Offers round and

Happy Birthday Seven! how is DS?

Fig, this was our last month ttc! So I really should've had it first

Eggs and toast with bowl and spoon = end of the world
Eggs and toast with fork and plate = happily eating at the table

Roll on bedtime

Thanks :)

DS is doing ok thanks, he's had some pretty awful mood swings but things seem to have calmed down a little today.

Hear you on that parttime! Both of mine are in bed, whinging atm (dealing with #2 so #1 is feeling abandoned).
Sounds like your DS knows how to charm people!!

Glad he's calmed down Seven, hope the Easter Hols are quiet!

Soooo many new babies!!!! I was just saying to DH that I couldn't possibly be thinking about number 3 I clearly am so soon. And yet Boba is (same age gaps y'now ), so maybe....

Do it. Do it. Literally do IT. Killer!

Seeing how DS1 & 2 interact makes me wish I was able to ping them out and get upduffed first month of trying!

Seven - hope DS is doing ok. And mac s's after steroids eliminates all potential side effects. FACT.
Mopsy - the danger if Brie is that the proper stuff is unpasteurised ( I believe), most of the stuff we get here is pasteurised, so I wouldn't worry too much.
Congratulations BOba.
I'm due any minute. I don't feel pg. But let's just all keep our fingers crossed. And I wouldn't leave you gels, this thread is fab. ...I might have a sneaky peak though...

Wow. That's amazing, congratulations Boba!
However, all congratulations are rescinded unless you mean you are only metaphorically deserting us to go to the other thread. Cos we're the best

But three in a week, good grief, is it something in the water? I'm like you figgy, totally - just told DP the news and he said 'they know they're all veryrudewordtoindicatehistotaljealousythatwecan't don't they'!!

I've been enjoying the threads recently aethel, the ridiculous rows one I read yesterday, snorting madly and being very glad I've never done Ikea... Jealous of your decent Chinese, we can't find one yet.

PTP- for us, biscuit broken in half and half given = big fat tears and biscuit hurled. Another identical but whole biscuit = happy munching. Sods

Thanks for all the (hugs), I had two hours awake last night as DS squawked and wailed for dummies, then I couldn't get back to sleep, so the twitch in my left eyelid that's been there for days continues...

Congrats to all for the BFP.

I started on 5mg at night of citalopram last night. To take that dose for a week - 10 days then up to 10mg at night. So will see if this helps my anxiety ishoos.

Hope it helps Queen. You've been feeling anxious for a fairly long while now so I really hope it helps you to get back on an even keel and enjoy life a bit more.

I'm already in my cot. Wrecked and pretty bad headache. But no migraines for 6 days... fingers crossed it stays this way.

Thanks Mopsy. Yay for no migraines too.

Hope you feel better soon qoc!!

Just finished work bloody rubbish got work to do tomorrow too.

DS came home from cm talking about the snowman from frozen he's mad on him apparently.

Still in love with Sarah and Duck here...

Really glad you've got something for the anxiety Queenie, stay on thread and let us know how you get on.

Night night mopsy, I'm right behind you as it were!

Figgy Sky likes the snowman too and Darcie loves singing Let it Go!

Thanks Northern

Boi watched Frozen today also. I don't know it. He watched it at the cm's in the early eve.
He also had dinner at the cm's, as normal, at around 3.
When I collected him at 6 he was hungry and demanded fish fingers and chips!! I had some potato wedges in the freezer that mum have me once. Luckily, he accepted that they were chips.
Phew!

My right arm went on mat leave today. Sniff! Don't know what I 'll do without her. she'll be back in jam/February next year. I will survive. Sniff!!!

For all that's being said about frozen being awesome I preferred tangled. So today is the first Friday I've had ds all on my own seems very strange in house without DH being here. Have to go swimming do some shopping going for lunch with a friend coming back to an empty house in the afternoon might make me more proactive in doing things.

Sorry excuse the rant but grrrr some people.

We moved house in the summer and were fortunate even to afford a fairly big house in the area we moved to ( from London to countryside plus hefty mortgage - doable but still stretching a bit). Ds1 started school in September and as I still work in London i therefore need a nanny to cover the child care angle, it seems this gives everyone else the right to comment on the size of our house and "it's alright for you, you've got a nanny" god knows what they think she does, it's just childcare she does while I'm working nothing else.

I'd never dream of commenting on the size of anyone else house, big or small so why is it fair game to have a dig at me. I'm not brash or flash or anything, drive a 7 year old car so it's not like I'm wearing designer shit or swanking around in a fancy car so why can't they bog off and leave me alone! This feeling came to ahead this ironing when I found out I won first prize in the monthly raffle that the school runs and the mum next to me said " money comes to money" which I found pretty rude and has put a right shitter on my day. Kicking myself as I should have said "did you mean to be so rude" but humph.

Sorry rant over just wanted to get the grump out

One last thing - the mum that said the thing has a DS who my DS seems to get in best with and she's been to my house so now feel double

P.s pls tell me to stop being such a twat if I am being one

That is very annoying hinky but you were the bigger person by not responding! People can be very judgy and 'grass to at greener' but I think it is just insecurity talking. It is hugely rude ever to comment on anyone else's income/size of house/car/whatever in that way.

'grass is greener' even. Bloody autocorrect

Did someone say they'd read apple tree yard? Just got it from the library I really went in to see what new DVDs they had but it felt wrong to not come out with the book as well. So Thor 2 it this weekend

got DS a set of timmy time mini books for 97p in our local poundland (there is a 99p shop around the corner and they are undercutting it hence 97p) I often go in there to see what books they have (and for an endless supply of batteries for all DS various toys) was in the queue behind some awful woman telling her little one in a buggy that he was going to get a smack and he had been a little shit all week and he was doing her head in people really don't give two stuffs what anyone thinks of them any more. Got to swimming and find them having to clean out the pool because some small child had crapped in it and the parents didn't even have the decency to mention it they just ran away and the lifeguards noticed it floating around. We got a credit note for the lesson and still got to go into the big pool which was quite fun actually he loves jumping in and though it was very cold compared to the normal small pool we got used to it quickly.

I also got a how to train your dragon activity Pack because dh is mad on that film (bless him) I'm sure he will love doing the activity book and stickers with DS and guess what I paid for that?? That's right 97p

Ooh hinky, how cheeky is that?! I sympathise with the grotty comment, we have a bigger house than a lot of the local ones, like you we moved from London to a cheaper suburb and traded up the mortgage. Get the odd ooh-you-must-be-loaded look from people when they realise where we live (it's not huge! Just a step up from the 2-3 bed terraces and semis) it's daft, but people just assume stuff.
In some schools nannies and childminders are the norm, but not all of them....

hinky that sort of thing would wind me up too. We haven't had anything too bad like that but my next door neighbour did express surprise that we are planning to send DD to the village primary school and said she'd assumed we would go private. Er, why??!

It hasn't been a good evening here. Poor DS pulled a wooden stool over on himself, which landed smack on the bridge of his nose. Managed to rush him up to the GP before they closed for the weekend. Nose too swollen to see if it's broken at the moment. Dosed him up with calpol. Got to keep an eye over weekend and take him to a&e if he gets worse or bleeding starts again. Have an appointment to go back to dr on Monday morning to get him looked at again. Only problem is we're supposed to be going to a wedding in Cheshire tomorrow, staying over night and coming home Sunday, leaving the DC's with my mum at our house. Will have to see how he is in the morning and decide if we can go, he was understandably upset and clingy until he went to bed tonight

faffin I bet he'll be fine, up in the morning and legging it around like he's been eating coffee...and will love time with Granny who will invariably feed him nothing but chocolate buttons for the entire time
Fingers crossed for you and DS.

Nice one on your bargains figster We had similar round our way with people being hideous to their children- I always said it was a miracle that I didn't come home from lunch/town at weekend with 637 extra children as there were so many grim examples of parenting. Toddlers falling over on the pavement, crying, and being told 'for fuck's sake X get up and fucking move' etc, etc

hinky, I think you should just by a tiara and ask that she kiss your hand the next time she sees you . And it took me a few moments to register the autocorrect about the ironing, made me wonder if you had joint competitive housework at your DCs' primary!

Really, truly shit day here, Mum's seriously not well and couldn't even keep water down. Then had a colleague that I've worked with for years be really unpleasant, with no cause whatsoever, and ended up having a blub in the toilets as it was the straw that broke the camel's back, so feel humiliated on top of everything else.

Oh no northern how awful. Hope your mum improves really soon (((hugs)))

Really hope your mum is feeling better soon northern. Sorry about the horrible colleague too.

faffin hope DS is feeling ok in the morning and not too sore.

hinky well done on not rising to it. I don't know anyone in RL who has a nanny, it's something that really isn't the norm round here and I'd probably assume you have more money than you do, I certainly wouldn't be as rude as to comment on it though!
