This is going to sound like a sob story FG.I feel that we are at the one year bench mark with our friends. It was like it after Matthew died, the first year everyone was there, so supportive, then after the first a/v it all seemed to stop. People dont want to keep talking about it, dont want to be made to feel down, esp at times of the year like this. I think they all feel we are through the worst, I hope we are, but I know we still have a way to go. Atm we are awaiting the call from Kings for him to go back in for 2 nights to get rid of that third lesion they missed, then its scans, and chemo. So no chance of escaping sadly. My friends too, as much as I love them, are all single, no ties, and fairly well off, they always seem to be doing things together that I cant do, its the way it is. I just get frustrated at times because at my age I should have the same freedom. Then they dont have three fantastic special children do they?

evening all, FG I spat all over the screen reading about your gran , glad to hear she's ok and sorry about your dinner but you wrote it with your usual talent.

Mars - thanks again for a great evening, your place felt so welcoming I didn't want to leave. Remember you keep quiet about the baby eating rum cake biscuits and I won't tell them about being stripped or furniture moving. oops lol.

I had a strange xmas day, just couldn't get in mood, decorations are almost all packed away and just trying to decide what to do with dts on Tues. How can they be almost 2?

So has anyone thought up any NY resolutions? Mine so far include having my photo taken more often, there's only a handful in existence of me and the dcs. Also to find positives in everyday and be thankful.

waves to Trips, Shabs, Ruby, HM and everyone else

Evening girls - and good night girls. Well, I got through another twins birthday Today is the only day I feel that I should be on the multiples thread. I delivered my darling twin boys through the flue!!!!!! Am currently listening to DH telling me just how poorly he is (winter vomiting bug and chest infection) and I am so very, very tired of listening. Tomorrow is another day and i would appreciate your advice on a text message from Danny. I despise my life at the moment - I am delighted with my children and my grandchild but the rest sucks.

Enough moaning. Kale Nits my dear friends xx

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 29/12/2008 01:24

Trips - always here for you, H and the children. xxxx Just shout up loud if you need to talk. xxx

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 29/12/2008 09:11

Morning girls. Last night was the first time I have had a drink over Christmas...and it shows by my strange post!!! Just ignore me!

HarrogateMum · 29/12/2008 12:25

Shabs - will not ignore you - what strange text message? Tell and will advise........

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 29/12/2008 12:46

HM Danny has not had a drink since April this year....last night cause it was his birthday he got very drunk, very quickly!!! He sent me a heartbreaking text that shocked me to the core. Just explaining how much he loved Lewis and Emma, how worried he was about my Mum and Dad - (they are quite simply getting old and forgetful but they were like second parents to him when his twin brother died). I know what the message was behind all the text - he is missing his 'love life' with Em. They have not done IT since Lew was born.

Danny is a very cuddly, hug loving, tactile man and he misses the affection.

He texted me this morning to apologise for his ramblings.

Nothing anyone can help with - it is also TMI - my DS's sex life....wish Em would just get on with it - at my 'not very understanding' last sentence!!

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 29/12/2008 12:47

He would 'kill me' if he knew that I was talking about his love life on Mumsnet

hmmm difficult one Shabs. Has he actually tried talking to her about it or has it gone past that stage - I know sometimes the subject can just get so emotional and sensitive that people skirt round it rather than talk about it honestly. This may be TMI but does he try it on and get knocked back or just stopped trying as it were (rather embarassed at my forwardness emoticon...).

HM - think he has tried but has had the 'knock back' - dont think my H (his Dad) would be this patient. He has talked to her and says he really appreciates what she says. They once didn't use contraception and got Lewis - so I can see why she is so reluctant. Knowing Dan like I do he really needs a kiss and a cuddle - think he would be more than happy with that. He has pinched my 'Elanor Rigby' face and is trying to keep it all together - something I am afraid I have taught him by example

duckyfuzz · 29/12/2008 16:00

Happy Christmas everyone

I finally have a couple of hours to myself, so obviously I'm spending it cleaning and tidying, not on mn, browsing online sales (in PJs) or stuffing my poor starving face

will now read all about your various trials and tribulations in proper detail...

HarrogateMum · 29/12/2008 16:14

hmmmm difficult. My DH wouldnt be that patient either...he gets "toey" as he calls it after a week.....(Rubes - there you go that'll embarass you!!).

So if he has talked to her and appreciates what she says - what does she say? That she doesnt want to incase she gets pregnant again?

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 29/12/2008 16:23

You got it in one HM!

HarrogateMum · 29/12/2008 17:08

How about one of those contraceptive implants that go in your arm? Has she considered options other than the standard Pill or condoms? I think they have a very high effectiveness rate - I haev a friend with one in her arm, means you dont have to think about it at all!

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 29/12/2008 17:51

She has tried the pill, the injection and the thingy in the arm. All 3 have made her bleed continuously - Doctor reckons that sometimes happens.

I am just going to listen to Danny when he needs to talk and stay tight lipped - dont want Em to think I am interferring.

ChristMarsSleighdy · 29/12/2008 17:55

She's having twins! No horror stories ladies lol!

shabster · 29/12/2008 18:30

Its good to be me again!!
