June 07 - hankering after a quieter, more peaceful time

[daisyandbabybootoo]

I think all that talk of superheroes made us all a bit feisty

fingers crossed for surestart - i know they don't administer imms in our area.
if i could i would come over and do the imms for you!

Evening!

Annobal, I feel your pain! My dp falls asleep on the sofa and snores his head off. I ask him why he doesn't go to bed and I get told to shut up! I don't understand. If you are tired, you go to bed. Why sleep on the sofa? Men!

Evening class was good. Learnt some more bits. I'm looking forward to making my website now. Might have a go at starting it tomorrow if I get the chance.

Ewww at the scorpion Sputnik! Hope they are not nasty ones!

ha ha mine does the same. Don't why I'm laughing, it pisses me off.

Am very impressed you are going to an evening class Holly. What will be on your website?

well i'd better go just made £237 on ebay selling stuff now got to go and parcel it all up (boring emoticon)
10 mins till prison break
night all

Sometimes you just have to laugh at them foxy, otherwise you would kill them, slowly, with a very blunt and rusty instrument!

Some sort of baby website. Maybe reviews of products and price comparisons.

I need to start selling off my crap on ebay. I'll need the money to finance my nappy shop.

has everyone gone, bumper needs some advice

I'm selling off crap on ebay too. I've got soooo much crap it's unbelievable!

Daisy, how exciting! We can send customers to each other's sites! I'm gonna have fun creating a pretty site and selling pretty things!

Night xx

Cant help with that Im afraid Bumper.
I AM off now - just filled in the dreaded child tax credit form!!
and my councils £40 cashback for real nappies.

Night x

hmm, that's not to be sniffed at Derlor ... I could pack up a hell of alot of stuff here ... what sort of things are you selling?

Morning guys, just a quick post to say I'm taking a sabbatical for as long as i can manage (that'll be 24hrs then), just for a few days.

DH and I had another 'discussion' last night. Mumsnet was mentioned, as was the phrase 'feeling neglected'. So i think it's best that I take a week off at least (though I may lurk on the bfing board & I'll check my email). Don't forget me!

Have a good week! Daisy, enjoy your holiday!

Jammy, if you've got t'internet hope you are having a good time!

Bumper noooooooOo!
What will we do?

dammit she's gone already

Shh, I'm not here. Stop talking to me! I'm really going now. Just had to check someone would miss me!

We will miss you a lot!

Errrr...bumper...does your dh not realise how mind numbingly boring it can sometimes be when you are stuck at home with a baby all day? Surely MN is a good thing? I know it keeps me sane! Also "feeling neglected"? What is he, 5?

Come back!!

Sorry for the rant, but I think he should be looking after you, not asking you to look after him!

Right, there's my piece said. How is everyone else?

TA, how's work? Still dull?

what Holly says.
I spend large chunks of the day stuck on the sofawith the baby, at which point I mumsnet. Other than reading or watching crappy tvwhat are your options?

Sputnik...thanks for recipes...they look yummy!

Bumper....when he's at work he's not gonna know is he? You just have to have a mad hour at 4pm to make it look like you've been doing housework all day...and keep off here in the evenings! The only evenings I get on here are when the sport is on....and even then I get comments like "why don't you do something constructive (WTF...like watching sport is constructive )...hope GP has reassured you.....

Lol at the suggestions bumper.

to be fair to your DH....he is a lot older than most men when they become a dad for the first time, and I imagine it's all a bit of a culture shock to him as well, suddenly not being his own man anymore. And I'm sure seeing you struggling with feeding etc is very difficult for him.

but, if it's any consolation to him at all, all of our DH/DPs are being neglected; it's part of the package for the first few months.

try limiting yourself to an hour or so a day, and stay off in the evenings; he won't even know about it

babyboo has had three lots of boob this morning and about 30ml of milk made up into baby rice....and she is still hungry! i don't know how much more of this I can take...I have packing to do!

Bloody Dreamweaver! I've forgotten how to do stuff

I'm so freezing, might even have to put the heating on! What a horrible day!

Bumper, if you're still lurking. I don't want to be harsh but if you are depressed it's important to keep your support network. coming on mnet for a rant will be better for you than bottling it up, esp with the feeding issues, esp if DH is not sure how to support you best.
If you're a bit like me and mnet is abig part of your day because it's there when you're feeding, stick with it. Does DH give you his undivided attention all the time? - mine doesn't!

I did post on your other thread, but that wasn't particularly helpful either

when does your ds go to hospital fffffoxy? good luck.

hope jammy is having a good holiday.

Tonight we are taking DS1 to look round the secondary school. I am scared! I know at least two of my teachers are still there, it will be interesting to see the changes they've made though as it's twice as big as it used to be. feel though, cos when he's not being a little git he's still my baby!

hmmm I know I have sometimes yelled at DH to get off the PC in the past because I am bored/lonely/neglected so trying to be objective re bumper's DH!

Holly I know how you feel!!
My new car is ready but I can't go get it until the postal strike gets me the loan documents

Hmm despite my last post (fence sitter...what ME? ) also I think Ria has a point, when I have been low MN has really helped.

my DH only has himself to blame - HE bought the wireless keyboard and moved the desk so I could sit in my armchair Onslo-style and Mnet!

I would actually love an evening "together", but we have too many children, are too tired, there are too many crap films on the telly, and I would hate to miss out on any fun on here!

bumpers DH does have a point, but he's a man, and they're not allowed to complain
