Hello Ladies,

Here is the 4th WIIT thread for our enjoyment.

Stats will have to follow at a later date, as I can't check back to see where everyone is accurately at the moment.

Get posting and lets see where this thread takes us. :)

Aw couldn't you find them a small role in one of your shows?

bebejones · 31/03/2012 17:30

Oh bum!

Although I've probably had enough excitement for one day! Mad dash to Gloucester and back with a poorly tiny human! (Although not so ill that she couldn't muster the strength to go to her friend's party...sign of things to come Hmm)

Quodlibet · 31/03/2012 18:20

Harpie I tried to bargain with the elephants but they said it wasn't in their contract and stormed off Hmm

Bebe oh no! What was wrong with the small human.

I have put up a spice rack today, and run my 5km. Feeling very pleased with myself!!

bebejones · 31/03/2012 18:31

Quod - send the elephants this way they might cheer DH up! He's driving me bananas! Being a MOG (miserable old git) and just needs a good shake!

Ok, possible TMI alert! Tiny human screamed and sobbed her little heart out this morning when trying to wee and said it hurt her Sad she had a couple of accidents on thurs (unlike her) and then hardly went at all yesterday. Now got a temp of 38.8 but says it's not hurting anymore. Doc at hospital (out of hours gp service) said with UTIs in kids they take 'treat first, ask questions later' approach but couldn't find anything wrong with her sample (that was fun trying to get that Hmm) so who knows! Got some ABs in case she is in pain again!

Lol @ mystical sleeping through. That's fab strawberry

Oh bugger harpie. :( but we keep saying its not over till the wicked AF arrives.

Who is next for POAS action?

Sorry to hear about mini being unwell bebe, will you be starting her on the ABs or not?

OP posts:
bebejones · 31/03/2012 23:00

Have started tiny on the ABs coz she said it still hurt a bit and her temp shot up (was 36.4 at hospital (normal) and 38.8 about 4pm ish) Poor girl asked to go to bed at 6.30 Sad

H is pissing me off! Big Time!!!! He's so f'in grumpy and foul tempered (yes I know I've not exactly been Mary Poppins lately) but it's different with him. It's like he doesn't want to be around us or involved at all, everything is a chore! We have to take DD to ballet rehearsal in Cheltenham tomorrow, it's 2.5 hours and it's about half hour drive away. I don't want to come home while she's there in case there is an emergency and I'm needed (she is only 3 FFS) plus it's a waste of petrol!! I also don't want to go and sit in my own in the car for 2.5 hours. So I thought we'd go, get some lunch, keep each other company, have a look around. He's being a twat about it! Moaning on about it being 'waste of time' all he'd do at home is sit and play on the computer/work/watch TV, God forbid he should actually gave to communicate with his WIFE!! Angry tip of the iceberg of twatish behaviour/attitude, he's really pissing me off, I don't want to sit around either but it's a sacrifice for DD so I'm being a grown up and sucking it up and getting on with it!! He's been like this since he for home in Friday, wish he'd F off again and come back in a better mood. He was a real prick about taking DD to see doctor earlier too Angry

Anyway am on my phone and ranting and my thumb hurts!!! Grin sorry to bore u all and go off on one! Just needed to get it off my chest!

bebejones · 31/03/2012 23:02

Loads of typos, sorry Blush

leftwingharpie · 01/04/2012 07:02

Oh Bebe I'm sorry nobody replied last night. How are you feeling this morning? Hope H is in a better mood and gets his priorities in a better order today. DH can be just the same we've had massive rows when he hasn't wanted to do family stuff. It's a good idea to have a wander round Cheltenham together. I don't see how you can leave DD half an hour away when she's 3yo and not well.

100years it was the result I wanted really. Only a few more weeks till I'll qualify for maternity benefits (assuming I end up staying in the job) and only 5 weeks to TBT it wouldn't be great timing and DH would have been Mr Catbumface.

Quod must be next to POAS. Or you?!!

bebejones · 01/04/2012 09:07

S'ok, didn't expect anyone to, was kinda late! :)

H is still snoring Angry upstairs. (As he did all night) I got up to tiny human in the night, her temp was 40 poor thing, thankfully it's come back down to 38 & she's actually quite perky & doesn't seem to be in pain when she wees anymore! Not really sure what's going on & if it is a UTI or not, but she doesn't have any other symptoms other than the temp & the pain yesterday! Confused

If it wasn't for the fact that this is the final rehearsal (show is on Thurs) I'm not sure DD would be going today (although she seems fine apart from the temp) if she doesn't do this rehearsal she can't do the show & that would be horrid :(

Glad you are not too disappointed bout the BFN, fingers crossed that your DH sticks to his word after TBT. Can't believe how quickly that seems to have come around!

Deffo Quod or 100 to POAS next!

leftwingharpie · 01/04/2012 09:32

Just got up to find AF had arrived. So that's me out of the running... until next time!

Glad mini human is perky this am, even if you had a bad night. Isn't it amazing how fresh children can look on almost no sleep!

Yes TBT is really close now, we could do with sorting out a few more things and maybe doing some clothes shopping Grin!

Quodlibet · 01/04/2012 09:44

Angry at MrBebe being so self-centred! But like Harpie said, we all have those type of arguments (MrQ has gone to see his parents by himself this weekend because we both appreciate that they do drive me a bit bonkers, though there was certainly discussion about why he was going on the last weekend we have together for months....anyway). I hope your little one feels better today and enjoys her dancing.

Yes I suppose I am most likely next up for testing, on Friday probably (unless 100 gets in first?). FF is slightly confused this month (as am I) so I'm not sure if I'm 8dpo, 6dpo or what!

Realised the other day that we've used precisely 1 condom since November. So clearly I don't share my mum's and sister's uber-fertility-get-pregnant-by-looking-at-a-penis tendency. I know logically it's all a toss of the dice every time yada yada, but it is a bit of a mental adjustment, having spent the last 20-odd years believing that I'd get inevitably get pregnant immediately if I didn't use contraception.

Harpie I'm glad you're not too disappointed. I can't believe how quickly TBT has come around - didn't you book it with 8 months to go? I'm glad the national parks have been reinstated - you must be excited. I am a bit jels.

leftwingharpie · 01/04/2012 09:57

I know what you mean about contraception Quod so many years of utter paranoia and now doing perfectly well on guesswork alone!

bebejones · 01/04/2012 10:02

Tiny human currently running around the house shaking a mini maraca, think she's feeling well enough for ballet! :o

Harpie - any excuse to go clothes shopping!! Wink

Quod - :( & Angry at your DH

Quodlibet · 01/04/2012 11:15

I know - I am finding it hard to be cross with him today though, he's had an amazing review in a national broadsheet, which makes it all seem worthwhile for a change!

bebejones · 01/04/2012 12:53

Fabby news! Yay! Hopefully things will pick up again for him/you now!

bebejones · 02/04/2012 12:09

Sorry, RANT ALERT! (I know that's all I seem to do these days, you are all saints for putting up with me!)

DH did the online shopping last night, I had written a list, he checked a couple of items as he went along. Shopping turns up this morning. At least 3 of the things I had requested for me & DD were the Value options instead of our usual ones. A couple of these items (at least) are disgusting & will probably be wasted. He has ordered for himself (and they are for him as they aren't things either DD or I would have) a load of brand name drinks (and I mean a load, 2 x 2l bottles, 4 x 1l bottles & 16 x cans, plus a litre of something different), plus strawberry doughnuts that I don't like & that DD is only allowed at weekends as a treat plus idividual deserts (again, that I don't like & DD can't have). I am so Angry. I'm not sure if he's done it to cut cost, or (more likely) he's just not paid attention & clicked on either the first thing or the cheapest without looking. I was sat right next to him, he could have asked! I know it probably seems really trivial & sounds like I'm being really selfish when I should be grateful, but it just feels like again I'm the one making 'sacrifices' because of a situation forced on us by his work situation (and yes I know in the grand scheme of things it's not really a big deal). I won't get any more money for 2 weeks (I'm technically self-employed remember, & don't get any money until after the pay run) I've just had to pay DDs preschool fees, ballet fees, drama fees & music fees, buy her new shoes, underwear & plimsols & fill the car up with petrol. It's pretty much cleaned me out all bar the money I've had to keep hold of to pay my credit card/loan this month so don't even have the spare cash to go to Tesco & replace the crappy items. :( Don't feel like I can even say to him as he'll just get the hump & say that he was the one doing it & if I wasn't happy I should do it myself next time.....except he bloody offered!!!! Fed up, but at least we have food in the house, and plenty of people don't

Sorry for going off on one, yet again, just sort of topped off a fairly crappy weekend!

Hope everyone else is having a better start to the 4 day week? And at least the sun is still shining even if it is bloomin' freezing!!

Quodlibet · 02/04/2012 12:44

Oh what a pain! Maybe all the drinks were on multi-buy specials?? Still though, I would bring it up if I were you, hump or no hump (but then I think I am much more confrontational generally than you are!) But really, you can't go on feeling like you and DD are getting short shrift from him. In the grand scheme of things I think it is quite a big deal. It doesn't sound like a money issue really to me - it sounds like it's the perceived lack of thought/care/attention towards you and DD that's really pissing you off (fair enough.)

bebejones · 02/04/2012 13:11

They were on multi-buys, but still, how much does one man need to drink? Neither of us drink tea or coffee really (I might have a coffee if I'm out) so he has all of that & bought a 1l bottle of cheap squash for me & DD to share. Just feel that he's only really thinking of himself all the time, and this is how his actions/mood over the weekend came accross too. Like anything DD or I wanted/needed to do was an inconvenience!

You are right about me & confrontation, I have to be really sure that I'm going to win if I go into something!! I never win with DH...Hmm
