Sassy I know you've had a rough time of it but not long to go you are in the final stretch

Jen sorry you are being messed about by the jobcentre I'd put in a complaint how are they messing you about? I'm not sure what legally you could do.

 

[jenny25]

Lucy we don't have any money coming in apart tax credits my bills are going too mount up and we have nothing too live on xx

 

[LucyJ]

you poor thing hope you can get something sorted soon. Are they making you jump through hoops I had to signe on for a short amount of time and it was horrendous the interviews I had to go through they then sent me to a workshop (on helping you get back to work applying for jobs etc) 2 hrs of my life wasted to be told I should work in toys r us as thats just like teaching wtf!! I kidd you not I could of spent the time looking for teaching jobs instead if the crap they were going on about luckily I was able to find plenty of supply work so didnt have to bother with them for that long.

 

[LucyJ]

[Sassy_TTC]

29 weeks? That's ridiculous, the benefit system really gets my back up! They dish money out to the wrong people and don't actually help those who need it most!

Hope you get it sorted out soon.x

 

[NatoPMT]

Hi Girls

Razzer, thinking of you too petal

Hoping, i LOVED the Penny pics, the mafia one is hilarious. She's so expressive as wel as gorgeous

Sassers, how are you feeling about it all? I suppose knowing is a bonus given the blind panic i went into when my waters broke unexpectedly. Hope it feels like you have some control and you can relax a bit till then. Ah, just got to your excited running smilie, so i guess youre happy about the sweep and induction!!

Jen, dont worry about the BH, i got massive ones in France last summer at about your week, they were almost constant on and off but i went to full term

Whyme - hahaha @ emergency folic acid delivery. I know you will be cautious, but a bfp is a massive step and the chances are in your favour. Keep us up to date

Luce will go and have a look at the lovely Ben straight away

Vic, i was disappointed to be honest, the first 30-mins to an hour was crap, until they played Bizarre Love Triangle, and then it got much better but they didnt play so many of my best ones. They wasted the first part on toss bollock stuff i didn't like.

AND i am too old to stand up for 4 hours. I went to the loo and couldnt bend my legs to sit down. They were jammed.

Are the early results coming in for the general election? We had an election on Thursday and that twat Boris got in again. I nearly rioted myself. Conservatives got trounced in the local elections though which i was smirking about.

How you getting on Sparkly?

Eloise once again proved today that she will smile at any old toothless piss-soaked hobo and attract them over to where i am sitting. At least she's not judgemental.

 

[vickyd]

Election result was crazy... First of all the neo-nazi party golden dawn actually got 10% of the public vote and 20 seats in parliment! I almost cried when I saw this on tv...This is what 30 years of corruption has done to the Greeks, making them think all our problems are due to immigration and taking our anger out on these poor people. The rest of the result was as expected, no one got enough votes to form a governmnet and now we are waiting to see if a coalition will be formed or if we have to go to another election.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Lol, yeh I can't wait for my consultant to do my sweep

Induction was the last thing I wanted but it's pretty much what I had with pops! I just need this baby out, the pain is sending me over the edge! From Wednesday I'm off bed rest so hopefully mr milo will make an appearance all by himself!!

 

[hoping:)]

Whyme-Congrats!!!

Sassy- Yay for next week!!! You are going to be one busy momma! It is so awesome you will have the best of both worlds. I can’t wait to see pictures of your handsome little man.

Jen- sorry to hear you are under a bunch of stress. I hope you figure something out very soon

Lucy- I will pop into your journal and take a look

Vicky- So sad about the general elections. I hope you got some sleep regardless of the riot full night. Really sucks you will have to go through the election process all over again

Sparkly- how are you doing these days?

Nato- haha. That one is good. It looks like she is about back hand the camera guy (our friend, Trav). That sucks about your concert but it sounds like you got to hear a few good ones… I take it no crying this time around? Hilarious about not being able to bend your legs to go to the loo. I can’t bend my right leg this morning without feeling like I will break it! I did the incline with some friends yesterday. It is a 1 ½ mile hike strait up a mountain. It is super steep… every time I turned around to look I got dizzy and nauseous.

Amber

 

[heart tree]

Hi chicks. Chatty bunch you are! I made the most of the gorgeous weather this weekend by laying in the sun, reading and staying away from the TV and computer as much as possible. It was divine.

Sassers, I can't even imagine the pain. You are one tough lady. I can't wait for you to be on the other end of this.

Vic, it's so sad to hear about Greece. I think you need to move to the US! Not that it's much better here. How's the house hunt going?

Nato I'm so bummed the concert wasn't up to your expectations! I know what you mean about standing. I can't stand at concerts like that anymore. I had to sit on the ground for U2 and Bono was right above us. People were looking at me like I was crazy for not standing and cheering. There are lots of weirdos that Eloise could charm in San Francisco. Feel free to bring her over here for an experiment.

Jen, I have no idea how the system works there but it seems criminal that you can't get some assistance.

Luce and Amber I'll go have a look at your pics.

Whyme, congrats babe!!! I know it's scary times. I'm so happy for you though.

My step mother and father came by yesterday with ridiculous amounts of gifts for the baby. They gave me
30 articles of clothing
5 pairs of socks
2 bibs
2 hats
3 blankets
4 stuffed animals
1 swaddling blanket
3 books
2 pacifiers
1 rattle
1 teething ring
1 tiny little red wagon

The clothes are soooo cute! They got me a combo of newborn clothes and stuff for when she's a little older. They are also going to buy the crib and crib mattress for us. I feel very lucky yet again.

It made it more real to see these little things that I'll get to put on my girl. She's been active like a little maniac. I just love her. One week from today until my next cervix scan. I hope I get a good ultrasound tech who measures the baby and takes pics. More importantly, I hope my cervix is stable.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday! (I can't believe I said that as I'm a self proclaimed Monday hater).

 

[hoping:)]

I update my journal with Penny's "Mafia" photos if anyone is interestd

Hearty- good for you taking advantage of the beautiful weather! It was beautiful here in Colorado as well but today it is snowing Your little girl is getting spoiled already! She is a very lucky girl! I bet you are having lots of fun looking at all her baby things.

 

[Allie84]

Hello ladies,

I hope you're all well. I'm off to read back. I've had a crap week so I've been laying low. Lots of work and I'm not feeling well. Last week I was sitting around working at around 11 pm and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to faint, it really scared me! My heart started racing and I just panicked that I was going to die and I rushed myself to the ER. They did a few tests and all was normal. Referred me to my GP who didn't even exaimine me, told me I have mega anxiety and referred me to a psychologist. I scored really high on the anxiety test...worried about something bad happening, unrealistic fears, etc. I keep having this horrible fear that I'm going to die and leave Alistair. I've been worrying about things like not having the baby book filled out and I told Ale to print off my BnB journals when I die....I know it's weird but sometimes I look at him and freak out thinking of how much I don't want to leave him. This is all out of the blue.

Anyways, since then I'm dizzy and lightheaded practically all the time and I'm having a hard time accpeting it's anxiety and still feel convinced something horrible is wrong with me and I'm going to drop dead any minute. I can't take any pills because I'm breastfeeding and the therapist hasn't gotten back to me about starting CBT. Anyways, enough about me, let's see how much I can focus and read back! Alistair is napping really well right now.

 

[heart tree]

Allie that sounds awful. I've never had anxiety to that extent but I tend to b anxious and know how awful it feels. I know it can manifest with physical symptoms, but it's so hard to wrap your brain around the idea that your thoughts are causing a physical reaction. I think CBT is a great thing to try. It's very solution focused. You'll be given very practical exercises to practice and integrate as a way to ease the anxiety. It will take some time, but I think it's a great approach to persistent anxiety.

I wonder if your hormones are still unbalanced after giving birth. That can also play a role in mood disorders. If CBT doesn't help, you might want to request that they check your levels. Hang in there sweetie.

 

[Allie84]

Hearty, glad to hear you are doing well. What a great bunch of baby stuff! I put Alistair in an outfit today I was given while pregnant. I remember wondering what it would feel like to have a baby that fit in 6 months clothes. Now I know! It's all so surreal, from pregnancy onwards. LOL @ sitting at U2.

Hoping, I will go have a look at the pics! Sounds charming.

Nato, LOL @ Eloise charming the hobos. Who knows, she probably made his day! She's doing good deeds already. Too bad about the concert...I hate being dissapointed by concerts. I am a HUGE John Mayer fan and one of his albums (Heavier Things) is pretty much my favorite album of all time. I went to his concert (well, I've seen him 3 times, but this latest concert) he didn't sing a SINGLE SONG from that album. I waited and waited. It was almost cruel! Oh well. So I do know what you mean.

Jenny, so sorry about the government. I don't understand how the jobcentre works but they sound useless. Lucy, I can't believe they referred you to Toys R Us!!

Vicky, whoa...a neo-nazi party? Crazy. People like to blame immigrants here as well. And I keep seeing status updates on Facebook from people about how we need to 'help ourselves' before we give foreign aid to developing countries. I get so angry at the ingorance of people! URGH. I've been following the French election but didn't hear much here about the Greek election. Hope it all turns out. Sorry about the flat.

Sassy!!! OMG, so, so close. Are you hoping Milo makes an early appearance once you are off bedrest? I hope you get to avoid induction but since it's your second baby it's bound to go quickly either way. So no C-Section? Sorry, I've been such a crap journal stalker because I'm all whiny and woe-is-me these days. I need to get caught up!!!

whyme, congrats!!!
