Sorry dizz - have a mega slice of my stupidly rich and fudgy chocolate cake instead

Thankfully DS seems to wake at whatever time he pleases no matter what time he goes to bed so he might as well go up now as later. I just hope there isn't more 5am calling for me to ignore.

dizzydixies · 20/03/2010 18:41

oh christ, I can't watch the fecking rugby anymore - I've made D cry twice now and given L a fright

dizzydixies · 20/03/2010 18:41

irish feckers booing - poor show indeed poor show

oopsandbabycoconut · 20/03/2010 18:45

Don't for get clock changes tomorrow ladies so we will more than likely get a 6.30/7am start Mil seemed to think I should be impressed that DD would sleep later - the i explained that no matter what time the clock said it wold still only be 5.30/6am in my body and back to being dark!

DH doing bed and bath here too in a bit DD sitting (fully clothed) on her new potty telling me about a wee she is doing, not sure if I should believe her or not.

I needed to pop to mothercare today to pick up a few things for my hospital bag and DH and DD popped to Ikea which is opposite and have some back with a large inflatable ladybird! I am packing my bag stupidly early as DH and Ils are off to Belfast in a couple of weeks and if my bag is packed I will not need it but if I have nothing I will have this baby early. I had forgotten how teeny first size nappies are.

dizzydixies · 20/03/2010 18:46

sorry guys am aware that I'm on my own with this rugby nonsense and the mood I'm in with DH has influenced me more than normal special apologies to Red, LOTI and VG

and frankly if this is a boy he's going to be called Dan Parks Dixie!!!

dizzydixies · 20/03/2010 18:53

when are you in Belfast Oops?

dizzydixies · 20/03/2010 18:54

I'd forgotten about the clocks, no wonder DH has offered me a lie in tomorrow - fecker

luckoftheirish · 20/03/2010 19:07

fear not dizzy you shall have your lie in.. sorry oops but clocks go forward next week.. just had arguement with dh over it and had to google it to prove him right

dizzydixies · 20/03/2010 19:15

hurrah!

oopsandbabycoconut · 20/03/2010 19:34

Loti - that is what I get for listening to DH!!

Dizz - I am not in Belfast - FleasyJet won't let me fly past 32 weeks even with a doctors note! I am home alone with DD for alot of it with a visit from ALBS for a couple of days and my mum for a bit too.

dizzydixies · 20/03/2010 19:46

ah pants, we're heading that way in April so thought if you were there at the same time we could have met up

oopsandbabycoconut · 20/03/2010 19:51

I shouldn't have rung them to check and just turned up and lied! But once DH knew they wouldn't let me fly I was scuppered!

dizzydixies · 20/03/2010 19:55

another time

the girls are now in bed, I gave up and put them upstairs after an argument errupted over a sodding balloon and I've phoned a chinese am tired and I can't be arsed cooking for myself so found a random tenner in my purse and thought sod it

dizzydixies · 20/03/2010 20:43

having managed to resist texting DH the scores and warning off his parents from doing so - my dad has just sent his commiserations

I shouldn't laugh should I

pertelote · 20/03/2010 20:51

Oooo! Dizzy how very, very exciting - congratulations

Hullo everyone else!

oopsandbabycoconut · 20/03/2010 20:55

Ladies - it is good night from me and hopefully I will get a lie in past 8.30 tomorrow.

Dizzy - sleep well adn enjoy your moment once DH arrives home

pertelote · 20/03/2010 20:55

That's the pregnancy not the rugby by the way

pertelote · 20/03/2010 20:57

Goodnight Oops, sleep well.

dizzydixies · 20/03/2010 21:06

thanks pert

night oops

has anyone seen No1 recently

RedLentil · 20/03/2010 21:15

Flick down over today's posts and see all those smileys.

Loti - I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight. Can I give you a gentle feminist nudge about something you posted this morning if you don't mind.

You wrote that it was '6 solid weeks and counting since i was last allowed sleep past 6/7 am.'

That 'allowed' has been upsetting me all day. Your DH and your DDs have to be told to respect your rights: don't wait for them to notice you need respect and support. Demand it.

Cyteen, please can I have some cake? I promise to check out how other forums work if I can have a small slice.

RedLentil · 20/03/2010 21:23

€ - testing, testing (ignore me)

hotterpotter · 20/03/2010 21:43

Hello everyone

Have had a very strange day rummaging through cupboards at my grandma's house - man that woman had sooo many clothes she also had about £5K in twenty pound notes stashed in her bedroom . Have come home with allsorts, from hats and handbags to frozen yorkshire puddings, teddies and towels. All smells lovely of grandma's house Got to go back next week to sort through the kitchen cupboards and the garden shed. Somebody remind me I am supposed to be decluttering my house not filling it up

I'm putting a tenner on Dizzybaby being DS1, then you will have to have one more just to prove you weren't just having more until you got a son

Wine open at last, and relax
