Happy birthday sophia :) and how fucking lucky are you having a sweary fucking Wednesday bastard birthday!!!

I'm sure it won't chasing try not to panic

I know ky is fucking twattastic to have sweary Wednesday as my fucking fortieth birthday day.

Ha Kyz Sophia is very lucky it's today! I feel like a different person after some sleep!

chasing you are in a position of strength. You have done everything right. Your child is well cared for, and you have been and got help when you have needed it. You called the police when your partner assaulted you, and you went to the GP when you were concerned about your mental health. This will all go in your favour. If you approcah this visit in a 'how can they help me' positive way maybe they will be able to point you in the right direction of lots more help, and support. Your rights vis a vis your twat of a partner for example. :)

It will be fine, try and relax

Happy birthday Sophia

pikz that sounds like a pretty good night, and glad to hear DP has stepped up a bit. And well done to J as well YW

N went down at 22.30 and woke at 1 and 4ish. Up for the day now which is pretty bloody good really. I can cope with that luckily, as DD1 did that til she was 13 months Just been treated to a nice big cheesy grin as well, which always helps :)

It would seem that sleeping is dangerous though. A couple of days ago I woke with a really stiff neck, which is still twinging now. This morning it's my shoulder and down my side that's sore. How pathetic is that?!

And after a vet visit yesterday, it has been confirmed that my poor lame horse has a hairline fracture She'll be ok, it'll heal itself in time, but I was not expecting that.

Soph you can have double swearing allocation today :o

Happy fucking 40th birthday Sophia

Busy morning, people over later, so won't even pretend I've read more than this page...

I had a FULL fucking NIGHT'S SLEEP. He had a dream feed at 11.45 later than it should have been, thank you cocking 4 pictures, 1 word game and then slept until gone 7.15. Wft??!!! First time in about 2 wankbadgering months.

Not sure whether it was the 3rd night of dream feeds, the amber teething anklet or the shag (DH & I obviously - maybe he was too to wake me up for a feed after that?). Shan't be changing anything tonight though except the shag, DH isn't that lucky

Anyway, hope other babies slept just as well. Have a twatting good day all!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIA!!! Can I justify buying and eating cake today because it's your birthday?!

M is getting worse. She would do 4/5 hours in with me. Last night was 11-1 then up at 2, 3.30 (not going down again till 5) 6.30 and now. Little bugger. Didnt help tbat the 3.30 wakening was caused by wine drunk twunt stumbling up the stairs

I managed to pick my car up last night. Whole thing has been a fucking nightmare (it is sweary wednesday, right?). The guy gave me the wrong account number so £1000 of my money is sitting somewhere in the system. My bank have said assuming the number he gave me isnt a real account I will get it back sometime in the next 3 weeks!? Because it was his fuck up I managed to convince him to let me take it and pay the rest in cash (cue terrifying walk from bank to hire car to his house!) and take the damned thing last night. DP drove it home (before celebrating my success with wine...) and I followed him because he had my satnav. Did the arse not drive off at a rate of knots leaving me totally lost?! A 30min drive became almost 2 hours. Twat. Stupid fucking twat. and I am a twat too for trying to go the motorway way home and not the twisty back road way that I knew

Not a chance of catching up!
Happy birthday sophia
chasing hope today goes well with SS you will be fine hoping it is today and I haven't got it totally wrong
Well it looks like we are out of the sleep regression, I fucking hope so anyway, I haven't slept for a week, last night S went down at 7, woke at 11:30 and then 4 for her dummy and then up for the day at 6:30 so fc that's it now!
Hope everyone has a fantastic sweary fucking Wednesday!

Good luck today chasing - I can only second what everyone has said re SS but in a case of reported DV it is fairly standard. Just show them what an amazing mummy you are and you'll be fine

Tilly has her skin review with our dermatologist this morning. There is a lot of snow (okay not half as much as the rest of the country but enough to make me chicken out of driving the new car there )

mmyes! You can all have a cake allocation today as it is such a fucking important birthday.

Glad to hear you have your new car, pants about the journey home and the money in the great I cloud ether.

chunky what is a teething anklet?

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone.

Happy fucking birthday Sophia!

Pikz I am so glad you got some sleep

O is currently having his first nap of the day. Not on me! 8 minutes and counting so far. He usually has 30mins, I will be happy with 15.

Sophia its a tiny little anklet made for babies out of Baltic Amber gemstones which apparently have "pain relieving properties". I don't buy into the mystical shite but anecdotally I've heard good things. www.babyteethingnecklace.co.uk I think... I bought through amazon.

I'd go mental at my DH if he'd done that to me MM. Was Tilly with you? And then he started drinking before you got home, so if you needed help, you'd have been out of luck? Cunting bastard.

Happy birthday sophia thanks for the cake allocation!

mm sorry, but your DP is a twat. I'd have hung DH by the bollocks if he pulled a stunt like that.

Good luck today chasing.

20mins. I'll take that. Well done O.

In his defence he did wait till I got home. And was slightly worried I wasnt right behind him anymore. He was using my phone as a sat nav. He is still a twat though. Like a big fucking kid he "wanted to see how powerful it was" .

Happy birthday Sophia we got our amber anklet from dino daisy online - they're safer than necklaces and anecdotally work. Meh at least its helping him find his feet

Chasing good luck for SS and MM for the dermatologist - and big can of whup ass for your DP - he can't manage good behaviour for long can he?!

Well apparently having a cute baby gets you through airport security much faster!

Have struggled to keep up lately but will be off for a week so doubtless every time I check in there'll be a new thread. Hope everyone is doing ok. L's sleep has tentatively started to improve so will be interesting to see what effect a change of scene has.

happy birthday sophia

detective I think you need to send your DP out on a picture hunting IKEA mission!

good luck chasing sending you hugs and positive vibes xx

I am fed up of fucking snow

in laws are flying in on Friday with the possibility that they may stay with us for a day it two. given that our house is a shoebox, not sure how o am supposed to.fit them in and stay sane

MM how gallant of him! I am sure he has wonderful qualities but he does act like a fanny sometimes!

Happy fucking birthday sophia! Eat lots of cake!

Next ikea trip izzy we are going to get you a throw to wear for hand holding duties. I got one for £2. Hopefully buying it will mark the end on the hand holding - that's always what happens to me.

I'm watching heir hunters PR. I love the faux sincerity everyone adopts . . . "Yeah. I know I have received a windfall of several thousands of pounds but I am just sad that I didn't meet my seventh cousin Albert and that he died alone. I would have gone to visit him all the time"

I have fond memories of the shipping forecast and of the continuity announcer who is on at that time of night. The one who caused furore because he has a sort of transatlantic accent. I would imagine if I was listening to it every night months on I would be less fond.

Oh chasing I meant to say, I have attended meetings where the lack I immunisations was raised as a cause for concern but this was only as an example of a number of issues which built a picture of lack of care. Not having them yet or making an informed decision not to have them is not going to cause any concern. You are a tough cookie - much tougher than you know - SS will be able to offer you support in lots of ways. I am sure whoever comes to see you will be delighted to be able to support someone who is positive and engaged.
