ah no pf sorry to hear about your tits up night. Dh on lates so I know how you feel BUT it went not too bad tonight, don't know how as I didn't do anything different - strange how sometimes things can go COMPLETELY wrong or otherwise.

I couldn't really get into 'wife in the north' I didn't think it had a decent flow but then someone pointed out to me it was taken from a blog and never meant to be a novel I did think the way she spoke about her DD was lovely though

if anyone wants a copy am happy to pass on mine

cyteen how did I miss you're feeling down? am so sorry I missed that - let me go back and find it

dizzydixies · 14/01/2009 20:32

ok, found it, apologies again - maybe we should have a thread rule that important things should be typed in red and normal chat in black

all of mine would be black due to my wittering and crappy patter

cyteen first of all can I please say don't make the mistake of undermining or 'missing' how you're feeling - it is so easy to get all caught up in it all.

trying to find a routine, making sure you're doing the best for Joe, getting back into shape etc etc all of these things are important BUT the world will not stop turning if you think, sod it, I am having a day snuggling with my boy and sod the washing/dinner/hoovering/looking presentable etc

take it from someone who's pfb is now nearly 6 I only wish I'd taken to my bed and indulged myself in her completely as I now feel like I've blinked and missed it.

secondly it is wonderful that you are aware that you are feeling down/not quite right. It could be exhaustion or it could be PND or just a low moment but the fact that you are aware of it is a great thing as long as you keep talking to someone/dp/us then you know whats going on and to watch for anything serious

having a new baby can be overwhelming. having a new baby after such a huge bereavement can also cause you to have mixed emotions. either one on their own can send you in a spin so you're doing fantastically well and I think I speak obo of everyone, we'll give you all the support and help we can

shall leave now and let someone else talk sense as I seem to be wittering

PetitFilou1 · 14/01/2009 20:39

ah but dizzy you weren't reading about your own life were you?! It has had me in stitches

sazzles very jealous, I have bought Red magazine. I bought it about three days ago. Have I had a chance to read it? Have I bllcks

You may think what is she doing now then but I am multitasking as eating at the same time as MNing

Haven't got Sky (I think we are the only people on the planet) bah humbug

Yes sazz evening is fine as have made packed lunches and am now on here ignoring gargantuan ironing pile. dh coming home anyway thankfully. it is so depressing eating alone.

Anyway must go and iron .....unless I can find alternative diverting activity

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pf don't iron , I'm also ignoring mine and if you do it I'll be guilted into it too

AnnVan · 14/01/2009 21:01

PF - I haven't got sky either. We went with Virgin, and for us that's fine as we don't watch much tv. The price you pay for sky and there's still nothing on
Anyway, supposed to be going trampolining. Waiting for DP to get back so I can go. Son't know if I really feel like it. But maybe it will help boost my mood a little.

TwilightSurfer · 14/01/2009 21:05

ok how's this for bad mommy honor:
i forgot to give reese her one real baby food meal yesterday. i remembered in retrospect. AAARRGGHH!!!! routine! where is my routine!!!!

captain how much is oliver eating at each meal? reese always wants more that one can of baby food so i'm giving her one jar PLUS a bottle (sometimes 7 whole ounces). MY CHILD EATS!

i think ya'll will find it interesing seeing the pictures of reese & emma side by side in a few months. i had to put a 12m outfit on the girl today.

PetitFilou1 · 14/01/2009 21:13

sazzles I don't bother with them just go to nationalrail.co.uk

creak dizzy that was the ironing board going up

dizzydixies · 14/01/2009 21:17

wench

I've actually sorted out a whole load of clothes to be stored/binned/charity shopped etc and dh decided to help by doing some ironing - it was of course a pile about to be shoved in a bag and stored instead of ones to be ones soon bless him

TS Dylan seems to be completely off her food now am waiting on this highchair turning up so I can sit her in that and let her play with her food on there but the porridge she loved last week is now getting completely ignored

she loves apple flavoured rice cakes though

dizzydixies · 14/01/2009 21:19

oops I meant to ask are you taking some arnica? should help your fingers heal

no news of poppy's work day? shall text her

oopsacoconut · 14/01/2009 21:19

Sazzles - I used virgin trains - even though it was great western trains I was travelling on - just looked and from Bedwyn (near Marlborough) to Paddington is £23 return for the 27th haven't check any other stations though. They are always cheapest for some reason. Can you tell it is crossing my mind to skip swimming and come to London???

TwilightSurfer · 14/01/2009 21:22

OMG! Could someone toss me a flaming baton I think I should practice juggling that too.

Sazzles, off to type up notes for you. Owner's agent ANSWERED but was running out the door to me electrician at a property....tree fell on power lines. I pressed her for quick details. She was very lovely.

Dizzy, Reese LOVES LOVES LOVES food. She's not turned her nose up an anything. But it's like she's not getting enough BUT I DON'T WANT TO OVERFILL HER. How do I know?? I feel like a new mother with this process for some reason.
