APRIL 2008 - The One Where They Try to Escape from Cots & Highchairs

[Soph73]

Can someone please add "our babies" as my machine will probably blow up if I try it

Don't do it Molly, I'm trying not to Anyway, home time in 5 mins so better tidy up. Finally got round to posting Christmas cards this morning
See you tomorrow xxxxxxx

Scorpio. However, will sulk HUGELY if you are

Bye, bye (again) xxxxxx

i have only been on the pill for 10 days since having Mimi, so not quick by anyones reckoning!

I'm going to see the kittens on Friday after school , 2 of the 4 that my cat had are with a mum from school, cannot wait!

Where is everyone? Can't sleep here. Didn't bother with the middle of the day bottle again today. BFing so much more convenient. Will never conceive if I don't atleast cut down on this bfing lark. Gave myself a deadline to stop by Christmas.... Hmm. Enjoy the kitten Scorpio

Morning all...

Need to just tell you all something so I can just vent it without telling friends/family and confusing them.

This morning DP'd boss (in a lasting relationship) came round to pick up DP for work. I am just getting to know DP'd boss as he was old friend of DP's from way back before he met me. So happens I had some black and white pics of Jack when first born and showed them to him. He sees my mum in the pics and can't believe shes my mum. (my mum has darker skin than me, looks incrediably young and is thin and gorgeous... I dont take after her at all looks wise.. obviously). So I said yes, people mistake us for sisters etc. and that my mum is gorgeous and that I looked nothing like her unfortunately for me. I then left the room to put the pics back, and the bin truck came past at the same time making lots of noise. I think he either thought I wouldnt hear or something from the other room ...maybe... and he said 'Does she not realise how beautiful she is?' to my DP. My Dp just said yeah and kept on talking about work....

I came back in and couldn't look at his boss and pretended I hadnt heard. They just left 5 mins ago and now I am blushing like mad....

I am sure he doesn't fancy me (hope not anyways... or work would be fun since his gfriend works there too...) I felt embarrassed but my heart leapt at someone saying such a wonderful thing to me. No one has EVER said anything like that to me. My DP says you're beautiful sometimes but it never sounds quite as amazing as boss said it iyswim.

Maybe its because he's DP's boss that I feel so funny now. Feel like I should retreat and not be so friendly to him now.. but thats silly, because he's just a good friend of me and DP too....

Ye gads I feel funny and confused. My stomach is turning and I am still blushing like a beetroot.

There. Now I have told you lot I feel a bit better. Arghhhhhhhh!!!! >.

Just take it as a compliment PFJ, put it in a box and leave it on the shelf for when you're feeling a bit shit.
I can't agree with him as I've only seen you looking like a pirate but we're all gorgeous to some and it's perfectly fine for someone to think it.

Come and comment on my thread to take your mind off it (and make me feel better )

Also ...am thinking now might be better not to tell DP how I felt after they left when he gets home. He can be a bit emotionally high strung and I dont want me saying about it to get him thinking and have it subtlely change his relationship with boss.

But I want to confide in DP though! I know it was probably meant just as a compliment... but friends of DP/DH's dont normally say things like that...

Boss said it like he really cared what I thought about myself.. not as a 'your wife is nice looking' type compliment...

Anyways. I should have a cuppa, distract myself and shut up.
Hopefully Probably I won't feel this funny this afternoon. ?!?

Morning. Wow, you lucky thing. I can't remember the last time someone I didn't know well told me I was beautiful, in fact, I don't think anyone has.

You're probably right about feeling funny because it's his boss and it always sounds more amazing from someone you don't know. You just assume that your DP/DH thinks your gorgeous/beautiful whatever so when they say it it never sounds the same. Also, I think that when you've been with someone for a while, had kids, etc you just assume that no-one apart from your DP/DH could fancy you or think you're beautiful because you look like/act like a mother & we forget that other people do find us attractive iyswim.

Your right Soph.
I am shaking though. Am I really this insecure about my looks deep down? OR Do I actually fancy boss abit because he notices when I change the house/say interesting things? Am I just a daft cow who won't shut up!?

I love DP though.. so no chance of anything shocking coming from this down the line.

Aww PFJ. It's nothing, really, calm down!!

It's normal to feel boosted when someone compliments you, maybe your DP's boss is used to up-their-own-arses-think-they're-God's-gift women and was surprised that you would be so modest when eh thinks you're hot?

Tbh though, I recently got told by someone I used to hang out with that I was 'dead fit' and it was a shock, a real shock, because they were my mate y'know? It wasn't in a flirty way or anything either just something about how they couldn't believe I stayed with my ex for so long.

Thanks... feel bit better now.
Hopefully will be able to just take it in my stride and not end up mentioning it to DP.

PFJ - daft cow No, seriously, I don't think it's because you're insecure about your looks, it's just because we don't get complimented on a daily basis so it's a bit of a shock when someone does Especially if the bloke doing the complimenting isn't your DP/DH & is good looking himself .... is he good looking btw?

VS - you look great in your photos on your profile btw

Ok DP's boss has sweet eyes and looks abit like Brian May but with shorter shoulderish length hair. I don't fancy him, but thing is.. I never just start by fancying people.. they win me over by either a. Making me laugh until I fall off my chair and pee a little, or b. by just being very impressive and amazing in what they say and how they do things.. which takes a bit more time to catch my eye obviously...

I dont go for what I consider COMPLETE Ugly people.. I know.... but I do tend to find my boyfriend more and more attactive as things go on.

He is not as good looking as my DP though. DP is very handsome in my opinion.

Oooo must look at VS's pics now

Cant see them.. sorry VS. Bet you do look great though

hi - PFJ, that's lovely about DP's boss. Enjoy it, but don't worry about it!

Can you come and comment here please?

I can understand why you don't fancy him if he looks like Brian May You made me laugh with "a. Making me laugh until I fall off my chair and pee a little," I imagine your first dates are interesting

This is me PFJ

VS ... and I thought you had dark hair!

Oh damn, yes.
Erm...
this is me.

Oh harhar.

TSC your other thread is getting on ok there!!
Hope we were helpful....

very helpful thanks. I know you're right, it's just that with all the building work and everything, it'd be nice to have some time at home when its finished. And DH goes to London every day, so it'd be nice for him to have a day off going on Christmas Eve (all our family is there). But IABU, I know...

PFJ - That's lovely , enjoy some one noticing you! It doesn't mean he fancies you, maybe he thinks you are beautiful, a nice person, fantastic mother....and is just noticing you. It may make your dp wake up too . BTW DH's friends and mates do say things like that to people....

VS - you are very sexy

DH is in paper "It wasn't all doom and gloom, however, as DHname stopped his opponent with powerful body kicks and knees early in the second round."

hello! I'm back in the UK! Yawnnnn. And am very jetlagged - first day back, arrived last night and Benedict decided that he didn't need to sleep any more (boo) after his long sleep on the plane (hooray).
DP has put the tree up and ordered in food except the meat for Christmas, what an excellent man, it's helping me feel happier to see the twinkling lights, but my god, our house is horribly un-baby-friendly, my parent's was like a softplay zone in comparison.
Right, will take a while to catch up on what's been going on - just thought I'd wave hello. Got to think of a Christmas name...hmmm
