June '07- Can you pinch more than and inch? If not then bugger off!

[loonylovegood]

Good suggestions Foxy - I couldn't add anything to that, except that it sounds like a lovely weekend.

I really treasure the time I have with just DS3 as I don't get too much of it.

I think you're right about the tiredness btw. Hopefully he continues to sleep through and I can re-stock.

We've got DH's parents down for the weekend as it is DS1's birthday on Monday. They go back Sunday and I'm already looking forward to Monday

I like the idea of snuggling up, foxy. I think we might just go bag some treats from Sainsburys after taking DH to the station. I think otherwise it'll depend on the weather.

Unfortunately no friends in this area to ask for coffee/lunch

Afternoon all! You've been busy. Still in my pj's watching columbo! (DH has friday off instead of sunday so is the weekend for us).

Went out for dinner last night. We managed to stay out for a total of 1.5 hours! Well, we had a main course and a drink, but then decided to buy ice cream and go home as we didn't have enough money for dessert and more drinks.

Hope you are all having a good day. of nappy talk but can't really afford to invest in a load of real nappies. I know they can save money in the long run but don't have the money for the outlay.

uniglo??? who they then?

Didn't make it to the park, went to Mothercare instead, and much as I wantes to buy something cutesy for DD I resisted!

Not long in, so barely enough time to do a quick bite to eat and swipe the kitchen and feed DD before the school run.

You have been very chatty this morning. LOL at the mono slipper.

Sounds lovely Bumper! Isn't it nice to be able to go out?

Bumper, Uniqlo is a Japanese firm I believe, does cheapish clothes, but not cheap like Primarni, reasonable quality stuff.

Not that I'm knocking Primark.

jamantha, whereabouts do you live?

Shall we have a virtual coffee morning, or afternoon tea? I make good scones!

I'll make the quiche!

DG, I've been back on the weight loss thread.

It was really nice foxy, and my friend was dead chuffed to babysit!

Foxy, I'm in Oxfordshire

Ah, yes I remember now Jamantha. Bit far to come to mine for a brew then! My DP is away all the time, I kinda like it now!

DD1 is making DD2 pee herself laughing by sitting on her in her bouncy chair

Thanks for the thought though Foxy. I'm sure it'll be OK, it's just at the moment the weekend feels like a big empty space starting in a couple of hours and stretching into the far distance. But if it's dry tomorrow we can go for a walk along the river and stuff. And if not I might introduce her to the DVD player! We can sit and watch Snow White or something together (But don't tell DH)

My DD doesn't really laugh. She smiles lots and makes lots of cute gooing noises, but has only ever chuckled the once. Should I be concerned? DS used to giggle like mad all the time from about 8 weeks.

Mine neither, Daisy. Smiles yes, laughter, no.

No Daisy, you should not be concerned. Most definately not something to be concerned about I think.

DS1 never laughed for me. Occasionally he'd raise a quizzical eyebrow, but rarely a chuckle came my way!

Jamantha you are not that far from me. You fancy meeting somewhere on sunday? email me if you want to meet up, bumperlicious.mn @ hotmail . co .uk.

Jamantha, the first night might be a bit lonely, second night you might enjoy the bed to yourself. By the third you'll be asking when he's going away next!!

we do get lots of quizzical eyebrows here too. she was doing that thing last night where they deliberately avoid your gaze avery time i moved to catch her eye woukd look away with a very big dribbly grin.

Jamantha, I'm actually starting to prefer it when DH isn't here ....Now if someone woukd just come and take DS off my hands as well.....

aaargh school time.

hi everyone. you've had a chatty morning, it's taken ages to catch up.

i am a bit gloomy today (but thankfully my parents aren't coming to tea so don't have to overdo the tidying)

re contraception, i have been to have my implant implanted this morning(so now i can't be talked into/tricked into no 4...yet). am now feeling sorry for myself because of the HUGE bandage. had to go into town to a surgery there as my gp doesn't do them. it was scary, when it was time for the next patient there name came up on a big LED display. we even went to Sainsburys! i've probably had far too much excitement for this week!!!

hope you have a good weekend J. i find weekends the worst because i am so used to being on my own when dh is working. even now he is home i find i get a bit down. am dreading him going back to work in that respect (but am SO looking forward to having some money.)

wish ds1 would improve enough at tennis to be moved into the next group, then we wouldn't have to be organised for 9am on saturday too.

sorry, that was no help.

Afternoon you chatty lot!

Ria....tell me honestly....does it hurt having the implant? I'm wondering whether or not I can pluck up the courage....I was going to have a coil put in till I read a thread on MN about it.....oh I'm such a baby

I'm bored. Dh is off today and we have done nothing. Well, he has done nothing, I have made lunch and put some washing on. Though he did feed dd this morning, but I ended up getting up as well. He has now gone off for a snooze. I hate wasting days. I feel like all I do at the moment is go on the computer or watch TV or go to baby groups!

He said "you go out, I'll watch DD" but 1) e don't have much money, esp as we went out for dinner last night and 2) go out on my own? all my friends are at work.

I want to do something together and he says "well what do you want to do?" I don't frikkin know, just something. Do you know what I am always the one who suggests we do something, dinner last night, drinks on Tuesday, meeting up with friends, whatever we do it's always me who arranges it. He never says "why do we do this today" gggrrrrrr .

Sorry, unpredictable rant over (I don't know where that came from!)

Charlie, what did the coil thread say? That's what I am considering (not that it is necessary at the moment )

ouch dg, burns farking hurt. Can you use it as an excuse not to have to do any washing up?!

Bumper, my DH is exactly the same. He wouldn't take it upon himself to organise a babysitter and to arrange a night out for me as a big thank you for looking after his children single handedly through the week...oh, no. If I were to say why don't we do this, then he goes along with it, but he never thinks about it himself....and if I were to ask him why he never bothers to organise anything I get the whole, I was waiting for you to suggest it cos I didn't think you wanted to leave DD just yet etc etc. Then it looks like I'm whinging, and if he then does get off his arse to organise anything it sort of takes the shine of it cos he didn't do it off his own bat IYSWIM.

oooh, i can feel a barney brewing this weekend. I'm premenstrual and he's a thoughtless sod.

I wouldn't have the coil fitted, I know too many people where it didn't work for them and they ended up pregnant and riskiing a miscarriage when it was removed....my big sister for example.

Not sure about implants either...all those hormones in your system.

DH bleating on about getting the snip, but I think that's too final. He's determined there will be no more babies, but I want another one before I'm 40, then I can call it a day.

also (more ranting) dh keeps putting DD in her moses basket to sleep at the first whinge saying "she's tired". She does eventually go to sleep but I wonder if it's because she is bored and associates the basket with sleeping. Today she has had 3 naps already. That seems like a lot. She is asleep now even though she is due a feed, which is unlike her when I am on my own with her. I don't think it is right, I think we should be taking the time to play with her and stimulate her.
