Well played VQ

Says you are, Luis?

LuisGarcia · 26/05/2013 01:37

I can't see it and don't get emails anymore

LuisGarcia · 26/05/2013 01:50

Oh I found it Blush

Bryzoan · 26/05/2013 01:52

I would say 'enjoy it' izzy - but of course you won't be wake reading. I'm not jealous... Envy

Had a stupid row with dh earlier. Too petty and dull to type out - he is just working long hours and I think we're both suffering from not enough down time - together or by ourselves.

Bryzoan · 26/05/2013 01:54

How are you doing luis? Are you managing to get out and swim at all? I hardly dare ask about your knees.

LuisGarcia · 26/05/2013 02:03

My knees are fucked. I think that is a given for the foreseeable.

We are emerging from a hellish couple of weeks. Emerging is the word I am focusing on there.

I love the cow me home tonight thing. That is exactly the kind of crazy brilliance J would come out with. I'd sacrifice my elbows too if it meant L came out that way as well.

PurplePidjin · 26/05/2013 03:53

Go. To. Sleep. And. Stay. There.

Ffs.

You are NOT getting fed every hour. Every time i swallow, it feels like hot knives stabbing the back of my throat. I have back ache in three places. And a temperature. Go. To. Sleep!!

(yes he's had calpol in case it's infectious not stress induced)

Bryzoan · 26/05/2013 04:32

Oh pidj :-(. Sounds horrible. Hope he does as as he's told. On the plus side he prob won't get it, badly at least. Antibodies and all that... Flowers

Sorry to hear things have been so rough luis. May your emergence be continuing and speedy. I am sure L, G and the rest of them will all amaze us with their brilliance too. I am loving seeing R and G grow. They fill my heart with more joy than I ever could have imagined. Especially when they are sleeping. They are so simillar and so different all at the same time, it is weird.

Dixiebell · 26/05/2013 04:33

Pidj, sounds horrible. Hope you're getting some sleep now.

2nd feed since DF here. So own room not the amazing cure all, but at least no worse than usual Hmm.

Lily311 · 26/05/2013 04:37

Seems I missed a lot. Sorry. Anniversary was yesterday and I cried a lot. Mostly in the evening on my own. I feel utterly heartbroken, a year without him. But today is a new day and it's children's day in Hungary - so all about O and my nieces and nephews. We are going to bake a cake, play in the garden and just appreciate of our little ones.

chasing he is a dickhead. You did so well emailing women's aid. Baby steps. I am not from a broken home but my sister separated from her husband in January. The three kids blossomed in the past few months, nightmares stopped and they see their father more than before, their relationship was never violent but the arguments were loud and often.

evil huge hugs for you too.

vq are they awake yet?

O is still asleep, she finally started to sleep through. 2 nights ago she had a dream feed at 2 (I got up and decided to feed her) and slept till 6 am. She went down at 7 last night, woke at 3.30 to feed her and she is still asleep. I will stop feeding her overnight if she carries on sleeping well but a week ago she was waking 7 times so I'm a bit cautious.

The cow me home sign is just adorable. I want O signing.

ValiumQueen · 26/05/2013 06:12

Big hug Lily x the first year is over and I have heard that is the hardest. I am immensely grateful I have never lost anyone that close. Grandparents although always a sad loss, are expected. I think you are incredibly brave x I think it is lovely today is children's day. How very fitting x

ValiumQueen · 26/05/2013 06:13

Jacob slept until 5.45 and woke up screaming! I have heard movement from the guests, and he has been congratulated Grin

Pikz · 26/05/2013 06:26

Well done Valium prince we knew we could rely on you!!

Lily I am full of admiration and hugs. What you have done is incredible. Very fitting today is children's day. Give O an extra big squidge. Xx

Bryzoan · 26/05/2013 06:49

Well done for getting through it Lily. You've done amazing things this year.

PetiteRaleuse · 26/05/2013 06:51

Lily big hugs.

vq that must feel good. :o

Not a bad night here.

fruitpastilles · 26/05/2013 07:10

Hugs pidji
Well done ValiumPrince hehe
lily huge hugs to you. I was thinking of you yesterday, and I know the rest of the quiche would have been also. You are so strong. Enjoy children's day with O xx

Well I didn't have to sleep on S's floor last night Smile she slept 6:45 - 6 with just 2 wakings for dummy/handholding and went back to sleep within 15 mins both times, hopefully we have turned a corner.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 26/05/2013 07:16

lily I feel for you. Hugs from me too. Xx

vq hooray Valium prince. You will get an outstanding in your performance reveiw! Grin

stunt thanks. My two big boys are flying in today. I, unfortunately, won't be over now till beginning of Sept because I need all my hols to manage my leaving of work most effectively. I will defo be up for a meet then.

Chasing I can not jump on the bandwagon quick enough. My ex h was an emotional bully. I should never have married him, I didn't really love him I was just worried about being left on the shelf because I had such a low opinion of myself. I see so much of my old situation In Yours though he never physically abused me. I gave up all my old friends because they were not good enough for him. Unfortunately I did not manage the situation ( though I tried church marriage courses and counselling to try and make him see what he was doing) and I met my now husband before I left him. This is why I am in the mess I am in now with my girls. He can blame the whole break up on my Dh and not take any responsibility for it himself. He is still a bully to me but I let it wash over me because I am generally so happy and in actual love.

My DD1 stopped having toilet accidents when we spilt.

Sometimes even now I go to Tesco and I whizz round and stand in The queue and go to text DH to assure him I won't be long as I am scared I will get in trouble for being to long. Then I remember he is not my ex h.

I have my, obviously, very loyal friends back and I got my life back the day I left.

Do it now before you end up struggling to take O with you or you do something stupid like fall in love with the one. Believe me there is a wonderful wonderful life out there.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 26/05/2013 07:41

Has anyone else read, and feel concerned about the results of the leggings under dresses straw poll? Shock

ValiumQueen · 26/05/2013 07:54

I am guessing it is frowned upon? If so then I am worried Confused

katkit1 · 26/05/2013 08:06

I just threw away all my tunic style dresses last week.

I can see my kangaroo pouch now - and am properly working on it at last.

Blinkers have been on regarding 4 stone pregnancy weight gain.

katkit1 · 26/05/2013 08:06

And leggings - gone

Sophiathesnowfairy · 26/05/2013 08:14

Yes, it is no longer acceptable by all accounts. Hmm will need to buy longer dresses me thinks.

Have to say put some leggings on under a short dress the other weekend and did actually think I was looking a bit mutton!

katkit1 · 26/05/2013 08:19

My dad who is 82 wondered if someone had had a knee op when he saw the dress/leggings combo

katkit1 · 26/05/2013 08:19

They were short white leggings just past the knee - like support hospital stockings

Kyzordz · 26/05/2013 08:26

Morning all, hope good nights were had!

well done mini vq!

poll?
