I'm waiting for dh to get up then I'm off to the gym for a bit if peace a he's on lates so I'm stuck with kids all day.

reastie · 08/02/2013 07:48

Ledkr Grin to eating lots of plastic food. I eat alot of wooden cake just as well, it's the only cake I get to eat now Grin . Poor Ella, hope she feels better soon.

ledkr · 08/02/2013 08:43

Mmmmm wooden cake!

ILovePonyo · 08/02/2013 11:59

Just a quick post on my phone to say happy birthday Sabine SmileSmile

Hope everyone is well and things are better for you american

A has become bloody awful sleeper again, she wakes in the night and just cries and wails like a newborn Confused any attempt to console her/give her a dummy lead to furious thrashing and shrieking. What's going on?! She's either on her cot asleep or screaming, there is no in between or playing nicely! So bloody annoying.

Plus dp got all offended yesterday because A only wanted mummy, hm maybe that's bcos he is always on the laptop ignoring her and its me playing with her or reading. I watched him say 3 times yesterday "I'll read you a story" whilst she was walking around holding a book, but not actually taking his eyes off the laptop screen Hmm so I read it. I don't mind reading to her but he gets all huffy if I try and suggest he could spend a bit more time with her.

I've just realised this is a bit of a ranty post BlushI feel better now!! Grin

Ledkr I am going to look for cheapo Argos kitchen too, we have no room in our house for it though, oh well!

Happy Birthday Sabine xx

hubbard86 · 08/02/2013 17:03

Happy birthday Sabine.

I will be on later with the dating disasters as I'm having a night in tonight. I really should start writing a book. Who knew there were so many weirdos out there!! I will also update on the ex. Though some of you may have already seen my facebook Rants.

reastie · 08/02/2013 18:26

I see you're on talk round up this week ma'am

Hubbard will check back later for your dating tales of woe with some popcorn

ponyo DH can do that too - look after Alice by ignoring her Hmm

ledkr · 08/02/2013 19:22

How can you see that reastie? I can only see last weeks.
I am having a glass of red whilst d has her bath and I'm mn.
Ponyo. D sleeping better. I'd try extra food a good nap and early night. One of them has worked for us. My sympathys I thought I was goi g mental last week.

hubbard86 · 08/02/2013 19:52

Right, dating disaster no1 is by no means the worst. To this day I am still in shock. I had been on a couple of dates with one guy who was slightly younger than me who I had met in a club. On our 3rd date we had arranged to meet in my usual pub as it was a friends birthday. He then arrived in a dress, wig, make up, boobs and introduced me to his alter ego. Yes he was a crossdresser but it wasn't just any dress, I was a wedding dress. Yes a wedding dress, white, a train everything. So there I am in my regular pub, with all my friends and the guy I'm seeing is dressed as a woman. He then thought he was going to be coming home with me. Hahaha not a chance. That by no means was the worst and would only ever happen to me!!

blizy · 08/02/2013 20:04

Oh.my.god! Hubbard, that is freaking mental! What did you do? I would have been so shocked but also falling over with laughter!

Is anyone around tonight?

HobKnob · 08/02/2013 20:16

Hey blizy I'm here. Meant to be out at a Creative Soiree but I worked 7am-2pm then had the girls and a pit of a house to clean up (thanks DH), then birthday tea for 7 adults, 3 kids. Couldn't face going out. Prob be in bed before 9! Are you ok? xxx

hubbard bloody HELL if that wasn't so so awful it would be funny!

ledkr glad D is foing a bit better at night, are you catching up a bit too?

ponyo DH does that too, he will actually go in his office and get on the computer while the kids roam about, no wonder they prefer me.

Bad mother alert- Sabine's hair almost caught fire on her birthday candles Blush Shock- she's got a frizzled bit of fringe now!! Grin

blizy · 08/02/2013 20:21

Not really. Dh is away, I have no one to talk to.

HobKnob · 08/02/2013 20:31

It must be lonely for you blizy :( Will DH be back soon?

blizy · 08/02/2013 20:35

Tuesday night. Sorry for being so self centred, I am just so sad, my whole body is aching for my girl.

HobKnob · 08/02/2013 20:50

It's ok blizy, if you can't talk about her here, where can you?

Your arms must feel so empty without her. I always think of Zoe when Sabine does something special. I remembered her today on S's birthday. It's so bloody unfair that I have my girl, growing up and running round, and you don't. Life has been so cruel to you. I just pray that it's your turn again soon, we will be holding your hands the whole way.

Much love and hugs to you xxxxx

ledkr · 08/02/2013 20:51

Oh blizy poor you I can't imagine how much you must miss Zoe. It's so unfair because you are clearly such a good loving person.
Have you plans for the weekend?

blizy · 08/02/2013 20:58

Hob, it's not unfair that you have your girl. You should have her, it's unfair I don't have mine. It's very sweet of you to remember her through S, i really like that, thank you. X

I have my wee sis and little nephew for a sleepover tomorrow, they should keep me busy.

It was my dm who set me off today, she was saying how glad she is that she has no more birthday presents to buy now until April. I was screaming inside, what about your grand daughter!!

I have to go to my big sisters on Sunday, (Nieces birthday). Really don't want to, she has well and truly burned the bridges between us.

reastie · 08/02/2013 21:12

Oh blizy that would have got me going too, but I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it or even realise as she said it (not that I'm looking to make excuses). Life is utterly rubbish. It makes me realise how lucky I've been. I often think of Z in RL. I hope you're OK and the do on Sunday goes as well as it can.

ledkr I get talk round up emailed to me from mn, not sure how or why but I do! I imagine it will be updated soon if it's not on the site yet. If you're impatient pm me your email and I'll forward it to you Grin

Hubbard Shock . Honestly, just Shock . And this wasn't even the worst story you have?! You must tell us more!!

Hobs singed fringe was that?! Is it bad I smirked?! Enjoy your early night. I'm off to bed soon too as shattered

ledkr · 08/02/2013 21:26

Blizy it's horrible when others forget how shit you feel.
It's so easy to do when you aren't the one affected. Maybe you should have said that to your mum.
Reastie I normally get it too but haven't yet.
I once met a nice bloke in a club and we talked for hrs before exchanging numbers. We exchanged pleasant texts and then one morning he sent me a picture if his dick Hmm
I ignored him so he sent a couple if dirty texts.
I eventually answered him and told him I had neither the time or inclination to provide wank material for him.
He apologised and said he was nervous as he really liked me.
That night he sent a text of his cock and a message asking me if I'd like a fuck Confused my gay friend then called him and said that yes please he would like a fuck! I never heard from him again.
Like you Hubbard it could only happen to me.

blizy · 08/02/2013 21:33

Ledkr, that is hilarious!

I'm feeling a bit better now, the tears have dried up so I'm off to bed. Thank you all for being here and the never ending support. I love you all for it.

wigglesrock · 08/02/2013 21:36

blizy That's very thoughtless of your dm - whether or not she wasn't thinking, it must have been very hurtful to hear. Do you have to go to your sister's - can you not just skive off ?

Hubbard there are no words Grin Shock

Hobknob glad you all had a lovely day xxx

Well S has succumbed to the pox Sad

ledkr · 08/02/2013 21:46

O knew you'd like that blizy. Don't forget Zoe is in your smiles and laughter as much as your tears and sadness. You won't forget her just because you are happy for a moment you still had her she still exists.
Lots if love to you tonight xx

tadjennyp · 08/02/2013 22:16

Happy birthday Sabine! Sorry about the singed fringe!

Hubbard that is shocking! Grin Ledkr too, you wonder sometimes what goes through blokes minds! Wink

So sorry blizy. February must be such a painful month for you. You deserve so much better. hugs

Waves hello to everyone else and wishes good sleep for the little ones. Got to tidy the house before Anna's party this afternoon!

hubbard86 · 08/02/2013 23:11

Awww blizy. I wish there was something I could say to help.

My reaction to the crossdresser was one of shock and laughter. I'm as open minded as they come but if I wanted a woman I'd be with one, not a man dressed as one. I proceeded to get very drunk and snog the dj (who was a friend, straight and most definitely dressed as a man Lol). He still tries to ring me and send me messages etc but he really isn't my type.
