Oh you do right @paintfairy we did disposable to start with, although later got to borrow some newborn ones from a friend. She bought newborn ones because she has tiny babies (5lb) so they lasted for months! Whereas I'd have been gutted to buy a full set and use them for 8 weeks 😂 also you have to do SO MANY nappy changes to start with, much easier to wait until they're not shitting every 5 minutes.

We use a mixture of Bambino Mio and Blueberry Simplex through the day. They definitely do add some bulk to the bum! 😂 but baby clothes are mostly so stretchy I haven't really had problems with it. And I'm used to it! We probably do move up a clothes size slightly faster than we would in disposables, but I don't think there's too much in it. PTSD is quite slim so I notice the difference when we use disposables and his pants start to fall down 😂😂😂

Would definitely recommend keeping an eye on places like Aldi if you want to get a few more. That's where I got my Bambino Mio ones and they were half price so definitely worth it. I think I have about 20 day nappies and 5 for nights and that lets us wash every other day and have a few spare for back up. I think you could do it on 15 day nappies but it would be a bit tight, no room for surprise poos! On the other hand, you could always do a combi thing where you do disposables for part of the day (like if they poo at a certain time of day?) and then cloth the rest of the time.

I always feel like every little helps so no point in martyring yourself over it.

DKDK123 · 06/05/2022 13:02

@paintfairy it does sound stressful not having everything done but try let DH deal with all the stress. As long as baby has somewhere to sleep and feed it won't care what state the house is in (tho I know you will). Because DS surprised us being a whole month early we didn't even have a kitchen to come home to, DH had ripped the entire kitchen out and everything was in my livingroom so we came home to an utter bomb site no cooking, fridge or washing facilities for the first while till it was all put back into place, but baby was none the wiser and slowly it all came together again.

Glad to hear the scan went well @BellatrixK. Hope it makes it all feel more real now, there's an actual baby in there that you're carrying 🥰

Sorry @Soph0105 I had to laugh at the cow bellowing keeping you awake, it's like the last thing you need 🤣 Hope DS takes to his first formula 🤞

DS is going down to my mums on Sunday night so Sunday day will be our last day as a family of 3 and I'm trying to think of something nice we can do with him that might not be so easy to do initially once baby arrives any ideas? (Although it can't involve a lot of walking so that rules out a lot too 🤔) I had thought swimming but I no longer fit into my costume 😂 Theres nothing really on at our local cinema that i think would take his fancy. Trying to keep the soft plays for when I've got them both on my own so he can run about burning off energy while I can still watch him safely with baby. My mind has drawn a complete blank but just want to do something nice with him before the chaos begins 🤔

larrythelizard · 06/05/2022 13:22

@DKDK123 DS is going to find it hard sharing his grandparents too - his cousins are not local so only around sporadically and I think Grandpa is sometimes his fab routine person in the world. Re your day out, what about a farm park or something that DH can do all the running around at and you can sit and watch?

Hope you're enjoying your last day as a 3-some @bez91!

That does sound stressful @paintfairy I'd be doing my nut. You've still got 6 weeks or so, is it time for a Serious Talk with DH and to prioritise stuff?

All the baby milks are 'nutritionally equivalent' @Soph0105 so I'm sure PTSD will be fine. Once he's for over it not being breast milk that is!

I'd forgotten what a busy airport was like, so many people with no spatial awareness! And the seats are uncomfy, I assume to try and persuade you to pay for the lounge where it's nicer!

Have thrown up again but then felt like eating. God knows what's wrong with me but plan to get on the plane unless I'm sick again before boarding time!

Hey ladies, I also nap the afternoons if I can, lol
hospital with ds this morning, only one parent, only if needed still here, so patient alone if possible, right, fantastic appointment with a great doctor, it looks like it’s migraines and due to soldier on that’s why he gets so ill, also managed to get melatonin prescribed, so we might sleep yet, doctor theory is the lack of proper sleep causing the migraines, he also had a little moan on how most doctors refused melatonin when it cannot be harmful and can improve quality of life so much, also keeping him under his care so all in all, a good appointment.
ds birthday today! So we have a weekend of activities and cake

Franklydear · 06/05/2022 19:48

Dla appeal already started, first we have to call to disagree, they tried to argue, but thanks to the support association, we know not to and just to ask for the reasons in written so we can officially challenge, many get overturn at this point, or if they keep the decision, we’ll appeal, luckily I have good support and don’t need to do this alone

Lexber · 06/05/2022 20:22

@Franklydear my daughter has been on melatonin for a couple of years now (mainly school nights) and it's a good send even she herself now asks for it in holidays after a few bad nights.

Sickness bugs in the house, eldest had it Wednesday and Ive been poorly all day. Thank god OH is off until Tuesday because I have no idea how I'd have coped with 3 week old babies today alone! Slept on/off all day or been on toilet (with a bucket) so feel awful - managed a few mouthfuls of water, lucozade and 4 plain biscuits all day 🤟🏼 not been actually sick for a few hours now but still toilet bound I think - I aren't jinx it lol
Had to cancel all weekend plans just in case including a photo shoot for twins today, take away with friends tonight and bbq tomorrow with my parents as OH birthday Monday - I feel incredibly guilty being in bed all day and possibly ruining his birthday plans. I'm hoping it's just 24hrs like eldest and we can do stuff over weekend when I feel more human, and more so that he doesn't catch it!!

Good luck tomorrow @bez91 so excited for you!!
Good luck next week @DKDK123 that's also so exciting little Emily was determined to wait for you!

That's great news @BellatrixK and lovely picture too!

I do read and go to reply most nights (about 4.30/5am feed) but then Elsie has other ideas and I forget to post 🤣

Minster2012 · 07/05/2022 04:30

@bez91 it's today now!! You get Minster ramblings at early morning feeds! 💕alll the luck I'm so excited for team yellow! I'm sure DD will adjust ok

@BellatrixK I'm literally crying for you my darling. I did note your scan down but was avoiding SM this morning but I'm so happy for you guys! 🎉💕🥳does it feel real now?

@Lexber oh good I hope it passes (pun intended) quickly, and pleased OH is able to sort things, don't stress about the birthday, I'm sure he'd want you better more. 😊

@paintfairy yeah i agree with the others, you need to let/get DH to sort things & you relax. Maybe remind him that my baby decided to arrive over 3 weeks early? So might NOT be 6 weeks! Ps how's the wafting going? Good luck with the cloth bum!

@DKDK123 errrrm I'd go to soft play tbh, do kids ever have tire of having too much soft play? You don't have to save it up! X has been ok adjusting & getting involved, he's done the most adorable bedtime reading of that's not my books & he's given her a bottle I'm sure your DS will be amazing

@larrythelizard god have an amazing time in France & hope you feel better

That reminds me @Vil10 have a brilliant holiday 😊☀️

@Soph0105 ahhhhhhh I mean you can still complain but my nighttime schedule weds night was FULLY awake, cluster feeding/snacking, staring & crying when tried to be put down from 1-6am with X then waking at 7, last night was same from 11-3.30am so yeahhhhhhh you can complain a bit but not much! I was a crying mess this morning

So I'm now a milking crying not sleeping machine. Having to boob feed, then express then bottle feed the express each time which is at least 2/3 hourly. Which all takes about an hour. It's exhausting & im not getting loads of milk despite them saying my supply looks great. Little miss wants to party all night & sleep all day which I do not!!

Anyway, we did make it out today, to the pub for lunch. It took about 4 hours to get "out" around feeding. I put a bra on & found clothes that fit! Yippee!

Weighing again this morning for her. I think they are going to say she needs formula top up too. 😬

bez91 · 07/05/2022 06:29

Yessss @BellatrixK fantastic news, hope that's eased the anxiety (at least for a few days, I know it's tough!) hopefully they got you in for another scan so you can see baby again 🥰

@paintfairy it will all be ok, don't worry about things not being done. Things will eventually get done and if that's not before baby it really doesn't matter, they won't care as long as they have a mum that's sane and that's the main thing because I know it can drive you mad.

@DKDK123 we did Pizza Hut last night (DDs choice) as our last thing together as a 3 and bought her a little toy from the shop next door. Soft play still seems a good shout so you can put your feet up and he have fun!

@larrythelizard hope your stomach played ball for the flight you poor thing!

@Lexber absolutely not ideal having that around with newborns and 2 at that! Hope it's gone for today and you can enjoy DHs birthday together. Is Elsie the troublesome twin? Must be a girl thing 😆

@Minster2012 you're doing a great job, keep going. She'll soon adjust to a better pattern of night and day but those early days are a killer for sure!

Thanks for the well wishes ladies. DD was a nightmare to get to sleep last night but actually didn't wake up through the night so after we decided to go to bed at 9pm to make up for lost sleep this week we all feel good so ready to tackle the day 💪🏼 although I think I've woken up with thrush, not ideal for giving birth 🔥 😂 I go in at 1pm 😬

Franklydear · 07/05/2022 07:10

@Lexber thats what we’re hoping for, I’ve been asking for it for years, finally found a doctor to prescribe it, but it took the lack of sleep making him ill, hope you feel better soon, and can celebrate, although I have to tell you off, your post doesn’t include babies pictures
@bez91 glued to the screen today, get dh to put a notice in until you feel up to it
@paintfairy i agree that you might not have that much time, and remind dh that it’s worth doing it right the first time, don’t give more work to that guy, at least until he sorted that out
@Minster2012 my baby, how does it feel saying....🥰 and of course X is a master older brother, wait till he teaches her to put her fingers in the socket, wow, out and about in proper clothes, don’t worry about the 24 h feeding schedule, it won’t be for long, and right now that’s your only job, off to tell X .... also I have a good supply of baby pics here for the time being
@larrythelizard @Vil10 have a lovely time away, It does so much good for mental health
@BellatrixK its real, you have evidence, happy thoughts only from now

nothing much to report my end, just balancing my many plates at the moment but feeling ok about it

larrythelizard · 07/05/2022 07:24

Fantastic scan yesterday @BellatrixK, are you going to tell people now?

Good luck today @bez91 - excited for you! Hopefully this is the last bought of hormonal thrush, it's kind of fitting you have it again though - I'm sure that was the first pregnancy symptom for you?!

Warrior mummy on the case @Franklydear

Sounds like you're doing fab @Minster2012 - a formula top up isn't the worst thing in the world, remember fed is best (just look at X!)

Feeling ok but weird this morning, suspect it's eating and drinking little for the last few days. Fecking vomit! Im staying in a hotel up the road from my sister so need to get up and in the shower, am just sipping on the lucozade I bought yesterday!

Niece is still smaller at 4 weeks than DS was at birth but is lovely and let me have cuddles for ages, managed to get her off to sleep, haven't lost my touch! My sister is very generous with letting everyone have a hold (my parents are here too) which is lovely, i remember just wanting people to give DS back!!

Vil10 · 07/05/2022 07:53

Late check in girls sorry!! We're enjoying a lovely break in Greece this week, however when we arrived yesterday it was cloudy and raining on and off all day so we were both miserable😂 woke up this morning though to lovely sunny skies! It isn't boiling but it is only 10am and practically still spring here, just grateful for a week away really!!

@BellatrixK great scan! So glad everything went well! Don't worry they couldn't get the measurement for my awkward baby either so they did a blood test at about 14 weeks I think it was, that only tests for downs so it is a long wait until your 20 week scan until they can check for signs of the other 2, but I'm sure everything will be fine❤️

@larrythelizard where are you for your break away? Sorry you're feeling a bit shitty, hopefully you start to pick up!

@bez91 ahhhh today is the day!!! So excited for you girl, good luck!! Cannot wait for the update💛💛

@Minster2012 you're doing an amazing job!! Keep going💗

Minster2012 · 07/05/2022 07:55

@larrythelizard that sounds lovely! I'm obviously weird as I have no issues giving cuddles to ppl. Got 2 friends coming round today & their kids 😳😬
I know fed is best, & whatever is best for us both. we'll see

@bez91 boom you got this! And that's not bad for DD!! Come on 1pm!

@Franklydear we know you'll get everything sorted supermum

Sooo DH said this morning at 7am "do I not get a lie in this morning, I've not had one all week"
Errr your daughter is 1 week old, I didn't realise that when you took X at 7 after I did feeding 6-7am then I slept to 9am...that THAT was actually a lie in for me...not to make up for being up for 4/5 hours that night.

Oh how I laughed as I murdered him 😂

Soph0105 · 07/05/2022 08:24

Proper catch up later but today's the day @bez91 eeeeeep! Good luck good luck!

DKDK123 · 07/05/2022 09:51

@Franklydear hope the melatonin works with both the sleep and with reducing the migraines 🤞

@Lexber hope the bug passes soon. How are your babies 3 weeks old already it feels like only yesterday you had them! Hope you guys are settling into a nice routine where you at least manage some sleep (when Elsie isn't being a wee monkey)

@Minster2012 sounds like X is settling into his big brother role nicely, that's so sweet reading her stories ❤️ A milking, crying, not sleeping machine definitely sums up the early days of motherhood. Just remember to be kind to yourself and don't expect too much the first few weeks, turn away visitors if you have to, don't leave the house for days just lounge in your PJs as someone else said your only job right now is to feed and care for baby, DH can do everything else until you and Bronte find your rhythm. Plus it's around this time the hormones drop and the baby blues kick in for a few days so that won't be helping with you feeling like a crying mess right now, it's not time to be superwoman it's just time to survive one hour at a time. As for DHs comment I'm surprised he isn't buried under the patio right now! Tell him suck it up buttercup you're a parent to a newborn now a lie in is definitely a thing of the past for the foreseeable future!

@bez91 so excited for you today, keeping everything crossed that it's not a long processes and you've got baby in your arms by the time the weekends out 🤞🤞🤞

@larrythelizard enjoy all the baby niece cuddles 🥰 hope the sickness eases so you can enjoy your trip.

@Vil10 glad to hear the sun came out, enjoy every min of your babymoon!

DS was up all night loaded with the cold and feeling sorry for himself. Of course all he wants when ill is his mum so I'm trying to comfort him while desperately trying not to catch his cold as sneezing or coughing after a section is agony, its the last thing I need right now 🙈. We've sorted our day out tomorrow, my Mum said the Highland Games are on down her way tomorrow so that's worked out perfectly we'll take him to that. Outdoors so less chance of us catching covid right before our covid swabs on Monday, that's my one fear now after getting this far and being told I can be awake and DH can be there at the delivery, that he ends up catching covid at the last hurdle and isn't allowed to be there!

Lexber · 07/05/2022 10:14

We have figured out @bez91 that Theo will be the chilled one and Elsie is most definitely the fusspot! Little madam is going to be a character and drama queen... and Theo seems to be her calm. If she is fussy and I put her next to him she calms!
I think it's a girl thing and the fact she is the youngest of 4... 🤣🤣
Ooh just remembered you are team yellow!!
I think boy, to balance us out and a friend for Theo! We will have to meet for a coffee when you are on your feet with the babies and we are both in Mat leave!

It's such hard work @Franklydear to get listened to at times, we are so lucky that my DDs paediatrician is wonderful and helpful, even offered me meds for her ADHD but I refused as we are coping well and I would like a back up plan in case hormones cause more issues or we need them later on.
I apologise lol I will attach one for you to this message - 3 weeks 2 days old today! Already!! The pic if both together was this morning about 8am before we came downstairs ❤️

@Minster2012 you are doing amazing, the first few days/weeks are so difficult especially if bf and or expressing. I was doing both in hospital every 3 hours but once home I just couldn't maintain it with 2 other kids and general life. Plus both were on set amounts and it became too much.
Cry if you need to cry, I did/do! Don't forget hormones are all over the place with lack of sleep and massive changes xxx
Haha to the lie in, I just remind OH I do night feeds as he sleeps through with TWINS, soon shuts him up... I really don't think they get it sometimes 🙄

Enjoy Greece @Vil10
Ooh enjoy the cuddles @larrythelizard hope the sickness eases off for you

@DKDK123 I know right - 3 weeks 2 days already!! I daren't say it out loud but we have a really good routine (I said from the beginning we needed one as there is 2..) 3 hrly feeds then at night we do a 12.30/1am feed then they wake about 4.30am then sleep until about 8am so I can't complain at all. It does take about an hour to change,feed and wind both and sometimes they both go back down a dream but Elsie has a snuffle so is a bit blocked up so fussy. White noise has helped lol - there's some great Spotify ones and I set a timer for 45 min so it switches off when we've all dropped to sleep 🤣

BellatrixK · 07/05/2022 10:34

@bez91 I’m so excited for you! Not ideal with thrush, but I’m sure it won’t matter… The day is finally here! Today you’ll meet your little one. I think I understand team yellow now as well, it is more exciting to find out on the day (despite knowing that I’m far too curious for it!).

@Vil10 that’s exactly what I’ll have too. The sonographer was rubbish as well- didn’t really give me a chance to walk/jump around. It really stressed me out at first and we were actually considering the NIPT, but I’d rather spend that money on the house and baby things. I think I’m okay with it now. You’ve reassured me a lot that you had the same- I’ve not heard of anyone else who couldn’t get measurements. So glad that the sun is out for you… well deserved!

@Minster2012 thank you lovely lady! We firmly believe that your helping hand at the beginning has a lot to do with things going so well. I’m loving hearing about how well X is doing- adorable with him reading to her ❤️. And you sound like you’re absolutely bossing everything… clothes and a bra achieved. The feeding sounds intense, but it will settle as you get into a routine. Without DH I’m sure, as he definitely has been buried under the patio by now surely?

@Lexber oh no! A sickness bug is the last thing you need. Definitely hibernate in the house as long as you need. I love that Elsie is becoming the cheeky twin! Amazing to see different personalities so young. The photos are adorable.

@Franklydear brilliant news on DS’s appeal. And even better on a birthday weekend. Cake is the best plan!

@larrythelizard ohhh! So cute on the niece cuddles! Can’t believe that she’s so tiny still. It’s lovely to have your family reunited like that.

@DKDK123 a highland show sounds awesome. DS will definitely run off energy there. And even better if you feel more secure about avoiding Covid.

@paintfairy it’s so difficult renovating houses at the best of times, but with all the demand at the moment the waiting is unbelievable. And so frustrating. Just try to let DH sort what he will/can and try to leave whatever can be left. We’re in a similar position with the old decking rotting away, a bedroom half done, lots of dangerous loose flags in the garden etc. We’re trying to work out what’s immediate and hoping that some can just be ignored.

BellatrixK · 07/05/2022 10:34

Oh- my last bit didn’t post!

Ladies, thank you for all your kind words. I’m loving life! We told lots of friends and my dad yesterday and DH’s family last night (his parents knew) and everyone is unbelievably excited. My close family and 2 best friends knew already, but it’s nice now I’ve told them to be excited! We’re telling grandparents today - mine are taking us out for a meal, so that’ll be cute. Telling my brother and his family tomorrow then DH’s friends are having a party next week, so we’ll steal the thunder there and tell everyone! So lovely being able to tell people and not end with ‘Please don’t be excited yet’.

Vil10 · 07/05/2022 10:41

@Minster2012 I would've definitely murdered him too!! Men!!

@DKDK123 Thankyou lovely! Sounds like you have a lovely day planned! Deffo a good idea on the staging outdoors to try and avoid covid before your test!! The last hurdle now!!

@Lexber Thankyou!! Your babies are just beautiful!!

@BellatrixK ohh that's so annoying that she didn't preserve!! The one I had was great, she tried 3 separate times, sent me off for a walk, running upstairs, jumping Jacks, even tried in between other appointments but baby just wasn't having any of it!! I think on this bus for some reason it doesn't seem common but my sonographer told me it happens with 50% of the women she sees! And my friend who's a mid wife also said it's the most common thing they have day to day, so definitely don't worry!! There's other markers they'll have checked/seen and even though the quad test isn't as accurate, there has to be some accuracy to it right??

Soph0105 · 07/05/2022 10:56

Oh @Lexber that's all you need! Hope it passes quickly... lol but the twins are soooooo precious and snuggly, what gorgeous photos ❤️❤️❤️

Oh @Minster2012 I have an entitled, sleep deprived H too who is very lucky to still be alive 😂😂😂 deep breaths! Yes to the pub lunch and bra wearing, you are winning!

Enjoy your Highland games @DKDK123 sounds like an excellent plan! We went to some games while on holiday to Uist once and it was such a fab day out!

Ahhhh enjoy @BellatrixK it's so nice to finally be able to break the news!

Enjoy your holiday @Vil10 , not jealous at all...

I'm excited today because I have my new (to me) car! It's a very unsexy Fiat Tipo but it has a very fancy screen with sat nav and my pram doesn't fill the entire boot so I can actually put other shit in there too! What luxury!

Franklydear · 07/05/2022 11:49

@Lexber thank you for the pics, it really makes me really happy to see all your babies, tiny ting of envy but mostly happy, on the meds I am with you only if needed, but I think it’ll make a big difference for him/us to sleep more, day 1 asleep in less than 1/2 h in bed, success, he did get up at 5 but convinced him to stay in bed 1 more hour
@Minster2012 if you need an alibi, you’ve been down here all morning😂 seriously, is he still breathing?
@BellatrixK well, it’s only step 1 of appeal, long battle ahead yet, but then what isn’t? We have tiramisu, a merengue roulade, cupcakes and dh is considering an actual cake with a candle but ds is not fussed. Sonographers are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’ll get, I still remember one who didn’t give any pictures and hardly let me look at the monitor cos he didn’t agree with the midwife that a 30 week scan was needed and she thought I only wanted to look at the baby
took ds to his orchestra practice and sat in the coffe room? to do some knitting, lots of people approach to see what I was doing and say how nice

Lexber · 07/05/2022 14:21

@Franklydear a tip for you to get it in the system quicker once he is used to them (dr suggested it to us, she is on 2/3 tablets) crush them between 2 spoons and add something that tastes nice to them to take - apologies if I'm giving advice you already know!
It's amazing the difference in them once they sleep better, also make sure the new medication is stated when you redo DLA or update them of the changes as that increases his needs imo as he is now deemed medicated... xx

Franklydear · 07/05/2022 15:56

@Lexber noted, I am actually challenging dla award so need to include that now, and thanks for the tips no apologies needed, we all need to help each other, he is taking it with cranberry juice without complaint, it's only the one tablet for now

bez91 · 07/05/2022 16:17

@larrythelizard yes my first pregnancy symptom was thrush too 😂 so exciting meeting your niece, enjoy those cuddles

Enjoy your last holiday as a couple @Vil10 it looks lovely 😍

@Minster2012 you and your lie ins 🙄 honestly men. They are a bit dense aren't they. DH this morning thought he was being helpful ironing DDs dance leggings for her class today, he burnt the leggings, burnt the ironing board and the iron is also ruined

They are so bloody gorgeous @Lexber 😍

Nothing much happening here. Had the propess pessary in at 4pm after much deliberation, baby's heart rate was wild for a couple of hours (they must be excited) so needed to agree everything was ok for the induction, then they thought my waters may be leaking but all looks ok which basically. I'm apparently already 1cm so another hour of monitoring and see what's what

larrythelizard · 07/05/2022 16:50

@Lexber sounds like your new crew are doing really well! Love that you can see their different personalities already!

It can only get better from here on in @Vil10 - hopefully it's beautiful weather for the rest of the week. I'm in France to see my sister.

Gosh you deserve a medal for not murdering him for sure @Minster2012!!

Sounds a lovely day out @DKDK123 - can you get DS to bathe in antibac?!

A new car is a new car @Soph0105!

Had a lovely day with my sister, am laughing away internally at all their stupid FTM stuff but have not said a word to her as it's quite frankly none of my business! Still feel a bit sick, didn't eat lunch which really upset my dad 🤣 there's no chance I'm eating what's planned for dinner either, am angling for heading back to my hotel earlier rather than later which will also not be popular

OP posts:
paintfairy · 07/05/2022 19:17

@Soph0105 yeah agree disposable is likely better until they establish a pooing routine. 🤣 And I would be annoyed if I bought tiny cloth nappies for just a few weeks, it does seem pointless. I'm also not opposed to mixing them up anyway- whatever works. I think it is daft to set yourself up to be so rigid with things and then just get stressed over it. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter- I'm not an eco warrior. 🤭
@DKDK123 DH doesn't deal with everything, that's the issue. 🙄 And omg the kitchen thing! Yes I can imagine that was definitely not great at all. God I'd have a breakdown. But since the wardrobes look to have cost me far more than they were meant to, I think we might have to just put a hold on the hall anyway. And I accept it. You can't live with no kitchen though. 🙈
@Minster2012 I have indeed pointed out that your baby came 3 weeks early, but that just made him more stressed. 🤣 As for the hormonal mess- god, doesn't sound fun at all. But very normal. Hopefully you'll feel better soon? I'm glad you got out to the pub. It'll just be a whirlwind for a bit but don't stress about it! You can do it! We are here for whinging. As for DH and his lie in- sounds like something mine would come out with. Just before I drop kicked him out the window! 🙄🤣
@Vil10 enjoy your holiday!
@larrythelizard I'm glad you are feeling a little better. And that you had a good day! God, what are they eating?
@Lexber omg they are gorgeous. They do say boys are more laid back. I'll likely end up wishing I had one! Sounds like things are going pretty well though.
@bez91 I was hoping for an exciting update. 🤭 But I'm impatient. I hope it goes well for you. 🤞

I had a nice day. Met a friend for lunch and left dh to do house stuff. Tomorrow we are both on house stuff. Was good to get out as I don't often do stuff like that. On my way home though, some dick in a van was insistent on being a mm from my bumper and was being a twat. Then at lights proceeded to tell me that he had my reg and would find out where I lived and was going to come round and fuck me up. And he's going to stab me. 20 year old chav showing off to his girlfriend who was with him I expect. I told him to get on with it. But obviously I'm hoping he won't. 😳 Could do without that. But wtf is wrong with people? 🤷‍♀️
