meant to say WAKES DD.

Where is my head????

HellHathNoFury · 29/01/2008 20:13

ditto elsbells. Still haven't even won a ternner though. Fucking tight lottery bastards. What about ME!

milkyJammy · 29/01/2008 20:13

Night Fury and Izzy.

Elsbells, I'm back to work next week, Mon/Tues only (plus 4 hours at home = less MN time for me in the evenings )

BumperliciousIsOneHotMother · 29/01/2008 20:14

aww bless jammy. tis a good healthy sign though.

ria, he does look slightly like a lion, and is a leo, but a complete pussy, softly spoken, reads sleb mags...hardly predatory behaviour

BumperliciousIsOneHotMother · 29/01/2008 20:16

Off to do some knitting . Night all!

milkyJammy · 29/01/2008 20:17

Ooooh Bumper, what are you making? (Or attempting to make anyway, I know you said you were just starting over on the other thread)

Elsbells · 29/01/2008 20:17

Oh Fury you have won then.
Just not the jackpot.

Jammy that's awful that you have less MN time.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH
DH calling me.
Bye all.

thisisRialifebaby · 29/01/2008 20:18

bless your DD jammy, I want to give her a big cuddle. (I really have to resolve this baby issue[grin).

On a slightly related subject, DS1 announced in the bath that he read a book called "how our bodies work" or similar today at school and learned about sex. Not sure about this book but he was on about stroking and kissing and pencils. So, I bit the bullet and tried to ecplain how he might change and what will happen etc, and that it's what you do when you love someone, and he announced that he thinks it's all a bit bizarre/freaky and he's nowhere near old enough to need to think about any of it. Phew . I followed it up with, "if you have any questions ask daddy". He idolises Captain Jack (Torchwood - not that he's allowed to watch it of course. When do I start to worry/be gleeful that MIL will be appalled! although, DH is quite fond of him too...)

pencils Ria? I missed the lesson but apparently one of the biology teachers at my school used a pencil as part of sex education. She used a rubber band and a pencil to represent a flacid and erect penis and a test tube to represent a vagina and demonstrated that the erect penis could be inserted much more easily!

thisisRialifebaby · 29/01/2008 20:25

you'll find time for MNet jammy, work isn't that important

sorry bumper, have lost the other thread.

Funny, we never win the lottery either. Do you think it might all be fixed like TV/radio phone ins?

night fury. I remembered you said someone had died, and you buried their fags or something. Lucky they have your mum, no doubt they might be hard now but they'll probably remember and appreciate when they're older.

bumper my DH is leo too. (he has exactly same birthday as exBF - weird)

OP posts:
thisisRialifebaby · 29/01/2008 20:28

we used to giggle about putting pencils in pencil sharpeners. don't remember any hands-on lessons though

I have animal urges - they invole stuffing my face with as much as possible of the nearest foodstuff I can find, I don't eat much raw stuff though...

OP posts:
milkyJammy · 29/01/2008 20:31

Right, I'm off to watch TV with DH.

LittleMissNorty · 29/01/2008 20:51

Glad today went OK JAmmy - my nursery have to change nappies every 2 hours - or more if she smells....

Sorry I posted and disappeared earlier....I was starving...

I read somewhere that women have to feel loved to have sex and men have to have sex to feel loved.....how true is that

thisisRialifebaby · 29/01/2008 20:58

I suppose there's no accounting for the way mens minds work (might have something to do with where they keep their brains?). I need to feel loved before I'll make DH a sandwich

BTW, I AM NOT a man-hater. Tis just fun to take the piss out of them. Bless them.

I am still getting that recipe norty, honest.

OP posts:
LittleMissNorty · 29/01/2008 21:01

mmm looking forward to it Ria

thisisRialifebaby · 29/01/2008 21:08

for you norty -

pork fillet or loin, cut into 2inch chunks and flattened (medallions apparently, three each?)
put into fyring pan with bit of oil, seal both sides of meat, add glass of dry white, 1 diced leek, 1/2 punnet sliced mushrooms, 2 teaspoons tarragon, cook for 10 mins, add 200mls double cream. leave to thicken.

and now for the best bit

SERVE! (and enjoy of course).

(that is my intended valentines dinner. hope there's no aphrodisiac in there)

OP posts:
thisisRialifebaby · 29/01/2008 21:09

and all I had to do was ask

OP posts:
LittleMissNorty · 29/01/2008 21:10

Oh sounds lovely.....may also do it for Valentines.....thanks Ria x

LittleMissNorty · 29/01/2008 21:13

Oh Ria - didn't realise I'd put you at risk of doing more than ask

Thanks VERY much

Right off to watch mistresses...night all x

thisisRialifebaby · 29/01/2008 21:16

DH will always try his hand (so to speak) before he realises how useless it is

I'm looking forward to it too, might not even manage past the weekend (the pork obviously)

I am off to finish my book so I can start the new Katie Fforde.

Night all Rx

thisisRialifebaby · 29/01/2008 23:07

BTW, DS3 just tried to jump off my knee (for the second time in his little life) and DH thought I'd dropped him (for the second time)
I had tight hold of him, honest, he wriggled and won! (I did catch him before he even got off my knee).

night night (again)

HellHathNoFury · 30/01/2008 08:51

Hi Ria
2 People died - DH's best friend in a motorbike crash and the foster boys sister, that was only a couple of weeks ago. I never knew her but she was apparently a lovely girl.
The boys are ok, one of them is a bit messed up but he's open and dealing with his issues, the other one is sly and I am convinced will end up in jail before this year is out.
He has already been arrested a couple of times anyway.

On another note....
Morning all!

thisisRialifebaby · 30/01/2008 09:28

morning!

I feel a toast and tea morning coming on... my ears feel like someone has been gouging them out with a hot screwdriver. Wonder if I can convince DH I'm ill.

OP posts:
HellHathNoFury · 30/01/2008 10:37

Hi Ria
Wassup with your ears?
I just had a MASSIVE bowl of porridge. Should keep me going for a while. How's the weight loss going?

LardyMardyDaisy · 30/01/2008 12:30

there's never anyone around when I log on these days Should do it more often I know, but since Christmas babyboo is soooo demanding. She either needs constant attention, or gets herself into improbable situations in the corner of the room if I take my eyes off her for more than two seconds...boy she can shift!

Not much is new with me. Went into work with babyboo yesterday for the first time. Thankfully both my bosses were out so didn't have to answer any awkward "so wen are you back?" questions. I was kind of bouyed up with the thought of going back part time, so am putting a proposal in writing to them. If they accept, then fine and dandy, if not I walk away as planned earlier.

Realised this morning that my car should have had it's first MOT in October/November, so have been driving illegally for two and a bit months . It's booked in for Friday so I'm grounded till then! Can't believe I've been so stoopid and forgetful

On the sex front....I have no urges either and am convinced it is the BFing that is causing the most of it. Tis hard to feel attractive with yellow stained bras and constantly sweaty under-boobs! We have had sex three times in the last eight months. I enjoyed it once I got in the swing of it, but getting into the swing took a mammoth effort on my (and DH's ) part!

Am considering stopping BFing, and am on here for some advice today. Sick fed up of blocked ducts and thrush in my right boob. I have background levels of pain of one sort or another all the time now and it is starting to get me down a bit . Don't want to give up, but really feel like I need my body back!

hope that didn't sound too ranting!
