Dearly Be-Chucked, we are gathered here today because, for whatever reason, our man has dumped us!

one way or another this will cheer you up !

Dont know why it loaded twice

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 06/05/2010 08:07

Thanks everyone. Its nice to know that people are thinking of me. I will try to focus on myself a bit more. I did manage to have a soak last night before bed.

I'm hoping to get my last work job done on saturday while DS is away so that all my time to myself is really mine, then I can start relaxing. At the moment I just sit down and think about what still needs to be done

I managed to explain things to my friend and she said H was being an arse which made me feel better, and made a very sorry-for-myself comment on facebook which brought lots of nice responses. Sometimes you just need to indulge the feeling for a little while.

Picking myself up this morning, although I will try to remember to phone for an appointment even if I feel better. The hormones and tiredness are only going to get worse!

startingovernow · 06/05/2010 09:39

Morning all, Chairmum glad you're feeling a bit better this morning. Maybees, the tapping stuff looks interesting. Maybe we'll have to organise a group tapping night of positivity??

Well, I need to report about my hair. After dropping off dc's decided to treat myself to a latte from supermarket. Note mornings are not my finest moment, always look a bit rough as I only do the basics to make myself look barely presentable for dropping off dc's & sort myself properly when I get back home. Anyway, got LOADS of male attention this morn, it must be the hair!!!!!!! Yeah.......

maybees · 06/05/2010 11:14

Wonderful starting what a great start to the day !

Got afree dvd offer thru the post today so im away to find nemo.....

waves to miaow x

startingovernow · 06/05/2010 12:38

Even better, had coffee morning this morn & all my friends thought my hair was fab & made me look yrs younger!!!!!!! Am buzzing .

Maybees, finding nemo is great, I love it as much as dc's

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 06/05/2010 13:58

Hmm perhaps my hair needs a revamp. Its longer than its been in a long time though, and I don't want to lose the length - I've always got annoyed with it before now and got it cut.

Perhaps just a trim and some highlights?

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 06/05/2010 14:39

Dumplings - a friend just posted thison facebook for me to keep me going.

Definitely worth a listen

maybees · 06/05/2010 15:59

Let your inner voice stay positive......you are wonderful......x

teaandcakeplease · 06/05/2010 17:48

Great news Starting

I didn't lose length, just added some subtle layers and a fringe. Like idea of highlights though Chairman.

startingovernow · 06/05/2010 23:10

Waves to all...........guess ye're all away doing the tapping thing!! Chairmum, that's a great song, don't think I'd ever heard it before. Hope you're feeling a bit better now.

Tea, I kept length & fringe too . This is what mine looks like but obviously I don't look like this ! Me - Wishful Thinking!

Happy, One for You

startingovernow · 06/05/2010 23:15

Btw, went to my mother's today & after about an hr she said "did you do something to your hair?". I confirmed I had it done yesterday, she said "it's a bit dark isn't it, should you have got more highlights?" FFS!!!!!!!!!!!! Mother's eh........

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 07/05/2010 00:01

Hi y'all

Thanks for the music Starting , one for my turntables

Have been vaguely watching election results whilst faffing around with work stuff

Knackered now x

OP posts:
ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 07/05/2010 00:15

Starting - nice hair. I can't take a fringe like that though. Debating whether to go to my local place which is reasonable and cheap, or splash put the rest of my reserve fun fund on my favourite expensive place. Will probably try for an appointment at my local place first as I've never had colouring done there.

DS woke me up and is now snoring next to me again. Thought I'd check the election results while I'm awake and now I'm hoping the exit polls are wrong!

Sleep well dumplings!

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 07/05/2010 00:19

Night night Chair - can't stay up to watch the election any longer x

OP posts:
IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 07/05/2010 14:51

Oooo, I asked a question on the web chat and got an answer - haven't done that before.

Life as a dumpling is very exciting (sometimes in a good way and sometimes not )

Two DS's - two arguments today . Enjoy the tots while you can ladies ... the fun times, they are a coming.

OP posts:
startingovernow · 07/05/2010 17:18

Have friends with teenagers so know exactly what you mean! Have no idea what web chat even is . Back to cleaning...........

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 07/05/2010 17:32

Evening all. No cleaning here tonight. Am goin todo my nails, dye my hair very red (cheaper than hairdresser and I used to love it like that before H told me pointedly he preferred it more 'natural') do a face mask then smother myself in body butter :-).

I shall be responsible tomorrow!

Back in an hour or two :-)

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 07/05/2010 18:50

And it worked! I have beautifully red hair, am smoothed and pampered and have dressed up in my lovely silky nightie just for me. H wouldn't have batted an eyelid if I'd gone to this effort for him anyway!

Now I shall do my nails and catch up on TV stuff before an early night. If I weren't so tired and pregnant I'd want to dress up and go out!

Exciting plans for tonight dumplings?

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 07/05/2010 19:02

Was thinking of a DJ night actually - up for that?

Chair - nap now and then stay up for some music

OP posts:
IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 07/05/2010 19:04

I will aim to start something at about 8.30pm...

OP posts:
teaandcakeplease · 07/05/2010 20:25

Love the hair Starting.

Red hair sounds lush Chairman. Good for you, pampering yourself.

Got to go - kids mucking about in bedroom when they should be asleep

DJHipHopHappy · 07/05/2010 20:29

Time for a sing song dumplings......

its over here

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 08/05/2010 18:51

Well a fairly nice quiet day today.

How's everyone today?

OP posts:
ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 08/05/2010 19:01

Nothing exciting happened here, but I did get everything ready at the office to be sent off for the end of year accounts, and now I don't have to work any more! (well not until the VAT return at the end of the year hopefully)

And a good day with DS. H kept him awake and he's asleep in bed already so I'm parked in front of the TV watching over the rainbow, contemplating some chocolate

House is tidy, and I'm looking forward to a nice day with DS tomorrow.

Busy week next week too - scan to see if my placenta has moved on monday, midwife on tuesday and consultant on wednesday!
