April 2007 - Plans? Didn't they get thrown out with the birth waters?

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

my own personal take on the plans talk

Happy Birthday NL

Pesha, hope you are ok

oooggs, ds seems to have gooey eyes, but atm I think it is just runny nosed wiped into them so fingers crossed it wipes out his eyes aren't red so should be ok

I had crappy ear ache yesterday didn't feel too good. But feels better today. DH home from work in a bit(finishes at 12) yipee. I may venture to a big Tesco nearby, depending on if I can go by myself ds should have a long sleep as he couldn't have his usual one this morning as EAH came over with her dd's and the oldest 2 (my dd and her eldest) make such a racket he had a nap and that was it. But they did place nicely so won't moan just that all dd's things are in her room right next to ds', ah well

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lunchtime

Hope you sort things out Pesha x

pesha hope you are ok

dd on eye drops - she looks awful

Sorry to hear that Pesha, hope you manage to have a good chat with him later on and sort out whats what.

Thanks for the support (as always). The hardest is the afternoon nap.. in the morning he might fight for 15mins-30mins but he's nearly always about to drop so we know he'll go eventually for up to 2 hours (more like 1.5 since this started) and bedtime although he fights a bit it's not bad at all.

But OH MY GIDDY AUNT the afternoon nap. We've not had a successful one yet. He normally only sleeps about 30mins so I tend to give up after about 30-40mins of screaming/crying because I can't see the point. Am finding it very challenging and I know it will be worth it but I just don't know what you are supposed to do in that situation... let him cry for an hour or two just to 'win' and get a 30min nap??? Yesterday he cried for 40mins so we got him up, then an hour later his eyelids were dropping so we put him down again and eventually after 30mins he fell asleep. for 30min. HELP!!

sorry -- oooggs I meant to say poor dd.. hope her eyes clear up soon

Hi everyone
I see it is your birthday NL, hope you're having a happy one!
Pesha, glad you're feeling a bit better, but at you overdoing it. Hope you can sort things out with DP - or are you seriously considering splitting? (Sorry if that was a rant, it's not easy to tell). talk to us!!
Eddas, glad your ear is better.
Maveta at the sleep thing. We have been getting into very bad habits recently and bringing him into bed with us when he's difficult to settle. But I am getting more sleep so at the moment i am just not going to worry. I know yours is to do with daytimes though so that was a complete ramble - what do you expect from me
Just been to another 1st birthday, very nice, but T was grumpy as he had had to be woken from his nap to go (again!!). How dare people arrange their parties during his nap time! Also filled his nappy during the lighting of the candles so we made a swift exit

Seriously considering splitting. Cannot put up with him lying anymore and seems he would rather split up than admit to some of his lies so thinks thats whats going to happen. Will be talking tonight and sorting out what we're going to do. Feeling pretty pissed off with him atm. Not really got the energy for this right now but then also not got energy to put up with it either iyswim. Feeling huge range of emotions. Also feeling like I could do with having a few drinks later but have been feeling really nauseous for last couple of days so dont think I can face it which is a bugger
Diet is going well though so its not all bad!!

trying to get on of these or something similar. Where the eyes shut, but is small enough for dd.

Have noticed that everything is boy related . I can get a boy doll, but I want a pink girl one because everything toy related is boyish and blue

any ideas?

Evening!

NL, a very happy belated birthday!!!! I hope you have had a wonderful day and are having a good evening. You deserve to

Maveta, hang on in there. As soon as you are in a routine and N realises it, he will be happier for it. He won't hold it against you/won't remember. I always used to worry about upsetting B with the cc thing, but she's never mentioned it !!

Pesha, oh flower. I hope you and dp can sort things out for the best.

Hi to everyone else I have not mentioned!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Bil came over today which was lovely. We went to our favourite Italian restaurant in town and then went to the park.

Dd's now tucked up in bed and enjoying a glass of red.

Btw, How are you Bramshott?? You sounded like you were tucking in to the wine last night

oooggs this one? bet you're loving girl shopping

Where are you all???

I am feelig pissed off. Dh is a miserable wanker.

Apologies, I have had 2 glasses of wine and my tongue is loose!

Also peed off with af. Started taking the POP for the first time this week. As instructed, it says start on first day of af. af still happening. Is this right? I haven't been on the pill for a least 10 years so no idea.

Hi Eddas and Oooggs

yes i'm sure that's right sol take the first one on the first day of af, means you'll get another 'af' quite soon though

what's dh done? Much more wine left in the bottle?

Thanks Eddas. Af started on Monday so I took the first pill. Have been bleeding since, but lighter thn norm, but today has been as per norm and effing painful.

Dh just being a moany tosser. Complaining he feels tired and run down. Join the club. He is off again on Monday evening with work, so another 2 nights of dealng with dd's on my own, and then on Friday, he is off for 4 nights (boys trip). I am going to my parents for 2 of the nights.

He just drives me mad some times.

it must be hard when dh is away. Mine never goes away and am glad, and I have 2 good sleepers(hope they stay that way tonight as dh is out, but coming home, he'll be drunk so of no use!) I think this af will be a normal pill free one, the next ones should be lighter. Says the expert

I thought one of my favourite films was on bbc1 tonight but I got it wrong it's on monday although i did buy clueless and legally blonde 1&2 in Tesco earlier so may have a girlie marathon

i'm disappointed dh has gone out so i thought i'd have a natter on mn and you've all gone and got lives how very dare you all

Girly film marathon it is then

very of your girly marathon Eddas, more so that you can even entertain the idea of watching a dvd (or 3) - I think I could count the number of films I've seen on one hand since N was born

Happy Birthday NL! I only just registered, sorry! hope you have been spoiled rotten

Pesha - have tried to write a million different things but can't get it to sound right. hope tomorrow things are clearer and brighter.

Oooggs - I am sure I'm being really thick but I have NO idea what your post was asking! I've read it several times and don't get it. You want a doll for dd? Like the one you linked to? What about that very one? And what do you mean it's all boy stuff?? I am so very confused lol

SOL - lol at B not having a go at you re. cc also lol'd at 'dds are in bed and enjoying a glass of wine' cue image of your girls sitting tucked up in bed with a glass of chardonnay

SPB - we have been known to do that with N too (bring him into bed) but the clawing and hairpulling really gets me down after several hours

Speaking of, does anyone else find they are totally mauled by their babies?? If we are sitting in bed in the morning, watching tv and having a coffee, N between us he is just all OVER me, crawling, licking , hair pulling etc etc, sometimes I feel so assaulted. Whereas if dh grabs him and sits him on his lap he'll just sit quietly. what is that about? Also if I carry him while walking he'll often suddenly try to leap out of my arms/ climb over my head etc etc. whereas he sits quietly in dh's arms. WHY??!

maveta, it just means he likes you best ds is always hitting me I like to think he's just trying to work everything out but they can't kiss/cuddle or talk so they just bash everything

I think oooggs wants an alternative doll as the elc one is out of stock?

lol Maveta - i am being mauled this very minute

btw I think that doll is out of stock, and that is what oooggs means ? am I right?

My mil got Molly one very similar to that for christmas....If I can bear to speak to her, I might ask her where she got it from if you like.......

aaaahh.. i seee. i thought you were saying you wanted a pink doll but they were all blue and boy-ish riiiight. best to just ignore me i think.

I like the interpretation of the mauling though I'd like it more if it were a bit less painful

what is everyone getting their dcs for their 1st birthdays?

Dd had a doll for her 1st birthday and also one of those very little toy pushchairs which she loved!! Was like a little girly walker that she could put things in and push around! She used to play with her friend's before she could walk!

Maveta - dont worry about not knowing what to say - I always have that problem, I make a much better listener!! And yes, atm D's best way of hurting me is to kneel on my nipples

DP and I def splitting up. He has gone now. Watching Lee evans live and drinking red wine! Feeling a bit overwhelmed.

oh pesha - sorry you sound very calm....you sure you are ok?

Oooggs - if it's for E, what about www.toysrus.co.uk/Product.aspx/TruHome/TruToysDolls/TruToysDollsPramsAccs/026417

oh pesha

Have been here before Caz. Have to say I didnt really think I'd be here in this exact place again but it happened enough times in the past that I can deal with it. Think i might need a drunken night out next weekend though!

And not really real yet either is it. Worried about how its gonna affect dc though

and he would rather that than just be honest? that is so tough on you

Oooggs Amazon have one called Mia.......

Ah well he has been honest now. Lied while he was here but managed to convince him that I knew enough for him to text me truth once he left. Turned out it was a bigger lie than I'd realised at first although I suspected as much after some things came to light this afternoon. Final straw really

Still there are lots of plus points to being single so its not all bad!! Now I just have to decide if I want to move to somewhere quieter or stay put where all the pubs and clubs and men people I know are!!
