I'm definately not tough cried at dd injections today.

blonderthanred · 30/01/2013 21:02

The trouble is VQ, now I am imagining you saying those things in the leather/PVC outfit of your previous comment.

I'm not sure if I like it or not. Wink

MadamGazelleIsMyMum · 30/01/2013 21:02

Hope this one goes through eliza

Sophiathesnowfairy · 30/01/2013 21:04

zcos me. I am a sensitive flower from Birmingham ( but not living there.)

Sophiathesnowfairy · 30/01/2013 21:05

detecetive I keep forgetting to change nappies these days! And yes he is very fussy and will only crap in a a clean one.

OBEM and a cup of tea.

BigPigLittlePig · 30/01/2013 21:06

More screaming abdabs tonight Sad. Katie I couldn?t leave LO to cry it out as some people have suggested because she would make herself hysterical very quickly, and there is absolutely no way she could settle herself. She is 9 weeks old, but was 5 weeks early.

MM - gulp re: poo

detective - overtiredness made me chuckle out loud about your tmi period chat, try explaining that away. Which leads me to my next point?DH just asked, seriously, whether I was secretly a lesbian. I think he thinks I?m busy chatting to some amorous lezzers ? hmm poonami and projectile vomit wasn?t part of any chat up line I can remember although the days of chat up lines are a million miles away

KatieLily12 · 30/01/2013 21:09

I cried my eyes out at jabs and I've been on the lack of weight gain journey for weeks. Have a hug Zcos

BPLP I can't let her cry either. The temper is epic.

KatieLily12 · 30/01/2013 21:13

PMSL at GT genius

Scared of VQ and I used to work in secure mental health!

Wimbledon and Greenwich? That's a south London meet up waiting to happen! The tea house theatre in vauxhall is fab for tea, cake and baby change!

Sophiathesnowfairy · 30/01/2013 21:15

Would have spat my tea out bp. If I had made it yet. Grin

PurplePidjin · 30/01/2013 21:16

I'm a sensitive rural flower i still piss myself laughing at the local teens sayong Fuck then giggling and thinking they're hardcore though although i went to Kingston and lived in some less than salubrious parts of Chessington and New Malden :)

FatimaLovesBread · 30/01/2013 21:20

Had my fanny physio follow up today. Apparently my fanjo is a grade 2 Hmm

I've got friends in Brixton, streatham and Rotherhithe and relatives in Pimlico. We're thinking of having a London weekend away in March

DonnaDoon · 30/01/2013 21:24

Kudos to VQ sounds like a right cool chick back in the day ... My dd is officially a thumb sucker...I am quite pleased because ds2 is one also and really is a contented little chap and if I remember rightly he was about this age when he found his.

MissMummy1 · 30/01/2013 21:26

Here, fellow haggis munchers: when is this IKEA meatball meet up happening??

GTbaby · 30/01/2013 21:29

Blush Oh man.

H asked mum to watch LO earlier. I heard tail end of conv... There is no need for u both to go, why does she need to go, u go get what u need.

I also mentioned this. Thing is soph we don't do things like clear the air. Everything simmers away under surface. N will b bought up later. N madam the damage is done. So no point making out I'm worried about her.

When H has LO he always palms him off on mil. I've mentioned it a few times. But he just says its fine. But feels like I can't take a nap or rest as HE won't b looking after LO she will n will b held against me.

Fuck it. Nothing I said was untrue.

BigPigLittlePig · 30/01/2013 21:32

Oh gt in laws are a pain in the derriere.

Am off to bed, fear a bad night is in store as haven't managed to get LO in any position other than upright today Hmm

Night all x

ChunkyChicken · 30/01/2013 21:37

Had a row with DH earlier. About the same thing we keep rowing about & after "discussing' it for... oooh about 2hrs!! I.e he gets shit loads of time off & I'm yet to shit in peace or have any child-free time since Oct (last day at work). We 'agreed' that we he would have to make it work so I got some me time at some point, ideally once a wk.

AIBU?

DH gets in from work. Brief convo about our day. Says "Thought I might watch the super bowl on Sunday (starts at midnight) & go into work late". I was Shock & Angry

Was IBU to lose the plot??!!! Seriously??!!

MadamGazelleIsMyMum · 30/01/2013 21:39

gt I think that's a universal man thing. DH, an experienced father of 3 and part time SAHD, goes to his Mummy whenever he gets the opportunity and she does the majority of looking after. It's only because we're 40 minutes away that it isn't every time.

MadamGazelleIsMyMum · 30/01/2013 21:42

chunky take a leaf out of his book, and inform him of your plans to do something, preferably in the same nonchalant tone i am envisaging him using to you. And no, YANBU.

Pikz · 30/01/2013 21:50

VQ I am in awe!! And a little scared!

Chunky I would have flipped by now at him.

Fingers crossed for a good night here. I need sleep

Passmethecrisps · 30/01/2013 21:52

Hallo.

detective P never cries because of wee. We change every feed which is pretty much every 2 hours. I think the beef crisps smell is because I forget sometimes and it goes too long. Poor p.

I love all the London stories. I also love the thought of the kindly and gentle VQ in PVC giving crims a run for their money!

DP moved to hackney straight after uni so we courted traveling between Stirling and London. I hated it then - I was very young and from the country. I was scared and thought it was overrated. I have mellowed. More so since DH surprised me with asking me to marry him in our old stomping ground 18 months ago.

Get me, I went back to the toddler group today! There were lots of babies there today so it was lovely. There was a 5 week, 6 week, penny at 11 weeks, a 16 week and an 8 month old. Fab to see them at their different stages. P has been pretty poorly with her reflux the last few days but she had a lovely time. They hunted out a pillow with a raised bit on it so she could lie there looking around her. Smashing.

However, I did confirm my status as instantly forgettable Sad I walked in an immediately recognised a lady from pregnancy yoga. I said "oh hi!" And then if became clear she had no idea who I was. Never mind thinks I. Then another lady walks in. Yoga lady looks up and says "oh hi!" Turns to me and says pointing to new lady "she and I were at pregnancy yoga together". New lady smiles at me and says hello politely. I spent weeks bending and grunting in their company - they recognise ech other but neither recognise me.

I always knew I was dull

ValiumQueen · 30/01/2013 21:55

I would grin but on phone :-)

I started working in a prison when females, indeed nurses, were still quite a rare thing. And there was only one other who did not prefer girls. I met her on my first morning. Very innocent looking lady with grey hair in her early fifties. I was waiting behind her in the line to go in, and one of the officers said she looked tired. She turned to him, looked at him all serious like, and said 'so would you if you had been taking it up the arse all night'. I nearly fell over. She was my role model.

When I left to work for the NHS they asked me how my first day was. I said it was great as nobody had called me a c**t.

ComradeJing · 30/01/2013 21:56

What MadamG said chunky. YANBU.

DH and I had a similar chat recently. I said something along the lines of:

Me:I'm going to a Sydney MN meet up next weekend. I'll take wee DS and DD will stay with you.

DH: Yep, that's fine. I don't mind.

Me: I didn't ask if you fecking mind. Hmm

DH has never ONCE asked me if I mind having the children on the weekend while he does something. Yet me mentioning something was like I was asking for permission. He's not usually a nob but it was an Angry moment. He won't try it again though. :o

DonnaDoon · 30/01/2013 21:57

Fookin ell you've lived VQ

ComradeJing · 30/01/2013 21:58
