fab feb 2011 ladies getting back in shape and sleeping till ten-yeah right!

[eggkr]

Hi all as im up first most mornings i thought id start a new thread before i bury pil under the patio

Ponyo - I'm so sorry about your dad, it's such a shame that Anya won't really know him.

blizy - I love the Hunger Games! Have you read the book? The film is v faithful to the book and I loved the book. The film did give me motion sickness though. Complete change of topic: we were actually at Duff House in Banff, I got it confused with Fyvie Castle so not actually at a castle.

L was great today, instead of just a series of tantrums like he had been doing. I think he's happy to have the house to himself again.

Do you do ee then deb cos it just wasnt working for me.I am more convinced than ever that im not normal weight loss wise. I seem to have done every diet now and it just doesnt work. When i did ww my friend was always saying "ooo ive had wine and cakes this week" abd she'd lose and i didnt! Same with the low carbing,i actually did it for awhole week and didnt lose an oz. Only thing i didnt do was give up tea and coffee but others didnt and stil lost I also couldnt drink the gallons of water they say cos i work in the community and visit houses that you dont want to sit down in never mind use the loo.
Im starting the gym again this week which im well excited about and going to do sw red days.If i still dont lose then im off to the drs.
Odd thing is though i have actually lost nearly a stone since last year so its going off but very very slowly.

Bit peed off tbh. Went to a comedy night last night with dh,bf and her new bf who i dont know. They stayed here which is fine cos they live in Brum but went clubbing after the com night when we came home. This meant they had to have a key and i heard them come in during the early hrs and then d woke up at 5.20 I have been downstairs trying to keep her quiet whilst they are asleep.I hope they dont do a pil and hang around all bloody day i want a quiet day with the girls,watch films and play draughts etc.

ledkr yes I do ee and lose weight well if I stick to it, BUT I have a lot more to lose than you do, that makes a difference. One other thing, you probably won't like it though , I have noticed that the slightly older ladies in my group tend to lose a lot slower than the younger ones. Like you say, you are losing, just slowly, which in the long term is better than staying the same or gaining. I bet you'll feel better going to the gym too.

5.20 though, that's harsh :( My two were up at 6.15 again but luckily for me DH was up at 5.30 with a headache so he got them up and fed whilst I lay in bed till 7 .

Morning ladies.

5.30 am ledkr, that is grim!

I am in bed watching the marathon coverage ( its soo tiring) with Dh and Alfie cat chasing and attacking our feet!
We have dh's aunt, uncle and little cousin coming later for a viewing of Alfie and afternoon tea ( which mil is providing). Such fun.

Hope you all have a nice Sunday.

Ponyo- how are you today? X

Thats true,its defo harder in your 40's grrr. You are right though,i used to love the gym so it will be good to start again.
Its silly cos its not as if i need to lose loads and i only want to get back into my 14.s i am verging on scruffy these days as im so reluctant to buy anything in a 16 iyswim. I have a package of 4 trousers from a lovely mumsnetter who offered them free so that should keep me going for a bit.
I think the low carb thing is totally unsustainable tbh,who can eat eggs for brekkie everyday and all that fat just mkes me feel sick and as for no fruit....arrrrrrgh im constipated beyond belief surely thats not good.
Going to defo do red days this week,i am defo weaned off my carbs addiction so that was worth it.

blizy 5.20 my friend not 5.30

Sorry ledkr, those 20 mins make all the difference.
Have you got rid of the visitors yet?

Ah well I suppose I had better get out bed now.

Morning all.

Oh ledkr 5.20 is the middle of the night, you are so good trying to keep her quiet, I'd be banging about letting everyone know I was up!

trying to watching the marathon, Imogen has a major problem when the tv is on and it isn't something she fancies watching.

Quiet day here, dh goes away for three days tomorrow. We had a meal out with his family last night and my dmum babysat. Yum yum.

Hope you are doing ok ponyo ? Thinking of you. Hope you managed to get some sleep. When my friend lost her dad a couple of years ago she took some herbal nytol for a week or so just to help her drop off to sleep. Xxxx

debka - Is that your first-ever lie-in since the girls?

ledkr - 5:20 is grim. I'm quite mean and wouldn't make too much effort to keep her quiet. If they wanted a long lie-in, they should've gone to a hotel. I'm quite a slow loser with weight too but have lost 17 lbs since August, finally back in my pre-preg clothes. I find it easy to keep it off too since I lose so slowly. Deffo get to the gym, I find a good workout makes me feel loads better.

I'm desperately trying to find the remote as the telly is stuck on CBeebies (which L didn't even watch ) and I think I may top myself if I have to watch Justin's House all day.

How come my kids dont watch tv? Id love it.Dilly just rocks mine to make me go and get her and then giggles. Ella has never watched tv either apart from the odd time.
Wow dills is hideous.Crying but wont be pacified,she needs to sleep.Im waiting for ex to come and get Ela so i can take dills for a walk before i go funny in the head.
I am making split pea dahl atm,it smells lovely,going to have it for dinner with some chicken and spinach curry and no rice.
I can hardly stay awake,

ledkr - L doesn't watch TV either, I don't know why DH bothers tbh. Hope you got D sorted!

Hi all

ponyo I started writing a couple of messages yesterday but tbh just didn't know what to say and everyone else said it so much better. Thinking of you. xx

Well, I've been having DH issues this week end. Posted in relationships and I'm now freaked out as they are telling me I'm in an abusive relationship. I have no idea if they are right or making mountains out of molehills. You all know me better so if you get time would appreciate your opinion on if they are just being OTT and blowing things out of proportion here especially from ems as her DH sounds like mine in some respects.

ledkr first thing i thought too was the old people comment Deb so delicately put, sorry. Hope Dilly has sorted herself out

blizy did alfie behave for the guests? Btw my gnome joke was that I was hangin' with my homies gnomies

Sorry for missing out lots, trying to cook dinner

So sorry Ponyo. Thinking of you.xxx

Hope ex picked up Ella so you can take Dilly out and get her to sleep. S often takes just a 20 min nap at lunchtime if we time school pick-ups wrong then is a real pain come tea time.

Hope everyone else has had lovely Sundays. Off to read reastie's thread while dh is out skiing with E.

can i remind you all that i am 4 fecking 4 not 97 fgs

reastie tbh your dh often sounds a tad dickish but then so does mine when im sounding off on here and as for debs but the thing is they all obviously have good points too or we wouldnt be with them.

People will post on mn after reading the small snippet of info you provide which will always be negative at time of writing.

The truth is that only you and you alone know the truth about your marriage and whether you want to remain in it.

Hey dolls, just catching up. i read last night about our ponyo and the sad news about her dad.... if you're lurking we are here lady.

ledkr you should be pretty pleased with what you have lost so far I think? Have you properly tried WW? I like it cause if I go mental and eat three Mars bars I can just eat salad for the rest of the day...yes my relationship with food is ridiculous. Good luck on red days (whatever the frig they are.)

Off to look at reastie s thread, will be back with my two pence worth...

reastie I've commented on your thread. TOTES agree with ledkr, I've always said you CANNOT look into and expect to understand or judge someone else's marriage. And that's what they all seem to be doing atm. BIG HUGS to you (sorry, forgot to say on your other thread).

expat lie-in till 7am??? It might have been, can't quite remember! I was actually lying in bed wondering how people sleep so long, I was ready to get up at 7.

Watched the last episode of the Killing last night, was a bit disappointed at the end, all seemed a bit shitty for everyone involved. Ah well, that's Scandinavian Film Noir for you eh

X post mizk HI!!! :)

Reastie I had a look on your thread, firstly huge hugs to you my lovely. I also fully agree with ledkr, I have no words of wisdom to offer you but I am here to listen when you need to get it all out. Xx

HI!!! deb :)

reastie the only thing I guess I can say is that sometimes life at your house doesn't seem very happy? But again that could be said of many of us who vent on MN about things that bug us. I don't know what you could do about him getting angry because he is obviously v uncomfortable talking about it once the cloud has lifted. I am maybe a little biased against him because my ex was an angry, difficult person and I spent so many nights crying myself to sleep, by the end me crying just made him more annoyed. Ultimately if you are certain the two of you are meant to be, then your relationship will endure the horrid times. Big hugs missy.

reastie I posted before i read your thread and still stand by what i say above,however shouting at a little baby is horrible and i would cut off his balls be very angry.

This is coming from shouty old me but i do walk off and have a good rant and dont shout at D.

deb brave ent ya taking on the mighty af

Reastie, I will go and take a peek at your thread in a mo but I would be a bit dubious of posting about DH problems on MN. They always seem to come to the same conclusion - "leave the bastard!"

I know, I quivered with every word I typed!! Keep checking back to see if she's replied!

deb shes really nice,she pmd me a few times when dill was ill and we tend to agree on most stuff.

Must go homeland is on.

Ok - Reastie, I've only read your OP, I haven't read the rest of the thread so apologies if I've missed something important but could he be depressed? I often fly off the handle at small things and I must admit that I'm a shouter, particularly when I'm a bit depressed. When I'm on citalopram it calms me down and it helps anxiety.

Does he get quite anxious?

Hello ladies, have been reading all day just not posting. Am still quite numb and tbh not thinking about things, I can't quite get my had around the fact that I won't see my dad again? I got all short of breath and my heart was beating fast earlier which I think might have been a panic attack, also my ocd side has come out a bit more which means my kitchen is super clean

Ok I have a question (am thinking a bit too far ahead here) - should I/would you take A to the funeral? I don't even know what 'kind' of funeral it is going to be but I'm unsure, it'll be weird with ow and her family, plus I am dreading it and dont want her seeing me upset (I will be bawling).

ledkr I don't actually have a contact no for ow, she prob is nice but I have no feeling that I want to ring her, I get what you mean though. Am expecting phone call from her dd's/ds this week. A loves tv especially in the night garden etc, but we have the tv on all day pretty much need to stop that and get some music on instead. How was the dahl?!

reastie I've had a quick read of your thread but not properly, will read it again but think it does seem like the standard 'leave the bastard' mn response. It s hard to get your whole relationship of however many years down on screen isn't it. Shouting at a baby is not acceptable imho and maybe you need to think about the long run and do you want A growing up in this house... don't think you need to leave him though think he needs to change. He has to want to change first though. I'm waffling a bit sorry...

Four4 I can go to sleep ok its just when A wakes up in the night for her dummy, then I'm awake and can't get back to sleep, bah. We watched the marathon earlier, my mum wanted to watch it and I was a bit but it was really good! saddo

deb your comment about your dd emerging from fanjo made me properly, thanks! A is a choclate monster, just like me then :) I was a bit disappointed by the end of the killing too, liked the series as a whole just not the very end.

Robin we do have quite a few pics of my dad and A, I havn't shown her any b'cos she'll prob smile and laugh, then I'll cry but funnily enough at xmas he gave me a massive blown up print of a photo of him and A being cute looking at each other, we took the piss out of him because it was a bit random and joked we'd give it pride of place on the mantle piece, now I can't look at it but might see if its wanted at the funeral, is that daft?! I'm not religious either but believe he'll be looking after A from somewhere. Think blizy you think the same sort of thing too?

Right hello everyone else, its taken me ages to write this and I do feel I've rambled on,I'm sure over the next few days you'll feel like you all knew my dad a bit too the amount I;m going on about him! He was fab though :)
