Does anybody think that if I book a weekend away, and get XP to come along, talk & have a great time it will work? He'll see sense? Want to be a family... Slowly try again?

Or

Am I being a crazy lady?

Im being a crazy lady again aren't I? :(

Yes, if you don't want him there he won't be there and the hospital will only let him in at the time you agree.

Just put plenty of drugs in the birth plan Grin Seriously though, be prepared to be flexible with it.

Pickles77 · 10/07/2012 19:42

I doubt he's going to make the effort do you? Lol!
Yes- I'm doing well on the drug front. One born every minute put me on first name terms with them Grin

Ooh don't watch that show, it's like a horror movie!

Lol.

I'll never forget the numpty on there who kept shouting "get in" all the time. If I was his partner I'd have decked him!

That eeejit was the one that punched the wall i think?

Ha, I avoided watching that programme as I thought it would either scare the crap out of me, or make me feel totally inadequate.

My birth plan went along the lines of - I'd like to try it naturally, using the birthing pool. If that doesn't fix things I'll have gas and air. If that doesn't fix things I'll have pain relief drugs. If that doesn't work, I'll be induced. If that doesn't work I'll have a C-Section.

As it panned out, we went through the whole lot! IF there is a next time I'm going for an ELCS.

Pickles77 · 10/07/2012 20:20

Mine is looking like that!
Currently trying to get baby to move and can't, and now I'm flapping!!!!!!

Have you tried putting some music on? I used to work at the computer, with headphones half-plugged in so that music went through the speakers and the headphones. I would put the headphones across my belly and see what DD responded to. Interestingly she liked Marilyn Manson but not Kylie!

Pickles77 · 11/07/2012 13:55

She seems to like Amy winehouse and ed sheeran Grin

I was doing so well, now I'm having a bout of sadness as someone has posted a status about twunt on Facebook thanking him for his help and understanding of something he's helped her with. Have deleted her. But it just sounded so much like the man I knew.
Trying to focus, I mean he didn't even contact me to ask how bump got on at appointments.
Focus focus focus....

You need some new facebook friends, Pickles! :)
I haven't read 50 shades. Not sure I want to. It doesn't really sound like my kind of book.
I was at the library earlier and came back with a huge stack to read. 2 books for research/background for the novel I will one day get together (it's chugging away VERY slowly in the background), a murder mystery, a fantasy/sci-fi book, a couple of historical fiction and an autobiography.
Going to sit down and watch some TV now. Interesting thing on about London's streets. As a former Londoner I have to watch it! Plus it covers social history so could at a push count as research possibly!
To do the masters or to write the novel? What to do next? Can I possibly do both?

Pickles77 · 11/07/2012 21:03

Oh do both be ambitious- I love a good murder mystery!! I'm not reading it as a must read- its more a get around to
It one.
Urm I might actually need some actual friends on Facebook-
I just had a mad deleting session on there. I was doing a who do I mind seeing my baby delete of friends thing. I have 18 left!! Hahaaa Grin
No nosy buggers be seeing my bump,
My baby or be upsetting me!! Grin
Hope your well Smile

I unfriended my STBXH and OW snd her H on Facebook as I got fed up with seeing stuff they put on abiut going out and stuff while im stuck at home. And liking evetything each other put on.... They make me sick!

Am more relaxed now I know that stuffs not going to appear in front of me!

Pickles77 · 11/07/2012 21:14

Oh I feel what I would call 'satisfied' the nosy fools will only want to look at my baby anyway as twunt won't show them! Grin'

OP posts:
skyebluesapphire · 11/07/2012 21:40

I found Facebook great for chattIng to people when my H first left. It kept me sane for many nights, lol.

My H was gutted when I unfriended him because he couldnt see photos of DD any more. He should have thought about that before he walked out!

Pickles77 · 11/07/2012 21:46

That's what I'm thinking... I've just unfriended a lot of young immature gossipy sad boring little girls that work with twunt.
Unfortunately the industry we were in ran the town, everyone knew everyone and gossip kept it going. They will be upset when they realise and call me pathetic.... PAH I know they're type... I have found out who is true and whose not.
Besides- I want to keep the family updated on my bump. It keeps my faith in being a
Good mum up! Smile

How long do you get upset for about them
Moving on? How long does the jealousy last?Envy

You'll probably find it will all pale into insignificance once the baby arrives. You'll be so busy with attending to her that anything else will be unimportant!

Got a day of errands and chores ahead, with a rare evening out. Shock
