge but 36 weeks is a little early, sends chocololate cake to ease the wait

Mini Your exh Girlfriend sounds lovely I remember HMHB talking about her and felt she was trying to stop him forming bonds with DGC's

Freak love the way the texts went from loving you to Slut in the space of a few hours, anger issues just maybe[hhmm]

Well I left dress in to be altered, it was below knee and I suit above knee, and got girl to adjust straps abit so felt much better, have to collect tomorrow, so I think I will be much happier
