Really looking forward to my trip over. So much to do and so little time. Will be up north for ten days and have to get to the Lakes and to the Dales and spend lots of time with my family, and now I am really chuffed to be getting to meet some randoms from the internet of you lovely people :o

pr it feels a bit like what I imagine internet dating feels like
Our meet up certainly had me nervous in the style of a blind date!

We need sweary Wednesday back. I have been a massive, massive twat. Our stairs were painted less than 2 weeks ago. I have been going mental at anyone even brushing past the walls. Today, for some unknown reason, I decided to try and move a massive, but light, wardrobe downstairs on my own. Obviously I got stuck, and have fucking bashed the fuck out of the paintwork. Have attempted poly filler and new coat of paint over the affected area, but its fucking obvious and DH is, quite rightly, going to go fucking ballistic at me. Twat, twat, twat. Fucksticks.

There is indeed, every Friday PR, and a farmers' market (which is much better) every third Friday I think.

Swearing is allowed any day but becomes obligatory on Wednesdays well that's how I understood it

In your situation I'd be swearing too..

PR we were having much the same problem with DD (just 2) until v recently. Then with no ado at all, we just popped her into her bed one night. DH did lie with her cuddling her to sleep for 2 nights. Then he sat on the floor. Now, he sits on the floor until she's nearly gone and then potters upstairs. It was something I was bloody terrified of doing because she had gotten used to being in the spare room with him, but it was much, much less worse than I had expected. Wishing you similar luck!

Madam get some sexy undies on?

cat we could meet in Kirkby Lonsdale or Hawes or Ingleton if you like? Anywhere really.

I met my husband through Internet dating.

I like watching house of tiny tearaways. Watching it with just DD1, I used to think how could anyone have such badly behaved / challenging kids. Now I have DD2 they look quite angelic

Madam we have tried so often and recently have had a big break from even trying. We're oing to be a lot sneakier about it this time round :o

madam can you blame a kid?

hello! have had a friend to stay for a few days so not even been lurking - have been pinned to the sofa under a sleeping baby and been over to FB to meet everyone, loving all the lovely pics. now off to catch up on this mammoth thread! love to everyone and hope all LOs doing well x

I watched Supernanny on This Morning yesterday and was wondering what the MN consensus was regarding her.

Just had my mum round and although we don't really get on and rarely see each other, she is the only person who congratulates me on doing a good job with O, so it has been an ego-inflating afternoon if nothing else.

VQ am pretty sure I couldn't claim DS was he culprit.

BigPig that might be the route to salvation. Sexy undies, a bj offer and his favourite pudding. Good plan.

Have demolished the fucking wardrobe now.

DH will say that I expect him to forgive me and not get worked up (true) whereas if he had done something this stupid, I'd be cross for a loooooong time (also true). Plus I have form for moving furniture alone and thinking I am stronger and less accident prone than I am.

Fuck!

sweetpea sometimes having ones own children completely changes the relationship with ones own mother.

sweatpea I'm 6 miles from the coast near Ipswich and Felixstowe. Anyone else near East Anglia?

I'm fucking furious with DP. Male chauvinist fucking pig. There was something on the tv to do with women becoming managers in sport and he went off on a rant about how 'of course women can't manage man' and blah blah blah so I told him to fuck right off after giving him my opinion on it. I'm now sitting upstairs on my own. I don't even want to see him Just because his country is stuck 500 years in the past, why should someone in England in 2013 be restricted by their gender? It's ludicrous and it's people like him with fucking medieval opinions that hold women back.

I'm so angry I can't even spell. I don't even know if that makes sense I'm so upset.

Wow apple what a thing to discover about him I'm pretty sure dp would agree in principal, but for different reasons not least the lack of development opportunities and investment in women's sport meaning we don't have the chance to reach the same level of physical skill. He's just taken his mum's mothering sunday card to the post box, I'll ask him when he gets back.

We drew round R's hand as a signature, figured it was cleaner than paint!

It's not even like he had any intelligent thoughts on it. He was just being an arse Am I right to be so upset about it or am I being irrational?

Nah you're not being irrational. My DH can be sexist sometimes, though mainly to wind me up and I always put him right. Not having my girls growing up believing sexism is acceptable.

No and I'm not letting him make DS think that's normal. I hate discrimination of any kind and I thought he was the same. He has been discriminated against because of his race so how can he possibly think it's ok to discriminate against someone based purely on their gender?

No good reason at all other than upbringing I suppose, but it's wrong.

I was kind of right about his opinion - apparently it's more about personality, women (and the vast majority of men too) don't have the requisite level of aggression to lick a top team into shape.

Yanbtheslightestbitu to be pissed off at his purely sexist reasoning!!

Apple may i ask what your p's origins are? Mine has Caribbean heritage (born here) and i blame my mil for most of his best traits He came round a lot to the feminist point of view when i lent him this book and he could link the racism he went through as a teenager with feminist issues. I don't even pretend to understand those experiences, being white and fairly sheltered!

I am caught up and can't remember what I want to say!!! Baby brain - I give up.

Stunt block feeding solved my LOs green poops a few months back (ebf) and night time routine helped her self settle though she only sleeps 3/4 hours at a time....I endorse your plans

Madam waaaah when is DH home, I am all for fronting it out too ie "bash, what bash? wall, what wall? "

right LO is waking up from her amazingly long nap and all I've done is catch up on this thread and go through FB! ignores filthy house

toodles x
