argh, i wrote this ages ago but didn't post!

didn't they used to prescribe guiness for ladies in your situ Dizz? and you know what, your aunt isn't someone you should be worrying about. if she makes any more sarcy comments on your wall, just delete them

i know re cutting out doesn't have to be permanent but you know what, he won't even notice any difference for at least 6mths. he's so caught up in his own world. he'll only notice that i've cut him out if/when he wants something from me. but, i am no longer wasting time/energy even thinking about it

oops we had the same night! including the firealarm bit! hmm, alhtough i see we were missing the 'sleep for 45mins from 6.45' bit. hmm and the, 'let me sleep til 9' bit

i don't blame P for wanting to poo in private Not sure if i told you what happened the other night. i was changing DS's nappy and said 'don't wee wee wee on me' (not something i've said before), he grinned and wee'ed on cue (all over me)! still got my head firmly stuck in the ground re potty training though!

MrsMiamla · 13/05/2010 10:30

hope your hair dresser is quiet, don't forget to take your book

dizzydixies · 13/05/2010 12:08

So I chose wee local salon attached to place I get beauty/wax done etc. Wobbly legs brought me here on time thinking I'd be fine in one of the 3 chairs SO how did I not know there are laird further down with teams of people

I have a stupid amount of hair so it's taken ages to do badly needed colour & I forgot to tell her T zone only so now sitting here panicking how much it will cost. A full set of highlights & cut the day before payday was never a good idea was it???? Am fanny

dizzydixies · 13/05/2010 12:09

Lairs not laird, two more levels to be exact!

RedLentil · 13/05/2010 12:19

at sending the clothes back Dizzy. And pah to all meddling family members. Tis shocking to treat people so badly.

Dizzy, I came within a whisker of a transfusion, but they changed their minds. The lack of iron has a massive effect on mood, energy and everything else. I used spatone, tablets and rest whenever I could and it still took about 6 weeks to feel properly able to deal with the world. Please, please try to take a bit of time to recover.

oopsandbabycoconut · 13/05/2010 12:54

Dizzy - I was wondering how many Lairds your town had . Your Aunt really has no idea does she! Well done to those who managed to get their comments in.

MrsMiamla · 13/05/2010 13:27

dizz, you're not a fanny, you're a beautiful girl with slightly crazy tendencies. but we love you all for it

dizzydixies · 13/05/2010 14:30

I beg to differ regards not being a fanny as I went to hairdressers sans bank card AND it fecking cost £90 [meep] I also managed to phone Dh and waken him up accusing him of swiping the bank card from my wallet (he'd borrowed it the other night at MY insistance) and came home to find it safe and sound in my coat pocket where I had put it yesterday, much grovellign with cup of tea done and once again more points to add the the 'dizzy is a fanny' blunder chart

have just spoken to my Dad who has let slip that he knows about the argument between myself and my aunts - my dad and my aunts aren't a good mix at the best of time but I think I've managed to diffuse the situation thank feck for all my on the job training and negotiation skills

Sazz - hope your friend is going ok

QofD hope you're feeling a touch better today

Red - thank you for that, I think we must have had similar circumstances. Will take onboard your advice as DH now off till Mon before he heads off on a course for 4 days - he's trying to get the two shifts at the end of that off though and I have A here for 3 whilst he's away - he really isn't letting me overdo anything and I got a bit of a fright at hairdressers today with wobbly legs and pain in stomach (random but v sore) so consider myself told

oopsandbabycoconut · 13/05/2010 14:41

Dizzy sweetie - I don't want to teach you to suck eggs or anything but are you taking your iron tabs with OJ in the mornings?? It aids absorption also tea prevents them from working effectively so less tea more OJ for you!

Back in a bit surprise visitors

dizzydixies · 13/05/2010 14:44

I don't drink tea or coffee but duely noted thank you

DH up now so I think we'll nip to boots for spatone

LadyGardenia · 13/05/2010 14:45

OK after the bank card story, now I am going to beg to differ: dizzy you are a fanny .

However, you are a fanny with swishy new hair, which is the main thing.

dizzydixies · 13/05/2010 14:48

ah you with your seductive words

LadyGardenia · 13/05/2010 14:57

I know I do have the knack, don't I? Does fanny in Scotland mean ladygardenia area? I think it means that here .

cyteen · 13/05/2010 15:12

To quote Homer Simpson, there's the dirty girl(s) I married!

dizzy I read your post on the other thread and am at a loss, because I want to find the thing to say that means none of that ever happened, and of course such a thing doesn't exist Your boys have beautiful names. I like the image of them holding hands together They will always be part of your family.

Now sit down with some OJ and rest, rest, rest. It's not just your body that needs to heal xxx

Everyone else: hi

Did my uni presentation this morning, it seemed to go okay Fielded my questions fairly well as well, and even got a few small laughs out of people, so I am well pleased. Curry and beers for DP and I tonight. In fact I may have started on the beers already

LadyGardenia · 13/05/2010 15:15

Oh cyteen well done! Oh I am sorry I meant to send you good luck on FB this morning and I totally forgot. Glad you were pleased with it and got some laughs - enjoy your beers and curry!

oopsandbabycoconut · 13/05/2010 15:16

I was wondering when someone would comment on Dizzy's fanny I was more that Jack had a Dizzy fanny chart .

oopsandbabycoconut · 13/05/2010 15:17

Cyteen - I should really refersh before posting - pleased it all went well and beers are being enjoyed

LadyGardenia · 13/05/2010 15:23

Shit everyone else is being constructive about iron and stuff and cyteen and I are being dirty down the back of the class.

Feck.

oopsandbabycoconut · 13/05/2010 15:27

VG - I was only being serious because I ended up having some nasty iron infusions post m/c and would rather spare Dizzy the hell of a day in hosptial whilst the pour gross brown stuff into her. I was thinking the silly stuff honest I'm just not as quick with the words as you

LadyGardenia · 13/05/2010 15:30

LOL oops.

I have not had experience with the blood loss, iron levels, etc, so feel cannot contribute much other than general supportive vibes - however sometimes might be better for me to keep mouth shut anyway!!

RedLentil · 13/05/2010 15:59

You've given us visions of swishy-haired fannies, LG. That's quite an impressive contribution in its own right.

Delighted it went well, Cyteen.

I need to go and have a tea party ...

dizzydixies · 13/05/2010 17:28

VG, twas nice to have some company down the back of the class for a change and Oops - am going to as him if he DOES keep a diary

more iron tabs/santone and OJ bought - quick stroll round St Andrews (DH insisting I wasn't allowed far) and I even bought him a Greggs Sausage Roll to lower the tone completely - sorry Poppy

home and on couch now where apparently I have to remain for rest of evening (there had BETTER not be some sci fi crap on)

MrsMiamla · 13/05/2010 17:34

dizz, well hide the remote control now (ensuring its on a channel you want to watch) and then it won't be possible to put sci-fi on

is there anymore room in the back row?

dizzydixies · 13/05/2010 17:42

only if you can swish with the best of us how did you get on with the MW?

oopsandbabycoconut · 13/05/2010 17:43

I'll just sit up front with the other nerds . There are other nerds aren't there??
