I can confirm he has purchased a masher. He sent me a picture of it and asked if it was alright Confused

My mum always says "Happy Birthing Day" on my dc's birthday. It sounds weird but she's right. You carried and birthed (be it VB or CS) these children. The day they arrived you put in a lot of work! That is f*ing amazing, you and your body, you did that, how mind blowing that you grew two human beings. You're doing a brilliant job, hope they have a great day.

Happy birthday to the Polly twins, hope you all have a wonderful day Cake

Ah thanks everyone! The girls had a GREAT day. I’m absolutely exhausted, the house is chaotic and covered in glitter - just the way it should be! Oh, and a double dose of forceps so VB 😂

As an aside - Geller is clearly an absolutely broken man. The only thing he can talk about is politics or work. He didn’t take one decent picture of the kids doing their birthday activity- as I was doing it too I couldn’t take photos - and he was ON THEM the whole time.

I think our separate attitudes to life can be summed up with our approaches to the activity -

Geller: Do this, do that, don’t look, be careful, up a bit, down a bit, wipe your face, do you need the loo

Polly: Just jump! Go on! You can do it!

No meltdowns from DD1, in fact you could see her grow in confidence as the day went on which was lovely to see.

I did get caught by a sideways swipe of emotion a couple of times but that always happens on birthdays right? I’m glad it’s over and I can’t believe I have a pair of 8 year olds! I gave them a little pep talk this morning about how proud I was of them and they certainly did me proud yesterday.

Going to put my meditation app back on and try to get a bit more kip. Got a full on Sunday coming up.

I’m so very proud of you, @StuckInPollyannaMode!!! You’re a bloody brilliant human!

I've followed you from the beginning and I look forward to your updates. You are doing amazing. The ups and downs of emotions are completely normal. A good cry always makes us feel better in the long run.

FWB - can't wait for you to have time with him, what a boost that will be for you, I'm sure you'll feel more vibrant and alive than you have for years Wink

You seem to manage the DC brilliantly and absolutely they should have their own birthday cake!

Keep on doing what you're doing. You seem to be level headed and able to manage all aspects of like brilliantly. X

Oh and PS can we have a thread 5 please.....Geller continues to be a tw@t!!

RandomMess · 25/04/2021 08:22

Sounds like you and the DDs had a wonderful day!
