I am really touched actually for your messages Blush

I had a rubbish day I felt just dreadful stayed in bed for as long as possible, and properly cried - it's probably the first time I have cried in aaaaaages.

But then forced myself into a shower and left the building (at about 5pm Hmm) felt better afterwards, went to a dance class (but annoyingly got asked out.. I hate it when this happens, because I am SO not in a place to be dating anyone right now, but the guy is super lovely- argh, just feel irritated and exhausted by it right now Grin) gosh I am SO grumpy and antisocial!

DS, though, I am blessed to have him - so I should have been happy as I discovered he had made me the most adorable little card and had written his very own kisses in it and drawn a picture of me green scribble so kind of made me happier when I found this, but also a little bittersweet

Midwife99 · 10/03/2013 23:17

Ah Cafe - it must have been so tough today. How old is DS & where does he live when he's not with you?

cafecito · 10/03/2013 23:26

he's 3, when he's not here, he is shipped off with my relatives (who always hated me, very fractured home life) none of whom are in London but was a must when I was moving house and sitting exams and leaving abusive ex P and so forth- I didn't want him in harm's way. I've had a fair few compulsory night placements (despite them saying they accommodate parents, they assume one has a partner at home to care for said child) and seeing as I cannot afford a nanny, no other option. was an impressive 'x x x' though Smile

how was your day THEmidwife?

Midwife99 · 10/03/2013 23:44

Ahhhhh - I have a 3 year old DD - soooo cute at the mo aren't they?! Saying hilarious things! I had a mahoosive box of Chocs & she said that because she's 3 she was allowed 3 chocolates! I said does that mean I'm allowed 45?!! Blush

Wow it must be really hard doing a medical degree as a single parent with a child so young!!

cafecito · 10/03/2013 23:59

he does say some very funny things! he is veyr into the 'why's Confused the latest obsession is why trains are on tracks and why they are built the way they are and what causes them to go faster and blablablablablaa - look son, I do not have a mechanical engineering degree nor a masters in physics.

yaaaaay for chocolates! yes you are allowed 45 Grin

cafecito · 10/03/2013 23:59

3 x 3 = 9
4 + 5 = 9

= cafe chocolate logic Hmm

Evening all. Sorry for all of you with crappy mothers days. It passed us by. Not sure when or if it exists in Malaysia.
I've just been and made coffee and seen DDs packed lunch on the kitchen worktop. Silly moo she was so excited about her whole class sleepover she forgot to pick it up. I do need to go to the bank to try to get onto DHs account so I'll drop it in on the way.

Probably wouldn't notice TBH. She is almost 12 and, unfortunately thinks she is fat. She is growing upwards. A lot of girls in her class have what sound like eating disorders.
Her lunch is not healthy in the slightest, but she will at least eat the crap. Some of her peers only eat one meal a day and fill up on water. It's very sad.

I'm still up because I don't have the sense I was born with!

Midwife99 · 11/03/2013 01:36

Can't sleep - being harassed by cat & rumbly bowel TMI? Plus I need to watch the end of Being Human (DH fell asleep in sofa we turned it off & came to bed) Smile

Back from the mercy food mission. I generally leave the stuff in the office (she has form), this time I arrived at morning break and saw her. she was very Blush (I think she likes to pretend I don't exist), told me she'd had something, the something turned out to be water. We had words.
Then on to the bank where, despite me taking my wedding certificate certified translation, I don't have the capacity to make ours a joint account. DESPITE the personal banking man being a neighbor. Honeslty, who does he think signs the transaction slips if not me.

Dirtymistress · 11/03/2013 02:11

I am up because I just had a baby. Am now lying in a hospital bed with a very noisy newborn on top of me. Dp has gone home to look after ds1. I have lost the button to ring the midwife and turn the lights off. And I am wearing mesh knickers. Grin
