I have been hanging about for a few days waiting for the new thread, so I thought I'd get off my ass and make one myself. Happy weekend all, and Happy Mother's Day!

XXX

Arrgghhh the glamour! Ds2 has headlice. Mimi cut her mouth open today. Piglet just poohed on me. Sigh.

In other news, I appear to be the object of someones affections. He knows about dc, H, everything and apparently it's all ok..... I'm just not sure how I feel. In general I mean - I kinda feel asexual iyswim, I don't think I'd go out with David beckham right now! He is sweet, intelligent, good job, loves kids.... I'm not open for a 1-2-1 yet but a group of us are going out in a month and he will be there too - meanwhile I enjoy chatting, etc. Any input anyone? Truthful please.

Piglet is still bottle refusing!

hmm. Well...I don't know but I think if you're not sure how you feel it wouldn't be fair on the guy to do anything other than group outings until you do feel a bit surer. Slow and no mixed signals .

Good lord this mothering lark is lovely, isn't it? I had a wrestling match with babybee this evening...tomorrow I swear I will just let him do the thing he melts-down about. I'm going to give up in

Morning all.

Scorps - I'm with Ladybee on this one, group outings for now and see how it goes. You don't need the added emotion of a 1-2-1 at the moment and you don't want him to get the wrong idea. If he's really that interested in you he'll go with the flow and wait until you're ready (IMO that is). If it's meant to be it will be IYSWIM

Motherhood is glamorous isn't it I'm just permanently covered in snot at the moment .... lovely

No Ladybee be strong ... once he realises he's getting one over on you then he'll keep doing it. I know you want to give in but try not to - it will get better, promise

Hello! Sorry a bit quiet here, I missed our thread off threads I'm on, which doesn't happen often!

Urgh, headlice, I dread the day R comes home with some. Everyone says it's just a matter of time, but I try not to think about it too much!

Hang in there, Ladybee, you're probably on the brink of a good change, it just feels like forever when you're in the midst of it.

Soph and Ellie, not sure whether I should be seriously impressed with you two on you diet regimes or jealous as I'd be surrounded by fabulous looking people soon whilst trying to squeeze into too small jeans... How's it going?

I got a BOX yes a BOX of roses from man a frigging BOX

he asked would I maybe, if I'm free and want to, go out for a picnic or a meal if I can leave baby

he sends me roses cos he likes ne. H bought me them when he cheated. Worlds apart!!

This is me

Hey Sal. Just to let you know (although this is bound to sod it up ) but DS1 has never had headlice, even though it's rife in his class at the moment. DH & I never got them at school either.

The diet is going surprisingly well, although it's not easy because the first few days are protein only. I've lost a kilo a day so far so am very I can start adding veggies on Thurs but I may carry on the protein only phase for another couple of days. I can already see the difference & I don't feel anywhere near as bloated as I used to. However, saying that, I absolutely steadfastly refuse to give up the wine on a Friday evening

Blimey Scorps I don't think I've ever seen a box of Roses. I'm really pleased for you but at the same time ... and I don't mean to sound like your mother ... but just tread cautiously to start off with, I'd hate to see you get hurt again. Saying that I am very for you.

I know soph we are meeting up at end of month at a friends party, I'm not ready for one to ones and he's very cool with that.

That's alright then Scorps I shall now release you from my apron strings

Lol soph don't worry I'm not jumping in

I had my hair done today feel fab lol

Morning all.

Scorps - great to hear you're feeling fab I massacred Sam's hair with the clippers at the weekend ... he now looks like a right thug LOL

I'm very depressed at the moment .... because I'm on this diet and can't eat carbs for another 77 days I can't indulge in chip day

The only good thing is that I can now start introducing veggies and salad stuff into my "regime" so I've made myself a bloody awful wonderful salad for lunch, whoopee! Please send virtual restraints to stop me going down to the dining room.

Soph - I salute you and your giving up of carbs. Well done lady, just think how fabulous you'll look at the end of 77 days. 77 is an awful long time though isn't it? Sorry, that probably wasn't helpful!

Not much going on here, workign like a demon and trying to fit in poor family sometimes

Have got afternoon off for some mummy/Molly time though and we will go to the park as the sun is shining hurray

Diet going well, lost 2 pounds last week and so far so good this week, apart from one teeny tiny bit of cake which hardly counted I don't think!

scorps - hurray for you, we all knew you were fabulous! But echo the being careful mother-hen message too xxx

Hang on in there Ladybee...'twill all be OK....

We have given Molly a little duvet and pillow as she likes snuggling down in our bed and although she has slept beautifully once asleep, bedtime has become rather protracted because she thinks they are playthings. Last night she was yelling for me and I went in to find her with the pillow on her head snickering going 'Molly funny!' and I really wanted to laugh cos she was rather. But she didn't go to sleep til 9 pm which was annoying.

Ellie ... you're right it is a long time, especially as I'm still supposed to be doing it during my hols! May have to put it on hold while we're in England. I'm pleased to hear that Mollie is still cheeky

Ahh bless molly! I thought the other day mimi might like a pillow... Kids are staying ovenight with K starting this week, feels weird I'll miss them!

Yes I will be very slow and will only do what I want to do, slowly. It's very early and a bit odd still.

Whay hay, congratulations on the diet success so far, you two!

Scorps, I love your hair (saw on FB), you look amazing! And sounds happier than I've heard you in ages. Glad you're taking things slowly, but also glad that you get spoilt a bit! Well, a lot! You deserve it.

Burst out laughing when I read your post re Mollie, Ellie. She sounds such a cutie!

Here things same as same as really.

We're going to a Thomas the Tank Engine day with some friends (and their children) this weekend, and a long planned camping trip that evening. The closer we get to the weekend, the more I panic though... We're going to freeze to death, aren't we?!

Ooo I love Thomas the Tank Engine I wish I Molly could go on something like that

Diet not going so well this week. There has been cake in the office winking at me.

Hi there! Keep strong Ellie ... although I can hardly talk as I did actually succumb to a biscuit yesterday. It was a diet one though (only 49 calories) but it still made me feel guilty as I'd been soooo good . Have got to start exercising now though, which is going to be the toughest bit of all tbh. I'm so knackered by the time I get in from work the last thing I feel like doing is exercise !

Sal - that sounds like fun ... the Thomas the Tank Engine bit that is, not the camping bit . Just take your thermals and I'm sure you'll be fine

I don't think I'm ready for men you know. Has boosted my confidence but I don't think I want anymore than that. I'd know if I did wouldn't I? God will I ever actually want to?! It's nice, flattering but I don't really feel like I want to even see him. If I actually liked him I would want to wouldn't I? My life is actually quite full already and I need time to find me more, my confidence is slowly returning and the last thing I feel I need right now is someone needing/wanting me. Plus I've been hurt so much and I'm still having some days where I miss K so much, not often at all now but still. Also I don't think I fancy him at all.

It has made me realise I'm worth it though, and that I must appeal to men.

I feel weird today, I think it must be a bit of a bad day, I woke up and for a split second wondered where K was. I'm quite enjoying my life, it's busy, I see friends etc, I miss male company but I don't think the new one fits.

Scorps - you'll always be the best judge love so go with what you're telling youself. It's so nice that your confidence has been given a boost but, like you say, it's still early days yet and until you feel 100% sure about who you are, how you feel, what you're looking for, etc then it's unwise to launch youself into something new.

Remember you're always worth it .... sorry, sounds too much like the shampoo ad doesn't it , but it was meant sincerely

Thanks soph

I have really hurt my back - I can hardly move. What am I gonna do?!

How is your back this morning scorps?

Oh Scorps, you poor thing. I really know how you feel as I suffer from a bad back all the time and it's not pleasant. Just make sure that you bend, move & sit properly. Straight back, don't cross your legs & whenever you can rest it ... which I know isn't easy when you've got kids

I was off work yesterday with 2 poorly kids & I was poorly myself - not nice. All I wanted to do was shut them in a cupboard so I could curl up and die!!!! Before you call Social Services, I didn't obviously still not 100% today but a little better

How's everyone else?

Oh poor you soph, that sounds rubbish. Is horrid when you are ill and the kids are, there's no space for resting yourself then. Last time I was off with Molly poorly I found myself thinking longingly of work as it would've been easier than looking after her!

She's SO clingy at the moment - I can't even go to the toilet without her bellowing for me in increasingly anxious tones. Not sure what it's about but I guess she'll come through it in her own time. Is annoying DH though cos it's all Mummmmmmeeee at the moment and no Daddy, poor man. (Personally, I think he should appreciate the rest though!)

Hi all!

Clingy boy here too, I've contemplated changing my name so that the moans/whinges of 'want mummeeee, see mummeeeee don't apply to me any more!

We've been unwell too, G not sleeping very well. Last night was the worst, awake and screaming to go downstairs to play. Completely overtired. Wouldn't be pacified, in fact was worse while either of us were with him so ended up having to just leave him in his cot and go in form time to time. I'm so tired this morning my left eye keeps twitching! I'm just waiting for him to fall asleep now and then I'm going for a nap.

He'd better get himself sorted out for the weekend, I don't know how I'll cope with a day out on my own with him on no sleep.

Which reminds me... Who(if anyone) is coming to have lunch on Saturday? Just so I know how big a table to ask for...

Hey Ellie and Knitter Sorry to hear about your clingy children. I was lucky with DS1 as he wasn't clingy at all. Don't know whether Sam's going to be, but I don't think so. This morning he literally launched himself into the nursery. When his carer took him he threw his arms round her neck and gave her the most enormous hug you've ever seen, along with his cheshire cat grin
