See? Panicking works!

stac Sorry everything's falling apart at the moment. Are you alternating Nurofen/Calpol every 2-3 hours for R? Is she still feeding ok? Hope dp's mum gets over this infection quickly.
I do spoon feed S at breakfast and tea but all he's just gone fussy. I suppose he won't starve himself so I've just got to relax and let him take his time to do what he wants. He's not having maffis bfs at the moment either so I'm sure he's not filling up on milk.

cake I quite liked the other x-men films, complete garbage story-wise but I not-so-secretly think wolverine is fab - mostly because I'd love to have retractable claws!

spirael wow! well done you Make sure you get something absolutely lovely that you love but would never buy for yourself! I'm very jealous, I don't ever win anything, DH and I joke that we're possibly the unluckiest people in terms of competitions and career changes. If anything big is going to be changed at work/school it'll be done at the most inconvenient time for us, every.single.time!

Ooh needle I didn't know! I'll take my knitting into town with me and knit a few rows on a bench somewhere, I wish I was part of a knitting group, t'would be fun I think!

DH keeps inviting work colleagues round for lunch ( I say 'keeps', today will be the 4th in 6 months) which is fine but I never know what to cook. Today I think it'll be sweet chilli chicken with erm...I was thinking a rice salad but they always taste really plain - anyone have any tips on making it delicious?
For pud I'm undecided, might make one of my mum's easy-as-pie lemon whips, takes 5 mins (literally) and DH likes it.

Can I just say that I really like all you ladies, thanks for all the support and the laughs. I'm so glad I joined this thread all those months ago!

chulita this time next week Ill have a hangover lol, but yes and married

Dylan didnt want to go to sleep last night because of my niece being here he was all up and buzzing. He went to sleep at half 9, I went at half 10 and he literally woke all night long.

Any other night I wouldnt care but Im not going to get to bed til about 2am tonight.

mlic we row about it everytime. Doesn't change anything. He got home at 3:15 without his keys, so I had to go down and let him in, then g was up at half three and didn't go down till half four. I've had about 2 hours sleep.

Ok, ladies, I really think I'm going mad. I have a memory of last night DH telling me that he's having an affair, but that he was not going to mention it again and that I should pretend nothing is going on. This morning I have absolutely no idea if it really happened or not. I can't imagine that I would just roll over and go to Bed with him if he really did tell me that, but the memory is sooo clear.

Erm...ask him today for sure. I have stupidly vivid dreams that seem like reality but I'd definitely ask him. If it was a dream you can shrug it off, but if you don't ask it'll annoy you forever. If he did say it (hopefully not) and caught you while you were still half-asleep you might not have registered properly. Really, really hope it was just a dream

OMG Needles thats weird, the only way ur going to know is if u ask him? Can u do that
mylife thanks for the recipie, looks straight forward enough, do u brown the mince before hand?
stac how id R seeping now?
DHless than a week and u will be a married woman!!!!! How exciting!! where u going tonight?

Well thursday night i kept D up later and he slept from 7.45 to 6am without a peep! Amazing.........last night however was a very different story, he woke at 4.15 and was awake for an hour and a half, i tried every trick in the book to settle him, even tried him in my bed, that just made him worse(DH is out over night) he did go off in the end for an hour and a half and i just lay in bed awake! Therefor im very tired. gota go to a party in the park this morning to and i sooooooo dont feel like it.

mlic lovely lie-in for you, very jealous! I've been awake if not up at 5.20 every single day for weeks. DH got his lie-in today so I'm getting back in bed after the first feed tomorrow and not getting up til I'm good and ready!

morning all,

Lady A woke up upset about something at 5amish but managed to settle her back down til 8am. as F's at our friend's house, it was a lie-in for us both

I now have a child-free couple of hours as dh has taken A out for breakfast. About to have a lovely bath and I'm attempting to book a quick sand-blasting facial too.

stac how was R overnight? did you get her temp down?

chul i often think that about the thread. such a funny, interesting and lovely group of women and you've all been a maffis source of support and laughter to me too - thank you all! it scares me to think i could have easily missed out on it given i wasn't on the thread when i was pg with A.

i also often think the women who live near you are fucking loons not to snap you up as a friend. i'd have had you bagged straightaway

needle hope it turns out just to have been a dream. def ask him, even it you say it as 'i had such a weird dream...'

good night out tsc?

at your 'joke' mlic

viksam I always brown my meat before putting it in the slow cooker.

spireal congratulations. You will definently have to tell is what you get and make sure its a lovely treat for yourself.

stac sorry you're having such a hard time at the moment. How are you feeling today?

needle yes ask him or it will drive you mad thinking about it if you dont. I'm sure it was just your half asleep angry self hearing things though.

chul re xmen. i usually love anything with a bit of mutancy/magic/aliens but the previous films never totally did it for me, they were watchable but not as good as they could have been, imo.

you'll be pleased to know that wolverine makes a cameo appearance

what's your stance on James McAvoy? he was sublime in this. he's not my cuppa earl grey looks-wise but he's turning out to be one of my fave actors.

oh and re S's eating. Sorry but A is basically a goat, eats anything except porridge but i know how you feel as F has always been Mr Not That Interested in Food - not at all fussy but not a big eater and will often just not be hungry.

i can;t tell you how much worrying i've done over his food intake and weight. i've realised lately that he goes in phases where he doesn't eat much but then will make up for it by an eating phase so i'm trying to just chill and let him get on with it, albeit i try to stuff calories/fat into his food wherever i can

vik I would brown the mince personally, it takes out excess fattyness from it!
mlic Im so glad to see W pants too I thought it was L taking more dog traits!!!
cakes X Men are some of the best films ever, but I am a Marvel geek, watching the cartoons growing up and reading the comics, its not about the storylines, I think its about perfecting the characters, im watching it next week with my mum, DH wont watch it with me as he watches Iron Man with me but gets humiliated enough watching that as I make him sit in the cinema to watch the secret snippets at the very end of the credits!! there is only normally us and a few other geeks watching it!! The last one I got so excited I clapped when I saw it and dh just shook his head and walked out!!!
Oh and James McAvoy, he is my guilty pleasure, I love him, When he is in Wanted all oiled with his top off I dont care who is watching it with me I have to rewind it

He says its a dream. I'm just having a few issues with him at the moment. He's probably the most self centered person person these days, and I know its because he's half dead with stress and I really, really don't want to make it worse by getting on his back on top of everything else, but seriously, I can't take much more of his total lack of consideration. I feel so bloody neglected. he never gives me any time, he puts being able to smoke over spending time with me, so spends alll evening in his office, he snaps at me over nothing and expects me to forget it without a word.
I feel like such a bitch. work is a nightmare, his parents are both about to die and i'm whining that he'd not paying enough Attention to me.

I liked him in The Last King of Scotland - v good film.

x-posted needle. You're not a bitch. You're his wife and you deserve some consideration. My parents have both died and it didn't make me act like that to dh (I hope!)

needle do you believe him re the dream? and what wss said

mlic don't you watch many films? i've seen him in quite a few films (admittedly we watch 2 or 3 films a week) - Last King of Scotland is brill as wss said, he's also the faun in The Lion, Witch and The wardrobe, Starter for Ten, and Wanted that memph perves over mentioned. Haven't got around to seeing him in Atonement but that's supposed to be good.

mlic the thermometer thing we have goes in colours her was in red normal is blue slight temp is yellow. Her whole body is roasting and I wouldn't have bothered anyone except that she went from normal to burning within the hour. She was only wearing a tshirt and nappy so it wasn't as if it was her clothes. she's definitely ill.

viks her sleeping was doing great but bit rubbish due to hight temp. How you?

Yeah chu doing the calpol/brufen with her. Would the rice dish not be ok because there's a lot of flavour in the chicken. Aw and I like you too.

wss did a get to her class?

Thanks dythlan I'm ok how you?

cakes he's gorgeous, quite proud he's scottish

needles you most certainly are not a bitch, no wonder you feel the way you do.

tsc how was your night out? Did you and dp sort a budget for his trip?

dh how was your niece last night? Did she have fun with dylan?

memphis how you?

cakes I have owned the last king of Scotland for over a year and not watched it, I even found him sexy as a faun!!! But I watch Attonement because he was in it eventhough Keira Knightley is a drip and a rubbish actress and I thought it was dire, a waste of a few hours of my life, but a lot of people like it, I thought the same about Benjamin Button, it got loads of awards and I got to the end and thought Seriously????the bit where she is doing ballet on the pavillion with him watching was laughable I dont know one person who wouldnt say get down you idiot your humiliating yourself!!!
needle It doesnt matter how shit someones life is it doesnt mean they shouldnt consider other around them, I feel neglected if dh is busy for a few nights and my feelings get ignored.

Yes she did stac, she loved it. She's really into climbing and stuff so she had a great time. Dh took her, then they went to the supermarket so I ahd a quietish morning (tho G still sick).
Hope R is better soon.

NIght all, I'm off to bed here
