Fab Feb 2011: Walking, talking and still not sleeping.

[blizy]

I hope you don't mind me starting a new thread? Lets hope it's a lucky one for me.

at A saying stew! Love the thought of the 3 girls playing hide and seek together, cute.

Thanks Robin enjoy your day tomorrow too. I could eat some cake now - but am off to bed before it gets too late :)

As is with all the "clinton days" someone will always be hurt. Xmas is a misery for so many I work with I think that is why i hate it.
Hope you both find a way through tomorrow.

wiggs wow,who do you think will play you in the film of your life as a catholic mother of 3 who finally stopped stripping

Had a nice day with Ella,saw snow white then scoffed chinese then bus home at 9 very rock and roll.

ponyo Its babies I think. They take up so much of our time and energy there is none left for anyone else.
Just spoke to dh and d is fine,we had a joke about "our failing marriage" and having regular date nights WITH OTHER PEOPLE
It is dangerous though,i remember being the same with my ex
I have finally got my af which was a week late hence the terrible hormones.So should be back to my normal self soon.

Off to food and drink show tomorrow nom nom.

I've just had a bit more with a cup of tea!

Robin never worry, we have cake left over from Sofias party today which I keep eating - although I'm just eating it straight from the box so that doesn't count - right? Also have another cake for tomorrow

ledkr I'm thinking Charlize , glad you and Ella had a lovely time.

Speaking of cake the desert section of the chinese buffet is often rather eclectic randome jellies banana in angel delight stuff with hundreds and thousands and today a large selection of mr kipling cakes with cream and fruit on top needless to say we have afew cherry bakewells and mini battenburgs for our tea tomorrow. Scumbags!

Yeah, everyone knows that eating cake straight from the box is calorie free!

Ooh, angel delight with hundreds and thousands - that's posh! :o

wiggs party yesterday

brilliant ledkr

wiggs explain yourself!

ah feck I've been rumbled

at wiggles party

Glad it went off well though. How do you feel about giving up work? That's a big step. Are you going to look for somewhere else to get nekkid ??

ledkr are DH and Dills back yet? Hope you enjoyed Food and Drink :)

ponyo hope A and her teeth are better today.

It was Imy's sports day yesterday, forgot to tell you all. She was Epically Bad. All the other children took off enthusiastically, she gazed around a bit, then strolled off down the racetrack whingeing when a teacher grabbed her hand. Needless to say she came last. In every race. Obviously doesn't take after her mother then

Went to my Open Day at uni yesterday too, which was v v interesting. I was really inspired by the Adult Nursing talk, until the woman let on that they have increased the UCAS points requirements to bloody 260 points. I have 240. I was so disappointed. I spoke to someone about admissions policy and he said it would be worth applying, as they have some discretion, but also to look into doing an NVQ3, alongside my new job. Soooo frustrating, everything else fits together so well :(

One other possible option is MH nursing (240points) but I really don't know what that involves. ledkr were you a MH nurse? Any thoughts/advice?

One last thing before you all fall asleep I did Race For Life today!!! 43 minutes which I thought was fairly respectable. I ran all the way apart from about a 5min walking stretch. Wish I could have run it all but I was feeling a bit oomph diddly . I am now majorly a little sunburnt and everything aches!

Heck, Deb you've had a busy weekend! Puts my weekend of cake scoffing and Macdonalds eating to shame! Well done you on your Race For Life run, you should be very proud! I reckon you should still apply for the course you want - 240 seems so close :(

Well my girls have only just gone to bed! [bad mum] they've been singing together, so cute :o.

Meant to say - :o at Imy on her sports day! Isabel's first school one is next month (hope it doesn't rain) last year, at her preschool one, she cheated spectacularly! I'm hoping that she doesn't take after me - I'm that least sportiest person EVER and I always used to come last!

Thanks robin, I am bloody knackered after this weekend! to Isabel cheating!

debka well done Nope not looking for anything else at the minute

RobinSparkles I'm so unsporty that I used to skive off Sports Day in school My Mum says that when school reports came out, the PE teacher just used to write "could try harder" My Mum was scundered - she's quite into sports. I've eaten so much cake this weekend

Had Sofias family party today, the weather actually cleared up and we had a lovely day. All the kids were in great form and there were no dramas , quite a surprise when my family are all together Oh Lego Friends is a huge hit - Sofia got a few sets and both her and Olivia have played for hours with it. But she likes our present best : a huge One Direction poster, those babygro pjs, a CD and some glittery earrings. Apparently I am the best Mum in the world ever and she had the best day ever - I have discovered the way to Sofias heart - cheap tat

ponyo, blizy and blizys dh xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I really like that Lego Friends Wiggles. There was a thread in feminism a while ago slating it but I think it's lovely! I'm glad Sofia had a lovely birthday! I must admit that, because we gave Isabel a party this year, we didn't buy her so much this year. Her presents consisted of : a pack of Moshi monsters, a key ring kite, a water gun, a foam rocket thingy from tesco and one of those Dizzy dancers she'd seen on TV. I've never seen her so thrilled with gifts!
It definitely seems that - Cheap Tat = Way To A Child's Heart :o

Oh I read that thread Sofia had set up some of the sets upstairs and people at the party kept disappearing to have a nosy at her presents and coming down 20 mins later raving about the lego sets

But her favourite thing was a keyring that came with the card we got her Its a Hello Kitty (another disapproving glance from the Feminist section ) card that had a key ring attached to it and she thinks its too cool for school! She attaches keyrings etc to the zip on her school bag (its the done thing) and no-one else appears to have this one

Glad you had a good wiggles.

Debka- a huge well done to you! I will sponsor you end of week when I get paid, super skint just now!

Ponyo- how was today? I was thinking about you. X

Today has been strange, feeling a bit emotional and Dh has been very snipey. I have just left him to it as he won't talk. I have been giving Homs some cuddles and made him a curry for dinner. I feel do helpless that I can't be there for him the he is for me. I hope this made sense?

I also had a bit of bust up with my dad, he thinks we should have taken my dsm with us to the SANDS service yesterday he said that Z was her grand daughter and she deserves to come Along too.! (her gd when it suits her). He also said that he doesn't miss Z or think of her. then in the next breath he asked if i was trying again! He is my dad, he is supposed to be there for me and offer support. I haven't told Dh as he has enough to worry about today

blizy See to be honest if he wants to include your sm in remembering Z he can bloody well go with her to Zs grave or she can give you a call to see how you're doing or if there's anything she can do, or even just say something like I thought of Z today. I hope dh is just getting through today the best he can.

Ah wiggles I know, (we don't have a grave for her, her ashes are still in her bedroom) i just don't know if she had out my Dad up to it? But he should be sticking up for me when I need him the most. All he kept saying but she is Z's granny, I was screaming in my head I am Zoe's Mum! I shouldn't let it get to me but it fecking hurts.

Dh is fine ( I think) Alfie is giving him loads of snuggles today .

Blizy, if your dsm cared so much shouldn't she be calling you regularly to talk about Zoe and supporting you.tbh I would only want me and dh at these SANDS memorials anyway. Your dad is a strange one isn't he? Have you ever told him just how much he upsets you? Aw your poor dh, he sounds like a typical man trying to keep his emotions bottled up. Just keep giving him hugs.

Wiggles, Sofias day sounds fab and I love the look of the Lego friends sets! Ben has 2 key rings on the zip of his preschool bag, these kids are soooooo cool nowadays! Congrats on giving up work btw. I so wish I could do the same, I just know that I'd never go back tho!

Deb, well done on the job. I'd apply for the course you want to do anyway and see if you get in. We're all so proud of you x

Ponyo, hope your day wasnt too hard.

Off to hang out some washing before getting Noah up, see you all later

Blizy, I'm amazed at how spectacularly crap your family have been towards you. If your SM wants to go to SANDS memorials then she should be saying "are you going? Would you mind if I came along?"and even if you said no then that's fine, she and your Dad should respect that it's something personal for you and DH. And I'm sorry, but he moans about not being involved and then in the next breath says that he doesn't really think about Zoe? Wow! :( I'm speechless at that. I hope I haven't spoken out of turn but I am for you.

Hope Ponyo is ok.

Hey all, I'm ok thanks peeps, thank you for thinking of me

Wow blizy I am just like everyone else. It amazes me that your own family have capacity to be so ignorant?! They're making your loss about them - well your sm is, "poor me not being invited" - so disrespectful.

Glad your dp is ok - fwiw I think people take it out on people closest to them when they're feeling down because they can, I was being a cow bag to dp last night then realised I was doing it because I was feeling a bit crap. Hope that makes sense.

(I have my dads ashes in A's room btw)

Better go am on my dinner at work, back later all

Hey all, just grabbing quick 5 mins....

blizy annoyed on your behalf re your SM and Dad, why do people make everything about themselves? You and DH are the ones who feel Z's loss more than anyone and they should support you rather than it being the other way around.
ponyo glad you got through yesterday OK x
deb well done re job!
wiggles glad the party went well :)

I'm just in the middle of a teeny nervous breakdown... basically its money related :( I feel quite guilty that I am going to study in September rather than go back to work, cause our finances are looking sketchy as fook. Just panicking a bit that we aren't going to cope. Going to have to persuade DP that we need to get rid of one of the cars, two seems extravagant considering the fact we are pretty broke. Anyone got any good money saving tips or just want to reassure me that being povvo will be fun? Hi to everyone and hope all having good days x

Hi all,

Not been on as my useless broadband went down for two whole days and I felt like my life was over

Found out today my bff is pg - really early days though. Am feeling very very excited for her but also a bit bitchily envious .

wiggs hanging up the g string eh?! Glad the party went well.

blizy re: sm wanting to invite herself along - seriously feel annoyed for you

ledkr and ems will pm you re: this week end as soon as I can.

mizk I have a friend whose going on hol with her ILs next month - decided not to tell her about your ordeal . Sorry re: no money - not really very good on tips but menu planning is good at saving money (although I never do as I never know when I will be able to cook with alice around) and I have got alot of free toys/baby clothes etc etc from my local freecycle if you regularly keep your eyes out on their website. I always think no matter what your income you always just adapt to it - if I have more income I spend more on goodness knows what and if I have less I can be really frugal, so long as you'll have enough to pay the morgage and bills? FWIW I think it's great you are going back to study

deb well done on the run - you look fabbo on the pics on fb

Well, I have tons of reports to write and no time to do them in so better get back to it
