December 2012: we thought the terrible twos were bad, here come the threenagers!

[Barbeasty]

Spangly new thread.

Oh and as to wobbly bits... Let me know if you figure that out. I need to give up eating. It doesn't do me any good!

Oh yes, the food - yesterday I balanced a salad with cheesecake!!

I'm not doing great right now. It's too hot for exercise! Plus I'm eating too much chocolate again!

I know it's about 80/90% what you eat and only about 10/20% exercise plus the unhelpful thought that when I have done sport I can have more cake

It is 34 here today and due to shoot up to 40 in a couple of days

Nut it's probably only early 20s here but have No Clothes. I have a really limited summer wardrobe anyway and this year it's all two sizes too small. Today I'm in 3/4 sleeved jersey and skinny jeans.

I have promised myself that next year - when our income is stable and I'mnit feeding - will be different and I will have nice clothes

goat not sure if the pennies will stretch this far but I've had some really nice bits from tesco and sainsbos that have been literally a few £. A summer dress I wear quite a bit and always get compliments on was £10 in the tesco sale about 5 years ago. It's pretty thin but so much the better for a heatwave! Any old jeans or trousers you can cut off into shorts? Perhaps stuff that you will be too slim for next year?

If I get a reasonable nights sleep (please dds!) will get up early to run before it gets too hot. Feeling quite anxious too so sleep will help.

I've got nectar points but time to rummage! Plus next year I won't be feeding, at least not during the day, so won't need access. Anything I buy now at least for my top half won't be what I'd actually like (because of needing boob access) so it feels wasteful iyswim?

I never had clothes with particular boob access, just lifted up or unbuttoned - brazen hussy that I am! Considering I fed T til she was 3, I would have been a long time in special clothes!

Had a beautiful peaceful run this morning, got back and everyone was till fast asleep - ahh!

So do I, but all the buttony things I've seen are fugly! And I don't like lifting up I seem to end up with miles of fabric under my chin. So vest tops and cardigans it us, most of which have ragged bits

2 pairs of linen trousers 99p each in age uk this morning. Result!

Got drunk Sunday and told dd she could skip school yesterday and go to the beach

😂 best place to be!

No Goat, my lovely airconditioned office has made work far more pleasant an idea that usual this week! Unlike the distinctly un-airconditioned train I'm sitting in for the journey home....

We have air con at work but it isn't great. Currently in the garden under my gazebo. It's 33 degrees...

Good work goat!

Bargain Goat

Wrecked i considered keeping H off yesterday as well i was worried about the heat and her being a ginge. I know that sounds so PFB.

Beasty that train journey does not sound nice at all.

I've been doing picky teas this week and not stressing about how much H eats. It turns out she is actually doing much better than i thought she would. She loves making her own wraps.

Summer holidays now! Woo hoo! Can't wait to fill it with loads of fun (no doubt expensive) things

Dm is in hospital. She's away this week on a pre planned holiday (uk) with mil (they are very close) who just rang to tell me.

Oh no WL I'm sorry to hear that, what has happened?

Looks like she has an infection. Waiting for blood results to find out more but she's had 3 lots of ABs and is apparently on the up.

I had a feeling all day today that she wasn't well. I went for a run (with dd1 on the bike) to try to calm my anxiety.

And today I left the handbrake off my car in the car park and it rolled into another car. Sigh.

WL I'm sorry, you sound a bit worn out at the moment. I wish there was a practical way we could help.
We're here for whatever moaning you need!

I am knackered. The DC are driving me nuts. They aren't sleeping great which means that I am also not sleeping well which makes for hyper, demanding children who want to be carried and or entertained every waking second. and a grumpy mummy

My mum seems to be a servant to her DH/partner - last time we came he was busy Monday to Friday with a student; I think having some work to keep him busy was good for them both. My Mum has always served her men and it gets frustrating. If we are having a conversation and he walks in the room he will talk to her, she will reply and if necessary leave to go with him to sort out whatever he wants/needs.
She has always been this way. I know she is this way with men. It still pisses me off. They will always be her priority.

It is starting to bother me and it's making DH and I both question what we will do next year...

Thanks nutella. Putting it on here helps a lot. I rang the lady who's car it was and she was super nice and understanding.
That sounds very frustrating re your mum - just tell dh not to get any ideas!! What about next year?
My dds are the same - last weeks sleep was awful and we were all ratty. It's a bit cooler now so hopefully better sleep and they can lie in / chill out in the mornings now school has broken up (when they don't have holiday club!)

Sounds completely shitty WL for the weekend.

Mine haven't been sleeping in the heat dd has still been up at 9:30! Cooler now though.

Nutella are you in the uk? That would drive me mad too. It's like the patients at work whose husbands take for/over them I hate it.

One little boy (2.6) at work today came in usual viral thing always in and I noticed he's had 70 appointments with us in his short life
