April 2007 - all mummy wants for Christmas is a good nights sleep!

[jingleoooggs]

I did post it earlier and this is what I would really like. I have been a really really good girl and have written my letter to Santa so..................

James, Erin & Jack be good to mummy and sleep a full night on Christmas Eve especially as it is my birthday .

Infact all those special yummy April 07 (March & May) sleep well and help us throught the pissed festive season.

Well we cant be expected to have tummy muscles left after 3 babies can we?! Although I did use to be a thong girl so its a bit of a come down (and dp isnt too keen!) but they are fab!

Blimey ImbM - how scary about the car! Glad that by some miracle you are okay, and that the boys weren't in the car. I guess it serves as a salutory lesson (for me!) that the roads really are icy at the moment and than when I am tearing down small country lanes, late as usual, I should slow down! I will be driving extra carefully today.

right, my final word on the nb thing. i said earlier that i was going to email. but i'm not now. have been reading the other thread and can see that no matter what is said you will not listen I still wish you well but you have not done anything to regain my trust and that makes me i hate to think the worst of people, but i have no other option.

YOu have really made me wonder if any friendships made on mn are what they seem.

I really hope that everyone else is waht they seem. I know you can never tell but I am such an honest and trusting person that i believe everything(not in a naive way IYSWIM) I took everyone at face value and hoped to gain some good freinds from coming on mn. MN is such a friendly place(most of the time. I do like the odd arguement thread!) things like the mn appeal are so wonderful.

that's it really

Ladies

I have a confession to make
IMBM I didn't give anything towards your vouchers I honestly don't know why. Had every intention, but just didn't get round to it. Which is the story of my life.

Anyway, I had a think about what a truly great group of people we are. There is a chance that we might never actually meet, but if mammyjo represents MN, then you are all really, truly lovely

So, I decided to give something back.

And this is what I've done

Christmas Present

I love you all
xx

imbm Soooo glad to hear you're ok. Must've been scared out of your wits.

yvie Great to hear from you! and congrats on the job

eddas I totally agree. I love this group

ohhhh runnyhabit
Have just been reading the other thread (Eddas, that is exactly how I've been feeling)
You have no idea how much your gift has cheered me up. It's so kind of you Exactly what I expect from MN.

(tempted to post my new thread now...can I, can I?)

oh runny that is lovely.

i didn't either - i didn't know anything about it!

Have also been reading the other thread and am feeling very similarly, I just don't understand why NB cannot just leave it now.

Runny that's really lovely thank you

Eddas/EPB - Please don't let the 'situation' tar your view on MN and this thread.

epb madness eh[rolls eyes]

runny, thank you what a lovely thought

I have a confession too, i didn't do a bauble for ellies tree. not because i didn't want to, just that i'm rubbish at thinking of things to say. I tried and tried and everything I said was really naff! But you are one of the genuine people on mn and that's brilliant. You do so well being a single mum to your two boys. M is such a lovely little man and I know j will turn out to be too.

not yet Katy - my thread is less than 48 hours old

runny - what a lovely thing to say about mammyjo

I want another sw meetup organised - I really want to meet these lovely people

all these confessions anymore?????

Oh Runny - what a lovely thing to do - I feel so proud of 'our goat'.

Re the other situation and thread - I think everything that could be done has been done. Eddas and EPB and everyone else - don't beat yourselves up over this - lets all focus on our families and supporting one another in 2008.

And on that note - NGT - if you're out there - take care of yourself and let us know when you need us.

Ange, it hasn't done yet but it does make you stop and wonder. I just hope people don't think things about me like I do her IYSWIM.

Guess it's just the reality of this being a website that anyone can access kicking in. Never really thought about it before. You just take it all at face value

ANYWAY, christmas soon yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

runny thats lovely - I have only just worked it out

Okay, I'm really, really, going offline for Christmas now! (Have just been reading other thread, but wish I hadn't, so now am pretending I in fact didn't!). Hope you all have a lovely time, lots of wonderful family time, lots of tasty food, lots of overexcited children, and lots of rustly wrapping paper for the babies! Stay safe, and look forward to seeing you all in the New Year (or in between, when I've had enough of the 'wonderful family time'!).

Lots and lots of love

xxxxxxxx

Hope you have a great Christmas Bramshott xxx

have a good one Bramshott with your lovely little girls (and dh of course )

yes I have just read 'that' thread

can you remove someone from msn? how?

right click on the name and it lets you block or delete

Hi loves

IMBM, I am so glad you are ok - what a nightmare.

Runny, you have made me cry! What a lovely idea. xx

Ange, oh no, vomiting! Hope everyone is better soon.

Bramshott, have a great Christmas.

Eddas, I really hope the NB situation hasn't upset you too much.

Yvie, lovely to see you, and good luck with the job!!

All ok here. K still not right tho. Happy enough but not right (won't go in to details!!)

Hi to everyone else - apologies for not mentioning everyone.

Right, need to haul myself off my bum. See you later lovely people. xx

hello

Glad you all like our goat

Internet shopping has just arrived, so need to go and sort (and work out whats missing)

Then need to venture out and get gift voucher for our niece.

See you "later"

Tbh, I was a bit blubbery when I was posting the link

The "stuff" that has gone on has really opened my eyes. I am not perfect by any means. I have my own views on family life, and have some values which I set very high. But I'm quite relieved that most of us have the same values on life. I generally don't offer an opinion, unless its asked for, which is why I've made no comment.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say (and making a great big hash of it) is that for me, personally this thread has been a life saver. But there are lots of people out there far, far, more worse off than any of us could imagine.

So I bought us a goat

Can we name the goat?

Hello All.
I hope I am not speaking out of turn when I say this but normabutty really needs our support right now, she is going through an extreamily hard time, and yes it is partly her fault and even a bit of mine, but right now she is falling to bits.

I have just phoned her as her dh sent me an email asking me to as he is really worried about her, and as soon as I spoke to her she burst into tears, she is to sya the least miserable.

I am quite worried about her because of her PND, and again she seems to taking a step backwards when she should be trying to get better, she also could really do with some support from MN but doesn't feel as though she can come on as everyone hates her and yes there are people that do but isn't the whole point of mn to offer support to people who need it.

And right now one of us who made a terrible and almost unforgivable mistake really needs the support of the people she once called friends, I can only be there for her so much as I have 3 sick kids (again) plus a crazy christmas to plan for, and I know that there are alot of people on here who feel very strongly about what has happened and may not want her back on here, but if there is any of you out there who cares enough about a struggling mother then please I urge you to reply to her email and offer her some support.

I know I can't blame the PND for all the mistakes she has made but please understand that it has had alot to do with some of the bad decisions that she has made, there are of course other factor involved but unfortuunatly I don't think it would be right for me to be talking to you about such personal stuff that doesn't involve me.

On a last thought I really think that this time of year should be used for some forgiveness, it is a terrrible thing that has happened but the fact remains that it has happend and there is little to we can do to change the past. Even if one other person than me replies to normas email, she will feel just that little bit less on her own.

Thank you for your time in reading this and I really hope this hasn't over stepped the mark as I am aware there are alot of very strong feeling on this matter.

Thanks Elana. xxx

Runny that was very nicely put
