"D'y ever wonder what Paolo would look like in my shower?" <<because I do>> For FG xxx

[largeginandtonic]

How are the pox today HM???

Oh don't fg, those little bundles! I waaannnt!

no you don't kelly - you have enough on your plate already. Much better to be an auntie

If only I did have one or two to borrow for short periods.

At last I can talk freely!

Kelly - I have a perpetually screaming DD you can have for a while if you want? Had her 3 month jabs yesterday and seems to have been cranky ever since, hope that doesnt mean anything is wrong......

Please excuse me, I can't hold it in any longer.

bum tits fuck wank shite arse fanny dick fuck fuck fuck fuck (tis good for Hugh Grant, tis good for me)

I'm hideously hormonal and DT1 is currently going through a major tantrum phase (for weeks actually) where she believes screaming and crying loudly all day and every day will solve the world. I have been trying to talk quietly and calmly at all times and handle her the clever way BUT I'm SO DAMN PISSED OFF WITH IT. DT2 is currently having hissy fits at anything I give him to eat (any meal and every meal) and poor DD is having her nose bitten off (by me) if she so much as peeps a toe in the room.

I am fed up running everywhere at top speed, squeezing too much into my days and leaving myself burnt out and late. I have committed to too much, DT1 is also going through a broken sleep patch and I am fucked off as hell with life right now.

I have put on a little weight which has made my self esteem nose-dive (I am shallow) and everytime I try to eat sensibly its followed by eating hideously.

As I said. I'm hormonal. And fucked off.

And my language has been disgusting and I apologise.

And no I don't feel any better yet.

And yes I am pouring a gin now.

Enjoy your gin! DT1 is currently exercising her lungs in a similar way.

Can't wait to escape out to salsa.

not enough yet

fg am feeling shite myself tonight, really p'd off with DH for no reason other than he is irritating me, DTs have whinged all day, have had 2 glasses of red already... cheers

My second gin has an inch left and the cloud is thining. I never have more than two since my gins are quadruples, but tonight........

FG, I felt that like on tuesady, so know where you are coming from. Two gins makes the world seem rosey, three gins and the tears start

Overrun, thats just what I'm like! I have just popped DD into bed (we are later than normal) and I made my last inch of gin last until now. I will have no more or, you're right, I'll get maudlin and cry myself into a heap. The tears are due though. I will have to prepare DP. If I don't get over this really soon, its going to be an awful weekend. I feel a major hormonal rollercoaster coming on, do you get that too? Sometimes bad, sometimes really bad? I have no tummy pains yet so I'm guessing I'm still days away from feeling better and therefore a really bad one I guess Its such an awful thing to ride for your whole life. Its has held me back from so much. One of the reasons I could never get married, I never know how I'm going to feel .

Oh shit I wish I could go straight to bed. I have stuff to do though. And DP not due home until late.

Thank you for reading girls.

OH Frumpy, I do know what you mean. I just feel really brittle atm, and the children talking too loudly or dt1 getting cereal on my sleeve (just after getting up) can all send me shouting or crying. My head feels like its going to explode.
I'm sorry that you feel that this is why you can't marry. But understand, that feeling of "its not me in control here, and how scarey that can be"
I try and stay clear of gin, although I love the taste, my Mum necks it back, and its nickname "mothers ruin" doesn't half ring true

xxx thanks sweetheart. I know you get it. That helps.

Take care, and I will check on you tomorrow.

I'm taking myself to the hairdressers tomorrow which is the very last thing I want to do. Its meant to leave you feeling good. I feel like strangling the person saying "are you doing anything nice this weekend". Oh, frumpy, get back in your cage wumman! Night Ovun, a peaceful one to you I hope x.

p.s. dingdong, night improved?

Sorry to hear you are feeling low FG - hope it passes soon.

I think I have finally come out the other side of this dreadful flu - after 2 weeks, most of which was spent in bed - I dont think I have been this ill since I was pregnant. DH, DT2 and DS3 have also all recovered so only DT1 still suffering, unfortunately not enought to keep him still and quiet but enough to get him sent home from pre-school. How come he has a temperature there but has gone back to normal in the 2 mile journey home - especially when I am on my last legs.

And why do I have a yearning for those little babies of Leo's when I am up to my eyeballs as it is. You would think hormones would have more sense wouldn't you. I mean enough is enough.

Hi ladies sory not to respond to anyones messages, but thanks for all your support, I have been down with stomach bug this week but managed to get to hospital today for a scan.

Apparently I have to much fluid round twin 1 so could go into spontaneous labour at any time. They wanted to admit me today but I had a dose of steroids and am being admitted tomorrow. Apparently my cervix is nice and long (don't ask how they found that out) so was allowed home but they want me back quick sticks.
I couldn't just leave DD behind so came home to put my house in order so to speak.

Whatever am I going to do if I have to stay in hospiatal until they arrive. I have only ever spent a couple of nights away from DH and DD has only had one night without me. I am gutted. I really feel for you ladies who have to manage long distance for any length of time.

Anyway I am signing off and may be some time. Good luck with all of your babes. Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye. I am coming over all musical.
Hopfully I will find a compute at the hospital what do you reckon?

Oh Charleymouse you poor thing, what alot you have had to cope with - puts my irrational grumpiness into perspective good luck, hope it goes ok, will be thinking of you

FG and overrun how are you feeling this morning? I blew my top at DH last night and he didn't speak to me again til this morning to say goodbye - I think I save it all up then let it all out at once and usually the trigger is something really trivial which wouldn't normally wind me up so the poor bloke doesn't know what he's done wrong! Anyway, have had enough of running around after everyone this week, I'm planning to get out in the garden today, DTs permitting FG a haircut always makes me feel better once its finished, but I agree about the mindless drivel you have to endure once there - I just get a magazine and avoid eye contact

Shall we have a big group hug?

{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}} to everyone.

Good luck charleymouse, I hope things settle down for you.

Hope you feeling better today, fg and overun.

I feeling bad now about offloading to you yesterday overun, I didn't realise you were feeling rough too.

Yay, group hug. I'm with dingdong on this FG, studiously pouring over a magazine tends to deflect the inane questions, and hopefully the hairstyle itself will perk you up.
I am feeling okay this morning, I'm alright until some thing even vaguely stressful happens, which of course is all the time with young dcs. Dingdong, my dh would have a lot in common with your dh, I think he is genuinely perplexed sometimes at my outbursts.
Charley, good luck, I had to spend about 3 weeks in total with my dts, and its hard, but actually you get institutionalised very quickly, and ds1 used to enjoy visiting me in there, and he had some lovely time with dh. I also most importantly got some rest. You make good friends with the women on your ward, it can a real bonding experience. Get to know the midwifes, so if you end up spending any time after the birth, it is much nicer, as they are all keen to look after you.
I felt safe there as well, which is a good feeling, with all the anxiety a high risk pregnancy can bring. Lots of books,magazines, telly, just a complete slob out, give yourself up to it

managed 2 and a 1/2 hours of gardening with DTs 'helping' me with their wheelbarrows i.e. half filling them with stuff then tipping them over and leaving piles of twigs and leaves around the garden but bless them, when they came in they took their boots off outside the back door to keep the mud outside (they weren't to know they would then tread all the mud from the boots they'd just taken off into the house on their socks )

Hello ladies. I have had the do done. I look a bit 'done' now but I will let the kids roll me about the floor for a bit later and then it might look a little better .

Took serious period pains in the chair and feel like I have an iron bar squeezing round my pelvis, so, at least that means the pmt will gradually subside, for a little bit. Ovun, I know you have problems like this too, do you also feel like you are going into labour every period? Each month it gets stronger and stronger and sometimes I get severe pains that take my breath away. I had a scan for fybroids 2 weeks ago and there were none. The doc did find a cyst on my right ovary which will be scanned again to be sure its not growing....but I can't think that is it causing any pain as people get them all the time and don't even know it. Bloody periods.

Anyway, enough wallowing in claptrap.

Charleymouse, you poor thing, I do so hope you have computer access in there and then you can offload anytime you need to. I would hate it too, and to be separated from your DD will be extremely hard. On the plus side you will only spend happy time with her though. I hated the hospital I was in when I had DD, awful everything but I adored the hospital I had the DTs in. I would not have minded a bit spending time in their. The food was great, the midwives caring, my room mates great fun. I felt anxious when it came to leaving with my DTs . You might not evn read this, but, if you do, be strong, keep photos of your darling DD right beside you and every time you have a wobble, look deep into that photo, remember what made her smile, and remember you have two more coming. Shout when we can help xxx.

btw, spelling and grammar both off sick today

Hi dingdong, do you have an inside garden now then too?

Hi everyone,
Just thought Id look in and see what you have all been up to. Frumpy what on earths the matter, not your usual unfrumpy self? Hope you got it off of your chest. Hello to Mars, hows your world today? Well I feel abit fed up, seen a house I would very much like to buy, but after two valuations on ours I dont see how we can stretch to it, I just know it would work for us, and reduce our stress levels here, oh bum, just £50,000 on the lottery would do it. Well girls this time last week I was flying to Nice with three girlfriends.Should have been flying to Pau nr Toulouse but missed the flight because of accidents on M25, and after getting there in the nick of time two friends got lost and went to the wrong gate!! So, rather than lose £130 each, we walked around the airport and finally took 4 seats to Nice and decided we would drive back towards Toulouse to the friends we were staying with. Just as we were about to board the plane I couldnt find my passport or boarding card, major panic! I rush to desk whilst friends turn out my bag and theirs, hooray, it had somehow got into Lisaa bag. Just about to go thru when someone points to suspect package left in the middle of the floor, my glocosamine tubs I was taking down for my friends!! Finally take off for pleasant flight to Nice, arriving at 3pm. Go to collect hire car which we had had transferred from Pau, "sorry" she says, "we ave no car of that size ere,you must ave zee bigger one, it will be another £118"!! Phone friends to say we are on our way, told it would take us 5/6 hours, we finally arrived at 12.30am!!!Had lovely day Saturday with them, left Sunday at mid-day for Pau airport less than an hour away. Arrived safely and retd the car, sat in very pleasant lounge for a beer and waited to be called, tiny sweet airport, all very relaxed. At 3pm dead on time we are seated on board and ready for take off. Co pilot walks thru plane looking worried. Eatern European stewardess makes an announcement. "Ladies and gentleman, we will not be taking you to London Stansted as your aircraft is broken, please disembark the plane! The ground crew on taking away the rear staircase had damaged the door and they could not close it! At 4pm they announce that another plane is being flown from Dublin and will arrive at 8.30pm, take off will be at 9pm, so they will issue us with a voucher for food and beverages, a whole 5 euros, a small bottle of water was 3.25 euros! Feeling very pissed off by then we decide to buy a bottle of wine in the duty free shop, getting girl to open it for us, and deposit ourselves down in the posh restaurant which didnt open until 7pm, but had a nice view of the runway. Wine slipped down all to easily, so back I went to shop where the girl took one look at me and held up the bottle opener! Restaurant opened and we treated ourselves to a steak, severely scowled at for drinking duty free wine, went to till to pay, offered our measly 5 euro voucher towards meal, and it was refused, you could only spend it at the bar!Plane from Dublin finally arrives at 10.30pm, take off at last at 11pm. At 11.15pm, Eastern European stewardess makes an announcement, "az this plane az been flown in for you, we ave no wine, beer, soft drinks, water, snacks or ot food to offer you, but we would like to welcome you onboard and apologize for you slight delay with us today"! I finally got home at 3am. with my visitors from Cornwall all tucked up in bed, they had arrived at 6pm the night before, the same time I should have arrived home! Hope that cheers you all up, the good thing was we laughed all w/end, and it was very pleasant to see Nice, Avignon, Montpelier, Camargue, Nime, Carcassone and all the mimosa! What shall I do this w/end?
