The Norty Puddlehumpers present.... MUMSNET - THE MUSICAL!!!!

[EmpressOfTheSevenFlames]

Come in! Sit down! Have a and the show will start soon!

Thanks Tee & Bonkey.

Oh, State

DD sobbed on her first day when we moved her to a new primary school. It nearly broke DW's heart leaving her at the door. Came home saying it wasn't as bad as she'd expected. Two days later, loved it.

Put headphones on if you can & let us know how your DS does. Sounds like he has a lovely teacher anyway.

Your poor Ds State. He'll be fine soon. He's probably made lots of new friends already.

I have no idea why they mixed the classes but he and 6 others were devastated and several more quietly asking to go home, it was awful they were a lovely happy class of kids mere weeks ago and now its ruined.

I feel even more awful as we will be moving and he'll have to move schools so ill upset him all over again :(

He's such a shy anxious boy but last year he really excelled and was very happy I'm rather --hormonal and irrational-- upset people can just play with his life it seems.

Arsewit neighbour went out thankfully, and I've spent the day hoovering and cleaning up the dcs babygym and swing to pack up ready for dc3, early I guess but I needed distraction!

How was he when you picked him up, State?

I'm going to a body conditioning class before work. It was either that or circuit training, and that sounds way too energetic.

Why oh why oh why did I comment to my husband last night how well behaved our son had been this week. I've gotten nothing but back chat and tears all morning....

How's your son today, State?

How did your Ds get on State?

Tee, isn't that always the way?! I just mentioned to my MIL yesterday that DS has been dry at night for over a week now, and this morning he had a pull-up full of wee!

He came out beaming saying it was great fun, and had loads to tell us, he was very quiet this morning but no tears thank goodness.

tee my two are like that, never comment on the good patches, dd had been dry at night also and wet 3 fecking times last night.

Glad he enjoyed it State.

Oh State, that's brilliant . Must be a big relief.

It is, here's hoping mondays even better! :)

Hope so!

I'm cleaning the kitchen. When it's done it will be BEAUTIFUL. And then no-one will be allowed to cook in it ever again.

empress do you want to come and do mine?

I've had a rotten day, ds is in the vilest mood and screamed all round town causing many tuts and stares, I have no idea why he keeps doing this, its really disapointing and upsetting. He's now busy showing me up at my mums house. I swear the terrible twos have nothing on the fecking fives!

The problem with me cleaning your kitchen is that then you could NEVER COOK IN IT AGAIN.

That may be a slight issue then, bugger.

Well my day got even worse, on our way home from my mums we have to drive through a huge traffic light controlled cross roads, we were at the front of the lights and dp looked in the rearview mirror and commented the guy two cars back had hopped out and spoken to the one behind us, as we pulled off the lights to go straight across the car behind us revs up weaves around us and pushes us off the road, whilst the guy two cars back cuts through traffic and takes the left. They're clearly racing. And totally terrified us, luckily dp had noticed them talking and was watching what happened but there is only so much road he could swerve into.
Our car obviously contains dcs, and its a fiat multipla for crying out loud, no one has one for any other reason. So why do people behave like this.

Then we get home to the neighbours we share a front garden with letting their 3 dc demolish it, and everytime we passed through the gate ON OUR SIDE they locked it, very annoying.
Oh and we were also declined for our loan so looks like april next year the earliest we can move

Oh State I'm so sorry to hear all this. People are so...so...rotten, I think is the actually 1950s word I want to use.

LittleTee had his first PlayBall class today and loved it. Mummy got to come home and have a nap so she was happy as well.

Tomorrow is another day, and despite wanting to move dominating every thought and conversation me and dp have, we are in a far far better place (not literally but you know what I mean) than this time last year, so for that I am very grateful and happy.

What's playball tee? Sounds fun!

Ds has asked to go to 'sports club' at school which I'm more than happy for him to do but I worry that he's so anxious he'd get upset as its straight from school and he gets soo tired. He's the youngest in his year group so struggles with the long days sometimes.

Its my birthday a week tomorrow dd has asked me to have pink cake and princess bubbles in the party bags, oh to be three

State, PlayBall is pretty much what it sounds like! It's grouped by age and then play with balls of various sorts and run and jump and sing and learn about sport. He had so much fun.

As we are not a sporty family, the husband and I thought it would be a good way to get LittleTee moving without us having to move.

As we rode the bus to the class, we noted all the football clubs meeting along the way at various pitches and had a shudder at the premonition that that could be us in a year or two, up at 7 on a Saturday....

Sounds great fun, me and dp aren't sporty either, dp will join in with the dcs but in his words, "I'm not built for speed" he's 6"5 and looks awkward playing sport bless him. But I like the idea of getting them active without having to be I've lost count of the amount of times I shout who can bounce the highest then kids and off they run.

It is TOO hot today 25+1wks pregnant I swear it feels like I only found out a few weeks ago.

No posts since Sunday? Where are you all?! At least I have an excuse - had a baby boy at 13.29 on Sunday!

Had a stretch and sweep in hospital at 9am (went in cos had a heavy bleed - apparently was an unusually heavy show), and cervix was closed, and 4 and a half hours later there he was! I thought I was going to be sent home when the mw checked me after 2 hrs but she said I was 6cm and to go and get in the pool!

I had to get out after pushing for half an hour though, as his head was right there but he wasn't coming out. :(

He had shoulder dystocia and body dystocia. Fortunately he came out with a bit of help from the mw, with no broken bones or any other side effects, and I did not need a single stitch! It was a bit worrying for a few minutes with alarms going off and loads of people running in, but we were very lucky and had excellent care. Think he may be my last baby though..!

Congratulations OI our first puddle baby!

Hope you are both doing well, how much did he weigh? Ahh newborn smell

Nothing exciting here just a very upset ds who won't sleep and sobs every morning at school, very fed up dd as there's no spaces for her anywhere and also slowly getting things organised for dc3, figured now I'm 25wks I should do something to prepare.

Bloody hell! I lost you!

Congratulations OI !!!

How are you both doing now?

Well I just unpacked, we didn't get the loan so its a 6mnths saving unless we find another type of loan/grant we can apply for. I'm happier here when I have all my stuff out so that's what we've done.

Congratulations OI!

Oh bugger State :(

Makes sense to have all your things around you. I would sit down and set a date for when you want to be out by and really work hard to make that happen. Gives you something to look forward to rather than feeling shit that your stuck there for the time being.

Empress Good luck!

Hello strangers!

massive congratulations OI so thrilled for you.

Apologies for being a rubbish Puddlehumper, real life shite going on and although I have been using MN it has been mainly on threads that I don't have to think about, ie I don't have to think about anything other than what I read there and then.

Can't even be bothered to get it all out and tell you all about it, its a bit raw (all is ok with baby by the way).

Just getting on with stuff, not fab but not horrendous - just plodding along and waiting for things to settle.

However to lighten my mood. Things to look forward to:

Friend's hen party on Saturday (involves eating yummy food so it's a winner)

My birthday shortly after - weeeeeeee!! *

12 week scan the week after

Friend's wedding shortly after

Halloween have skipped a month, October is boring

Bonfire night

DD's birthday

Christmas

Easter/baby here.

Sorted.

* I want to do something on Sunday (to celebrate my b'day) but don't know what. All weather dependant. I'm in NW England; North Wales and Penines, West Yorks, Lakes all reachable - if not knackering, but I need to escape for the day. WWYD?
