[TheOnlySeven]

Offers round and

Not noticing the wrinkles too much but I found 2 white hairs this morning, I thought when u start doing grey they started under your hair line?? I'm going to go with them being a pigment free freak hair.

Big spag Bol and chocolate for afters....that 7lb will be 9 lbs soon enough

Anyone want a Chocolate Caramel Shortbread finger? Looks so pretty I don't want to cut it yet! For dnephew bday party tomorrow

Oooh choc chip cookies and caramel shortbread. Jealous.

I get random greys on top of my head figgy and I hate it! I'm a curly head and they are so course and wiry. I never dye and don't want to have to start

Anyone watching Moone Boy? Loving it!

We've just got 'Trapdoor', via the new on-demand via Amazon Prime, am reliving my childhood
"Don't choo open that TRAPDOOR, cos there's something down THERE" duh duh, duh!

Shortbread looks lush mopsy, 'tis DP's fave.

You've fallen off my threads. Lurching from lurgy to lurgy and trying to fit in DIY around work and children. Urgh exhausted

I fell off too. Really worried about DH. Poor thing has had dihorroea and stomach pains since Wednesday, he phoned OOH less than an hour ago and is now on his way to hospital to see the OOH doctor.

Will catch up when I have time.

Hinky I'm same about lurgy I am utterly drained of energy with this one, can barely get up energy to take DS out today prob didnt help he jumped on my head at 7am shouting wake up mummy his speech soooo much better these days

He's sat watching curse of the were-rabbit ATM so don't think he's bothered anyway but will muster strength to take him out somewhere or he'll be horrid by tea time. Curry for tea tonight try To shift this stuff.

Seven hope dh is ok!

We'll have no more thread plague, thankyouverymuch.

Hope your DH is ok seven.

Am drooling over the baking, but I must be good. A weekend with the inlaws has left me in a biscuit induced sugar coma.

Am seeing oi and bennybenbear on Wed for a meal, have had to pre-order food and am really looking forward to it!

So, I'm going to Wales in the summer, with my folks and my sis and her bunch. Should be fun. DH looks like he'd rather lick the cat's arse than come with, but I think he will as the lure of hiking around the welsh countryside and utilising parents as free babysitting is quite strong. If I kill my mother by accident, you'll be my alibi, right? She's already doing meal plans for the week. Last holiday with parents was a week in Cornwall when DS was 6 months old. He refused to sleep. It refused to stop raining. He got hand foot and mouth. DH clearly wanted to divorce me and my mother. So fingers crossed it goes better this time! I'll turf him off to the pub with my BIL if it all gets a bit much for his delicate sensibilities.

Lovely weekend was had by DS, playing with both sets of grandparents and his cousins. He did get headbutted in the face by my niece, as she wasn't keen on him going in for a kiss, bless. He took it on the chin though. Drive home was a bit grim, he screetched and stropped for the last half hour and I was so busy shouting trying to get him to calm down that I took the wrong exit off the motorway and DS is now repeating the lovely phrase 'OH FOR FUCKS SAKE! FUCKS SAKE MUMMY!' which I thought he had forgotten but evidently slipped out of my mouth when I realised where we were.

Shite mother emoticon anyone?

Tea?

Hop in our house everything is rubbish according to DS, football's rubbish (he might be on to something there), teddy is rubbish, anything on tv that's not octonauts is rubbish, I'm rubbish though when he says that to me I tell him no he's rubbish and then we go round and round as to who is rubbish which while cute doesn't set a good example either

Mostly today he has been screaming 'NO!' In my face. I am at maximum tolerance for tantrums. Thankfully he's not currently asleep on the sofa so perhaps when he wakes up I'll be a bit more sane.

I am practising my best "no, she just walked into that knife-lined pit all by herself officer, can't think why one of those would turn up in the Brecon Beacons, perhaps a hangover from the Celts?" speech on your behalf Hop
Sounds like you'll either have a brilliant time or death and divorce, but I'm guessing the first one... and I feel for you on the 'Fuck's Sake' bit, we've managed to convince everyone that DS is saying "Fox", like Fox's Socks, and nothing to with what DP exclaimed when DS accidentally kicked him in the eye...

How's your DH seven, did he get anywhere with the OOH?

Really sorry to hear you've been so ill hinky- weirdly, I know lots and lots of people who've been OK over winter and have now come down with lurgy in March. Something's doing the rounds, and it's crap when you just can't shake it.

Ended up walking about 5-6 miles today, as did my usual mile or so to the bus...and then the plumber texted that he could come round at the same time DP texted to say he'd been called out, and I'd need to collect DS. Cue immense power walk of about 3 miles home, sort stuff with plumber, another mile back to the train station and then half a mile to the nursery. I have blisters...but on the upside, I have a functioning outside tap, hurrah !!

Wow that's some walk Northern. Nice one.

Good luck Hop. Prob all been through something similar. Can be difficult sometimes ...

Neck finally on the mend yay. Still taking the wheatbag to bed though (new favourite thing) but I read a horrifying story about one igniting as someone left it under quilt and it kept on heating up, so being v careful!

I didn't think I'd be this impatient when TTC no. 2. It is still 5 days until my period is due and I am obsessing about possible symptoms... even though we only started trying this month! Getting pregnant the first month we started trying with minimopsy has made my expectations way too high. I am convinced my boobs are bigger some days, then other days I think I have imagined it (with minimopsy my boobs got huge about a week before my period was due). I have also had two migraines. Remember last time and the horrors of the 5 days a week being completely incapacitated with the awful awful painful migraines? But I often get migraines anyway and I am prob imagining the boob thing. I have also been having random twinges in my upper left bum/lower left back where I had the SPD last time. But I randomly get them anyway. So basically am TOTALLY overthinking it and need to CALM DOWN and get a life! Is also making me very scared of being pregnant again as it was so awful last time. Feel like I couldn't cope with the migraines again.

DS has decided that he hates everything and everyone he came home from cm yesterday saying he hated his friend Zack and she said they put a film on after they got back from school run and he was stamping his feet shouting no no hate it no idea where that's come from

he's also decided he doesn't want his high chair anymore he has to sit at the kitchen table on a normal seat but he's too little still so needs to sit on cushions. Getting a booster seat (and a wipe down placemat) ASAP.

Mopsy I was same last year I went a bit mad after the mc symptom spotting and testing every month in the slim chance. I got pg with DS in about 6 weeks of not really trying and then on 1 irresponsible night last year so I'm expecting it to be really easy next time too but you just can't know.

I was feeling ok with waiting until next year but then last night dh asked DS if he wanted a brother or a sister and it just made me want to drag him off and have him impregnate me immediately I just know when we do get to it I'm going to a ovulation and temperature charting monster who he won't want to come near anyway

It is hard not to be a bit obsessive isn't it?

I am definitely not going down ovulation/temp charting route. Want it to be fun, not stressy! Nothing like having to have sex to put me off it!

We too have high-chair refusal. dS is now on a nose level with the table as he also refuses cushions/boosters! At some point he will end up with sweetcorn in both nostrils, but hey....

Minim has been sitting on a big chair for several months now. She is quite low but so much easier than high chair hassle

Hi everyone,

DS has a booster seat now rather than a high hair as he had a really hard to clean high hair which I got fed up of!

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you Mopsy!

Ah, bedtime fail tonight. Tantrums and screaming and me stropping off and slamming the door three times. Seriously cant seem to keep the my temper in check at the minute. Don't think I need Toddler Calm, think I need bloody anger management or something. Feels like me and DS constantly shouting at each other these days. I'm meant to be the grown up FFS. Need to get a grip.Do have mega PMT at the minute too.

And I've run out of gin.

Hop I think we all have those days! I find DS usually wants a cuddle after throwing a tantrum, he seems to know when I'm ready to leave the room! The best bit of advice I had was ''don't end the day on a fight'' so maybe see if he wants a cuddle or some books or something like that? If he's already asleep give him a kiss :)

My mum said when I got too much (apparently I was the worst toddler ever!) she just used to put me in my cot and stand outside the back door and have a cigarette then come back to me. She said if I was screaming that much another couple of minutes wouldn't make a difference! My mum is lovely btw!

I just feel like all day is a fight at the minute. I'm not just got fed up of the hitting/headbutting/screaming and I can't find a trigger for it more than often than not. Urgh.

I'm just fed up, even.
