@shouldistop

Even if you were in a relationship ready to start a family, why would you want to be pregnant in the middle of a pandemic with worrys about the virus, affects on babies and financial concerns.

I suppose it's not the same thing as I found out I was pregnant with baby ds the day after lockdown was announced but I don't think I'd have stopped ttc if I hadn't been pregnant that month. It took us 15 months to conceive this time and I don't think most people thought these restrictions would have been going on for so long.

yes, it was hard to predict what was going to happen. It took nearly 4 years to conceive DS1 and I conceived DS2 very quickly after DS1 was born - and being breast fed and I hadn't had a proper period and i'd had an EMCS...

It seemed that one minute we were having fertility investigations, and the next DH was getting the snip as we had two babies 13 months apart. Life is funny.

I got all my weans by accident, in one way or another. So who knows?! Glad it was a long time ago though

I'm on to rail about my MIL. I really want to just scream FUCK OFF at the top of my lungs. Can't say much because I know she looks on here but she genuinely is really close to breaking my relationship. I can't live with her bullshit. Life is too short.

It is ashame because we are happy except this but she's broken me tonight.

Thanks @Groovee. It is just relentless. I just can't imagine hating someone as much as she does me. It is not unwarranted to a level I did at one point lose my shit with her after years of it but i don't deserve this level of crap.

How is Mr Groove?

It's Mr G's SIL who hates me. This whole week bitchy comments on anything I post or comment on on fb. It just drives you to distraction.

Mr G doing well except his wound is very itchy. Was tempted to tie gloves on his hands earlier. He's healing well the nurse says. Thanks for asking.

titsintiers · 27/06/2021 08:05

Thanks for you @IsurviveonCoffeeandWinein2021 hopefully you are feeling better this morning

Groovee · 27/06/2021 17:19

Ds had his vaccine tonight. He got moderna. He keeps singing Dolly Parton songs 😂😂😂

Groovee have you reported that as a side effect? Grin
Glad he's well enough to get it anyway.
How are YOU though?

@latissimusdorsi

Anyone else watching Glastonbury from 1990s on tv. Will we ever see the likes again? Will my teens ever get to a music festival on that scale before they turn 40! Railing about everything our young people are missing at time in their lives they will never get backAngry
Totally agree with you

I watched Glastonbury last night, it was brilliant and the talent on it was amazing

My ds early 20s just wants nightclubs back and pubs open till late. A festival too if thats not too much to ask.

Haha I reckon he's been googling or searching Spotify 😂

I'm doing ok. I need time away but I also need self catering so Mr G can rest but we're still tied to blooming nurse check ups. I know I have a holiday booked for October but I need a change of scene. Day trips normally work but just now dh just can't manage them.

Off for afternoon tea with friends today. Out for a massage and lunch tomorrow. So I am making well being time for me, which I think is important.

ssd · 28/06/2021 11:09

Hope you have a lovely time @Groovee

I think it is @Groovee. Hope you had a nice tea, and have a good day today!

Railing against the fact that Queen Nic’s handling of Covid has resulted in us having the highest positives in Europe now. I suppose at least we’re winning something!

Good grief @WouldBeGood that's a worrying** picture ( worrying as it adds new variables to likelihood of being allowed to holiday in Majorca mid August ) .

We're in England just now (it's wonderful) good job they're not doing tit for tat or they would have closed the borders on us.

WouldBeGood · 29/06/2021 08:26

It’s really not impressive is it?

Don’t worry though, Covid update today! 😱

That map is worrying.
Are we buying the arguments that it's more testing that's the issue rather than more testing ?

Lockdownbear · 29/06/2021 08:49

Rather than more cases, picking up asymptomatic people.

Sorry about my first post.

WouldBeGood · 29/06/2021 08:50

I think we are testing more than Europe.

Also more positives cos of longer lockdown with the Jacinda goal

OP posts:
Y0uCann0tBeSer10us · 29/06/2021 08:55

I think there is genuinely more COVID in Scotland right now in addition to more testing. The harder restrictions and quest for maximum suppression have left us more vulnerable immunologically speaking and we have significantly less population immunity (despite more or less the same death for some reason). However, it is tending to be the young and unvaccinated getting it, and those who are vaccinated are less seriously ill, so in that sense it doesn't matter so much.

I did see on Twitter last night NS had done one of those personal appeals for people to be careful though, so perhaps they are getting twitchy about the sheer scale of the numbers. I really hope they don't get spooked into pushing back the opening date again though as we'd lose the whole summer. Doubly gauling if England sticks to their timetable and we're even further behind because of past mistakes.

runningpink · 29/06/2021 09:11

Hope you had a nice day @Groovee

It’s utterly ridiculous, she put us through hell and we are no better off from doing so. I honestly can’t ever see me getting past all this. Think the only way would be to hash it out with Nicola and perhaps gets some answers which isn’t going to happen

What’s today’s update @WouldBeGood? Hadn’t realised there was one?

WouldBeGood · 29/06/2021 09:22

Dunno @runningpink, just saw it mentioned on Glasgow live
