FAB & GLAM PART 8 - Onwards and Upwards!

[ginnny]

8000 posts - how do we find so much to talk about

I am sure it would devistate my h too not seeing the dc - but i still believe there is a biological bond with the mother which is so much stronger and that is why even if we wanted to go off and have a bit of fun we are less able to and would certainly have throught through the implications a lot more.

Lush - let yourself be sad about your old life - i too still mourn mine. Try not to hold onto any resentment as it will pop again later and you really do not want to be a bitter twisted old lady.

Baffy - dont stay for the sake of ds - now its your turn to get want you want and your h should be walking over hot coals to help you get that.

Thank you all, HW and Dior your words do really help

I'm sorry I'm such a mess, I'm just not up to discussing it because I think I'm scared of facing the truth.

I'm literally just taking one day at a time now and seeing where that takes me.

I had a really lovely night with H and ds last night and it made me feel a bit better. One step at a time hey

HW I'll e-mail you. Thank you x

no problems baffy - one step at a time is good - no pressure on you. Enjoy what you can now and hard as it is try and stop thinking it through too much (but i am crap at that).

Today i am feeling very possitive and i am joining dior on the weight loss trail!

A friend has asked me to go along with her to slimming world (which i have done before and know works for me). Also did a lovely long walk today.

I am now off to the shops to stock up on all that lovely low fat stuff.

I have a goal of losing 1 stone by the time i go away in december - its about 7 weeks so it can be done. - wish me luck.

Baffy - No advice just big (((hugs))) for you. It's about time things started to go right for you, it's so heartbreaking what you are going through
Congratulations LL - another F&G baby !!
Dior - I sometimes have very broody moments but I see them for what they are, just moments of insanity. I think my problem is that I loved being pregnant and the happiest I have ever been was when the boys were babies. I would love to rewind my life back to when they were both born, but as for having a new one now, with both of them and all the other implications, that's a whole other story. Saying that, my friend is 41 and has just had her 4th child (she already has one of 17, twins of 11) and I have never seen her look happier.
I suppose you have to talk it through a lot more with dh and weigh up the pros and cons

Thanks Ginny
HW I think maybe you got a bit mixed up. I was referring to Baffy missing her old life.
I did go through this phase and wondered whether I could ever move on but suddenly turned a corner, though I think maybe these feelings can come and go. For now, I'm just enjoying the feeling of freedom Good luck with the weight loss. I think you have the willpower

Oops

LL - so sorry I missed your news. Congratulations Sending you lots of positive wishes, I'm so so pleased for you xx

HW - you're an absolute star and thanks so much for listening to me. I have just replied to you now xx

sorry lush - yes i did think it was you.
But you are right these feeling do come and go but do get better as time passes and more good times have been shared between you.

I still have some days where i do grieve for my past relationship - as we now have a new one. I still find myself wishing it has never ever happened. But hey life is too short for regrets and so i too just enjoy the now.

Yes dior - all good food now (well mostly anyway), and i know i will feel better in a couple of weeks too.

Dior - do you think it is the darker days - i think we all suffer a little at this time of year anyway.
And the prospect of christmas is just more hassle in the shops and overspending.

I will email you to fix a date for a lunch and chat again.

Of course i will only be eating lettice leaves

Dior I am the same, which is why I havent been on MN as much recently. The weather definately affects my moods, the first couple of dull days after a sunny spell I just want to stay at home and cry - I really hate this horrible grey sky.

Ohh and havent got round to exercising yet

We havenst seen too much of the grey skies here yet and in fact have had some wonderful crisp days.

Hooray we have our computer back - though with a new hard drive as the old one would take £300 to recover and nothing we had on it was worth that much! DP has to pay and pay though - not happy about his behaviour but he is not showing any signs of going to the GP. Drinking a teensy bit less though

LL congrats - hope it all goes well. Makes me a bit broody too, though my days are definitely past. Dior, I remember well people asking me when the next one was to be, when DD was little, and I used to look at exH and think, 'oh, if you only knew, there's NO chance since he's closed down the shop!'. Stupid thing is, I think exH would have liked another child - but you can't make babies by kind words alone! I'm not a great baby person on the whole, but there have been times when I would have liked DD to have a sibling (though she always said she would prefer a kitten, and she got her wish ).

Must work now, but will catch up with you all later. In the meantime, I am lurking !

Oh, and if there're lettuce leaves on offer, let me know if it's a date when I can join in? I feel in need of a girls lunch!

Of Course tannee - actually i NEED another trip to ikea - if you and dior are up to it??

But that would be a long day for you and i dior - not sure we would find enough to talk about.

I'm always game for Ikea. And their meatballs are good!

Oooh - please don't think I'm being cheeky, but I really need some lightbulbs that you can only get in Ikea and they don't do them by mail order. Any chance one of you could get them for me and post them to me? (obviously I'll pay you for the postage and everything).
Feel free to tell me to p*** off

Sorry ginnny - you will just have to join us.

Leason for the day - dont buy lights from ikea - as they always have stupid bulbs that you can only get from them.

The challenge is to get through the marketplace without buying any candles or photo frames.
