our white company shop always seems to look like it is closing down - always seems so sparse! They had some lovely space things on the winter cat too - really cute space toys!

Where's that Basl?

sal1309 · 14/01/2011 20:23

hi everyone

just thought id pop on and say hi as not been on in ages due to house move.

nicolamumof3 · 14/01/2011 20:57

hiya Sal! lovely to hear from you. Im ok thanks!! felt alright the last few days..def getting there!

Hows the new house? bet its lovely Smile

basl · 14/01/2011 21:18

Evening Sal lovely to hear from you Grin Well ladies how weird was my first ever post on Mums net apart from the pushchair thread. Felt like i was going to be eaten alive till my pal Maxy saved me lol.
Won't do that in a hurry again.

Dunoon hope your not struggling too much. I think our situations are very different so don't let me decisions sway yours. You know how i feel about what you should do but think we soon learn we should only do what our own heart + HEAD tells us. Think your an incredible lady and if you read my awful link to my question Maxy said something that really sticks about New adventures and exploring etc Confused well it made sense but can't bring my self to read that thread as there is a raging lesbian who thinks i am a mad lady who thinks men should not have female friends lol. So did not put my point across well and lol at that now. Always on PC for a chat and hope you know if ever in the big city i would drop everything to have that very important cocktail with you Grin.

Speaking of which i went to the old smoke?? Edinburgh today with two very fab friends and had a great time. I am going to my works ball next week and needed something to wear. Big sis had Daniel from 9am and off we popped to the city on the train. It was amazing having someone force you to try on stuff. I have a huge stick out tummy really high up so makes most clothes look awful. My friend suggested this smock type dress and i said "no way" it is gorgeous on and got some hold me in head to toe spandex lol so pleased. New hairdo booked, Nails booked and not a penny spent as i had vouchers for my birthday for hair, nails and my clothes.

I can't reply properly yet as am still laughing at basl's "there is a raging lesbian who thinks i am a mad lady who thinks men should not have female friends"

nicolamumof3 · 14/01/2011 21:43
Grin

oh basl we love you so!

looking forward to pics of you all dolled up for night out. I wistfully remember nights out!!

i've been sat on sofa since 8pm in my dressing gown. now kept company by a tin of roses. Exciting friday night.

basl · 14/01/2011 22:29

Nicola is your adorable husband on your fb?? Glad i made you laugh Maxy i like that. Grin Just had a fabby day and night and i tell you i should right a book about Human Nature. I received a very apologetic text from kenny today as its our friends birthday. Its my best friends boyfriend. He asked Kenny and my friend asked me. I said it was too awkward to go as we don't talk and after a few drinks i would prob be a pain.
Well my best friend was so upset and felt i should go but anyhoo i chose not to. Got a text today for prob the first time in ages telling me he hoped i had a fab time with my friends and so deserve it and if i want to go out instead of him tonight that was ok. He apologised for loads of things and i just can't work it out.

Any way i feel good tonight because i felt like myself today and know i have so much to offer.
Oh how i love this gentle pushchair thread but please don't hold back lol

I have one word, one word my friend.....but I shall refrain for now!

No package yet? Mind you don't want to get yout oo excited - it's not your birthday pressie yet Blush

basl · 14/01/2011 23:05

Maxy no package Sad but neither have you as i have not posted. Can you bill me for the top as i feel bad. I keep looking at the hottie teddy and keep forgetting. No wonder my hubbie thinks i am useless. Actually i will sent you a paypal for the top and james will get the stuff in summer when he needs it. I am so bad.

Maxy i sent Sal some clothes of Olivias. Now she never asked and was very sort of no you should not but i really wanted to so i sent a wee package not for sale. Sal sent me a choc orange in thanks back and i have never forgotten that. I actually cried. It had a lovely wee note and the choc and i was blown away so anything via email text package that someone shows me they care means so much to me you have no idea. x

oh Basl you are not useless - just a lot on yer plate. Maybe you could look at it that I'm a sad old git as always at the beedin PO...........hey hang on, that is true Grin

James will LOVE his hottie anytime it arrives! He will say "tum now?" (come now)

basl · 14/01/2011 23:49

Awww that is so lovely. Dont you make me want to cry when i think i hear what James may sound like. So would love to meet him. Tum now is adorable and i must get this off to him tomorrow. I remember buying it and smiling from ear to ear and thinking he will love this, little man for all his hard work. Hope you remember why i am sending i gift?? He has been such a wee soldier and well it was a bear and well i love his little face and voice and well i love his mummy and well i bloody well better get it sent off tomorrow lol. Grin

maxybrown · 14/01/2011 23:55

awwwwwwwwwwww Smile of course I remember why - i forget very little, except day to day shite normalness. Ooh i HOPE your thing arrives tomorrow - will fit through letterbox, sent it 1st class c;ass Hmm blardy post - when casper is biger, I will of course be training him pigeon style to do all my deliveries Grin

basl · 15/01/2011 00:08

Well i am liking late past actually. The kids have just received their gift cards from kenny's brother the other day so they are all excited or Olivia is as Daniel has no clue what we are talking about but off shopping tomorrow with her Credit cards she says. Last time she got a £10.00 primark card and she left with a whole bag of stuff mainly hair clips Hmm but thats what she wanted and gel pens and socks. My daughter is a bit of a snob when it comes to clothes. She feels the fabric like my gran did and i don't know why because i am not like that. I bought tonns of primark stuff for daniel for his hols as it is chuckable at £1.00 but she turns her wee nose up.

sal1309 · 15/01/2011 08:02

morning all,

sounds as though a lot has been going on while ive been away.

Basl cant believe i made you cry with the little gift I sent you. I was actually thinking about you the other day as I got the clothes out as Keira is finally the right size to fit in them lol. They look fantastic on :)

Nicola how far gone are you know?

Well my house is lovely smaller than my old one but nice. Think its going to be hard to meet people ect but hey ho the beeches are lovely :)

Have missed you guys

nicolamumof3 · 15/01/2011 09:48

morning all!

yes that was my lovely hubby on fb marie, naughty but lovely man hehe!

I know i may be in a minority here, but i feel dh is reaching out to you marie? I feel there is still alot unfinished/undone between you? would you have chance to have open chat go out for drink or something and see if he would be open to couples counselling? I just feel not all is lost between you guys and with some communication who knows? Sorry if im way off track here. All i want is your happiness your know that hunnie xxx

Sal im 14weeks today. Due in July same as Luka another summer baby. Have my scan on Monday am petrified all is ok am such a worrier.

maxybrown · 15/01/2011 10:29

But that doesn't excuse a lot of the past behaviour Nicola does it? Even if he is reaching out............anyway, nowt to do with me so shall keep my trap shut now, sorry Grin

Where are you now Sal? I am sure you said but can't remember Blush

sal1309 · 15/01/2011 10:42

maxy im in newquay now :)

nicola im sure everything will be fine, but i know its hard not to worry. I have recently found out my best mate is pg with twins :)

basl · 15/01/2011 10:54

Morning all and that was funny you dh on FB nicola lol. Nicola my mum came round for a visit last night and stuck her neck out by giving me a few home truths. I don't think i have been particularly honest with how i am as a wife and tend to only share how awful he has been.Maxy you are spot on and it is not on how he has treated me lately however my mum has asked me to dig deep and face up to alot of my not so proud moments and try looking at things from his point of view. He cried the other night about how angry he was with me that he is going to have to walk out on his kids when i really could think of nothing worse and angry i have not stuck to any of my self made plans to improve my own life. I was never like the way i am now and even my own mum wants me to give myself a shake and start living life to the full again. My kids are easy to look after and always use them as an excuse and no need. They are little darlings who really should not effect my housework or my appearance. I need a big old foot up the butt and happy to do so.

maxybrown · 15/01/2011 11:40

Ah Basl Sad but as I have said before - when you want to help somebody get better there are certain ways of saying things - and as you well know, I have never said I thought you to have been perfect Grin and you know I will be here for you no matter what route you take - so long as you don't beat yourself to the ground in the process.

NO matter how good kids are - they CAN affect your housework and appearance (if you like) in a round a bout sort of way - it is not an excuse, it is a form of depression that should be recognised and there are ways of making someone in that situation help to feel better about themselves, and there are also ways that help them to sink into it deeper and thus the viscious circle continues - it is not YOUR fault that he is going to have to "walk out on his kids" it is a siuation that you are BOTH in and blame can't keep being dished out like a second helping - on both sides. You know that i am not all oh what a git and you are wonderful - I am not like that at all.............but anyway, look, I've gone and said loads again, sorry Blush

nicolamumof3 · 15/01/2011 11:57

All I think is that there is slot unsaid or mis communicated between you yes he has done wrong and done some bad things but he clearly loves those kids and I do think he loves you too Marie don't be hard on yourself or give up xxx

BexieID · 16/01/2011 13:29

Hello!

Been a nightmare couple of weeks with Erin teething, me and DP with rotten colds still and him talking about getting a house asap. We have black mould in the flat which he's fed up having to de-mould. So, in short we need to spend only £75 a week on shopping and find an extra £200 a month to pay the mortgage. My head is spinning lots just thinking about it!

Oh, I also enrolled Tom in school (the catchment one in the end), roll on August 18th, lol. I didn't realise primary up here was till year 7, and that they only get a minimum of 4 years at secondary! The primary 1 class is seperated from the main school and they have their own bathroom as well. Free school dinners till P3 as well, so thats good.

nicolamumof3 · 17/01/2011 22:20

anybody out there??? cooooheeeeeeee!

nicolamumof3 · 17/01/2011 22:20

bexie that is quite different about school. I bet he will love it!

Dunoon · 18/01/2011 10:46

Hi.
Wassup? Grin
Superlite still in daily use here as DD gets chilly. Had to buy new inner tube the other day though as old one had slow puncture or faulty valve. Got navy kaiser on it. Only comes up to DD's waist really but better than a blanket.
There that's my pushchair update.

Otherwise: Still jogging along and don't know where I'm headed. Finally feel more energetic after bug. DD2 lost her first tooth and has had her hair cut into a short bob.

Typically I'll be popping off again v.shortly to do more housework.
