TwilightSurfer · 29/01/2009 20:27

how old would you say i was meetuppers?

When i had dd ppl always thought i was about 18. I was young - but not that young

PetitFilou1 · 29/01/2009 20:28

TS I think in Buckets house it is probably the other way round

If you don't get proper amounts of sleep, fireworks during sex can be compromised. Therefor the choice is a NO BRAINER!

ALBS you are .... okay i can't play because i cheated.

LOL yeah but the quality of sleep afterwards is much improved... The big decider will be Sunday as a mate is coming over to watch the Superbowl so will have to find time in the morning or as soon as the kids are in bed.

I tried to storm out after a row on Sunday afternoon but when you amble back with a Waitrose meal-for-two it doesn't count as a proper flounce doesn't it? Couldn't resist their £10 deal! I did eat the whole box of Gordon Ramsay chocs by myself though (and felt quite sick later.)

sambo303 · 29/01/2009 20:46

albs you are definitely somewhere between 10 and 50 - am I close ?

Buckets · 29/01/2009 20:47

Ladies can I be a charity mugger and draw your attention to this Mumsnet link please? Just fill in your name and address and it emails your MP for you to help get this year's Autism Bill through Parliament. It needs another 63 MPs signed up by 27th Feb, that's why I'm bugging everyone who doesn't live in my constiuency.
Thank you!

Now in floods of tears
I thought a mum at school had been avoiding me but had no idea why (she is 40 something so I thought I was being paranoid cos "grown ups" don;t play games do they?).

Texted her to inviet her d dto play and mentioned I was worried i'd upset her. She text back saying she's disappointed in me because i tried to get another mum to change plans before xmas.

We never did. We had invited a few girls round before xmas. not her dd as my dd hadn't requested her lol. no malice, just not wanting the entire class.

ppl were slow to get back to use. dh did some chasing. one mum said she couldn't as she was working. we offered to collect her twins, she said oh no actually x's mum is taking them somewhere. Fine. we suggested collecting them afterwards but x and mum are going round for mince pies....

then, another mum says oops, my dd (k) is going out with x.

we agree that k will come later after finishing with the other group.

Fine i think - a shame the twins who are leaving can't come but ok.

Fast forward to this term. x's mum seems to be avoiding me. I am quite shy anyhow (hence my mn name lol). I can't work out why. Briefly wonder if cos not invited her dd, but equally she hadn't invited mine so, whatever.

Am so astounded that it has been relayed that we asked ppl to change plans. Appar we KNEW their plans (oh no, we didn't til v late on) and we've acted badly.

Feel so so crap. WOnder how many mums think i'm a pile of shite now.

F*&king private school mummies

sambo303 · 29/01/2009 20:48

pf I can second the aging effect of children - whilst in labour bouncing about on my birthing ball dp reached over and pulled a grey hair from my scalp - my first ever!!! And nice timing dp

alittlebitshy · 29/01/2009 20:48

sambo nah -way off .....

sambo303 · 29/01/2009 20:52

albs hope you ok, text not the best way to communicate at times like these, can you call her to explain she's got it wrong?

oopsacoconut · 29/01/2009 20:56

Evening all

My IL's are driving me NUTS they are having marital problems and MIL has taken to summoning DH at any hour of the day or night expecting him to run over there and sort things out. I am now getting a little tired of it - DH walked in the door and the phone rang, he left came back 2 hours later he said Hi to DD the phone rang he disapeared and has only just got back. DD is sensing the tension and playing up - she refused her bed time feed and cried everytime he left the room. She is now finally sleeping, without dinner, so I will go and dream feed her in a bit. This is causing serious tension between DH and I as he won't talk to me and is currently beating the hell out of his punch bag.

On the other hand I had a fantastic lunch with my mum at Cribbs Causeway. John Lewis has a fab restaurant and is very baby friendly. DD spent time sucking and chewing a rocket leaf it was quite spicy but it didn't put her off.

The sex or sleep thing sex usually wins in this house followed by a short but fitful nap! BUT the challenge is off this week - my period had arrived this morning but also as things must be back to normal on the hormone front too.

Off to eat waffles and ice cream - I need it!

PetitFilou1 · 29/01/2009 21:00

albs call her or even better see her face to face - it never fails to knock people off their guard

Don't cry, it really isn't worth it - and what an odd thing to say that she is 'disappointed in you' as though you are some little child and she is the teacher

TwilightSurfer · 29/01/2009 21:04

Oops THAT MEANS in 13 to 17 days YOU COULD BE PREGNANT!!!!!!!

CaptainCaveman · 29/01/2009 21:11

Aww albs speak to her tomorrow if you see her on the school run? Just be bluntly honest with her and tell her how upset you were/are by how mistaken she was. BTW, are you 74?

VG hope you soon feel much better

no1 I cannot believe, having seen you in the flesh, that you are old enough to have 2 children

buckets I can't believe that you are old enough to have 3 children! Were you 12 when you had your first?!

happy birthday miamla Hope you have had a lovely day and enjoy the last 3 hours of it

Teething central in our house too - poor little O is suffering like ds1 never did. His little bum is sore too. We are doing rotations of calgel, teetha powders, calpol and calprofen. Like you say ts -would you just arrive already little teeth

alittlebitshy · 29/01/2009 21:12

I don;t do calling or face to face. I just cry or talk jibberish.

she blatently thinks i've tried to cock up her plans and no explaining on my part is going to change her mind.

from my end - and this is not meant to sounds sour or up myself but she's taking some mixed up scenarios and the word of the mother of two little girls who made my little girl's life hell but she still loved them to bits (you may remember me telling you all about them "stealing" her friend and telling her she couldn't play - ages ago) - girls whose life is quite up and down cos mum and dad split up, mum got new boyfriend, girls at school from 7.50 til 6pm in wraparound care and i think mum capable of being a bit back stabbing/ sly for want of another word (in my addled crying state) over mine, and saying that my dh was asking them to change plans. my dh the vicar ffs, who was as innocent as me about the other plans and who was just trying to implement a get togetehr we;d promised dd months ago as it's been hard to have friends over since ds was born (no room for extra child in car) - which we had mentioned to the parents week in advance.

Really really not wanting to do school run tomo. clearly number one cow and wonder who else thinks so.

Thought was sliding into a bit of a depression. Accelerated loads now

scuse typos. crying too much

CaptainCaveman · 29/01/2009 21:13

oops hope your ILs bugger off and leave you alone!

pf thats one scary stare!

ironing not happened now....

CaptainCaveman · 29/01/2009 21:17

Hmm, difficult one albs - I'm guessing you and dh will pray about it, so I will pray too {{{{{hugs}}}}}. Do you value this woman's friendship or would you be happy to just acknowledge her rather than talk? She obv hasn't made much effort to find out the truth of it whereas a real friend would. If you don't feel comfortable talking to her about this then be curteous but leave it at that?
