Maybe when the weather gets better we could run round the park straight after school one day? On one of J's nursery days? I say run. I would be more fast walking then crawl to a stop with a stitch!

Passmethecrisps · 01/02/2014 21:46

As in exercise pikz? I have done lots of gym stuff and like running. At the moment I am struggling to do anything beyond just work and dealing with p. Once she goes to bed it feels like about as much as I can do to just have tea and keep DH company for an hour. Know idea what's wrong with me.

I think trying to fit something in to the work day would be a good start as there is a fully equipped gym which I can use where I don't have a class either side of lunch. Once the weather is better and the evenings lighter I might feel more up for it

Pass I could bring Betsy to drag us around! Grin

Doesn't have to be exercise pass. Just something for you that you like doing.

I found an hour a week a good way to start anything . Find 1 hour in the weekend for your activity.

PetiteRaleuse · 01/02/2014 22:17

I have been on curfew for almost six months; banned from all sports centres. My exercise has been walking the dog. I've not dared run. I have a yoga mat and have given up every time. Partly because the dog tries to hump me when I lie on the floor (no-one else, just me) and partly because I'm so knackered from daily mopping, walk and insomnia I just can't be arsed :(

Passmethecrisps · 01/02/2014 22:52

I am so sorry for the way you have been treated pr. I read that ages ago and I simply didn't know what to say. It is so unjust

PetiteRaleuse · 01/02/2014 23:25

I have been treated brilliantly pass by everyone, including the lovely quichesters, except by my employers the curfew rules are there for a reason: to stop people going on the sick for fun. It has been months of no fun, but I had the choice to walk away or fight. I am better than what they chose to make me appear to be. So this curfew is fighting.

I will win

PetiteRaleuse · 01/02/2014 23:27

When life is a bitch sometimes you just have to be an even bigger bitch back.

^ Seriously.

GTbaby · 02/02/2014 00:46

Sry I don't post much. I'm usually so determined to sleep that as soon as A falls asleep I'm in a rush to sleep to.
How do u get the lo to go to bed at 7 and stay there all night? I can't remember what we did with H.

Ok he is asleep so I must join him.

Ps. Mil leaves in 5/6 weeks. Tkts not booked but they r keep to leave ASAP. I need a break.

Lily311 · 02/02/2014 06:04

I used to run 4 times a week. I loved it. Run the London half marathon and I got into the marathon as well but had a miscarriage when I started to train, than fall pregnant with o in March. I have a treadmill but haven't used it at all, it cuts off the electricity. I need to get it sorted as I'd love to run again.

Back Is fucked here. Very much so. I wanted to vomit last night bec of the pain. Thankfully o cried up and distracted me.

Going to my parents today. I might be getting 2 hours child free.

Lily311 · 02/02/2014 06:19

gt routine. That helped O to sleep through. And own bedroom. Happened at 6 months.

Evilwater · 02/02/2014 07:03

Well it's taken me an 1 hour and a half to get N back to sleep.

BigPigLittlePig · 02/02/2014 07:49

48hs sans orange and we have 12 hrs sleep.

Pass what you said is so true. I often wonder what is wrong with me, but have concluded it is modern life expecting too much of me.

YellowWellies · 02/02/2014 07:51

BP I agree motherhood and employment - family close by = no time for you. Sad

BigPigLittlePig · 02/02/2014 08:01

I had a total wobble and a good blub the other day about it tbh. Dhs family are hard hard work, popping over for a cuppa is nit relaxing, it can be a stressful ordeal. My family and closest friends are 90 mikes away. I have always felt we are tied here due to dsd and that was fine, I knew that from the off. But dh has changed his views if late, and I think, 18 months from now when my training is done, a move back up north is on tge cards. He got quite excited by the idea of a freshstart.

YellowWellies · 02/02/2014 08:24

BP no pun intended but it sounds like exactly what the doctor ordered! As for the oranges - its quite common for very acidic foods to aggravate reflux especially if its flaring up due to teething or meds dosages aren't quite enough - I'm sure you have and this is a daft question - have you been upping Fs meds as she grows?

YellowWellies · 02/02/2014 08:25

Flouncey haven't heard from you for a while - how are you doing love?

Sophiathestormfairy · 02/02/2014 08:42

Citrus would always affect DD1 with her tummy issues.

Sophiathestormfairy · 02/02/2014 09:40

No one can come in today, the house is a tip and it's going to stay that way. Grin day of rest and cooking Sunday lunch and all that.

BigPigLittlePig · 02/02/2014 09:43

Yep she's on 15mg now, started on 10 but she's gained 1.5kg in 3 months the porker.

Sunny day here so am about to go for a walk, lovely.

Zamboni · 02/02/2014 09:50

BP am in exactly the same boat. Lots of sympathy . It often sucks.

DD was 3 on Friday. Today we were supposed to be having a little party for the family we have (DH's side) which are local. DH and I have had an almighty row. He lied about something inconsequential, I caught him out, he attempted to gaslight me rather than admit it. I lost the plot. In the heat of the moment I told him to leave, it was over and we had better think about cancelling the party. He immediately got on the phone to relatives and told them the party was cancelled as we have split up. So now they are all involved in the drama, ringing me every 5 minutes and I feel embarrassed about the cancellation (I would have had it anyway) but also how this has escalated an argument to something else. I don't know what I want to what to do. I'm more furious he has deliberately involved other people into our fight. DH has now gone to collect DSD and then see his DPs. I think they are all coming back here. DD wants to see them but I don't want to get into the drama. Own DPs are further away than usual (another continent) and I have no family close by to help me breezily carry on, which is what I would prefer. I don't want to talk about things.

I'm fucking sick of DH being an occasional twat but most of the time he's great. But when he is a twat it's real twattery.

He doesn't want to leave. He's sorry etc. I don't have a clue what I want or what to do. Plus I am fucked for childcare if I follow through.

Shit.

BigPigLittlePig · 02/02/2014 10:03

Sunday dinner chez pig zamboni? Let it all blow over then sort it this evening when kids are in bed. Sort of thing that dh would do, really fucking annoying.

Zamboni · 02/02/2014 10:10

Thanks for the offer, BP, that's very kind. DH has the car and tbh I'd rather just potter at home. Plus if I take the DC and DPIL can't see them/DD to give her her presents then it will just make things potentially unpleasant there which I could do without. So thank you, but I'll decline.

I'm just cross he got on the blower immediately. It wasn't like the party was in 30 mins, it was in 5 hours time.

ValiumQueen · 02/02/2014 10:14

Big big big hug Zamboni x Please channel the braveness of the quiche to focus on DD and giving her a lovely day. She doesn't deserve this, and your DH was a twat to act as he did.

PetiteRaleuse · 02/02/2014 10:15

Textbook manchild. (((Hugs))) Zamboni
