This will sound weird. But booby cuddles with A are great. My boobs r big I hate them. Have Always considered a reduction. But watching a feed with his arm over my boob like he is cuddling it is to cute.

chasing your bloody gorgeous, don't let what one man thinks get you down. There will be tonnes of others who will find you attractive.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 23/11/2013 19:15

Grrrrr. Angry twunt.

fruitpastilles · 23/11/2013 19:16

That sounds so sweet gt

PurplePidjin · 23/11/2013 19:16

Chasing tag me in a pic and I'll get a proper opinion off dp. Pop it on normal fb not the group (fr me if necessary) and he can tell you himself :)

They're doing what they were meant to do GT

Sophiathesnowfairy · 23/11/2013 19:17

chasing sensible head on. What fruit says. One for the journal! Keep going. You are beautiful inside and out. Best not mince words or waste time on people. Move on.

NEXT.

PetiteRaleuse · 23/11/2013 19:41

chasing sorry it didn't work out

gt so glad you are enjoying bf'ing :)

fruit am I going to bankrupt myself if I go there? I've only ever been in one once before but you guys seem to mention it a lot. Never been in primark.

fruitpastilles · 23/11/2013 19:47

Definitely pr you do get some really good deals, sometimes it's like a bit of a jumble sale though. I swear some of the clothes in there are seconds aswell, dp got some Levi jeans and they weren't the length they were supposed to be. I don't really like it for clothes, more for housey things.

fruitpastilles · 23/11/2013 19:50

Primark's ok, I've got S a few things from there, I don't rate it as much as everyone else does but each to their own an all that!

GTbaby · 23/11/2013 19:52

Chasing Shock dont be down heartened. He means he is not attracted to u not ur not attractive , two very different things. Maybe he could have put it better, but you know what, it's an experience. A story to tell. Pls don't let it put u off.

Pr tkMax can be cheap for some things (grow bags) but (relatively) expensive for others. It's a bit hit n miss. My local one looks like a jumble sale. I like it for house hold things but hate looking through the clothes.
Primark I always go in to find a bargain, but always get frustrated at a) the mess b) the millions of items in just one size.

ValiumQueen · 23/11/2013 19:53

Chasing, some people like gorgeous petite blonde angels like yourself, some people like fat old grey-haired birds like me. Just because one person has said they do not find you attractive, does not mean you are not attractive. If I were a bloke, I'd do ya ;-)

Sophiathesnowfairy · 23/11/2013 20:05

Word vq

GTbaby · 23/11/2013 20:28

VQ. Well put. I'd do ya to Wink

YellowWellies · 23/11/2013 20:36

Chasing I bet he meant chemistry. And let's face it we can't all have that special chemistry with everyone or else the world would grind (ooer) to a halt for one massive shag! Did you feel chemistry for him or are you just sad because he said he didn't for you? One sided chemistry / relationships don't work - you don't want to be the one that loves the other more - that's a recipe for pain.

The one that is for you will not walk by you my love. And you never have to persuade the one that you are worth loving - they won't be able to help themselves!

Jonas is squeaky and miserable today. He nap avoided from 10 am to bedtime and for the first time since he was 4 months old DH has had to drive him round to get him off to sleep Sad . He is proper in pain poor lamb. It's either teeth or DH accidentally gave him trace dairy by eating a bloody great choc cake at the same time as feeding him his lunch and not being careful with crumbs. I'm not saying a word as he's beating himself up but WTF I've given up dairy (like nice fookin choc cake) for 11 months and he couldn't wait twenty minutes to eat a cake Envy. This is why it's mothers who BF not Dads!!!!

ChasingDaisy · 23/11/2013 20:48

I actually liked him. Found him attractive. Thought we were getting on really well. I'm a fool. No more dating for me now. I'm not strong enough to deal with the rejection right now. I'm also not strong enough to be alone right now. Shit place to be.

ValiumQueen · 23/11/2013 20:53

You are not a fool Chasing.

ValiumQueen · 23/11/2013 20:54

YW it sounds more like teeth to me. What time did the cake get eaten?

ValiumQueen · 23/11/2013 20:54

Sorry, missed the lunch bit. See Chasing, I am the thread fool not you Smile

Sophiathesnowfairy · 23/11/2013 20:59

chasing I think if anyone said they didn't feel emotionally beat up and small and shit about themself by someone saying they didn't find them attractive they would be fibbing or extremely extremely thick skinned

I think you are allowed a wallow.

But you are by no means a fool and you should keep going. yw is right the one Whois for you won't walk by you. Xx

YellowWellies · 23/11/2013 21:19

Sophia is right - anyone would feel ubercrap on hearing that but at least he was honest and didn't try and string you along. Give yourself a break to the New Year love. New Year new start xxx

I've just watched the Tony Robinson prog on Stonehenge.... gah I miss the Neolithic landscape of southern England. Fookin wanderlust. Was instantly on Rightmove checking out my favourite places - Glastonbury, Oxford, Bath. Man I have expensive taste and would need to ship down a Scottish Munro or two! Grin

GTbaby · 23/11/2013 21:23

Project get A to sleep in bedroom day 1. He last 45mins.
I think that is great for first time alone in a crib. For a baby who mainly co sleeps(Desperately trying not to compare to H).

Tbh I'd be happy him staying down stairs with us till we go to bed however fil is back from hospital and he watches tv loudly so no hope of A sleeping down stairs.

But I guess it's good for him to get used to his cot.

Been thinking about sleeping arrangements today. Don't know what is going to happen. Frustrating as a decision needs to be made soon as A is long and will grow out of crib soon.

Anyway babbling.

Question. Anyone wear support pants? And recommendations? BlushBlushBlush

BigPigLittlePig · 23/11/2013 21:52

GT lol to magic pants - no idea, but I have a good friend who swears by them - she has some that go from her knees to under her boobs Grin.

Chasing ((hugs)) rejections a bugger. So I'm told. But am cowardly and have never ever put myself out there, merely loitered on the sidelines whilst my heart got trampled all over.

Happy birthday (albeit a little late in the day) to M, L and O - looks like they all had fab days. Fs single bday pressie in the corner of our lounge looks very meagre compared to Os stash! But am hoping she lurves it as much as I do. The cake, which came this close [ ] to going in the bin, has been redeemed and looks bloody amazing!! Am dead chuffed with it. And of course dairy free so F can have some.

Bedtime - has gone to shit. But this evening I discovered that her screaming is not distress but is a huge motherfucker of a tantrum at being left Shock. Head back, blood curdling screams - but not one single tear. I went back in at 1 minute, then 2, then 3 - was going to string it out to 5 weak willed mummy alert but it all went quiet as she had cuddled up to her bear and gone to sleep. DH is on strict instructions to weigh F on his day off, so we can accurately dose her raniditine. Have given a higher dose again (thanks pass for calculations once more).

Any other quiche babies who share Fs birthday tomorrow?

Zamboni · 23/11/2013 21:56

Apologies in advance for a ranty me-me-me post.

Fucking not-so-'D'H and his tendency to tell fibs when caught out. It drives me fucking crazy. He's such a man child sometimes. I've just spat venom at him but he is currently clinging to his bullshit. It's always on such inconsequential stuff too. I asked him if he'd farted. He said no. He obviously had. Apparently because I didn't specifically ask where the fart occurred he wasn't lying as he hadn't farted in the room in which the question had been posed. What a fucking bell-end. I am raging. AngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngry

He just totally fails to accept the fibbing has (a) occurred and ( b ) matters. And always, no matter how fucking obvious, he clings to the lie. Resolutely fails to back down. Grrrrrrr. Knob.

BigPigLittlePig · 23/11/2013 22:03

Zamboni I hear ya. According to celebrity jungle (proper facshual) men tell an average of 1092 lies EACH YEAR. Figures.

YellowWellies · 23/11/2013 22:09

Zamboni I know the lying matters. But I'm giggling a bit that its about farts... sorry proper immature I know!

Woo actually Chasing if you find someone you can fart in front of - they're a goody!
