God I am so annoyed right now - me and a colleague from work have set up an accountancy business which we are just getting off the ground alongside our full time jobs with a view to having enough clients next year that we won't have to keep our full time jobs anymore and I won't have to go back after maternity leave. Which was going well we have a handful of clients and it was nice having the two of us working together on them to double check each others work.

She has just emailed me to say she has accepted a 12 month secondment out in Brazil so we need to discuss what we are going to do with the business - ie I'm going to have to go it alone now so all the clients are basically my responsbility aswell as me being 33 weeks pregnant and going to have a new baby in a few weeks. Christmas and new year is the busiest time for an accountant with tax returns, company accounts etc and the plan was that this year she would be able to handle the clients we had but now that has all gone pear-shaped. I'm really disappointed with her as she was the closest friend I have up here in the north east and now she is just buggering off and leaving me to handle it all myself :(

really don't know what to do now :cry: - well I suppose it serves me right for actually making close friends and thinking we could go into business together, I rarely make friends nowadays thanks to being let down so badly in the past and hurt so to know that my best friend up here is just upping and leaving reminds me exactly why I shouldn't bother in the future. At least with my DH, my little cats and my baby they should all stick around a bit longer :cry:. DH worries that I don't make friends and tend to stay a bit of a recluse since moving up here but I think this proves my point. Why bother because they always let you down in the end :(

Sorry just needed a rant :)

Right I'd better get to the supermarket and buy some food!
 
Aaww, Blondie, that's too bad. Is there anyone else you could work with? I know you'll be overwhelmed when baby comes, but could you maybe get someone in to help you with the baby so you could tend to these clients? It would be a shame to lose the opportunity to get your business going just because your "friend" bailed out on you. And I'm sorry you feel slighted by your friends...if I lived nearby I suspect you and I would be thick as thieves!:hugs::hugs:
 
That sucks Blondie... I really hope u come up with a solution quickly :hugs:

Samzi, u should have joined us for a 4 am chat, it was great, even though we should have been sleeping :haha: but at least freyasmum didn't get lonely! ;)
 
:hugs: blondie, thats rubbish, you dont need that stress right now.
like cait said is there anyone else you could pair up with.

i know what you mean about friends letting you down, i went through a bad time while at uni with someone i thought was a friend. im so lucky i still have my 2 childhood bestfriends id be lost with out them.


dont think your that far away from me, if you fancy a day out ssometime once littleones are here im up for it. cant have you turning in to a hermit can we. :hugs:
 
oh, can I tag along? heavily up the duff or with LO!! :)

My little sis is pregnant!! woohoo, 5 weeks and completely unplanned so she is rather shocked (as is her OH who likes his plans and LO didn't fall into one for another 5 years I think!!) so she has tols me and me only for a little while, I am sooo chuffed, the wierd thing is that if I go 2 weeks over and she 2 weeks under our LO's could share the same birthday!!! How cool is that! Can feel a big 1st birthday party coming on!! I think she was a bit unsure of telling me as she knew we had been trying, and if it had been the other way round I would have been gutted, but I am exstatic!!! Although it does bugger up holiday plans somewhat as we were hoping to go away the end of june with them... can't see that one happening now!!
 
I am still well chuffed, I could shout it from the roof tops!! But I won't cos I got wound up at everyone trying to do that for me... it is a shame they don't live any nearer, but am sure that this will give us an opprtunity to see each other a bit more... we can set up the travel cots in each others nurseries (although DH will have something to say about sleeping on a blow up mattress no doubt when we go there! :happydance:

And my manager has been on the phone asking about my annual leave and says that if I end up taking much over then it can just be tagged on to my mat leave next april :)

Three sleeps till my scan :happydance: :happydance:
Is yours on Thursday too Pip?

I'm on a course for three days this week - really struggled not to fall asleep today! I explained to the guy taking it, in case he thought he was boring! :rofl:
It is pretty boring though - 'Managing the Test Process' was never going to be fun!

Yay for a shower, Beth. I'm going to one soon for my cousin, who is coming home from the States for a holiday.

Hope you had a good birthday Blondie!

Hi Blondie,

Sorry to hear your having such a rough time with your colleague, such a shame, what you going to do?

As for friends I really couldn't live without mine I have a few different groups of friends but I have 2 very close friends that are always there for me as I am for them. Obviously I don't know what happened with your other friends from before you moved but you will find some friends that deserve to have you as there friend, please don't lose faith in real friendship as there are the good one's out there.

When I'm reallly ill with my Crohns and losing loads of weight I tend to buy Complan as when I'm really bad I don't even feel like eating as I'm always heaving, why don't you try that to boost your nutrition intake as you need to try and be strong for the birth of your baby. xx

That's so exciting!! You're so lucky. My sister's girls are both in their 20s, and my brother's are teenagers (I am quite a lot younger, and left it till later to start breeding :) ) so our kids will miss out on having cousins to play with.

Blondie, that so sucks about your 'friend'. You strike me as being remarkably capable though so I'm quite sure you'll figure something out. Certainly not something you wanted to be sorting out at this stage though :hugs:

Pipkin, you'll probably get your pics up here before me. I looked at the disk they gave me last time and the pics are in some weird program and I'm not sure how to get copies out!! Hmmm... I'll figure something out - I work in IT after all.

Well You'll probably still beat me as I'm crap with IT, I've just realised we both have under 200 day's to go, yipeeeeee, god it seems a really long way to go over double the time passed already for me, why can't these things take less time :growlmad:.
 
Mum2Be, what exciting news!! Cousins the same age is so nice, they can grow up like siblings!:happydance:

Pipkin, the early days are hard, they really do drag. I found the second tri to be the quickest, this part is really dragging. I only have 7 weeks left, which sounds like nothing, but the way it feels it might as well be 7 months!:dohh:

Blondie, hunni, how're you feeling today?:hugs:

Well, we had a bit of a scare yesterday. I was lying on the couch watching TV, and my dog jumped up on me and landed on my bump quite hard. I worked myself into quite a state waiting to feel baby move, and my bump was quite sore. Finally, when seahorse started swimming again, I became quite hysterical and couldn't stop crying!:cry: Damn hormones. Poor DH didn't know what to do, because I hadn't said anything about it for fear of worrying him! So, we went and listened to the heartbeat (which was quite strong), and then HE started crying with relief, poor thing. Funny thing was, as soon as we heard the heartbeat, my stomach started shifting all around, and baby stayed quite active for an hour after that! I felt so silly, but just the thought of losing our LO at this stage threw us both into such a tizzy!:blush: I'm definitely feeling more hormonal these days, I cry quite easily.

Well, tonight we are going for our tour of the maternity ward at the hospital, which should be fun. Fingers Xed the next 7 weeks fly by!:thumbup:

Have a wonderful day, my lovelies!:hugs:
 
TY everyone! I think I am more excited than her atm! :haha:

Glad all is ok Caitlenc x
 
Have just logged onto FB to see out of curiority what the responses were to my status (thought would write here as a few of u have seen :)) and found it quite amusing to read... it is like being part of a great big conpiracy theory!!! :haha:
Was wondering how to announce it properly... although am VERY surprised my mother didn't put something more transparent... but may leave it another few days to see what else goes on!!! :) it has made me chuckle!!
 
hehe i saw them too, didnt want to reply to give too much away, so just gave it the thumbs up. :thumbup:
 
That's what I mean about being part of a huge conspiracy, anyone that knows has put a like, apart from Caitlenc and my mother so far. The other lad I used to work with, was lovely, but more made for outpatients iykwim and i haven't seen/spoken to him for ages :)
Oh and I think mum is trying to make up for trying to tell so many people when I was 4+2!
 
i finally worked out how to get the pics off my mobile so i ve done a bump shot for you lovely ladies.

i did do one in pants and bra but i think my bump looks fat so will keep that one for me. lol.

he has been really quiet these past 2 days though after spending all weekend beating me up. hpefully he is going through a growth spurt as he was quiet last mon/tue as well.

:cry: my little sister has just told me that she is waiting to miscarry :( , she should have been 10 weeks pregnant today but went for a scan due to bleeding and the baby stopped growing at 8w3d :cry: - she is devastated. She is due to take my maternity photos in 3 weeks time and was really looking forward to telling me then that she was pregnant aswell :(

Life sucks :(
