Right think its my bed time, goodnight

mustrunmore · 07/07/2007 22:46

I ws thinknig that, I'm fighting to keep my eyes open! Night night xx

CantSleepWontSleep · 07/07/2007 22:46

Blimey, I turn my back for a minute and you all turn up and chat without me!

You don't need a new man yet Kel. Just some friends who can make you laugh. I recommend befriending some gay men - they make fab friends. I miss my gay ex work colleague that I've somehow lost touch with .
I think ignoring your ds when he's in a strop is the best course of action, yes.

(Phoenix - mrm wasn't MaccaPacca).

CantSleepWontSleep · 07/07/2007 22:47

Night then. I'll just talk to myself for 5 mins then go up too.

mustrunmore · 07/07/2007 22:50

I love gay men; so much easier!! But what she needs is friends for the important stuff, and a man just for sex, and never mix the two.It took me a long time to suss that out, but its the best set up for life!!

CantSleepWontSleep · 07/07/2007 22:51

This is a great thread, with the most fabulous title!

CantSleepWontSleep · 07/07/2007 22:51

So is dh just for the sex then mrm?

KelBelle · 07/07/2007 22:52

I'm still here, just discovered the single parent bit on mumsnet!!! Blimey, how long have I been on here????

I'd love a gay BF CSWS, that would be fab!!!

CantSleepWontSleep · 07/07/2007 22:53

lol Kel. We always told you you should spend more time on here .

mustrunmore · 07/07/2007 22:54

Ah, well, csws. At first he was for the sex. Now he's for the wages and giving the boys their breakfast

KelBelle · 07/07/2007 22:55

I think my main problem is that I still love my DH, even though he is a twat and has treated me bad when he is nice he is really sweet and I miss him a lot. Do you think I will miss him forever?? I just want a cuddle and someone to curl up with and to be honest I would like it to be DH. It's been 5 months and I'm still so down about the whole thing, I'm starting couselling soon not sure if it will help or not but I'm hoping so. I just wish DH knew what he was missing out on especially where DS is concerned.

mustrunmore · 07/07/2007 23:01

Well, I think its harder because you have ds to think about. But you will get over dh, trust me, When I got divorced, alot of it was the habit I missed, and the familiarity of dh eg like his aftershave smell on clothes, borrowing his jumpers for telly watching, the ease of knowing whateach other liked etc etc. I also saw alot of people afterwardsthat, in retropsect, werent rightfor me, but at thetime it was impossible to tell if they really werent, or if it was just made complicated by the me and dh situation IYSWIM.Then I met dh, and felt very very at home with him I never think about ex now, not for years.

csws will now come on and say something much more profound and useful than I have

Flamesparrow · 07/07/2007 23:05

Back. DS is still screaming. I did get mum to take photos of me though so will upload in the morning - you can then see me in October, and me now in the same dress iyswim.

Is Kipper's prisoning next weekend?

KelBelle · 07/07/2007 23:09

Hope DS settles soon Flame, poor little man.

MRM, thanks for the advice, I cant wait for the day that I feel happy to be without DH. I think it is harder when DS is saying "dadda? Dadda? Dadda?" every day and then looks at the door to see if he is coming it breaks my heart as I know he really misses him but I know that one day if I meet someone else then DS will have another male figure who will take over the main daddy role.

mustrunmore · 07/07/2007 23:09

Yes, it is!

Waiting on the pics with baited breath (and a big stick to poke you with envy next time I see you...)

Going to bed now, after lifting ds1. See, I'm up so late just to do that!

KelBelle · 07/07/2007 23:12

Night MRM - I'm going up shortly too.

Jas · 08/07/2007 07:45

Morning all,

Cadbury world is great for a day out IF you live in the West Midlands, but not if it requires 4 hours in a coach to get there.(Motorway was closed). I went to bed at 7 with a terrible headache after having the sun on me all the way home. Woke at 10 to find dd1 watching the lord of the rings, and dd2 asleep on the sofa, so had to get dp t garry her up to bed and send hm to the shop for milk for this morning, then went straight back to bed.

Kel -I think mrm had fairly wise words, definitely better than anything I can think of, never having been in your position. My bf is about a year further down the same route than you, and is definitely finding it easier now. I even believe her now when she says she wouldn't have him back if he asked!

I have a battery operated NooNoo anyone can have for postage if you want it. dd1 liked the tts but I'm not letting ds know it exists[mean mummy emoticon]

CantSleepWontSleep · 08/07/2007 08:36

Isn't NooNoo one of the many words used for your fanjo? My mind is boggling at the thought of a battery operated one .

Kel - my best friend shared a pearl of wisdom with me when I split up with my 'significant ex'. As time goes on, it won't hurt any less when you think of him, but you'll think of him less often. I found this to be true (and the hurt does go away eventually too, but we had a prolonged break up which took years, so was a bit slow in my case).

Will save Cadbury World for sometime when I'm at my parent's then Jas. Which motorway was closed?

Kipper's prisoning is indeed next Sunday .

CantSleepWontSleep · 08/07/2007 08:51

No answers yet, but might be worth mrm watching.

Jas · 08/07/2007 09:39

M40 I think, or M42. Not sure.

Yes NooNoo is Fanjo (ence the grin) but also a vacuum cleaner in tellytubbies thaat trundles round sucking up custard and stuff like this

Flamesparrow · 08/07/2007 10:25

Oooh me me me for the noo noo - DD was scared of one of those for aaaaaaaaaaaages, then loved it.

DS hasn't seen TTs so will just see it as a weird toy

I agree with all that has been said Kel.

Frizbe · 08/07/2007 10:33

Jas according to my dad, who was trying to get to Bournemouth, it was the M40 due to summat at Silverstone take it you enjoyed it apart from that then hope you didn't eat too much chocky

CSWS, sshhhhhhhh I'd forgotten about me dying my hair and to be honest, I think I won't this time girls, cause red won't match a lot of my current wardrobe and I can't afford any new clothes, dh will have to wait until we're richer, then you can do me and I can get new clothes

MRM and CSWS very wise words for Kel
I could start writing, but it'd take up too much page, so will waffle at you over lots of wine at CSWS's

dd2 loves nightgarden and tubbies, she has an old tubbies poster of dd1's on her bedroom wall, which she loves and when we were at the zoo the other day, she spotted someone elses tinky winky, which sent her mad stuff the animals eh!

Flame good night then? dd1 was just watching the computer when you signed onto msn, and a little picky of your dd popped up on our screen, I said your going to meet that little girl this week, so she's spent the last few mins trying to say your dd's name!

Flamesparrow · 08/07/2007 10:39

Awwww

DD keeps asking when my friends are coming - she is bouncing a lot at the idea of meeting so many new people this week. Not entirely sure what she'll do when it actually happens!!

She keeps asking when we're going to stay with my friend and play in her playhouse too .

The wedding was nice - but it was pricey, I was worrying about DS (mum had taken them for a drive to buy ice lollies etc to try and soothe his teeth), so we came back earlier than planned. He was awake and eating an icelolly when we got in. He then just kept screaming if we tried to put him to bed.

I left him with DH, went up to bed for a little bit, came back down around 12.30 because they were both asleep, tried to move him... more screaming.

We all got into my bed - he fell asleep between us, so i made his cot more duvet-like to lay on, and transferred him again - and he finally slept. Woke up about 10am.

Miserable again today though.

Oh, and period is still awol

Frizbe · 08/07/2007 10:42

awww poor little mite, dd2 tried being mangy due to mumps injection yesterday, but we calpol'd her and dh bounced her a bit and that seemed to do the trick, oh and we have a whole molar too lower right! very odd seeing as only two front bottom ones Hope he's better for you today after his nice long sleep

mustrunmore · 08/07/2007 10:44

The noo noo is literally for you, isnt it Flame? Dont pterend your dd will like it!

Thanks for that link csws. Last night was a farce; lifted, but he was sooo asleep he was just upright and snoring, and I'm sitting there wondering why i'm trying to hold up a dead-to-the-world boy incase gravity happens to let some wee dribble out!! So instead ds2 woke at 3am, which woke ds1, who weed because he was awake, the ncried, so dh put a nappy on him, and ds2 would only settle in our bed. On the plus side, no wet sheets. On the minus, thats because he was sleeping under the bed again, do we have to clean the carpet instead

jas, I like the way I have fairly wise words
