Hello everyone. Have not been around for a couple of weeks...had a week in Eastbourne last week which was nice, although could have done with more sun, less wind and fewer noisy fighter jets (didn't realise our trip coincided with Eastbourne Airshow!) which scared the DTs and the dog! The week before that we were enjoying the sunshine (I think - was it sunny that week) and getting ready to go!

It's taken me ages to catch up on the end of the last thread and then I realised there was a new one to catch up on as well!

One good thing from last week is that, although we took travel cots, we put the DTs in beds for the first time, with lots of cushions and duvets on the floor between them in case they fell out (DT2 did twice!). They loved being in big beds and it was great cos DD1 went in and undid their sleeping bags for them when they woke up and then they came into our room - so we didn't have to get up so early! So we braved Ikea on a Sunday today and chose their new beds - they're very excited about it. I'm going to keep them in their sleeping bags for a bit though, to try and minimise any messing around at bedtime etc. It's a bit sad though - they're really growing up, not babies any more. Mind you, still not getting anywhere with potty training, so still have the nappies to remind me they're still babies

I've just realised that it's only 3 weeks tomorrow till DD1 starts school. I know she's ready for it, but she's still so little - only just 4 and small for her age to boot, so I hope she'll be ok.

Hello to all the newbies - seem to be a lot in the last couple of weeks.

Oh and Mars - have you heard from collette? Let me know if you haven't and I'll email you some news!

DT1 has got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning, she sat on the stairs with her arms folded for 20 minutes looking disgusted for no apparent reason, when she finally camer down I said ' can yoou get dressed please' as a response she screamed No!! then went and sobbed in the hallway

Meeely2 · 20/08/2007 13:46

frumpygrumpy · 20/08/2007 14:13

Anyone head of this?

frumpygrumpy · 20/08/2007 14:16

I found Throckenholt

MarsLady · 20/08/2007 14:16

Meely this is the..... we're mothers of multiples and lots goes on in our lives thread. Not the let's pretend all is roses thread.

I'm sorry that your DH likes coke and is a miserable fecker without it.

I wish I had answers for you. I agree with the poster that is a counsellor who talked about counselling the wife.

Might not be able to do anything but know that we're here for you (as much as we can be).

frumpygrumpy · 20/08/2007 14:18

I didn't find throckenholt, I see Mars did Sorry, am catching up (see Throck, I do it too ).

frumpygrumpy · 20/08/2007 14:23

meeely, will catch up on your DH as soon as I can....hope you are ok.

MarsLady · 20/08/2007 14:35

Come on ladies. Need you to sign up for Jeans for Genes please. Denimise the nation!!!!!!

Meeely2 · 20/08/2007 14:37

thanks FG and Mars

oh and i was being sarcastic with the 'we have twins and LOVE it' thing....my main point was this wasn't the thread for airing my marital issues its more about life with twins and how we do or don't cope.....!

pastes on a smile do wanna rip dh's head off and poo down his neck though.....

MarsLady · 20/08/2007 14:38

at you Pooing down DH neck Meeely

Dont know anythin about that funneling of the cervix, how strange and to use pessaries too. Route for infection and fiddling does not sound like sound advice to me on a twin pregnancy! Hope she gets some answers soon.

5 children bought me up tea and toast in bed and it only took me half an hour to put the kitchen back together God love them all!!

Meeely2 · 20/08/2007 14:51

i want an ample chest!

t&t, see my thread link below, i haven;t the energy to post it all again.

Update is though, he is acting like life is normal and is even 'stopping by' a friends house to sort his PC. This friend I know dabbles in coke consumption also so i will be like a cat on a hot tin roof til he comes home and then if he is even remotely NICE i will KNOW he's been on it again.

Time at my sisters this weekend will hopefully help me think....i have been soooo quick to offer advice on here before 'leave him, you can't stay' and now i can't seem to pluck up the courage myself. Namely beacuse i have no family local, so if i go it's a huge upheavel, i can't work so would have to explain things to my boss, i have to take kids out of nursery, blah blah blah.

you may or may not know i walked out before (not drug related) and so many people got involved cos they heard about it through 'the grapevine', I just don't want that. If I go i just wanna go, fade into background and start again somewhere else.

But then another part of me doesn't want to leave MY house - new bathroom is nearly finished, i'm comfy there, he should be the one that fooks off.

oh grrrrrr, hate him, hate him for making me feel like this.
