April 2007 - We're still here .... minus a gall-bladder! (Take 2)

[CaptainDippy]

im really sorry to talk bout this again but i dont know what to do, well dp has f*ed off out again, told me he would be an hour, that was a half 6, and hes still not back, he says hes out with his mate. not sure what to do cos im not the sort of person that will tell him what to do and i know that if i stop him going out he will just p**s me off at home, i just want to just say that he will spend time with me when kids are in bed. i feel so stupid cos this is such a trivial thing, but its really winding me up now, really sorry to go on like this but could do with some hugs. (my face is leaking now, silly girl) xxx

don't really know what to say lexi. Does he realise he is upsetting you?

probably not, im just getting really fustrated.xxx

would he stop doing it if he did know?

i doubt it, who knows i just dont want to force him to stay home, i just cant wait till he goes back to work, then he will stay home in the evening. xxx

morning,

lexilex, hope dp stops going out soon of his own accord, must be frustrating. I have to say i'd have to tell my dh.

dc's were up again far too early for my lking. ok it was 6.15 but what's wrong with 7?

It's my friends mum's funeral at 1 i haven't seen my friend since it happened.

xx

Will be thinking of your friend and her family today Eddas xx

Oh GM - thinking of and praying for little Archie Do keep us updated. xx

Feeling wibbly myself his am (like POTC); not sure how I feel

thanks cd the sad thing is she really doesn't have much family left it was a very small family, mum/dad/brother/my friend so now it's just her and her brother he is marrie with a child but it's going to be very hard for them

why wibbly cd? hope you are ok{{{{hugs}}}}

Morning all. A quick drop in before school/nursery/work run.

GM, really sorry to hear about your dp's cousins baby. Thinking of you you all.

Eddas, will also be thinking of you and your friend today. The sun is shining. xx

Lexi, you need to talk to your dp about how you feel, otherwise it will build up and you will start resenting him and it will all end in a shouting match (from experience). You can of course be understanding etc, but you need to tell him. Good luck. xx

Dippy, hope you are ok my little wobbly thing xx

Right, cats to feed, dd's to dress etc etc.

Back later. xx

Morning all,

We were woken up for good at 5 am, and dp would have had to get up before 6 am to leave for his early shift. Never mind, it's the last of those for a while - last late shift tomorrow and then he'll be full time for the union.

Thinking of Archie and of Eddas's friend and her brother.

Yuck Elkie

Thank you for your love & care re: wibbles.

Morning

CD, hope you feel less wibbly soon xxx

Eddas, thinking of your friend today. Such a hard day for them all, and for you too xxx

POTC, how are you doing today?

GM, thinking of little Archie, bless him. Sending strength and get well vibes his way xxx

Lexi, hi I haven't been around much lately so we haven't met before. I have been absent due to a very dysfunctional gall bladder! Read your post about your dp. Hope you get things sorted. I would not be impressed if my dh did that to me. Can you try and discuss things with him?

Elkie, boo to the early start. Hope you are feeling ok in yourself

Oooggs, can't help with the mat clothes. Would have been too big for you anyway, but I gave mine away to a charity shop. No more babies here!

That's all I can remember for now. See you later maybe xxxx

thanks for all the good wishes re the funeral. i think i'll find it tough. am already getting that nervous feeling and am snappy today

Farking preschool committee doing my head in all the officers don't want to bother anymore. fair enough. they all want to leave in July but manager pursaded them to stay til Sept. Not a good move IMO as they are really not bothered. The chair keeps cancelling meetings planned for an evening in the morning, today we have one, lo and behold, get to preschool, can we cancel? maybe meet tomorrow am. i lost it a bit and said i can't do mornings as i need to work and i'd planned being free for tonight arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh. i just want to scream FFS
sorry needed to rant

right best be off to shower and get ready for the funeral not sure what to wear. there's a no black policy

mj welcome back! Hope you continue to feel better all the time!
CD - hope the wibbling stops soon - feel free to rant.
lexilex, life sounds tough at the moment ( and at your face leaking!) Hope you're OK

eddas hope funeral goes well x

Oh Eddas that would drive me crazy. It seems really rude of your Chair to assume others with young kids can just rearrange their plans around you.

I mean her (or him) not you of course!

thanks spb and luce

elkie, it's so frustrating. i know she's lost interest but still. today isn't the day to piss me off tbh

also, had just been having a chat with another mum and she was saying about how a friend had had a baby and her mum was staying for 2 weeks to help and how she couldn't stand her mum being there that long i know it's true and if mum was here she'd be annoying me probably, and normally it wouldn't bother me so much but i am ultra sensative atm. People should realise how lucky they are. I often forget but am trying so hard to think.

You know the other day when I found out about my friends mum and told you all about my worries about her parents and my parents and the 'age thing'? Well, I saw my dad yesterday and told him about my friend's mum. He asked how old she was. so said same age as you. He then asked how old her dad was when he died. I said 50, same as mum. he gave me that look and i said yes i know it's already gone through my mind! so i don't feel so mad. My dad is the one i trust to ask questions and give me and honest answer(as long as step mother isn't around) and i think alot like him in many ways.

Good to see you back MJ - take it easy now!

Thinking of you today Eddas. At my Grandpa's funeral I found myself wondering if they have it right in other parts of the world where they weep and wail and tear their clothes - here we invest such effort in keeping a stiff upper lip and not crying, that it can take over the whole experience, when maybe we should let go a bit more iyswim?

Praying for little Archie GM.

Oooggs - I haven't got round to disposing of my maternity clothes yet and there are a few nice bits (although nothing wedding-y I fear). Wide black trousers, a very nice white shirt I only wore twice etc. They are small-ish though - sizes 8 & 10, maybe a few 12s. Any good?

Hear Hear Bromshott

Thiking of you today Eddas.xxx
Hope you ok CD..re wibbles.
That's it for now
Have good day.xxxxx

Right, lunch and nursery ........

Hi ladies just dropping by to say hi !!

Well DS1 has been invited to bf's house at preschool for tea - ahhhh - bliss!!! Peace and quiet. Can't believe that he will be starting school september like a lot of the others, am starting to feel a bit mixed about it tbh - last minute nerves ??

T is great but starting to have more and more tantrums everyday, just as one is growing out of them the other one starts.

Ho hum. Only another ..... 3 years to go !

My cousins dp who has a two year old and a one year old is now pregnant with a third so there will be 3 under 3. Mad woman.

Hope the pregnant ladies are well and taking good care of themselves, have we thought of names yet ??!

Who else is thinking of expanding their brood. I honestly do not know who those with more than two cope ??

Seem to be rather a lot of sad threads on MN atm makes you think doesn't it .

Off to deal with the rest of the day tantrums/sweat/tears.
