June 07 - Piling on the pounds....and we're not talking about the babies!!!

[DaisyABandyBoobToo]

I'm off to bed too now...good night!

foxy...I could win a gold medal in sensitivity if it were an Olympic sport.

Me too. See ya! x

was it something I said?

I'm still here...watching repeats of Pheonix nights, and my face nearly cracked when I actually laughed for the first time this week

i am cross with bil. he is supposedly a sahd. but he is "maybe" working one day next week - not definate til the day. the day in question is dms b'day and they were going away, but bil has asked them to "be on standby" just in case he can't collect his dcs from childcare.my mnd are SO nice and are not the type to say "well actually we had planned to...". ARSE.

what did the schoolmums do to upset you foxy? do you need a for them?

ha. we are watching QI (that we cunningly watched on bbc 3 last week), so we are feeling Quite Intelligent cos we know some answers

ah Ria, but isn't the point of QI that if you know the answers you are wrong or something. I've never understood it, bit tis funny all the same!

Foxy I've been ok - apart from tonight! Looked at some old photos of when my DD1 lived with me and saw all the photos of stuff I used to do for her (making easter bonnets and outfits for school theme days ect) and it got me really upset. I hope she realises when she's older and looks at the photos , that
I used to do so much for her Yet now I dont get to see much of her and her Dad is so shit, but she defends him all the time. She's coming to stay tomorrow and bringing a friend as well, so am looking forward to that.
(sorry - but you did ask!!!!)

That would make me feel substantially better Ria!

what did they do foxy? I farking hate the school run mums.

jbm, I'm sure she remembers and appreciates it . Bring the photos out tomorrow and you can have a laugh over them and compare her baby photos with L's.

Have a nice time with her and her friend.

DH has abandoned me for bed. He has to get up at 3:30 to drive to Leicester and will be gone most of the day.

Babysitters are sorted for Monday though!

Thats why I was looking thru the photos Daisy as I wanted to compare them both, but I got so upset after the first few albums that I never got to find the real baby ones...
Right Im off for a glass of wine and then bed - have a nice weekend all x

Aw, thats JBM. you still have a good relationship though, don't you? And you are always there for her I'm sure. You must miss her.

I did write a long rant, but deleted it as I got a bit paranoid - basically people are rude and are happy to take advantage to help themselves, but not return the goodwill.

DP is away, I've eaten too much so can't go to bed yet.

for you jmb, it must be hard. nice to have your memories though and NO-ONE can touch those. I'm sure she will love looking at old photos with you though.

I was trying to explain to ds1 the other day about his dad and DSD & DSS, he missed out on the memories. He never talks about it though. I always feel guilty for not handling the situation better when we got married, but I think I was too young to deal with it and we had DS1 within the first year, not to mention moving away. He sees his daughter a bit occasionally now and she texts, but his son dosn't seem interested (unless he wants large amounts of cash for the tatoo his mother won't let him have.)

I need to go to bed, but I can't risk it until I know DS3 is properly settled. I would rather stay up all night than get to sleep and have to get up after half an hour.

sorry, I didn't mean to turn that round to "me, me, me"

hope you are ok foxy.

nite all.

Rx

just did that anangram thing on DSs name....

it came up with Jack He's Spent On

he should be so farking lucky

oops ...i meant DHs name

DSs name would be wrong on so many levels

daisy moves house before her internet friends send social services round!

Mornin!

DH has gone off to play golf (07.15) this morning - and I am at home - as usual - doing the same old thing.........feels like groundhog day sometimes!

The min he gets home - I'm going to drag him around the local NCT sale - and then I'm going to go and ride my horse!

Hope everyone has had a good night?

hi dkma.....babyboo was up at 2am.

It's ages since she's done that so a real shock to my system. I suppose it's that awkward time around four months and I just have to go with it. The temptation to give her some baby rice is very very strong.

Surely your DH should be getting up with DS and leting you have a lie in? Make sure he does that tomorrow!

i think we're having the four month growth spurt....have had a baby limpet stuck to me all blardy morning. I've just taken her off so i can go for a wee and she protested big style.

DOES IT EVER STOP?????

dkma is with you on the groundhog day thing!

Just been to nct sale. queued an hour early (you have to at these things!) only to watch 50 million nct members go in 1st coz i can't afford the 40 quid nct membership! I still got loads of stuff. two big carrier bags full for less than £30. the sale was manic, had to take dd in the sling, and people go completely crazy! bloody people taking their pushchairs as well!

I wish i had done the nct classes as everyone i've spoken to who has done them has made some really good friends, and i feel so lonely

sorry you were up in the night daisy. would the baby rice help. i was speaking to a work colleague who is finding the same with her 4 month old so is now weaning.

i've just been asking about that bumper, but apparently not and i should hold off for another eight weeks or so. the rice itself has no calories apparently...all it does is thicken the milk, so why not just feed more milk and save faffing about with purees etc.

They have a mental growth spurt around four months as well.

I'm going to hold off till as close to 6mo as possible and then go straight to finger foods.

NCT sales.... that sort of crowding makes me want to hide in the cupboard under the stair at the thought of it.

IKWYM about joining NCT, but it's not too late you know. there will be regular coffee mornings in your area...just check out the website. You also don't need to be a member to go along. I'm going to join as i fancy becoming a BF peer supporter.

I know it's not constructive, but I'm quite happy being a bit of a loner at the moment as I'm still finding social things really difficult. I've been told it will get better....when is what I want to know!

Right babyboo sleeping, hopefully for a while, so I'm off for a shower.

Hi All!
I am still cleaning...just took the oven door apart to give it a go. Ew. Still, it's all shiny now.

I am knackered, DH and I were having words last night til 11.30 and this morning DS decided he was hungry at 5...woohoo.

Bumper I am sorry to hear you are lonely. Admittedly that was one of the driving forces for me to go back to work. Maybe it is worth joining NCT, albeit late? It could be £40 well spent if it picks you up.

Daisy tbh I am so surprised you find the social things hard - just because you really have been such a backbone of support for all of us, there are days when your support really has made a difference.

Anyway... I am off to put more stuff on ebay... does the crap in my house ever end? Given that I had a big clear out and sold about £2000 worth of junk on ebay about 5 months ago, apparently not.

Then I am off to clean the bathroom.
