Hello everyone

Freak - I love hearing about your love life, and you are right about getting over the WC. Just go, he might be lovely. If he isn't well then you had an evening out with a good loking bloke.

Alice - you poor thing. You need to slow right down and develop a pregnant waddle, much more comfortable to move around like that Sympathies re. the bra, they are a nightmare at the best of times never mind when combined with a bump! I found that because I am so short that it felt like there was no room for the bra between bump and boobs.

JKS - glad you are feeling a bit better

Morning

JKS i hope you start feeling better soon.

Ali i have given up and decided to get some sports bras to last me til the bump has popped, just cba with being uncomfortable!

Another crappy nights sleep, feel grotty today so will likely do nothing. DD is watching Tom and Jerry so she is happy.

I have decided that however hard i find having a toddler, it is nothing to having a 5 year old. My friend and i meet everyweek, one week we go there, the other week she comes to us and it is lovely but her 5 year old is worse than DD (2.6) and the 3yr old put together.

JKS No had a first birthday cake tomorrow but made monsters with one sponge,
and now have realised I have loads of strawberries left over, so dh is going to bring me home more cream and I will top sponge with with cream and strawberries , that will be all right won't it??

Tusker Just outside Lisburn so not close enough to you Have some virtual cake to set you up for the weekend

Wasting, missed that, was it a troll or regulars?

Waves to everyone

I am being a true slattern today, i am still in my pyjamas

I find that although physically i need a day doing nothing, mentally it doesn't help at all as i feel bleugh and a bit down.

Here is what i have done, despite the fact that neither DD or i am dressed yet;

Unloaded tumble and folded towels
Put yesterday's washing in the tumble
Put another washload on
Put the dishy on
Made breakfast
Cleared up breakfast
Set up sticking stuff for DD
Made lunch
Eaten lunch

Doesn't look too bad written down does it?

Not off to a great start this morning, ds came downstairs and before I managed to drag myself out of bed he had managed to do something (not sure what!) to the joint of beef in the fridge so the entire kitchen was spattered in blood It seriously looked like someone had been stabbed. There was blood all down the fridge door and seal, a pool of it under the fridge, all over the wall and floor...

Have cleaned it all up but the wall is stained, anyone know how to get rid of blood stains from a cream wall?

DONE
All up etc
Clean kitchen massacre
Washing up & sides
DD to dancing
Clean loo
Lunch

STILL TO DO
Hoover
Clean bathroom

IRONING
Dinner

Should get my arse in gear really...

Cold water not hot!

Soda crystals?

Oh good idea, have tried cold water, flash, sugar soap but still stained. will try the soda crystals...they work for most stuff!

If not try babywipes! I do not know what they put in them, but they seem to get everything off!

Alice I am still in my pjs too!

Am having a really urgh day!

Don't want to do housework
Don't want to do anything really

Must be that kind of day Freak we have had the telly on all day and i have only just got dressed. On the plus side, DD's eczema is much better the less she wears so the fact she has been running around in her vest all day means her skin is better

Before 5pm i will

Get DD dressed
Tidy the sitting room
Sweep round DD's table
Empty dishy
Empty tumble
Put wet washing in tumble

If i do that then i feel at least the housework is not going backwards

Oh, and just remembered that DH and i are going racing tomorrow afternoon, so need to straighten my hair this evening.

Maybe it's the moon.

I had a look on a dating site, bloody hell they are scary. Not for me I don't think.

I think you need to start going out a bit more to enjoy yourself, before worrying about a man tbh. I know it is easier said than done with the dc though

Yep that's what I told wc when he told me I needed a man. I think he thought I was insulting him for having gone pretty much straight from one relationship to another though!

I only looked cos I was bored, the whole joining a site just to find a man seems a bit odd to me. Would rather take my chances with real life iyswim! Would love to go out more, friend's here are crap though - nobody ever wants to do anything and am too much of a wimp to go alone! Need better friends (either male or female!)
