Yay secret santa!!

Zamboni I come from a family of 5 girls, so I guess rather large. All but one lives close by and I actually live on the same street as my parents. We will be moving in April though, since DH will be graduating and starting his career. He actually got a job offer yesterday! But we will see where we end up. Anyways, I love having sisters and am secretly hoping my next baby will be a girl too.

[PetiteRaleuse]

Two bad tempered girls tonight. Slept too much at nursery. Thanks nursery.

[PetiteRaleuse]

Congrats on your dh's job offer Lydie

[Lily311]

Well done lydie.

Ok, serious question? Galaxy or dairy milk? You can't buy any of those here and I'm craving a nice galaxy milk bar.

[YellowWellies]

Lily Dairy Milk. Every time. Drool....

[PetiteRaleuse]

Ghost thread for you yw www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1919306-Have-you-ever-stayed-been-anywhere-you-thought-was-haunted?

[Passmethecrisps]

Love a woo thread. Not at all woo but love a wee read and manage to make myself thoroughly creeped out in the process

Vair excited about my ss!! I whooped when I got it!

Congrats and good luck lydie

[Passmethecrisps]

And I would have said galaxy hands down. Not a choccie person but do enjoy a wee galaxy. Galaxy caramels are deelish

[ChasingDaisy]

Am I the only person who can't stand galaxy?

Oscar scratched me on the face today and drew blood. Scarface wasn't the date look I was going for

[Sophiathesnowfairy]

Dairy milk, or indeed galaxy from the freezer. Heaven.

[BigPigLittlePig]

Gah my baby is broken. In daylight hours she's fine. When the lights go out all hell breaks loose. 50 minutes for bedtime so far, and counting. DH has been dispatched this time.

[PetiteRaleuse]

I quite like Galaxy caramel but last time I had Dairy Milk I was disappointed. I don't like chocolate on its own in fact. I lie it with toffee or caramel.

[CharleeWarlee]

What a fucking fortnight and a bit!!

Sorry to bring thread down and moan but.....
Remember on about 3 threads ago I posted about my BFP? That turned into a miscarriage on 9th November. Left hospital and DP says 'well that's a relief' (bear in mind I had stillborn before Zara at 34 weeks gone) could have gone fucking mad but couldn't be arsed to be quite frank

Next 5 days consisted of me staring into space a lot until 14th November (DPs birthday) who didn't get much because I couldn't afford much and moaned

Forward to the 16th and my grandad had a major stroke very unwell and left in hospital. So i go and help my mum (who has emphysema) clear his flat ready for when he gets out of hospital so it's more manageable for him.

Then comes the 17th (Zara's 1st tea party) and only his family come. Not 1 of my fucking family show. Not 1. Ok mum was at hospital with grandad, but my dad preferred watching some prerecorded bike racing, brother played his ps3 cause he 'needed to finish a mission' and my sister forgot?! (I had spoken other 2 hours prior to it starting)

Zara's birthday (18th) and I'm in lots of pain but DP drags me out around to all of his families houses to show them the birthday girl.

Should also mention DP had 2 weeks off work and went back this Tuesday. Just got my house back to normal an hour ago. Pissed off...I'm not sure completely why but maybe you could help me to see a reason why im so fucked off???

[PurplePidjin]

I had a mars bar yesterday, but would kill for something decent (it was the best of a bad lot in the tuck shop at youth club!) I'm still wary of caffeine although I'm almost certain R has grown out of his ishoos. I'm trying to diet though

[PurplePidjin]

That's a very long list of people you have to accommodate, Charlee, and a very short one of people accommodating you I'm sorry for your loss

[PetiteRaleuse]

charlee that is a lot to deal with at once. rant as much as you need to we are here. After a mc your hormones drive you mad and on top of that and dp not reacting in the way you may have expected... Plus the rest with your granddad. V hard. Give yourself time to rest, grieve if you need to. Normal to be pissed off. In a few weeks you will feel better. I hope Zara enjoyed her birthday.

Rant, we're here.

[Lily311]

Hugs charlie. Rant away. We are here. I'm so sorry.

[Lydiejo]

Speaking of chocolate.... Hershey's anyone?

Charlee I'm so sorry for your loss and the crap you have been though lately. You have every right to be feeling any sort of emotion including anger. You are probably pissed because you have been through an awful lot lately and cleaning up after people is the pits. Hoping you will feel better soon.

[CharleeWarlee]

Thanks ladies :)

Don't suppose is helps that DP also wanted a puppy from my mums litter back in July. She's now 20 weeks old and doesn't stop pissing and shitting all over the house. DPs dog so DPs responsibility right? Wrong

[PetiteRaleuse]

Is hershey's some American thing ?

[PetiteRaleuse]

charlee no, not dp's responsibility but for your own peace of mind now your's. I'm sure the doghouse can help, if you have a thick skin, but 20 wks isn't too old. He'll need puppy training classes though and you will need advice and the time. A project to help you through the next weeks? Could that work? Is he a nice pup otherwise?

[PetiteRaleuse]

The no not dp's responsibility was sarcastic btw

[Sophiathesnowfairy]

Love a Hershey's.

charlee and hugs. And chocolate.

[BrocklesSecretSanta]

Right, my work is done. I need to name change back now.

[PetiteRaleuse]

Next year's secret santa will ask for email addresses. Wil set the spreadsheet up to just fill the gaps and send on its own. I hope everyone got the messages and that they made sense. I managed ok until 20 in then started to panic that I was giving you your own lo's name etc
