I'm not sure what you mean scorp?
My bank send me a new debit card every three years with the same pin as current one as a matter of standard practice. Just normal delivery as well.

If you're worried someone may have the pin number just call the bank and see if they have been/are being sent (they may have been delayed because they don't send the pin/card by the same post incase of theft) and if they don't turn up soon request new pins?

Scorps i would not worry too much- ATM our post is being delviered at 5 by managers becuase of the strikes: depending on where the bank HQ is you could well see delays

Scorps · 15/09/2009 17:49

The account has never had a debit card though, a book and a card but only for cash machines. Not chipped.

Hello everyone

I haven't been on for ages and I find peachy leaving and Scorps in a painful situation

I have been waffling away cathartically about my hideous ex, so please CAT me peachy if you want. I know our situations are different but it's always good to rant to a sympathetic ear!

Ellis is toddling happily now and has been for a good 2 months (more??) she also appears to have a full set of teeth!
We are still co-sleeping, still BF tho I have mastitis at the moment but was quick to get some ABs so hopefully will clear up soon.

She goes to nursery three days a week and absolutely loves it. Can climb up on chairs, initially freaked out a bit but now have calmed down.
Her current favourite trick is holding any phone-like object to her ear and going "ummm (or I'm)...yeah"
she has also started to look at books as opposed to ripping them up

VeeEsss · 16/09/2009 07:38

MO - take a look at the last few posters wrt Peachy leaving.

BethNoire · 16/09/2009 08:38

Tell you what though this name change lark works wonders- I dont feel so attached to the name as it doesnt include my own and dont get so offended. WOndrous

Scorps · 16/09/2009 09:59

I'm bored today already, lol. Though i'm out all morning tomorrow and Friday so trying to force myself to have a quiet day.

Mimi is back in nursery in October; thinking it will be good to have a day of me time, plus its every Wednesday which is MW appt day here. Will prob be a god-send when baby is born too. Worker i have known for years is deputy manager = me very happy.

DH is taking from middle of December off, so week 38 - 2 weeks postnatal. yay. I will be o fed up of him . Also need to 'do' Xmas, buy double buggy. Not much left to sort then!!

DH & I doing OK. Am slowly starting to understand (thankyou Vee Ess) that it wasn't 'her', she could have been anyone...it's him. My biggest concern now is when if he does it again. I already have a growing 'escape' fuck you fund.

Is every word in this thread bold to all of you?

OP posts:
BethNoire · 16/09/2009 10:47

Yup, it is scorps

It is very quiet here- rfist time Dha nd I hve ben without a child since the start of the Easter hols 2008.... Bs is trialling childminders (he was cryinga s we left so it will tkae yime, but she ahd harry and is lovely)....... DH is very chilled but I hate it LOL

Scorps · 16/09/2009 10:53

Time for dc5

I don't want anymore dc, this time has been the worst ever. Oddly (and i know EXACTLY why) DH is saying that this doesn't have to be the end. Well, it is.

OP posts:
BethNoire · 16/09/2009 10:56

Oh no LOL- no more. Can'tcatch up with the washing as it is, no chance!

Scorps · 16/09/2009 10:58

I get you on the washing thing. My poor washing machine especially as we do cloth nappies too, and dd2 will have cloth too.

DH wants to go to pub for few drinks with his mate for his birthday next week. I'm very scared to let him out of my sight. . i have said No, and he hasn't moaned, but i do realise that he has to have a life of some sort eventually doesn't he?

OP posts:
BethNoire · 16/09/2009 11:03

Compromise-let him go (waht'sthe point if the only ay you can keep him faitful is by watching over him? That's not a marriage, it's a nursery calss) but give him a limited, set time- back by 10 or so.

Scorps · 16/09/2009 11:05

I agree. And he is only ever going to 'prove' faithfullness by being in that kinda situation again isn't he? iyswim.

OP posts:
EllieG · 16/09/2009 14:18

What beth said - at some point you are going to have to let him out by himself or nothing will ever be right or normal again. But it is hard for you I know, and I'd be feeling the same about letting him out too.

Took Molly to doc and she has an ear infection - DH poo-poohed me, saying No, is not, she's fine, so I booked an appt secretly and didn't tell him and lo and behold I was right, she DOES have poorly ears. I just knew she wasn't quite right, even though she is quite perky. Bless her, she kept pointing to her ears and saying 'Ear' too, so was obviously trying to tell me. And that will have explained the grumpiness and hitting self round head then. I love being right, me
Picked her up at lunchtime from nursery and my Mum is having her this afternoon, so she's all tucked up napping now and then an afternoon of being indulged with Nana.

EllieG · 16/09/2009 14:23

Why does it all look funny?

Scorps · 16/09/2009 14:28

I have found in my 2 experiences (jamie & Mimi) of ear infections it never looks like ears but is iyswim.

It is all bold isn't it!

I would like to be able to 'let' him out. God i feel like such a stupid old nagging bitch, i never used to care.

paranoidmummy · 16/09/2009 14:47

I'm glad its bold on everyone else's comps too. I thought I'd done something horrible to the display!

Ellie - hope she gets better soon. Your posts always make me LOL! I imagine your lo to be really hilarious by how you describe her. I always imagine you two to be a really fun mum and daughter combo! I know its naughty of me but your posts about her hitting really made me laugh just cos it sounded so mischievous!

This will prob be my last time on here before dd arrives so I will post when I'm back. In the meantime hope everyone takes care. I have a poorly ds2 which is f#cking great timing!!! I'm hoping its a 24 hour thing. Just one more thing before I go, I am absolutely pooing myself about the section fri... to those of you that have had electives... that's normal right? It doesn't mean I'm forseeing some kind of impending doom?! I feel like a complete idiot seeing as I have had 2 before but I think its just KNOWING I am having surgery is terrifying me! Hey ho, it'll all be worth it... See you all when I am back

ps. i wonder what happens if i try to make a word bold now...

paranoidmummy · 16/09/2009 14:48

nothing... it looked the same as the rest... figures I suppose! Thought it may look 'unbold'!

BYeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for now

Scorps · 16/09/2009 14:52

Good luck! you will be fine, you are just nervous cos you know its surgery and you know the date/time, not becuase its anything bad.

OP posts:
VeeEsss · 16/09/2009 15:43

IT's completely normal to be a bit wibbly before an ELCS pm. Just try to enjoy it as much as you can, remember just because you are not mobile, does NOT mean you are not in control. It's your experience, your body and your baby, and at the end of the day, YOUR decisions.

Scorp, glad things are starting to make a bit more sense in your head now, I thought it was deeper for him than 'girls' even before we spoke but since our chat am even more definite about it, also agree that you can't keep him locked up forever, reminds me of that film 'Misery' Would you rather he was still with you and being faithful because he had no other option or because he chose to be

Am probably gonna be back in Cornwall the weekend of the 25th, hopefully with PiLs in tow for babysitting duties

Scorps · 16/09/2009 15:52

Cos he wants to, for sure. Haven't seen that film but will look for it now

oooh Cornwall again, have you fallen in love with it? If you stay at Tolroy my sister is the receptionist lol. Gimme a shout if you want a friend again.
