I ahte to put a dampener on things ladies but do you know how many calories are in the ginger cheesecake and chilli toffee sauce!

I may not be able to make the meetup but I will have slim hips!

Make sure you give Baffy three portions!!

evening all

friends gone very emotional farewell.

dd has been spewing all evening. poor grandma has had to deal with it.

here's hoping a spew free night ahead.

this could have been the reason for her low tolerance levels today.

Hi Everyone. Have only just caught up, work is so manic atm I haven't had chance to look on here for days and ds's have been right little buggers in the evenings so I've been crashing out soon after they do.
So sorry to hear about MacD's dd. what a relief that she's OK, but it must have been so so scary. Dior that's a great idea for a whip round - not sure how we'd organise it though?
Tannee - it will be just me on the 16th as Mum is having the monsters for the day if that helps. Just let me know where and when.
As for me, I'm plodding along OK, rather enjoying being on my own, except for last thing at night and first thing in the morning I hardly think about him at all, I'm just too busy. The weekends are the worst but I'm taking it all a day at a time.
Looking forward to Happy Day tomorrow, and can't wait for TFM's next lesson in love !!!

Paddlechick666 · 05/03/2008 21:58

ps: TFM, i lurve them calories!

did you get that dress/outfit sorted yet?

OP posts:
Baffy · 05/03/2008 22:52

love love love wagamama

don't like puddings though TFM!

mcd said to thank you all for the kind wishes and support. things are looking ok and she's hoping they will all be home in time for the weekend

I'm just off out with sis to... guess where... have a couple of quick drinks and see what exotic dancers we can see!!
will update you tomorrow!!

p.s. just for the record, something has finally snapped in me (following a text from OW asking did I see H last night?!)

Didn't reply to her of course. But a very stern call to GW saying I'm sick of all his crap. He's made his choice by keeping her in his life and that's it. I said if I didn't have the signed papers and a written proposal for his access to ds by the weekend, he will be communicating only with my solicitor from now on.

He and SG are welcome to each other! 100%! I finally mean it I don't want any more of the crap. I want my baby and that's it!

I can't tell you what a relief that is!

(I hope I still feel like this tomorrow. And the day after. But I can't tell you the relief I feel right now!! Pity I'm driving over as a glass of champagne is very much in order right about now!!)

Baffy · 05/03/2008 22:53

p.s. I'm in on the collection thing too if we can organise it. Perhaps on FB?

Baffy · 05/03/2008 22:54

last one - pc I hope you're ok after saying goodbye I really hope dd is better quickly too

right, really must go now it starts at 11

night everyone xx

Paddlechick666 · 06/03/2008 07:49

respect, going out the door at 11pm! i've been tucked up 30mins by then most nights lol.

dd had an okay night. woke way too early but seems okay today and has had a good brekkie.

i'm out of the office all day today so no access to MN or FB but I will pop onto FB now and kick something off for Mac.

Double vote for Wagamama just coz I love it and southbank is lovely!

quick word on divorces, i'd say sleep on it baffy and see how you feel by the end of the weekend. don't let OW force your hand.

as for me, TFM, I think I do want to get the divorce moving but can't seem to do it. will consider it over the weekend.

sinking in that friends really have gone now. i will miss them so much. am a little bit envious of them too.

ho hum, 6 hours kip and off to the city now.

happy day everyone!

very quick hello before i run out the door.

Pc/ Baffy please give mad c my love and i hope dd is well and home soon.

Will catch up soon when i have 5 minutes.

Keep smiling xx

HappyWoman · 06/03/2008 09:08

ok Happy day

Well i am going to get myself super organised and get supper ready (already done!!) and even get the table laid this morning!! I can then meet my friend for lunch and relax without thinking about all i have to do later.

I am also going to pop to the shops and buy some flowers (hopefully some of the leftovers from mothers day - so half price). to brighten up the home.

Have a happy day everyone else - whatever you are doing.

TimeForMe · 06/03/2008 09:23

Good Morning and Happy Day Ladies!

Just got to pop to jolly old supermarket for a swift battle with aisle hogging pensioners and screeching ankle biters, but hey ho! I'm happy!

Will be back soon to check up on you all. Keep smiling Teabags! xx

TimeForMe · 06/03/2008 12:14

Baffy says "Hi everyone! I am ok but can't get on MN right now. Wishing everyone a Happy day I will catchup with you all soon xx"

Okay, well I'm having a happy day. Judging by the lack of posts you are all having far too a happy a day to post on here or, you are feeling so blooming miserable and you don't want to pretend you are happy!

sugarpear · 06/03/2008 12:54

Happy Happy day everyone xx

V busy ds1 18 on saturday and ds4 is 4 on sunday as well dh who's birthday is also on sunday! So running here there and everywhere.

TimeForMe · 06/03/2008 13:08

Busy and expensive SP! xx

Hi everyone we're home thanks for all te wishes was a very scary time - Lily was admitted to hospital very ill on Sun with suspected meningococcal septicaemia and nearly ended up on intensive care it was the scariest day of my life...she was a a very poorly baby and at one stage I thought we were going to lose her
She has been through a lot drips blood lumbar puncture and 24 hours hooked up to all sorts monitors (including a rectal thermometer ) on high dependancy ward..
very very luckily she improved and we spent 4 days on the ward and have just come home today..she is quite unsettled and just wants to be held which I am happy to do as am so relieved she is ok...but very hard with DD1 wanting attention and no one else here and feeling quite anxious whenever she cries
The tests for meningococcal bacteria were negative so they think she had septicaemia and shock from a viral infection possibly meningits or gastroenteritis
Am not ashamd to admit that I was one very scared mummy and basically fell apart on sunday still feel very unsettled and teary and anxious ...more soon ...

Paddlechick666 · 06/03/2008 18:17

Hi Mac, great to hear you are home and that Lily is on the mend.

I can imagine how terrible it must have been.

So glad you are home, but that brings it's own anxieties too I expect.

You've got my number if you want to call for a chat. Don't hesitate okay?

Have you got anyone around over the next few days to help?

Thank God she's OK MacD. It certainly puts things into perspective doesn't it. Hope you are OK too - you've had a hell of a shock - take care of yourself.
I've had a normal, noneventful day so in my life that makes it a happy day!!
Dior - that's lovely!
Baffy - can't wait to hear about last night!!

macdoodle · 06/03/2008 20:45

Feeling so fragile - H was pretty good to be fair to him - he was terrified but did pretty good running back and forward to hospital with things for me and baby and then looking after DD1 ...but I came home to disaster zone in house and he disappeared pronto to pub.....however now am pretty crystal on asking for divorce - I don't just want someone there in a crisis I want someone there all the time to be sat here with me now in the aftermath and hold me tight and be strong for me and he will never be that person (much as I saw the old H when I needed him I know he will never be what I want and need).....
Will post on later on FB OW antics while LO was ill if you can believe it [angry}

HappyWoman · 06/03/2008 21:18

Glad you are sort of ok mcd. It must have been terrifing but remember you have come through this cris all the more strong - which shows in your post.

Hope you get all the support you need and make sure h does his fair share.

Now take care of yourself too.

ernest · 06/03/2008 21:18

macd, so sorry to read dd been so poorly, must've been absolutely terrifying. You'll probably feel shaky for a while Really on your behalf hat ow caused you any extra hassle , I don't have/do/understand fb, so can't get details, but just what you've said is enough. nothing was excusable. you poor things.

best wishes that things settle down for the 3 of you asap xxx

and seems like you and baffy come to same decision at same time. also tough, but perhaps liberating to have finally decided? whichever (or a bit of both), I wish you both all the best

macdoodle · 06/03/2008 22:17

why is there a mcnoodle around have I been here long enough to be copied

TimeForMe · 07/03/2008 09:37

Good morning ladies

Just popped in to say "hello"

Mac! Lovely to see you and I am so pleased that DD is recovering well. it must have been horrendous for you. And, never mind Macnoodle! There's only one Macdoodle and she's a Teabag!

Have a good day everyone! xx

hi dior, glad h is home and you got a lovely gift. am so happy for you that things are so much better these days.

i am enjoying the weather and fighting the urge to pick a fight with H.

i've been back in touch with various baby friends and another friend had her first on monday. combined with DFs going off to NZ and a few other reminders of family life/coupledom have all left me feeling a bit flat.

i am struggling with how H can go days on end without even bothering to ask how dd is etc.

huff huff huff!
