June 2007 [insert witticism here]

[bumperlicious]

Sorry, couldn't think of anything witty against a background of constant whinging!

Grr, more whinging I'm sorry, after having a shitty day DH has just complained that I am neglecting him and treating him like he is not even here!

He has a point, I know, but after looking after a needy baby all day I don't have the energy for a needy husband! It just really takes it out of me, so when he gets home, which isn't till 6.30, I just need some me time to you know, like have a shower, or pee, cook dinner or go on mumsnet . Oh, I am a bad wife!

Hi delor - happy birthday! And to annobal - soory, so wrapped up in my own woes I didn't say happy birthday. My mum on our birthdays always sings the Troggs "I gotta bass for my birthday" so a virtual song to both of you!

Thanks for the sympathetic messages from everyone, I'll pull myself together now, but if I disappear it's because I need to tend to my neglected husband or crying baby!

hope you have a better day tomorrow bumper. cling on to the knowledge that you LO still can't answer back! I think things are always worse when you're tired?

Iknow what you mean about pains in wrists daisy, I get them after we've been out and I think it's the angle of the pram handle. I am looking for something smaller so we can fit all out stuff in the car boot when we go out but don't want a forward facing one yet.

thanks for all the nappy info.

What's causing your wrist pains daisy?

I think that's what happens to DHs when they hit 42

Bumper for you - i often feel like i have 4 children and no husband, he is as needy and messy as the children so you are NOT alone!!!
Hi Daisy and Ria.
Daisy my thrush began to improve 48 hours after taking ALL available products and was gone by about day 5 x (grit those teeth - are you treating LO with dactarin gel?)

I've got fluconazloe...50mg tab once a day for seven days after initial 150mg dose...plus daktarin gel for my nips (which I must admit I'm not using as it's sticky and horrible). LO has nystatin with a dropper.

Her clucking has pretty much stopped , and latch has improved, and I've had mostly pain free feeds today, but nips still pink and tender and some underarm pain. My fingers feel really odd, sort of arthriticky, but don't know if that's connected to the thrush or not

i used to squeeze a little gel out of the tube straight onto my breast pad after a feed then place it on over my nips - it felt fab, so cooling. no need to wash off before a feed either. this gives double wammy treatment to you both.
i've got a sore wrist too!!!!!

LOL, my wrists are probably the result of RSI from using the computer too much

They start regressing Ria?

Hey DG ....no invite needed!

How is your LO? I'm reeling at the fact that DD will be 12 weeks old on Tuesday. This has been the quickest 12 weeks of my life so far!

Re your question about the bush flower remedy...other than what it says on that site I'm not sure. My friend in Oz has done courses and loves passing out little bottles of potion to everyone. I'll ping her an e-mail and report back when I get a reply. Annobal may have more information though!

ive had a really really shitty week

i have to move again.

anyone on at this late hour?

i just came back to say goodnight but i'll stay for a bit if you want Natty, whats going on?????

hey natty...sounds shit. What's happening?

Natty? What's up?

an au pair...lucky you DG! Make sure HE young blond and fit

LOL daisy,
right i'm off to feed LO then SLEEP..... i'm knackred tonight
night night all xx

my house is falling apart!

in what way Natty?...have you got subsidence or something?

my stairs are broken, kids window still smashed from when we moved in, oven keeps getting stuck with gas on, fridge door doesnt close, wasps nest in the loft, bedroom doors have no catches and so dont close...

and my landlord has said he is not fixing it

so now i have to move house AGAIN aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

oh yeah and the kids bedroom the damp is so bad from the broken gutters that mould grows on the walls.

i want to cry i really do. this is not helping my depression AT ALL. so been viewing flats all week and no one will take us cos the f-ing council gave us a ccj for 80 pounds council tax at previous address we didnt know we owed them

i think he has a legal obligation to make sure it is safe to live in. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can report him to trading standards as you are paying for a habitable house, and it doesn't sound like it is.

At the very least you should talk to the citizens advice bureau to see where you stand. I hope he isn't shitty about refunding your deposit.

Poor You .

when my BF told me she was getting divorced I suggested she get a male au pair to entertain me (not her type any more ifysim)

sorry if I was a bit flippant about your day bumper. At 4am I would have given anything to have had a formula feed in the fridge, I couldn't get back to sleep after that so have been on the go since then and am really that my boys have come back as little gits.

Life is weird. I am watching Martin Clunes in the Head thing. The NZ love-interest woman reminds me so much of my big sister it is making me sad. Funny thing is she isn't a Maori! She just has similar hair and her accent is a bit like that. I haven't seen her for 7 years, she is moving from NZ to Kuwait this month, so maybe at christmas...

Natty, how are you doing. DO you have somewhere to go?
