Just a quick message to see if anyone heard from Bethoo at all? I saw on FB she and her DH have split so hope she is ok. I will meassage her later and check. Poor thing though as her baby due dec/jan I think!

Yes to xmas meet up too

50ft what a Twunt with a capital C I hope she finds someone else who actually respects her. I bet he is the sort to make it difficult for her now too!

for your friend, 50ft I do NOT understand how people can do things like that!

and ohhhhhh ok. I can see one of the words that it comes from now. That is a nasty word. I have heard it much too often when we lived in Central London and I was always . Not sure of the other one though. My parents used to jokingly call someone a "twit" if they were being annoying. Is that not a nice word in the UK? Or is it another word?

Someone else organize this christmas meet up because I'm bad at that.

Q has started to get really shy when he sees people he doesn't know, actually, so separation anxiety is higher I can see.

Aubergenie - really good point! I totally didn't even think of that! N's probably just wanting to walk!

I'm sure that someone told you the words already star - it's twat, not twit.
Yes, I did say that I'd left a cup in D's cot. Did it for a few nights, though haven't tonight. We did it with dd for years - in fact still do!

Good thought aubergenie re the walking.

50ft - 'when they're ds was born' - you must be annoyed - your spelling/grammar has gone all to pot!

The other word is twat Star which is you didn't know, is a milder version of the C word, meaning the same thing.

Jenwa - He is indeed making everything difficult for her. He is totally screwing her, saying he'll lie to get SS on her if she reports the affair, trying to fight for custody of their ds saying that she is mentally unstable, etc etc etc. He was DH's friend but DH has lost all respect for him & doesn't want to know him anymore. She will find someone else, she is seriously beautiful and well groomed plus she's only 23 so she'll be fine. My brother is gorgeous and single, for example! I am in awe of how strong she's being.

Star - Even DH (who is after all, only a man) can't understand what he's playing at. Her exH tried to get her (and they're baby ds) kicked out of their apartment. What a charmer! If DH did that to me various members of my family would be queuing up to disembowel him!

I am angry CSWS, and that would explain the their slip up! It can be the only explanation.

I also meant if rather than is in the first sentence of that last post.

Ok, I'm sticking one in there now
I've heard twat before on TV here and probably when out and about.

Not sure why that word didn't come to mind. Is it a really bad word or is the c word worse? I've heard people use the c word more and my skin crawls every time.

thanks for that csws. I was leaving it alone because I felt so horrible about the situation, but I felt relief wash over me reading your post

Poor bethoo Come talk to us, Bethoo!!

I saw on fb that Ksal is quite sick with the flu

Oh yes, Bethoo said months ago on fb that she'd broken up with her dp. Is this a new thing that you've read Jenwa?

50ft you did it again

Poor her and DS. How awful I hope things settle for her soon so she can at least have minimal contact with him. Nice that she can come over to your house for some peace and time away.

I thought they were back together and then broke up again, csws? Not 100% sure on that... no idea.

Ok, I just looked at her antenatal thread for DC3 and saw her story How awful Wait,.. is that considered stalking?
Poor thing.

Oh yeah! I think I need a lie down! I am usually so good with there their and they're. I think it must be because "they're" is my favourite (followed by there, I don't like their, it's sneaky)

Yes they broke up and got back together now it looks like he has been an arse and not sure about the stalking but he appears to have stopped her speaking to and looking at men, past and present. I hope she is ok!

50ft Well lets hope everyone else sees through him and realise what an arse he is, no way would he be able to look after his ds and he would turn him against his mum too! I hope she is ok and that it does not turn horrible for the sake of her ds

for your friend 50ft. What an utter tosser.

I've got a friend whose husband is similar - totally destroyed her confidence and was shagging several women while she was heavily pregnant. She finally kicked him out and I made it very clear what I thought of him... then they got back together!! Makes social situations really awkward and we see less and less of each other because she knows what a twunt with a C I think he is.

I'm definitely up for a Chistmas get together! No idea when though as the calendar is filling up fast.

I hope Bethoo's OK, poor thing.

Have any of you cut your dc's hair yet? S is starting to look a bit ridiculous, but I can't quite bring myself to do it.

I've cut M's hair three times already and it is in her eyes again! I have adopted N's hairstyle for her so I tie the front back out of her eyes. Don't think look will work for S though. I am planning to grow her hair a little just to see how it goes...... You have to come to a Christmas meet up. I want to meet you and your gorgeous boy!

myjob I have left P to sleep until the afternoon when she wont go down in the morn and in did result in a miserable overtired girl who never wanted to eat her lunch! I think it persevering with morning nap then. I think P is going to stop her afternoon nap as she has not wanted to go back to sleep these last few days! I will see how we go but otherwise I think she will only have the morning one now!

I have not cut P's hair, well only the back wispy bits which I was gutted about but they did look rather odd! I tie it up too now. Not sure about boys though, I think clips and bobbles would look rather odd I have seen afew boys though with rather bad hair, like its been cut around a bowl, I would maybe trim it or take him to the barbers

yehhhhh the twins have finally gone on Xfactor!!!!

She's standing though isn't she Myjob? And that's all part of the same continuum.

I'll definitely try to make it if we meet up 50ft. It's just that my days off and weekends are getting busy for the next month.

I'm not sure that S can really carry off a top knot or hair slide. Hmm. I need to do the back as well - when it's wet it goes down past his shoulders. I might have a go myself when dp's not around - he'd convinced I'm going to give him a pudding bowl look.

Hey all, Pops still isn't walking MyJob, altho she took 2 steps twice again today at my PIL's. I've been helping at the NCT sale most of the day, kind of nice to have a different day TBH, feel guilty saying that and I loved seeing Pops again when I got back tho! I got some serious bargains tho, got this as new, in the box - a fiver and this for £3.50! Plus Monsoon top for £1, oh and loads of other stuff.

Oh and DH isn't sure if he wants another baby He's concerned that we don't cope very well with Pops, never mind two (the house is always a mess). Plus he's worried that something will happen to me during labour, as they were telling him in the last few hours the last time that I was at risk of a stroke, plus he's worried about living through the PND again! I can't blame him I suppose but I think it's all worth it to have a brother or sister for Pops. He's not properly decided yet and he'll probably come round to my way of thinking, but if he doesn't...well, it doesn't bear thinking about.

Oh Hmm!!! You and DH are fabulous parents. Everyone worries about their parenting skills with their first. I think Dh and I were rubbish with ds, but he's turned out all right! With M, as long as she is happy & healthy then hey, we're doing our job! Could you not request a c-section next time? It's no walk in the park but in your case it might be less risky. PND, you can be prepared this time, you know what's coming and can be prepared. Or alternatively, you might not suffer from it at all a second time round. Or in a much milder form. I think I had PND with ds, but I was fine with M (although I might have had a touch of it, not enough to cause a problem). The PND is temporary, the risk to your health in labour can be avoided & you are good parents. I can understand his concerns, but this it something that is so, so important to you. I hope he comes to his senses....

Oh and (!) does anyone fancy doing a secret santa? I think the Nov 08 thread are doing one, could be fun? Say £5 or £10 each?

Pops has got a nasty cough and a cold, prob picked it up at the paed appt at hospital the other day, they kept us waiting for an hour

She's started saying "quack quack" in the last week (altho it's more like "gack gack" it's so cute!

Right, I think that's it!!!

Just realise I misunderstood what you meant about not coping!
As long as things are clean then who cares about mess?! It's only stuff.
