Go and look at horseys pic of E on FB, and also look at the 'have you seen this' thread with all the pics of MN kids. It is lovely.

Too much?

Detective stop reading the daily mail

How is O now detective? Feeling better and cooler I hope x

Dicks yeah, usually at the Pod - Big Bang, GTi Festivals, Action. Dp does a bit of commentary and other work for a guy who organises shows. You?

cat so sorry to hear your story. Can't imagine what you must have gone through, and your poor DC's.

We have a will and my sister will get DD's if anything happens to us. We both have life insurance to pay off mortgage and DH gets more through work. We actually need to look into our life cover once we move as we will need it increased.

Gosh there's a lot of sad stories going around so I think a merry Monday is definitely in order.

Had a couple of late nights. Not DC related, just having friends round and not going to bed early enough! Going to have a bath once DD1 is in bed and have an early night. sprinkles sleepy dust to all the november babies

blonder just off to check the MIL thread but also read the 'friend should of given me a lift' thread. Lots of deleted posts, SHOUTING & corrections of grammar...

Sorry about the droop!

Oscar is a snot ball, but a cool snot ball! No more reason to give calpol. My mummy thermometer is in fine fettle.

Thanks for asking!

He's sleeping a little more if that is even possible and eating less. Will see how he goes tonight.

PR I think I came across your blog accidently earlier through the awakened parenting website. Was rather random to recognise someone online IYKWIM!

Eliza thanks for sleep dust hope it works ...been crying lots today house looks like an s hole ... I peed myself last night and it took ages for me to notice ... the washing machine doesn't work dd New clothes are stuck in it! I just want to go to bed and cry all night but I can't worried I have pnd ... I only have one dd, generally supportive dh - tho he did say is it pmt!?
feel guilty for being so upset over such silly things and really feels like I can't cope every time I think of my pee covered pjs that I can't wash I just want to cry again

gotta go machine beeping to say its stuck in cycle again think I will go and beat it up!! thing is neither dh or me good at these technical things!! .

Have you got the manual zcos? It happened to ours once and I was able to drain the water and get the clothes out using the troubleshooting bit.

cat, you are such a strong lady, I am full of admiration for you.

purple, we do action, not been to Big Bang as it's not really one for kids. We've also been to Whitenoise, deva, dub odyssey, vw festival and a few others.

Zcos I was only just saying to DH how bad peeing yourself is for your self esteem. I am always on the leaky side, but with the chest infection I have been in a real mess even with pads. It is horrid and I really feel for you. You are very tired, you have had a baby, these things happen. Hopefully pelvic floor exercises will help. Perhaps ask the HV to pop around to talk through your feelings? There is no shame in having PND, and it is better to face it and get it treated, if indeed you do have it, than leave it like I did. Big hug x

Oh I'm glad somebody tried to cheer the thread back up, it was making for sad reading. catbag I believe I saluted you this morning - consider it repeated. My vote is with merry Monday

We've had a lovely time out today at friends - I excelled myself by wolfing down 2 plates of roast dinner (pork) and 2 bowls of pudding (apple & blackberry crumble, and cherry strudel). I'm eating for 2?! (not in a pregnant way before anyone gets ideas). Little pig was a complete charmer all morning, but turned into a demon screamer mid-afternoon due to overtiredness/over stimulation. She's finally nodded off on my chest now

We don't have a will, I would want my parents to have LO if anything happened, I have real issues with how my ILs raised their kids. They also failed to notice dh being abused. which probably happens often enough but is something I struggle to understand personally.

Good news - have won a bumbo on ebay so little pig can join the bumbo party late

Went to Deva a couple of years back and loved it, but it's a helluva way from down here! Bet we have mates in common :o

Did you hear about the man with five willies? His underpants fit like a glove

Detective that's perfectly possible she is a MN blogger too and we read each other's blogs

cat amazing.

Re wills and life assurance etc. Think about it, get it done, get it done now, and get proper advice. I know that's expensive but it is worth it. I have seen comes out as a lawyer many a costly mess and heartache brought about by scrimping on good advice, when good advice in the first place would have cost a fraction of the subsequent cost to clear up the mess.

I know fuck all about wills, but the above goes for all things, IMVHO.

Lecture over. But if you dont have a will, do think about it now.

Cat bag you are a hero. Huge cuddles to supermum!

I'm shattered. LO is still self settling by sucking his hands.

We have a full will and all settlements, LO will go to my mum. As the house is paid off we have my death in service if anything happens to me or DP has a savings account if anything happens to him.

I checked out your blog t'other day PR I wuz guid.

I think sometimes that I would like to blog. Then I realise that I have nothing to say! Before babyness I used to teach through blogging. Daily tasks were posted on my blog and the kids posted their results on theirs. They could check out each others, parents could see work covered and pace and I could mark them drinking beer in the pub . Happy days. I am led to believe that this has tailed off since me going on mate leve

toomanydicks I'm not a manual keeping person ... it usually traps with water in ...did last week and dh managed to fix it but now its trapped on dry looked up on net how to fix but is lots of instructions I don't understand and think I need to pull machine out told dh he can tackle tommorow he been out all night stayed.at a friend's and got no sleep. dreading this month he is away 3 nights in a row.

oh and thanks.vq think I will give it a couple of days and then contact hv if I feel the same... just feel so frustrated and want to run away!

Think zcos needs group hug.((((((hug))))))))

I would like to see your blog pr what is it called? Where do you get the time?

Am still suffering from a two week cold. Pah. Have checked dr google apparently is normal. Am mighty fed up with it.

In other news have found a lump on the right hand side of O's neck, the size of a pea. Have also checked dr google with differing responses. Might get it checked out this week.

At least it's dry zcos, the clothes won't be ruined, have some . Hope your feeling better soon. To cheer you up I'll tell you my wee story. When I was pregnant, not heavily either, I was in morrisons shopping and needed to sneeze. When I did I weed, quite a lot! Wee ran down my legs, I was wearing a long skirt, and filled both of my shoes. I had to pay for my shopping and get out of there while leaving a trail of wet footprints. Embarrassing

Once, I went to the DR and said " my pmt is dreadful I feel so depressed and want to leave my husband" without even starting a conversation with me about my life at the time ( death of mother, mil with cancer, house move, unhappy in marriage anyway because of emotional bullying and some other stuff) she just put me on Seroxat (anti depressants) I took them for a week and then thought this is rubbish.

I won't tell you what I did next. Was so shocked at how quickly she threw them at me rather than trying any other routes first.
