FESH Spa & Creche - The Messiah is late - 'e's a very naughty boy!

[AlpinePony]

2010 - the best year of my life, for half of it I was pregnant and for the other half had my baybee.

Artie is perfecting his rolling, unfortunately he cannot do front to back so keeps getting stuck on his front and wailing. aibu to find it funny?

silv Wind? Or teething? Teething can cause tummy upsets and funny poo too.

at cos and casp who are both obviously blinded by my definitely-not-glam M&S mummy jeans (the shame!) covering up my jelly belly and super-sized bum!

Oh and cos - YABU. I have alerted SS, obv.

I have now emptied six boxes and the kitchen is nearly sorta finished. AIBU to now run a bath while MrP is still bravely struggling around Ikea then supermarket with both kids in tow?

Get in the bath quick fanny before they get back!

I am happy to do weekday or weekend, as long as TG is around for sprog duty. Most of march is free for us apart from when TG is gaming, but I can't remember which weekend that is, will check when I get home. Can't bloody wait!

I won't be able to do weekdays after 1st March. Well, I won't be working Wednesdays, but that is my day with Li'l Thunderpants so poor form to sag off to a spa I think

So weekends are ok, or later in the year, say May or June, when I can take a few days off work without feeling as if I'm taking the proverbial.

i'm going to try to head to fb and start a planning thread! Will get fanny sorted via email.

casp that sounds hilarious ! Getting ya fanjo sorted via email.

silv I exist only to provide peurile amusement for you through my choice of MN name.

And apols to all for being a fb refusenik. Just think it is evil, world-dominating, privacy-snatching force for bad. (Though also am probably just a luddite who would not get the hang of all the privacy setting thungummies everyone goes on about. May give it a try one of these days - if one of you young things can give me some tutelage.)

I had the bath by the way. Was lovely!

of the bath.

I think Squeaks might have an ear infection - she's been unwell for over a week and is now ear-tugging, off food and very irritable

and that's why I've only just got around to posting about the real spa and creche on FB.

fanjapanni I needs to have a facebook cull. Lots of "friends" are on there and don't post and use it to be nosey. Glad you had the bath. So did I after putting MB to bed and I bloody fell asleep in it.

silv Wot like this y'mean? rrhorsetrucks.nl/2paardstrucks 'tis already on the lust list and Jailbait has approved - but I think it's a total waste of money to attend ~20 competitions a year.

pols I've got 3 things to say to you. i) So sorry you're feeling shit, get pills. ii) BF is not the be-all and end-all. iii) There are enough FESHes to show that exclusively BF babies are not actually immune to all illnesses. (So pls not to feel guilty - there's a discussion on rasta about me & Curly stopping and I have no regrets whatsoever. Fecking hated it.)

cunty Yep, I hear you re: hols. That's why we came home early - I felt I needed to sleep and have access to my own kitchen/bathroom type stuff.

I won't be able to make any spa visit and also a bit "put out" about general moans about people hating their bodies tbh. I've spent all my life battling a genuine weight problem and having skinny minnies poke their non-existant tummies in front of me and say "omg I'm soooooo fat, I like so totally need to lose 4lbs - I'm G to the R to the O to the double-ess". I'm 37 and I'm through with that.

cunty I am planning a trip up the M2 - wednesdays you say? I don't think I can get over now until April but I'd love to meet the ESHes which can make it. Cocktails & cake?

We moved house and aside from feeling like I've done 5 rounds with Tyson it's all good. Bear was a little star and of course he got bored being strapped in to various chairs over the course of the weekend but now he can run freeeeee. Jailbait's taken him for the HV appointment this morning and is it wrong to have a sweepstake on his weight?

curly We may be meeting in Edinburgh in the summer, she chinese-burned me on saturday!

PS Please to make February ESH challenge on rasta something like this?

The giraffes are my favourite. Although I still like the one I've got of Bear sat on Ginger.

Happy Valentine's Day you lot. I don't usually give a flying fuck about it but today was the day last year that Peppa was conceived. The door bell rang at 6.55 this morning. No, it wasn't overly expensive rip off flowers but a delivery of steak which Mr C is cooking tonight. Ahhh, how romantic, slabs of raw fillet steak in a box

Quotes of the weekend, "Okie, can you take Moon Dog out of Peppa's face" and "Okie, can you remove you foot from Peppa's head please" - you have to have eyes in the back of your bonce. (Moon Dog is a plastic dog thing that goes in a plastic rocket to space)

Over in our world, valentines day started around 1.30am with the beginnings of a lovely D&V virus which kept me awake and padding round the house all night. Rastus hasn't adjusted back to his routine and is crotchety with a second tooth. The great gallumping men are here to fit some new windows (one is Quite Fit) and just as they arrived so did the Ocado delivery so i'm now wiped out in a way only someone with a virus can be :-(

Meanwhile, upstairs, rastus has been put down for a nap to try and re-regulate him and the window fitters are hammering for britain. Naturally rastus sleeps through it like an angel, whereas in the early hours i only have to clear my throat or turn over for him to be awake and clutching at the bars...

alps yes the EquiCruiser! Divine. Like you have no need for a wagon. Have feeling I am gonna regret chucking hoss out without hood on rug. Field is like a mud bath and hoss thinks it's a hippo.

Wrt weight - I know I don't look like I need to lose the two stone I've gained but I would like to tone up my tum so that it doesn't feel like I am tucking it inside my pants whenever I get dressed.

rubytues oh no! Nasty!! Typically these things happen when you least need them too.

Sounds nightmarish Cunty. Hope you feel better soon and you get some peace to put your feet up.

FP I bet you are gorgeous. So shuddup. And come to the spa! Are you sure we can't tempt you with cocktails and massage Alps? And jacuzzis. And cocktails. Did I mention that I will be needing booze?

Well TG has outdone himself. And in a good way you will be pleased to hear! Last night we started talking about my birthday (40th in Sept... wahhhh!) as mum has offered to have the girls and the pigdog if TG would like to take me away for a weekend. I obviously snorted with derision when mum said this as he is in no way what you could call romantic but I digress. TG says 'ooh brilliant, where would you like to go?'. 'Er...' I say as I wasn't exactly prepared. 'Well I was thinking' says he (cue shock on my part) 'How about Venice?' My chin nearly hit the floor and my face split in half I reckon! I'd bloody love to go to Venice but wouldn't have suggested anywhere outside the UK as I honestly thought he wouldn't want to go...

And then, if that wasn't enough, I've just had an interflora delivery of beautiful tulips in a giftbag type thing with OTT red heart shaped 'I love you' balloon. He has never bought me flowers from the garage, let alone sent a bouquet. He usually says that flowers are bought by men because they are feeling guilty or they want something. I love tulips - he was obviously listening recently when a friend bought me some and I was so pleased. The fact I chose them for my wedding bouquet obviously passed him by.

It will be a little bit harder to go to my doctors appt today and plead PND when I am feeling rather special.

Pol are you sure there are from TG?! .

Cunts what is D&V? . Sorry you are feeling shite though, what you need is a holiday.

shit and puke okes. rules in this house today too :(

That?s lovely Polly - maybe he is feeling guilty about the gaming debacle, but sounds like he?s done a good job there. Good luck at the doctor later.

Well he has taken the credit Okes!

Thanks Medee.

polls bouquet sounds gorgeous. HI used to be good and buy flowers a fair bit not so much anymore. I've only ever been bought red roses once. On our wedding day. Very nice. My mother said "what's the point of that they'll be dead when you get back from the honeymoon ". Always one to make you feel better is my mother.

HI got me a card and a huge choc bar. Tho bit disappointed that the written words inside by him have previously been special and wonderful but this year the comments were "hugs and kisses" WTF! WTF! Ok I am prolly hormonal and over reacting but I wasn't expecting that.

Finally been to the quacks about me you know what's. Got some treatment prescribed so that should improve things. Must say it's not been my most dignified morning when quack requested a look.

Are we due any new FESH recruits?????

Yep Silv - am 12 days late and going for the ESH-record for longest ever pregnancy.

Have been off-roading with Boxer today to jiggle this lad out....didn't see much hunting but did manage to bomb along some pretty rutted tracks and fields so fingers crossed it does the trick!

Oh, Muse and Drom are getting pretty close too and could easily manage a queue jump.

Valentine fail in our house too....not even a card. MrCluck has just phoned to say he's just left the office so will be tackling M25 in rush hour so I don't expect to see him until gone 8

Good to hear TG is making an effort Pol - top marks. Sorry to hear you're having a rough time but well done you for recognising and wanting to fix it.

[bleurgh] at the D&V epidemic going on - fingers crossed it passes quickly.

Hom got me a swarowski red heart necklace from duty free on the plane on the way home. I was asleep next to him so he did the whole transaction leant across me and the bairn

ck1 I am home alone except for MB, k9 and the moggies. Man of the house is working. Quelle surprise.
