Mumsnet Little Italy 4

[Rosa]

Ciao - Everybody Welcome.

ahhhh, didnt realize you were half and half. DO you feel more english or italian?

It depends on where I am and who I'm with. I now feel foreign when in the UK, always did really but now it's more evident, and in Italy I'll always be the straniera because of my accent and maybe attitude. I feel more apolide than anything else I suppose....

I do support England in the football, though, must be a masochistic streak, a bit like DP being an Interista (although this year they got lucky).

Hhell, you have an echo

Not sure why i have an echo, weird.
One of the symptoms that i have jsut decided to start fretting over is having waves of feeling hot and waves of feeling freezing, so spent the night putting and removing the duvet. Normal?
Pippi is it your turn today to look after dd then? Have you started taking turns?

no DH has been very very good, they're spending lots of time together. no issue about lie in as DD slept through and got up at 8.
I feel a bit guilty about slagging him off, after all it was first week back at work after the holidays . and I might be more exhausted and emotional from pg than I think. they're going swimming afterwords.

wow,he sounds like a great guy your dh. you are probably freaking out about having no2, no?

SOunds like things are a bit better in the Pippi household thats good.
Here its grey and dull and not really much fun House still looks like a laundry and dh is slobbing on the divano ...But he did do teh washing up earlier so can't complain.

Is it normal to feel so effing tired so early in the pregnancy? I basically would sleep all day given a chance.

yes it is normal. I used to fall asleep everywhere when pg with ds. it's because you are covando un uovo
rosa have you packed for the canaries?
pippi, sounds like you had a lovely weekend.
god, ds is ALWAYS moving (mal di mare emoticon)

Che bello il sole delle Canarie...

oh bugger, dd has a mild temperature. can't send them to nursery tomorrow and she was only starting to settling in. not to mention that I need to go to comune to get stato di famiglia tomorrow and I have a waxing appointment, which i need desperately, I haven't waxed for 2 months

Can your mum look after her whilst you are waxing? First things first!

Yes, but my mum is busy during the day as well... also it is just so not the right time, as she was only starting to settle in... not to mention that on friday they are both booked to get the epatite b immunization without which (it's compulsory in Italy) they can't get thei certificato di vaccinazione, without which I can't iscriverli a scuoloa cazzo!

Franca - if she doesn't have a fever tomorrow just send her, no one will know (I know, I'm a bad mother). My DD has been a bit sicky this weekend and had a bit of a temperature this afternoon, but if she is cool and pimpante tomorrow morning then she's going to nursery. At the worst I'll get a couple of hours to get some work done before they call me, at the best the fever won't come back and she'll be fine. DD quite frequently gets these 1 day fevers then is fine, I don't see the point of keeping her off for days.

I would do the same.
Franca how do they compare italian and english nursery/schools? Which gives you a nicer feeling?

'morning.
yes hothell completely exhausted the first three months. Has nausea not started yet?
yes we did have a nice week-end. very relaxed and fair. I think we did get each other point.

franca have you sent her?

Hhell are you watching Damages with Glen Close?

uh, i love glen close, where is it on? and when? still no mega nausea on, odd queasiness, and off red meat and wine.
Off for my am nap, I reckon I need 2 naps a day to get through it, plus an ealy night. To be honest I am a bit fed up of being pregannt and feeilng so exhausted. ALREADY!

Aaargh, am in a super grumpy mood today. DD had the mother of all tantrums this morning and went to nursery with no breakfast and no morning wee. All because she didn't like her trousers. Is this a sign of things to come?[anxiety for the future emoticon]

DP is being a tosspot at the moment too, I think we're entering the loopy full moon phase (is it full moon yet?). He's just so rude and bad mannered, snapped at me really nastily because I was talking to him when he was reading his book. He cleaned the floors yesterday and actually put things in the dishwasher so he was on full martyrdom mood all day and being a checca isterica about throwing things away. That really gets on my wick, he always tries to throw things away perfectly good things because there's a tiny hole/it's slightly chipped/DD hasn't played with it for 2 weeks. I tell him he is solely responsible for most of the landfill in Lombardia.

brang what's wrong with men and wanting to get rid of thing and buy new? DH always want to replace perfectly functioning things: this week-end was the laptop because it's too slow (nothing to do with comp but connection and comp needs reinstalling), the cooker (element's gone) and microwave because it is not digital and he cannot set the exact minutes. If it was for him we'd be broke and ladfills full even here in the south-east .
how old is your dd again? mine has not shown any interset in clothes at all. we can go out in our pjs (we do and she would not care one bit. maybe it's because of me being pg and dressing like Helena Bonham Carter.

hhell Damages is on on sunday at 10.30pm (which I doubt you'll make it in your condition) or repeat tonight at 11.35. it's the second episode and it's very gripping.
have you seen Paul Theroux yesterday in prison in St Quentin? He's so good!

DD's 2.6 and started expressing opinions on her clothes a couple of months ago. FFS, she's the most stylish babe at the nursery as I refuse to put her in tute (hate the things).
Lol at the digital microwave, ours is the cheapest one going and doesn't even have seconds, if you want seconds you have to look at the kitchen clock. Luckily DP doesn't really use it much or I'm sure he'd be complaining.
Am at you lot with decent TV. We had Montalbano on last night for the first time in ages, sat down to watch it in eager anticipation only to find it was a repeat! You'd have thought that after months of it not being on la Rai would have at least made the effort to show a new episode!!!

didn't realise is the same age as mine!
mine is never in tuta either. I loathe them unless you are at the gin (Jeeez I sound like my dad that doesn;t not like trainers, wears a suit and a tie to this day despite having retired almost 30 years ago and thinks women should wear high hills ) I am very snobbish re her look actually. she's always the most stylish (previous childminder always mentioned it and desperatedly hinted I should give her dd's old clothes - NO WAY!). But it's more boho-shabby-chic tbh . she's hardly in dresses, hair hardly brushed and a shamble of styles! Like her mum!

I love boho chic.....but in Italy, or at least south of Italy, they really look down on me when ds wears boho stuff. In fact in the south of Italy all the kids seem to wear white polo necks, navy shorts and very combed hair. My ds is always a bit zozzo.
Might have to tape Damages, yesterday was in bed at 9, and struggled to get up this morning. When I did I shouted at ds about everything.

Bran might be the beg of terrible 2s style tantrums no? Ds never had clothes tantrums, but plently about not having the right cup to drink, not being to press the button of the traffic light, etc. I am amazed he is still alive to be honest.

dd is always a bit zozza too... !

pls do record it, you'll like it.

I am the one who throws things in our house if I left it to Dh we would get it put in a box ( it might come in handy)...He has a sore Tallone and said I thought I might wear those Oakley shoes as they have a soft sole. He bought them 4 years ago and has never worn them I hate them . I gave them to my Cleaner last year and her brother is wearing them in the Ukraine. Thankfully his tallone has got better and he hasn't mentioned them again ! MInd you I have far too much cr*p in my house and I should throw more out but I like memories !!
Hot all I wanted to do is sleep in the first 6 weeks but then I got better !!
Franca how is your dd. Nipotina had a febbre and aching bones for 2 days ...She kept saying her jaw hurt ! Funny Virus in giro at the moment
