ooh lovely geek on jane and nipper Smile

geek what is your email? emailed diva and no reply..wonder if she's still away?

carrielou2007 · 09/08/2010 21:49

Evening, my firemen were very nice Grin three of them in my house plus a shiny red engine parked outside my house for my neighbours to wonder at Grin

Exciting Geek new buggy!!

I took bee+ to fatty class tonight as it was raining and denim cam got a bit wet earlier. It is just so light and nippy, also have black hood and footmuff that came friday, think cam may go soon when I'm back at work

lol at your cheeky daughter Lillypie!! Hope you had a nice chilled out afternoon.

nicolamumof3 · 10/08/2010 08:29

Morning all...pouring down this morning! not had rain like this for month..i love it!!

basl · 10/08/2010 08:48

here in Scotland Nicola and yes i agree it's so refreshing. Grin

Sounds like you had a great day yesterday Smile.

Does anyone have a Very, additions or anything like that % off discount code. I have been looking at new phones and the ones i like are best on contract however if i were to pay up on one of these it works out a lot cheaper then i can have my own sim [if that's what you call them????]

It's getting closer to school and i am getting so nervous for Olivia but she seems fine. Trying to think if i like long grey socks or the white? I like the pretty white but i also like the grey.

The appointment went very well yesterday apart from Daniel not sleeping and trying his best to wreck my time with the lady lol. She is going to come back next week and my mum will be back then so get peace to talk.
She reckons i have come on a long way. Just my dh is having another one of his moody not talking episodes. Sure he suffers PMT he honestly is such hard work. Rather exhausting trying to cajole someone along all the time. Anyway i am pleased with myself and thats all that matters Just now anyway.

Geek your plan sounds good. Grin Jane then nipper

lillypie · 10/08/2010 09:04

Hi all heavy rain on the way here.I wouldn't mind if I didn't need to go out

Basl I am so pleased that your appointment went well yesterday Grin yay you xx

Well it's less than two weeks until my parents arrive from Australia and last night I booked a cottage near Tintagel for a week in Sept so we can all go away together.Hoping for a week in Yorkshire too.

Don't think I will be buying anymore prams Sad the volo is only being used once a week as an emergency buggy by my childminder (dd loves her mini micro scooter)and the three wheelewr once a week for bumping around the carboot sale.Still have a doubble nipper for when I have Saiya (Issy likes to sit next to her)but buying more would real;ly be a waste of money now!

I think I am going to start a bell tent fund instead Grin

basl · 10/08/2010 09:13

Lillypie i don't think i will be getting any new prams either. So i will be Sad with you.
I was just thinking this morning that i can't remember when i last used any of the prams i have. I am thinking about the volo instead of the bjcm for hols as it is still wee bit heavy but daniel will not sit in it for anylength of time.

Ah well never mind just get into buying clothes eh Grin The nice shrink type lady said my use of internet sounds ott. She said it can be very damaging to ones Real life Shock and she also pointed out causes so much stress to so many people she sees. Time running away from them and spending far too much time chatting and not getting on with stuff. She asked if i could start to limit my use. Shock Well if we are honest about this. It is me that is never off here Grin I love it but guess i know where she is coming from.

So i have taken her advice and logged on first thing So nah nah nah nah nah. Sorry i am taking this seriously but one thing at a time i say.

  1. Back to work.
  2. Joining WW
  3. Driving lessons
  4. Zumba classes
  5. Looking after my appearance more

So come on give me a break or do we think i do chat too much???

horsemadgal · 10/08/2010 10:15

basl, the internet is the only thing that keeps me sane (well apart from chocolate).
You have done so well, as long as internet doesn't get in the way of caring for your kids, then where's the harm?

nicolamumof3 · 10/08/2010 11:16

well said hmg, i think we are all fine of course!

just back from rainy walk to shops then dropped boys at creche. all in our waterproofs all hot and sweaty now..nice!

basl · 10/08/2010 11:37

Yes i agree too Grin.
Just found out there is a creche in next town with WW and zumba classes with near by tesco and Hairdressers etc. I so need to be able to drive.

Any luck with the Very discount codes??

nicolamumof3 · 10/08/2010 11:41

no i don't have any basl. i spent £350 on my additions acc last night too Blush new carseat for tate, and an ipod touch for me! Grin just making an early lunch now before picking up the boys.

basl · 10/08/2010 11:56

oh an ipod touch sounds good. Is it the music thingy isn't it??? It has just rained here like you would not believe. We were all sat at the patio doors like we were at the movies.

Just made some cookies. The easy type that come all ready in a tub that you cut into 8 bits then roll into cookie shapes then the choc bits. Daniel really loved doing that and it was so simple and no fights. Grin I will def be getting that again.

carrielou2007 · 10/08/2010 12:36

Basl I don't think there is any harm in internet, it is something that you enjoy without feeling any presure of anyone saying anything about you, or you feeling anyone is whispering about your hair/weight/clothes etc. HMG sums it up perfectly.

Glad your appt went well. Ive been lucky never to have had ay sort of depression until I got a touch of the blues after having dd and by golly it knocked me for six!! Given me great empathy now and luckily didn't suffer at all after having ds. I would have been a 'why can't you just pull yourself together' before being affected by it. Now I want to shake people who say that!!

Ds just fallen asleep in the highchair, house scrubbed so bit of online shopping coming on Grin, not going anywhere in the horrible rain today.

basl · 10/08/2010 12:52

Mmmm i think i maybe i did not put that across very well. You see i am not like you incredible ladies. My house does suffer and my relation ship suffers due to my use of internet. My children don't i assure you. I love to drift away in discussions and reviews and now Face book and well i think what she is saying is true for me anyway. I am on it constantly and it's just another escape for me. Initially it was a comfort think and i loved all the support i received from you guys when i was so poorly with my marriage bread down and desperately grieving for my sister and i think pos a bit baby blues after Olivia and Daniel not dealt with and the return to work etc etc etc i could go on and on.

If you had not noticed i was drinking to the extent in the evenings where i would be so emotional and then feel so awful and just want to do nothing. Thats when the appearance slipped and then the houswork left and blah de blah.

I get lost with the time on here and then rush round like a mad woman and getting all stressed about it then my dh can't understand why i have to use it so much. Never saying never just why soooo much.

I have given up alchol completely and improved on lots of things but still my relationship suffers due to my lack of get up and go within the house and my weight.

She reckons its a comfort like food is and alchohol or anything that comforts me and avoid unpleasant feelings.

Sorry to go on but i have prop not painted a true reflection of who i really am and not in anyway suggesting anyone on here uses the internet too much.

I give myself so much unneeded stress and i am gradually seeing this but in my own time i say.

So there you have it ladies i am a crap house keeper but trying to improve. But i have to say i do think i am a bloody good mother and love my children soooo much just wish i could say the same for my dh. Sad

carrielou2007 · 10/08/2010 13:03

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPP basl, that is EXACTLY what depression does to you, you can't just get up and get on with it, hoover, clean up, get yourself looking nice/clean/etc etc.

Your children could not give a flying whatnot if you didn't shower or wear clean clothes for a year they would still love you more than any other mummy in the world because you are THEIR mummy.

Fuck your dh men are wankers

carrielou2007 · 10/08/2010 13:04
nicolamumof3 · 10/08/2010 13:12

lol carrielou Grin

your children are thriving..i think the very fact that you are more relaxed and at ease is showing itself in your little boy don't you think? baby steps all the time, you won't get everything right all at once or every day. go easy as you always advise me.

lillypie · 10/08/2010 14:41

Basl nicola is right baby steps and small gifts to yourself to make you feel good.I think you have done amazingly well over the past few months and you should be proud of the things you have achieved.

lol I want to say that carrie is an expert on wankers but it sounds a bit wrong Grin

My ds2 has just told me that he and his girlfiend are expecting so I am going to be a granny again Confused

nicolamumof3 · 10/08/2010 14:50

oh wow!! is that their first lillypie? how exciting..more prams! and more use for you out of the double lol!

lillypie · 10/08/2010 15:08

Yes my other granddaughter belongs to DS1.
Hoorah for more prams and an excuse to keep the nipper Grin

lecohen · 10/08/2010 15:40

Hi all, hope you are well.

I haven't been here in a while but hope it's ok for me to ask for some advice...I need to get funds to finance a double (want the BJCM in black) so thinking to sell my Bug frog package - I listed in FS section but have no idea what it's fair value is and would appreciate help or advice:

Aubergine frog in fantastic condition - Fabrics are perfect, slight scuffs on chassis, foam on handle and belly bar are perfect.

I have sold the original back wheels and replaced with gel ones.

Includes:

Aubergine Carrycot
Aubergine footmuff
Original rain cover
bag clips (2 sets)
Maxi cosi adaptors
Cup holder
Custom hood and footmuff but footmuff has a tear inside that will need to be repaired)

Many thanks in advance xxx

lecohen · 10/08/2010 15:41

Oh and underseat basket too

nicolamumof3 · 10/08/2010 17:56

5inthebed · 10/08/2010 18:44

Evening ladies. I am back online Grin

What have I missed? Haven't got the chance to read all the thread, you lot of gasbags Wink

Basl, did you go to Zumba? I am going to start going once I restart my diet.

nicolamumof3 · 10/08/2010 18:57

5inthebed · 10/08/2010 19:21
