Fab & Glam Part 4 - Spring into Happiness!

[Paddlechick666]

Good Lord people, we've filled a thread up in about 6 weeks!

Anyways, here's a link to the venue Tanee suggested for a picnic:

Looks fabulous so let's get planning!

ps: sorry for London/Southern centric take on this but we'll plan hits around the rest of the country too I promise.

pps: Lily, get yer butt on FB woman!

Hi SG - welcome back.
CC - I wish I'd had MN when my ex left me for his OW. I had no idea what was going on but he followed exactly the same script as all these men on here. At least then I'd have had a heads up on what he was up to.
Mind you I don't think we'd have lasted anyway, even if he hadn't had the affair, we were too different.
Baffy - lol at texting. I've done that so many times i have to really look hard before I hit send now, and even then sometimes I panic and have to go to the sent box to check!
TFM & PC - hope you are both OK
Hi to everyone else too.

Hi Dior

Give me a ring if you need to talk - or maybe we could meet for lunch or coffee again.

Not sure how to cheer you up as it all seems so silly to just remind you about all the good things in your life.

I know that when i was at my lowest i used to try and make someone smile each day, inside i was so low but knowing that even for that second i meant something to someone else somehow gave me a tiny spark of life.

You know you have your family but as i know at the time you are in that dark place you just cant see that.

Sending you lots of hugs and please know that you have brought something special to my life.

Thinking of you today - take care.

Sorry things not good at the minute , can i join in
I think i may have mastitis and feel terrible so any of you mummies who bf any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Also dp buisness really struggling at the mo, he a mortgage advisor, and last night he said he may have to give it up or get another job to suplement it , this bloody credit crunch!
Neither option good , we har4dly see him at the min as it is so another job would just be a nightmare.
But moving jobs means extra childcare when i go back to work as he takes ds to school and picks him up on top of dd1 and dd2 nursery fees!
We also still paying loan we tookmout to start the buisness
Thouroughly fed up with you today ladies!

Hi all, no time today as have to deliver leaflets for the London elections tomorrow, so this is just a quick Hi.

Lily, no advice on mastitis, though I heard once of a folk remedy involving putting cabbage leaves in your bra - cooling and soothing?? So sorry you're feeling low, hope you get things sorted out.

Dior, ditto. DD & Dp seem ok now - she was laughing a lot at something he was saying the other night, so I think things are rebuilt there. He's more cheerful now that he's leaving us on Sunday morning. We've had to take down the picture rails we'd only just put up, as the nails weren't holding - hope we can finish this tonight as we're back in the spare room and I miss our new room!

OK, must go now, hope to catch up with you all soon.

Hi All! Lily and Dior sending big hugs for you both. You've been through a lot this last week Dior, no wonder it's hit you like a ton of bricks. Well done you for being such a great friend, especially when you have your own stuff going on.
Tannee - glad dp and dd are back on friendly terms again. Its hard being stuck in the middle isn't it. Is he drinking less now. DP is being very good atm, I let him out on Saturday to watch the footie with his brothers while I had a nice day on my own with the boys and he's still grateful
I feel a bit down today tbh. Its my brother's birthday and we don't really speak to each other any more (long story). I want to pick up the phone and say Happy Birthday but I can't .
We need TFM to come along with some of her jokes to cheer us up

Hi just a quick hello as i a rush

Lilyloo- Go buy a breast pump dispenser. I know your breast feeding but dd sounds like she isnt taking all you have to offer. And that way you can freeze it for her just incase you do run out at some point. And trust me it eases the pain no end! You use the pump in between feeds when the pain starts to hit and this will relieve it.

Ok got to run take care all xx

Lilyloo - get yourself checked out if you think it is mastitis as it is hell. Feeding does help but it is painful too. You may need some anitbiotics too if it does not get better - and its ok with feeding too so try not to worry.

Dior i am with you on the weight too - i just cant seem to stop eating chocolate at the moment, the more i try the harder it is - and its even worse now all the nice summer clothes are in the shops again. We will get there soon i am sure.

Dior have you tried any alternitive remedies to lift your mood - i like reflexology, but i just love having my feet played with .

sounds painful lily
I second hw's advice.

and fwiw I did the cabbage leaves thing - I felt like a total idiot! but I was in absolute agony and ready to try anything! and I swear, the freezing cold leaves straight out of the fridge and into your bra - absolute bliss! it really did help me. there's supposed to be something in the leaves that cools the burning I think.

thanks ladies prepared to try anything !
Good news though saw the gp after lunch as in so much pain but he said it's not mastitis.
Sm am happy at that but still in pain to which he suggested paracetamol hadn't thought of that!
Have asked dp to get me some cabbage on way home !
Have also been expressing in between and feeding dd on all fours with me over her which seems to be helping

New thread on FB

very quick hello just to say I'm ok

It was worse than I thought but I'm doing great now

catch up soon xx

glad went ok Baffy - when I had mine done about 5 yrs ago now I found my eyes quite sore and dry for a few days - the dryness persisted for almost a year (needing drops every day) but did finally go...
Hope everyone is ok - on a bit downer - literally walked straight into OW and her baby yesterday - had DD2 with me luckily not DD1 - didn't say or do anything - she must have scarpered as didn't see her again (was in supermarket) - was shocked by how much her baby looks like my DD1 (prob more so than my DD2 does)....can I say I hate her I really do

Not the baby obviously, the OW - actually felt quite sorry for the baby - what does she tell her when she grows up - oh yes your father was married with a family - we had been shagging on the floor in his shop, he went back to his family, so I decided to get pregnant to see if I could keep him, then he tried to get me to have an abortion...lovely nice story
