May 2009 toddling along...

[momino]

here we are. How long will this thread last?

On phone so will be brief. Cupboard, I wholeheartedly agree with the others. Thinking of you. X

Cupboard, agree with the others - that was the right thing to do! oherwise, you could wait and wait.... you need to move forward, he needs to decide if he's up for the ride.

How are you today? are you keeping busy? do you have RL support nearby? thinking of you and sending a big hug.

Hi Regg, how are you? had a good night out at the pub (had two pints, gasp!). Dh has another few 1st stage interviews coming up which both would mean a move from York but very early days so not really allowed to worry about that as yet.

Belgina, you ok today?
Doing some work now courtesy of inlaws babysitting so must get back to it.

Hope everyone else is well.

Hi there, remember me?!!?

Just thought I'd pop in & say hi. I always manage to keep up with reading but never get round to posting.

Cupboard Hope you're okay. I can understand why you gave your DH an ultimatum, all the stress & uncertainty isn't good for you.

Momino Glad you managed a night out. Hope your DH gets a job soon.

Dandy glad you had such a good holiday.

Belgina How are you today? Hope you're managing to take it easy even though you are moving.

Flip glad all is well with you.

Reggie glad your op went well. Hope you've managed to stop your ds using you as a trampoline!!

Hello too to Running, pika llare, Reggie, smokey, Omnom, Febes & ses

It's been an eventful few weeks here. DH has gone to visit his family. Ds1 refused to go so its been quite full on looking after the dc, but I've quite enjoyed it.

My gran passed away last week. The hospital was closed to visitors and she past away hours before the visiting was due to recommence :( Sad but she had a good life.

Dh has agreed that we can ttc next month :)
Sometimes I think Im mad as ds2 is a little monkey. He always seems to be up to some kind of mischief!

DH has quit job in states and coming home tmoro.

I am hoping this is a real step in the right direction for us

Hi everyone I'm back! The house is absolutely lovely and I'm shattered. DH and I are still amazed at the amount of space we have now. Except for the kitchen which has only narrow cupboards and no drawers and I'm struggling to find a spot for the cutlery and big pots and pans and things like the steamer.

According to my tests I'm still pregnant. I've had no further fresh bleeding, just old, IYKWIM. Sorry if TMI. I've avoided the heavy lifting, sticking to emptying boxes. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard. DH has annoyed me too by not showing all that much concern. E.g. The day I bled he came home and he greater me with the words "any dinner left?" as if nothing had happened. After a few more incidents like it I got angry and he started to be a bit more considerate. I know it's a busy time for us, but it's not my fault this happened at the same time as moving house. Actually we've been arguing a lot lately and ds has noticed. He said this morning that he wished it was summer as in summer DH and I don't argue as much

cupboard how are you? I agree with what the others said. Hope you're ok.

momi I hope your DH's interviews work out well :)

muddled hi! Nice to see you again. Sad news about your GM. Hope you're ok.

Hi llare, reggie, dandy, flip and anyone else I haven't nc'ed.

Oh, just noticed my x-post with you, cupboard, I hope it is a step forward, as you said.

Sorry - I seem to have a lot to catch up on!

cupboard - I think your DH's decision shows that you did the right thing in your previous conversation with him. I really hope that this now helps you come to the right decision about the way forward. Thinking of you.

Belgina - Really sorry to hear about you stressful week. So hard to know when you've been bleeding and still getting +ve results. Have you got an appointment/scan with the EPU in the next few days? Keeping everything crossed for you.
As for arguments with DH, I'm sure moving house and ttc are two of the most stressful things couples go through. I hope things calm down on that front for you.
The new house sounds great though and I hope you enjoy making it home over the coming weeks.

muddled - sorry to hear about your gran. Has the funeral happened yet or is that this week?
Good luck with ttc! I can't believe our little monkeys babies are going to be 2 soon!

Reggiee - hope your recovery is going ok.

Momino - hello! Goos luck to your DH with th upcoming interviews.

Right O needing attention so sorry to anyone I've not NCed. I'll try and be back later.

ses hi. Thanks for your kind words. You're probably right re DH and me arguing. Now most of the boxes are cleared it's even more clear how much space we've got. C is absolutely loving it. She can't seem to believe her luck with all that space for running around and causing general mayhem. In fact she doesn't even get upset when Ieave the house anymore; no, she shouts bye (or rather dye, which is a mix between Dutch "dag" and English "bye" and must sound rather morbid to random strangers") and closes the door behind me :o
Dd1 has made friends with the neighbours too, who are all girls.
And the neighbour gave DH the keys to his van so we can pick up the last big bits of furniture. How nice is that?!

Hope you're all having lovely Sundays :)

belgina glad you are pleased with the new house and what lovely new neighbours :) I really hope you are ok too. It must be horrible not being sure what is going on. Can you get seen at the EPU again? Sorry you and DH are arguing, interesting what your DS said though as I notice that DH and I argue a lot more in winter... something to do with being couped up in the house a bit more I think.

cupboard hope you and DH are having a good face to face talk now x

muddled sorry for your loss.

momi good luck for your DH and his interviews.

reg hope you are recovering well.

llare hope you are relishing your last week in your job :o

Hello to everyone else, off to see Black Swan tonight with a couple of girlfriends. Am looking forward to it but not sure I'll be able to stay awake for a whole film!

runnin enjoy the film tonight.
True about what you said about being cooped up in winter. Maybe now we're in a bigger house it'll be better cause we'll have more space

Well, I bled again yesterday and it stopped again a little while later too. It's soo confusing. The GP has agreed that it's a good idea to stay home until I know what's going on after my rescan. So I'm off work now for a week. Fingers xed for no more bleeding and a good scan result.

belgina - keeping everything crossed for you, hope you can take it easy this week. Congratulations on the new house!

cupboard - thinking of you, hope all works out for the best for you and the family, whatever that may be.

dandy - hope you are ok after the rollercoaster of testing.

momino - hope something turns up for your DH soon, hope all ok with you.

muddled - I'm sorry to hear your news.

Hello everyone else!

All ok here, I'm on my own with the girls this week as DH is away again. Ok so far, but I'm really tired and quite queasy.

Oooh, was it something I said?!

Lol, flipping. I daren't come on here for fear of boring everyone with my pregnancy saga. I haven't had any further big bleeding since Sunday, when I had a big sudden gush, just some bits on wiping. I keep trying to do this stupid thing and try to find a heartbeat, even though I know it's way too early for that. I just want to know what's going on! Can't wait until Monday, no matter what the result would be.

cupboard how are you? Is your DH home now?

A big wave to everyone else :)

Belgina - I'm absolutely certain that no one would be bored by your posts, just pleased you can offload and happy to listen & support.

Flip - I hope your time whilst your DH is away is continuing to go well.

Cupboard - I think your DH must be home now so hope things are progressing for you and you don't feel so much in limbo.

running - how was the film?

Reggiee - hope your recovery continues to go well.

All ok here. DH and I have booked a table at our favourite restaurant for Friday night as we've not had any "couple time" for months. Really looking forward to it :)

Hello everyone else - Momino, Febes, Dandy, Llare, muddled and anyone else around!

hi ladies.
am not on here as often as I wish...
dare I say we are nearingthe end of this thread? is it 500 max? could it be???!

Cupboard, all best wishes to you with your DH. I'm so glad for the willingness to communicate. hope all goes well.
Running, hope you stayed awake for the film. was it any good?
Belgina, hope you're resting and feeling well. I would be the same trying to test for a heartbeat! it must be difficult for you to wait. Do come on here to off load any worries, etc.

Ses, love the sound of a date. Hope you have a lovely time and looking forward to the meal review.

Flip, good to see you. hope the queasiness (gosh, how DO you spell that) goes away soon. hope you're also able to rest even though you're a solo parent this week.

muddled, good to see you as well. sorry about your gran. but positive, happy news about ttc! good luck.

DH has had a few more interviews with the strongest opportunity being in Liverpool. 'twould mean a move from York . it's still uncertain as no offer has been made as yet and DH and I not positive it's The Job to call us away from York.

Anyone know any nice commutable villages/cities near liverpool? we thought of chester which is so like York but hard to know where the schools are. Saw a thread here on MN but just made me more confused.

like I said, early days. I don't want to think about moving just yet.

Hope everyone is well otherwise. If this thread is indeed nearly finished, ideas for new Thread titles welcome!

Hello all!

belgina - the time must be dragging for you, the waiting is so horrible, isn't it.

ses - at your night out, hope you have a lovely time!

cupboard - hope things are ok x

momino - good that there's a few more interviews, something must come up soon. Chester is nice but bits are v pricey; some bits of Cheshire are full of footballers but the rest is much more normal! There are some lovely bits of North Wales too, don't know how you'd feel about that?

Still feeling queasy, and now I have a cold too. Don't know if you've seen my garage saga on FB (please don't mention my current 'status' on there!!)? Anyway, someone tried to break in to the garage, or at least damaged the door, on Monday night so I've been tryig to sort that out. Insurance co being very helpful, police much less so. Garage is secure now (and all the good bikes are in the house!) but I still need to get the lock changed. What a faff! I'm shattered because i was up until midnight with the emergency locksmith and then A woke up at 4; fortunately I maged to get her back to sleep in my bed and we slept until about 6.30. I ought to go to bed now really!

Catch up soon.

Belgina big hugs from me- I hope you are taking it easy. I'll be thinking about you on Monday

Cupboard hope that you and DH can talk things through- it's positive that he's come home

Reggiee hope you are recovering well

hello Muddled

well baby-brain has definitely hit- I looked at my wrist this morning and realised I was wearing 2 watches! I feel like I am functioning in a mental fog.

Momino There are some nice countrysidey bits of west Lancs that are commutable to Liverpool. I quite like the town Southport but you should ask Jenn as she originally hails from round there I think.
Liverpool city centre has improved a lot recently and is pretty good for shopping but I can understand you not wanting to leave York as it's such a nice place.

Sorry, I had to LOL a bit at Southport - DH told me once that Southport is full of swingers! (he's from Wigan, and yes, some bits of Lancashire are lovely. Other bits very much less so!)

well, it certainly got chatty in here for a moment, eh? [bsmile] lovely to see you all and thanks for the advice, I'll start some searching...

here we go. onto the next thread. long may it last!

'tis very chatty
hope you feel less queasy soon - I'm still suffering at 23 weeks but find that sour cream pringles go down a treat and make me feel much better!

at Southport being full of swingers- well I never knew...
My elderly next door neighbour goes there for her hols

you have given me a giggle- I do think Southport is nice though, except there is a high chance of bumping into a crowd of Liverpool footballers on a night out
Does your DH like pies?

oooo hadn't noticed the Burns night smilies [bsmile]

Hey!

So I was a bit eager. So it is 1000 posts (where did I get 500?). I think we'd been on this for so long I lost my mind.

anyway, have new thread - do you want to jump across? would you mind? as Belgina said, a bit of a change. it might do us good.

Sorry for the mixup and .
