Nutts. Repeat after me. Tosser. Tosser. You don't need this tosser in your life. You're doing just fine thank you very much. Tosser.

Are you feeling better?

NuttSlasher · 03/11/2009 11:34

i know, i know he is a tosser and i know i should be finding something other than serious amounts of despair and the urge to vomit in all this and i pray i do and soon i cant breath i dont think i have ever felt worse than the way i do right now (and i've been through a fair bit of shit so its quite suprising)

i need time in fact sod time i need a rather large bottle of bacardi

surprisenumber3 · 03/11/2009 11:41

Nutty ((hugs)) I remember the day mine fell through the door, felt like I'd been winded (even though I wanted it!). Look how well you're doing though! It'll get easier once the initial 'punched in the stomach' feeling is over. Promise.

Feierabend · 03/11/2009 12:02

I hardly ever think about exDH now although he & his family keep appearing in my dreams.

bronze · 03/11/2009 12:13

Remember whatever the divorce papers say if they go through then you are finally free of the bastard. You know they are lies. He knows they are lies and noone will ever look at the damn things again anyway. What will come of this is that you will be free to love and be loved by someone who is worth it.

Bicnod · 03/11/2009 12:18

Oh Nutty - he is a bastard and you are worth a million of him. Like the others have said - whatever lies the papers say they mean you will be free, it will be over and you can properly move forward. grit your teeth and get through it - you are strong enough. Sending enormous hugs x x x

Feierabend · 03/11/2009 13:12

Grrrrr. Am reading an aibu and it's making me very angry. What is it with this 'my baby, my choice' line that people keep quoting? As in 'my 8 year old is still in nappies and it's nobody's business, he's my child so therefore I do what I want with him even if it's completely crazy and will turn him into a total nutter?' Or something to that effect

mrsgBANGing · 03/11/2009 13:40

linky please?

kingbangwoosh23 · 03/11/2009 13:47

Fei - I know what you mean, but, there is a term that I'm not sure I'm understanding correctly...troll. What does that mean?? Does it mean that people are posting things just to get a reaction?? If so, there must be loads..."how long can I keep my child locked in my car?? I want to do my "big" shop and I don't want take my child with me"....I hope they are "joke" posts tbh, if there really such unbelievably ridiculous people out there I will lose the will to live!!!

kingbangwoosh23 · 03/11/2009 14:37

BTW - I have just posted on AIBU!!!! [grin}

Feierabend · 03/11/2009 16:19

A friend of mine recently moved to Ethiopia and had a baby there. Baby is now 2 or 3 months old and they have chosen not to have him vaccinated 'because he is so healthy'. WTF? If I posted an AIBU about this because it upsets me on behalf of the little chap, I guarantee there'll be hundreds of posters telling me to back off because it's my friend's choice. Similarly, my cousin has a 2 month old who had such a bad cough that he turned blue. She didn't want to take him to see a doctor and when my aunt insisted and called one and the baby was sent to hospital with bronchitis, my cousin initially didn't want him put on antibiotics. Luckily the docs persuaded her but again - my baby my choice? I don't think so

Rant over...

BoffMonster · 03/11/2009 17:53

I am in a taxi coming back from being at a conference overnight, and my tits are about to explode!

I can proudly announce I have been topless in the House of Commons today. Am I the first?

ladyofmuswell · 03/11/2009 18:11

Hi there, are you at home to a newbie ? I see that you all know each other really well by now so feel free to tell me to bog off.
My littly (Samuel) was born 30 April. He's lovely but life is just one big stress ball at the mo and I did a bit of MNing when pregnant and remembered how useful it was to discuss things with invisible people sometimes!

GUYmauve · 03/11/2009 18:39

Oops! Baby names should be in CAPS. I will be in TROUBLE!!!!!

ladyofmuswell · 03/11/2009 18:52

Thank you - very honoured . Was inspired to join after a rubbish day - got stuck in London traffic for 3 hours with DS crying his head off and me too for a bit... had lunch with my sister who is lovely but baby-free and a bit unaware of how stressful things can be... then noticed a big scary red raw patch of skin on DS's neck - went straight from traffic to doctor, back home and thought.... I need MN! Just suddenly hit me that stresses like this are here to stay. Definitely worth it for the upsides but in a bit of a hmph day... Sorry for unloading, especially to NuttSlasher - I see that you've had a truly awful day so my little gripes must seem pretty insignificant.

kingbangwoosh23 · 03/11/2009 18:53

Hey how come you haven't added me?? Do you not really like me??

Bicnod · 03/11/2009 19:14

Gui's gonna be in trouble, Gui's gonna be in trouble...

PUZZLE - SHE DID IT WRONG !

p.s. welcome ladymus

WheeeFreshSparkleBang · 03/11/2009 19:15

hello ladyofmuswell, people without children simply have no idea sometimes, don't they? I used to be just the same....

I'm just popping in to say that two other people put higher offers in on the house we wanted, and we can't match them. So I am officially In A Grump.

Bicnod · 03/11/2009 19:18

kazkisswooshh · 03/11/2009 19:22

oooh sucky sucky suck suck. both to house situations and too nutts wanktosser...

Hi ladyofmuswell!!!!!

Boff: Strangely i actually very much doubt you are the first to be topless in the house of commons!!! what with all the scandal occuring in the 90's!haha.

kazkisswooshh · 03/11/2009 19:25

oooh can i say i am actually quite excited. that HV came and weighed babies today and not only has ollie caught up weight wise with isabelle he is now 2oz heavier! oh and nearly 2cm taller!!! It is cos he is a food monster! I was alway worried that he was gonna be tiny compared to her. but i have a feeling he is gonna tower over her now!

Feierabend · 03/11/2009 19:28

Properly topless, with pumps attached to both breasts Boff?

Must be off to parents evening. Thanks everyone for ignoring my rant earlier

WFH that's shit about the house. But, you'll find an even nicer one. Promised.
