Still got it wrong - fanny, not fancy. Although my fanny is fancy, obvs.

How does that help purple? Is it just freshness? I haven't started AF again yet.

RPopz · 10/12/2015 21:17

You can get a cream for non specific itching I think Dulce. If it's really bad.

purplewhale · 10/12/2015 22:05

Yes freshness, don't really know why though.

DulcetMoans · 10/12/2015 22:41

DH tells me we have some vagisil upstairs from one of the maternity packs so will give that a spin!

LaLaLaaaa · 11/12/2015 08:05

Not itchy but I get sore a lot - I think you're meant to be quite dry there from bf? Perhaps that causes it?

I'm also still getting pains in my stomach/uterus area from CS. Anyone else still getting those? Quite stabby sometimes.

Been up most of the night with miniLa. He'd done 3 nights of sleeping better with only 1-2 wake ups, but last night he obviously felt a bit rubbish. I'm finding that he is wide awake too so it's bloody hard to get him back to sleep!

Got nct Christmas party today - he's going to be a reindeer.

LaLaLaaaa · 11/12/2015 08:05

How's miniPopz? Any better on the own room and D&V front?

RPopz · 11/12/2015 09:22

He's been fine again since his car explosion yesterday morning.... 😱 Can't really work out if he's had a bug or just eaten something that's not agreed with him.

He went down in the cot in his own room again last night but was up every 3 hours.... So no real improvement on sleeping in our room. Sigh. He doesn't seem remotely bothered about not sleeping near me anymore though! Sob!

Enjoy the party La Xmas Grin

Hope the cream does the trick Dulcet!

Having my hair cut today but can't decide what to do!

PixieChops · 11/12/2015 09:29

I remember being quite itchy in the foof area- I just put it down to stitches and scarring though. If it's bothering you a lot go to the docs- could be thrush, I got thrush but didn't have the stuff that comes with it- was just really ducking itchy like I wanted to shove a loo brush up there and have a good scratch. I was quite young with no kids when I had it (too much shagging with bf at the time) and I remember doing a funny walk back to my car after uni with tears in my eyes as I tried to scratch it by rubbing my legs near it as I walked. I must've looked like a right weirdo. Grin

Popz hope the D&V has stopped, and hope the own room is going well.

That sounds really scary La! You poor thing and poor little B too. Bless him. Hope he's alright now.

Well it's the dreaded family holiday next week so if I'm not on much next week that's why. As there is bugger all service in Sherwood Forest. God I can't be arsed. I'm such a miserable bitch but I can't relax around his mum after the episode of her thinking I'm a twat because I said we may not want to spend every waking minute with her. Oh well. I don't give a fuck. Sure I'll have some stories to tell when I'm back that you can all laugh at Smile
We've ordered bikes anyway so I'll put a picture of me looking a stupid twat in a helmet.
Speaking of twats, my friend has a genius idea of having an empty kitchen roll with a cardboard sign on it saying "TWAT" which she can lift up when someone's being a nob when she's driving. Saves screaming at them and giving them the finger. Think I may make one for the journey to centre parcs

DulcetMoans · 11/12/2015 10:05

Great idea pixie, DH could use one of those - he's such an angry driver! Hope you find some joy on the holiday, even if it's an early night!

I'm having a haircut today too popz. I'm just going short! It's good minipopz has transitioned well, even if it's a little sad.

Shit night again here too la, but it's a cold causing it here I think. I hope! It's so tough when I can see he wants to be asleep but he just won't be put down. Spent 4-6am trying to get him down and he was just so tired and sad!

Have researched thrush and could be that. Says you can get it from antibiotics which I've just finished for mouth infection so that checks out. The vagisil we have is not a cream, is a wash thing. To the chemist I guess, grab a loo brush while I'm there pixie, that sounds like it could do the trick!

DulcetMoans · 11/12/2015 10:08

Oh, and CS pain la - yes, on and off. Defo coincides with doing more. The scar itself is usually ok, sometimes itchy or a light stabbing like with a needle. I do get tugging inside though if I've hard a particularly active day.

PixieChops · 11/12/2015 19:34

Hope you got your fanny sorted Dulcet!

Told ST that I'd had a dream last night that he enjoyed having stuff shoved up his arse (in a kinky way) such as cucumbers and dildos. He didn't even bat an eyelid but said "I had a dream too! We were really good mates with Jeremy Clarkson and we had dinner with him and his wife. He was really nice. The dream was well good".

Sounds fucking boring to me. I'd much rather dream about shoving things up his arse than Jeremy bleeding Clarkson.

Get the canestan pill and cream dulce - works brilliantly. Plus natural yoghurt. To eat or send foofwards Grin Sympathies. I used to get thrush all the time it is horrific!

I had the chop! Loving it!

Minipopz did another nappy burster this morning.... We were at home thank God so could hose him down in the shower. He's been fine again all day afterwards though, so confusing!

How was the party La?

Feel your pain pixie ... We've had a lot of MIL/ caravan holidays this year.... Take wine! WineWine

LaLaLaaaa · 12/12/2015 07:50

Ha ha pixie that cracked me up! I'd like to shove things up Jez Clarksons arse but not in a sexual fashion

Holiday with mil would be idea of hell! Are you taking gin?

Photos of the chop please popz!!

Nct party was good - miniLa did hit a little girl though oops! Think he was flirting

B is screamy. Think he's teething. He coughs on the spit he's producing because there's so much of it. He's sleeping crap again boo.

Started giving bottle at bedtime - he loves it, presumably because it tastes nice and it's quicker than boob. But I'm Sad that soon there'll be no more sleepy evening boob feeds. Hasn't made a difference to sleep!

LaLaLaaaa · 12/12/2015 07:52

I had thrush at a festival once. Oh my god that was uncomfortable!!! Couldn't wash so it was just there all
Itchy and hot. Put pessary up not realising it crumbles inside and falls out so I had bits of pessary in my pants for 3 days straight. Don't treat thrush at a festival folks! That was when me and dh got together and were shagging twice s day

PixieChops · 12/12/2015 09:07

It's teething time in our house too La. I'm not allowed upstairs as ST has been up 5 hours with R last night, so he's having a kip. I didn't even realise and slept straight through. Ear plugs are a fantastic invention Wink
Would've been good though if R would've behaved last night though as I really wanted to get to the veg market early this morning. To be fair if I had the pram I would've just gone anyway, taken the kids and left ST in bed but MIL has taken our pram because it's a big bugger and we wouldn't be able to take anything else to centre parcs with us in our car!
I don't really like gin or wine.... I like rum!

Yes Popz need to see pictures of the chop!

Here's a picture of R with a towel round his neck. I gave up on bibs in the house. He gets through about 10 a day. Better to just stick a tea towel round him.

Shagging twice a day. Those were the days weren't they La!
I'm not on the pill again as the Drs cocked mine up and I can't be arsed with the risk so back to cling film it is. Still don't know whether to go for the arm implant or get ST to have the snip. The Dr said we may want more kids though and the snip is really hard to reverse if not impossible...... AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! I did actually crack up when he said we may want more Children. No thanks. I love my two to the moon and back but I am done!

I had a sex dream about Jeremy clarkson once! Woke up really disturbed!!

ZylaB · 12/12/2015 09:33

Had my dodgy mole removed because they wanted to biopsy it, got to wait until second week in Jan for results....that's nice over Christmas "Wonder if I've got cancer?" Meh
I think I'm going to have ALL the food and wine on our holiday, see how much weight I can put back on lol

purplewhale · 12/12/2015 17:43

That sucks zyla I found a lump a few years ago and had to wait for mammogram results over Christmas too. Fortunately it was fine.

I've booked to get another mirena fitted in a couple of weeks. Can't wait for periods to fck off again. We may have another but not for at least a year.

B has hit another leap and is quite unsettled. We're taking him to friends tonight for food and wine, if we can get there. There's a lot of flooding around here and roads closed

PixieChops · 12/12/2015 21:41

Zyla that's really shit and I hope that the results come back negative. Sending positive thoughts and bags of strength your way.

OP posts:
RPopz · 12/12/2015 22:18

Hugs zyla - fingers crossed all is fine. Pathology depts don't close for Christmas though so tbh, no news is good news. I wouldn't think they'd leave it until after Christmas to tell you if it is malignant. Chin up girly x

Pics tomorrow, am sporting the drowned rat look today!

deeplybaffled · 12/12/2015 23:50

Zyla, hope it turns out to be something completely trivial.
Think we have entered the joys of leap 4 - lightning fast mood changes and a frequent general panic if she's left on her own, even if she can still see us. Oh, what fun.
On the bright side, she has started giggling which is very cute, bless her!

DulcetMoans · 13/12/2015 07:41

What a stress zyla, not what you need ever let alone at this time of year. Hopefully popz is right though and they would get in touch sooner if it was anything to worry about. Christmas is for treats so enjoy yourself - but in my experience it's a whole lot easier to put it on than work it off! Don't sabotage yourself with emotional eating, you're doing great!

If Jeremy Clarkson does come round your house pixie shove things up his arse instead, or down his thick dickhead face!

Do you think minipopz just has an upset tummy then popz? Or reaction to something you're eating?

I'm going to end up like one of those dogs dragging their arse around the floor trying to get this itching to fuck off! I've not had this before, it's horrible and very inconvenient! Glad I'm not at a festival though...

ZylaB · 13/12/2015 08:36

Thanks for the kind thoughts guys!
dulcet I hope you stop itching soon, it's awful!
Went to the cinema with some friends last nigh while mrZ had a night watching sport and eating curry with H, apparently popadoms are a hit lol! I really enjoyed it, but had to wake her up to feed her when I got in cos my boobs were full! It was so nice to go out though, my first night out alone since I've had her :)

EssiesInvisibleLlama · 13/12/2015 09:44

Can I join in? Sorry I sort of fell off the planet again on the jsing fred. Our internet has always been so crap and I lose the will from time to time but we've now been connected to fibre optic much to the horror of most of the rest of the village. It's amazing. We can stream films and everything, if only I was able to watch them without falling asleep.

Little llama is 15 weeks today. I js-ed for 2 years+ and then finally got upduff when I wasn't paying attention. He is fab but utterly shite at falling asleep. My whole life revolves around getting him to go to sleep. This mornings nap was achieved by putting him in sling, playing fur elise really loud and bouncing on a gym ball and he is still strapped onto me now. Once he is asleep he does sleep fairly well as long as I abide by his rules of not leaving his side (sling all day, limpet cosleeper at night. Sigh). I am still bfing him 3-4 times a night though. He is a gannet. I'm pretty titchy and he was nearly 10lb so has been eating me alive for the last 3 months. I am seeing this as a plus as it means I can stuff my face over Christmas and not feel too crap about it for once!

Anyway, Hi to everyone I 'knew' from before and Hi to everyone else too!
