Yet this person claims shes grown up! makes you laugh really.

Yeah I prob do sound like a hypercondriac but when people ask how you feel or if you miss class its for a good reason. I would wish the things I have on anybody

Shes 19, says if i'd of spent more time in class, from sept i've been in everyday, except the last 6-8weeks due to my flare up etc. so how has she not had time to talk to me. I just said well you can't be that grown up if you still feel the need to bitch behind my back. her FB status was glad next weds is the last day at college will be glad to get rid of hypercondriacs.........

Nice aye! Was supposed to be going to a end of yr BBQ i've paid etc, but i've emailed my tutor to say i'm not going and the reasons behind it.

giraffesCantRunA10k · 16/06/2009 13:11

OMG! I am glad you have told tutor - she is a bully, plain and simple. What an immature little girl!

TrillianAstra · 16/06/2009 14:53

Hi all, am MNing in work already - left alone(ish) other people in office but no-one from my dept at the moment.

19 year olds do think they are so grown-up, don't they Muppets, what a silly cow.

MuppetsMuggle · 16/06/2009 15:41

Makes you laugh i'm 26, and she thinks shes grown up, the girl has only just turned 19 - so I have 7yrs on her LOL. I haven't even told her this poss collapse at the weekend was due to pregnancy.

DO you all think i'm a hypercondriac?

TA - hope you don't get caught MNing

alicecrail · 16/06/2009 16:43

Hey all

muppets and giraffe very for you both, have a to cheer you up

Trillian how are you enjoying the temping?

Well, my car is fixed at the grand total cost of ..........£2.87
They thought it was their fault for not fitting the shock absorbers correctly at the MOT (they were having problems with them) so agreed to do it for free, then found it was a little stone wedged in, but didn't charge me anyway, but had to have both break light bulbs replaced, hence the £2.87

However, have spent a little bit in John Lewis today but did get some great bras, i am now a 32F

MuppetsMuggle · 16/06/2009 16:54

Alice thats good news about the car not costing alot

32F, I'm lucky if I fill a B! LOL

claireybee · 16/06/2009 17:02

Hi everyone, had friend's dd again today so have only accomplished the basics. Have just about put the house back together now so thought I'd come on and try to catch up.

A question: If you were a 3 year old who had a drink where would you have left the cup??? Friend's dd had some milk here and can't find it anywhere and just know I'll find it rancid in 6 months time!

claireybee · 16/06/2009 17:05

And alice I hope you are not a size 8 if you have 32f boobs, I justify my complete lack of any petite bra size on being a size 8 and always hate anyone who is skinny and has boobs

JustKeepSwimming · 16/06/2009 17:12

I have no boobs anymore either! 32b, heading to a 32a i think!

PlumBumMum · 16/06/2009 17:55

Clairey I used to be a size 10 with 32 F chest, now after 3 dcs I'm a size 14(pushing up to a 16 depending on the shop)with 36F,
I didn't apreciate it when I had it as I always had to buy bigger tops to fit, and there wasn't as many lovely bras that a teenager could afford to buy either!

MM that girl sounds jealous why should she care if you've been off!

Finally got all my invoicing done had to sit and condense 3 invoices on to one for a customer who seems to change the goal posts everytime we get into their way of doing things,
So have to wait until tomorrow to see if I need to use a completely new invoice number or can I use one of the three already in use, just delays them having to pay us! I hate having to wait when I have something sorted I just want to get off to them!

Anyway going to be lazy and leave my dishes until tomorrow
Got my hair done today MIL treat/surprise

JKS enjoy we will miss you!

OP posts:
smallblessings · 16/06/2009 21:34

Plum That was kind of your MIL The invoicing sounds a pain.

MM Some people are just horrible.

Giraffe Sorry about your wrist. No wonder you are shock.

Alice/pulm Don't worry you're not alone, I am currently a shocking 38F

CWWM Sorry you had a tough night with Lola. Infacol is ok from birth. You probably know this as you're a very experienced mummy but massage a baby'd tum clockwise can help. How are things with DH's return to work.

I feel really bad, DH was late in from work and I had my 3 DDs on my own, I got stressed because baby was crying non-stop and feeding/feeding/feeding and ended up shouting at DD1/2 for not alot. I have apologized and gave kisses/cuddles but still feel bad.

Done:

Supervise DDs getting dressed
Brush DDs teeth and hair
Wash and dress baby
Clean car seat after explosive/drippy baby poo on it again
Breakfast and clean up
School run
Pop into school office
Nursery run
Baby group
Pick DD and friend up from nursery
Take DD and friend to soft play and lunch
Pick DD 1 up from school
Dinner and clean up (dinner done/cleaning up started)
Take tags off DD3 new clothes and wash
Washing and drying DOING
Homework DD1 and DD2
Feed baby ONGOING
Iroing STARTED
DDs sorted rabbits
Empty and wash bin
Put DW on and empty ON

smallblessings · 16/06/2009 21:36

Oh yes, I got dressed and showered too!

PlumBumMum · 16/06/2009 21:40

smallblessings don't feel bad we have all done it hopefully our dcs will not remember or when they have their own they will know that sometimes its just stressful!

I have had my SIL on the phone crying, and I feel awful, I hope I made her feel better, the baby is Jaundiced and she is only taking wee short feeds,
think the midwife paniced her abit give her a feeding cup to express into, I told her not to worry and just sit and relax and let her feed off and on, I think she thinks the constant feeding is never going to end!

OP posts:
smallblessings · 16/06/2009 21:53

plum

Thanks, I hope you are right!

Poor SIL, the first few weeks are really tough. You're right about letting the baby just feed as and when.
