June 07 - hunni hunni's HERE! ;-)

[HellHathNoFury]

unwilling pram chat before I get told to shut up!

we are thinking of staying HERE

Well then we will have to change that!!

did I kill it again?

That's a good location.
Actually, tell a lie, I've been here. Sorry, crap flash site in italian but the food was good

Sounds like I missed a chatty afternoon

Sorry about your MIL Fury, if you do end up on your own for a couple of weeks, make the most of time to yourself!

LOL at loo roll rationing

Hope your DH gets home andiem

sorry ladies had to do school run and tea
dh is coming home not sure what airport but definitely not in time to go out but I should be grateful he wasn't on that plane
that is why airline pilots get paid a lot of money
mind you after being away all this week has just told me he is going to madrid next week grrrr

FFS! God forbid I leave DD in a room on her own to go to the loo. Doesn't matter that she has just slept on my lap while I sat in the dark for 1.5 fricking hours. God forbit I put her down to amuse herself while I get a fricking drink of water.

I'm so sick of achieving nothing all day. There is nothing to do here, the weather has been horrendous for ages, I am bored out of my mind! My attempt to go to a new group this week failed with my locking out yesterday. I am going to try a new one tomorrow but it's a bit of a busman's holiday really. It's like when I went to the library. The children's library is in a different building but I was in the adult on with DD reading the paper and I asked if there were magazines in the children's library so I would feel so bad if DD is noisy. She said their were plenty of parenting magazines Coz that's what I want to do when I have a 6 mo baby, read fucking parenting magazines, not, yer know, read about the news or politics or anything too taxing like that.

Rant over. Thanks for listening Seriously, tell me to bugger off if it seems like all I do is whinge at the moment.

Bugger off Bumper

This is officially the most depressing day of the year. Tomorrow will be better

The sun will come out, tomorrow
Bet your bottom etc etc

It does get better, really

wot MHC said Bumper

Do you hve a door bouncer Bumper?
dD was hard to leave too, but she'd bounce happily for 1/2 an hour or so

or something like this

I am desperately trying to borrow one of these. I had one but lent it out and never got it back . They are fab.

Oh, and I don't mean that exact brand. Just something along those lines - they are expensive new so a second hand or borrow one.

bumper can only echo what foxy and mhc said
one of these might be good also have just been lent one for lo and he loves it all the toys stay in with him and he can sit up

I second everyone else....DD has a bouncer and a sit-in play gym and they are great for when I need to leave her alone for a few mins.

I know you're TV needs sorting, but channel 623 on Sky mesmerises my LO...perfect if I need a wee.

Also agree with the bored silly stuff! Much as I love her, I'm finding things easier now I'm back at work and having conversations about things other than weaning / poo / sick / whose child is more developed etc

It will get better.....

good evening everyone.

for your Mil, Fury.
for your frustration Bumper. I know how you feel. I have one of those things Foxy was talking about, and also a door bouncer. DS is getting fed up of the 'roundabaout' but loves his bouncer and it does mean I can put him somewhere dafe while I dash to the loo or make a cuppa.

Alternatively, I sometimes strap him in his highchair and put some toys on the tray. Although I am very very that he fell out today as I didn;t strap him in. I felt really, really terrible and certainly won't be forgetting the straps again. Thankfully he seems no worse for his bounce as was easily placated with a big hug and his dummy. In fact I think I was more upset than him.

I might say this and then run away - I am going away tomorrow afternoon, until Sunday, with a group of friends to a cottage in Kent with no DCs. They are staying here with Dh, and I can't wait. I shall sleep, socialise and sleep some more. And I might fit in a G&T or three between sleeps. I cannot wait

Where in Kent are you coming Fairy?

I have just checked and it is here - actually East Sussex. I could have sworn it was Kent .

Can you tell that i didn't really care where the cottage was when I said yes

mmmm looks lovely

That does look good Fairy, have a great time.

Bumper - hang on in there, it is difficult, boring, frustrating etc etc, but I am already finding it getting easier (at times at least), and I'm sure it will get easier for you too soon. {{{Hugs}}} until then

Bumper, 6 months in is a good time to wrestle the identity issue. Going back to work helps this to some extent, as you get to be the person you were (well, a variation of). Its hard work, but I think we either reclaim our identity or change it. I was very uncomfortable introducing myself as "XXX mum" at first, but now its the bigger part of my identity. And thats OK now

But then, I wasn't too keen on the person I was beforehand, so it was easy for me.

And the sausage casserole is perfectly delicious, thank you for your help ladies!

Good Evening!

Fury sorry to hear about your MIL and your dilemma - hope you can sort it out tonight.
Bumper - yes, apparently today was one of the most depressing days of the yr. For the first time today, I was abit... bored and "Oh God isnt it your nap time yet?". I think as Foxy said, I remember last time feeling abit fed up by 6 mths. Plus its an awful time of yr. All Ive done today is walk the dog twice and do housework.
Maybe your Lo is so used to having you all the time, you should put her down more and leave her to cry so that she gets used to it IYKWIM? I think thats why L cries when I leave her bedroom at the moment - she's fine when Im there and calm, but the second I leave she cries her eyes out!
Fairy have a fab time!!! How many are going and how many children do you all have between you?
