June 07 - Happy New Thread

[thisisRialifebaby]

A new thread for the new "us" inside

Not to worry mellymell! we'll blame pregnancy brain!

Fairy i'm going to email you.

on-line friendships are much easier aren't they ....I do have about 3 very good friends but find it so difficult to find the time to see them and catch up as we've all got young children now....

Just as I was about to go to Sainsbury's to deplete the shelves of size 4 Huggies at 1/3 off, DD goes to sleep AGAIN ....bloody hell, better find something useful to do I spose....

We like you Fury!

LOL thanks Fairy!

Well my DH thinks I'm ok and DS HAS to like me by default so I have 2

I did have a good mate but she sort of dropped me like a hot brick when I had DS. She doesn't like kids at all. Or dogs for that matter, and I am very much love me, love my DS, and love my dog.

My only proper RL friend now (who I see quite often) that I didn't meet on t'internet is my HV!!!

You are lovely fury, on 'tinterweb and in RL! I love how you are friends with your HV as well! I was terribly bullied at school as well

I have some really lovely RL friends, but none of them have children and I can go for weeks without seeing them as they are always off having fun! Not that my life isn't fun, because it is, my children are great and wonderful, but sometimes I just wish I could go and be footloose and fancy free like my friends!

Oops didn't finish that post!

I just wanted to say that I was bullied at school too and I know how isolated it can make you feel. I was beaten up really badly on the way home when I was in year 10. It sounds awful, but it was a blessing as the bullying stopped after that as the people who attacked me were suspended or expelled. It breaks my heart to think that my dcs may have to go through that.

Poor you Holly.

Yes I agree though I have been maudlin in the past that my DC has to go to school with the same sort of arseholes I did. Seems such a shame to shatter the innocence.

But I got told off for being maudlin.

Foxy!
I got £15 off my joining fee and £20 cashback when I joined weightwatchers today with that employee thing I told you about!

I know what you mean holly. i want dd to value who she is and not be ashamed of herself, but at the same time if she is really square (which given her parents is highly likely!) i don't want her getting the same treatment as me. i was never physically bullied, just nasty spiteful emotional stuff. i have no idea what the best things is to do.

my little brothers are kind of odd, well unique. my dad loves that they are funny and interesting but never wanted them to be "teacher's" kids so he makes sure they have nice trainers and stuff. Difficult isn't it!

hi everyone back from lunch

holly I remember going to a group like that with ds1 I haven't bothered with ds2 as I have my school mum friends but am going to join a playgroup in the church at the end of our road soon hope it is ok it is at the church attached to our school so they should be nice

annobal hope you feel better soon I felt a bit like that when I had the vomiting thing

tbh I am quite happy with my own company a lot of the time I see people morning and night at school and I usually have 1 lunch or coffee date a week the rest of the time I will pootle on my own

fury ww rocks I have lost a stone now and am starting again next week after I have eaten all the xmas chocolate

that's good to hear andiem...
I know Foxy uses WW too. I tried SW but HATED it.

what I like most fury is that I can eat within reason what I want so if I want a biscuit I can have one

yes I think the points thing is so much easier to follow as well

Yawn, just woken up from another sleep . I'm quite enjoying this lying in bed malarchy.

Congratulations btw Mellymel. How're you finding being 3mths?

Tuna is good but tinned salmon is also great as contains copious amounts of omega 3 (my dcs still eat this at least once a week).

Glad you're feeling better Holly.

I was also thinking about Zelda today - hope she's okay and just too busy writing her novel to talk.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes today!

nursery has called again, DS is refusing to eat again and keeps having paddys, DH has just left work to the rescue

Oops - sorry, missed a page - sounds a bit weird that I haven't mentioned this page...

Bullying is bloody awful.
I get a bit maudlin sometimes when I think that anyone could hurt one of my dcs - dh has a seriously domineering bullying dad and is only just now coming out the other side of the damage wreaked there, and that is with a lot of help!

Btw, Fury you are not fat and are really pretty and very lovely

Thanks Annobal

I think I improved a bit with age...but according to my GP I'm 4 stone overweight

I want to be a size 14/16. Am currently an 18/20. I think that's a respectable goal.

well I am off home to tend sickly DS and relieve tired DH who worked til 10.30 last night AND did feeding night duties AND has collected DS from nursery.
Poor bloke

your dh is a real hero fury mine is out on the p*ss for the second time this week and then is away from mon to thurs next week mind you I suppose he does fund my lady who lunches lifestyle now lol

Fury you so don't look 4 stone overweight! How are those yucky tablets working out btw?

You are fab and we are RL friends! We just happen to communicate online

I was also thinking about BadZ. Also Daisy hasn't posted for a few days, and she is normally pretty prolific when at home. Hope she's ok.

LOL at Mellylmell (in a nice way of course), I often see their threads and think back to where we were a year ago.

Re bullying, I wasn't really bullied at school but I was regularly picked on by some girls a year above me, and that was bad enough. It must be awful, the background level of bitchiness and playground politics was already hard to deal with sometimes. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the UK is actually the worst european country for bullying.

I also worry about my DC's, they are never going to fit in completely, especially as Italian society is really homogenious compared to uk (and I wouldn't want them too quite frankly). I am already a bit paranoid about having exempted DD from "Catholic Education" at school and wondering if she is the only one. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the UK is actually the worst european country for bullying.

I was also bullied at school. Seems there's a lot of it about.

As we went out for our walk the rain changed from showers to solid tipping it down, but we carried on regardless and I did a good drowned rat impression at baby group. I suspect a lot of the mums there don't really "get" me either, but they are at least friendly, though I do feel a little left out sometimes - they obviously meet on other days. But one woman there is turning into a friend now, so that's nice.

I went to an all girls school so they're was plenty of bullying / bitchiness going on there...especially if you were fat...worked hard.....etc etc (even though it was a grammar )....children can be very cruel....that's one of the things that worries me about my age....when my DD is 12, I'll be 50 ...I hope she won't be embarrassed of me....

Norty, I think that whatever your age, your DC will be embaressed of you

norty when my ds2 is 12 I will be 54 so don't you be worrying lol I thinnk boys are worse than girls for the being embarassed by their mums

I must admit I did get embaressed as a teenager when class mates asked if the lady in the shop who looked like me was my granny. She was my mum (who was 33 when she had me).
