Lucky thread

Well part of me thinks he's just booked a meal at a restaurant which was what I was going to do anyway, but it's possible he's got a party sorted at our local club coz I don't think it would cost him much to rent it out and he probably knows someone who is a dj. But then I think I'm thinking too big, so I'm more inclined to go with the former and say its a meal somewhere. If its a meal at the restaurant he works in I will kill him! It's a nice place but its hardly my favourite place to go for a meal, plus whenever we go he spends half his time talking to staff and going into the kitchen to talk to his chef mates!!

Oooh that's nice that you are off to France mrs d! And a meal tomorrow night too, hope the work on the boat doesn't take too long tomorrow. I agree with you about this bloody wind! It's so loud during the night battering our garden fence! When's our spring/summer ever going to arrive?!

Hey ladies how are you all today?

I was in a good mood until df made me cry (you guys must be sick of me moaning all the time!!). I asked him if I needed to wear something nice for this surprise on Monday and he said yes so I went out and got myself a dress and shoes. Now it's a figure hugging dress to show off my curves but I was a bit paranoid as to whether I looked fat coz of my preggo belly overhang. But I decided I actually looked quite good in it and thought sod it, everyone knows I've just had a baby so I'm not going to have a perfectly flat stomach am I?
So I tried the dress on to show df, and he said "yeah that's nice. And you can breathe in cant you?" WTF??? Are men stupid? Actually that's unfair of me to tar all men with the same brush as my df, is he just bloody stupid??? Straight away I felt tears coming to my eyes and felt like I had to take the dress back and get one that wasn't so clingy coz now I will feel paranoid wearing it. He said he was joking and of course I look beautiful and don't look fat but too late came the cry, I now just feel fat and horrible

Hope you ladies are having a better day so far.

Oh bailey big hugs what a horrid thing to day to someone that has JUST had a baby, I really feel for you chick. Why say such a thing, and why even say it if its a joke! It's a hurtful one at that. You've just sacrificed your flat tummy temporarily to give him the most precious thing ever, his daughter. He doesn't deserve you x

 

[baileybubs]

He keeps apologising now and says I look beautiful and never look fat, he apparently didn't mean it. I'm more upset than mad at him coz now I don't feel like I want to wear the dress.
But I feel mean being mad at him coz he's organised all this stuff for my birthday. So I guess I should just let it go, he seems really sorry he said it. Can't help feeling fat now though.

Oh well, on the bright side though I'm now down to 11 stone which is less than what I weighed before I was pregnant.

And the sun is shining!

 

[cupcake1981]

He needs to learn to grow up and to be more sensitive to you chick, post a pic if you like and well all be honest. If you feel like your tummy isn't flat enough to wear the dress why don't you get some tummy holding in pants to smooth it out. That might give you some more confidence now your df has shattered it! x

 

[baileybubs]

Well I've got some body sculpt tights to wear under it but I don't know if they work so I'll have to try them on and I'll take a pic with them under the dress.
He does genuinely seem sorry, sometimes I think he forgets its me he's talking to coz in his job they banter like that all the time. I feel sorry for the girl that works with them, they are probably horrible to her!

 

[AmyB1978]

Oh bailey! I want to give your DF a piece of my mind! I agree, post a pic here and we will let you know, I am sure you look beautiful!

As for baths, Emily used to hate them but it didn't take too long for her to strt tolerating them, and now she actually enjoys them.

MrsD, enjoy your dinner and trip!

Cupcake, what are your plans during your time off?

 

[cupcake1981]

I'm sure you will feel better in them hun, and remember people will know you've had a baby so won't care what your tummy looks like!

Amy how is Emily since her jabs?

No plans really tomo and Monday, but Tuesday we are using a voucher for afternoon tea that hubs got with credit card points, Tuesday in going to bath with my parents to visit some relatives, Thursday lazy resting day, and Friday possibly going to London depending on how my back is! So much for a lazy week off! X

 

[baileybubs]

So theres hope for Emilia with her bath time yet lol!!

Here's the dress with the tights under;

Mrs d are you coming over for the busy show this year? M

I dunno about you bailey but I'm desperate to know what ur df has planned!

Cupcake was that meant to be boat show? If so yes I'm sure we will

 

[baileybubs]

Ahhh boat show, lol, I couldnt figure out what it was supposed to be lol

 

[MrsDuck]

Bailey you look beautiful hun, hardly a belly at all, I can't believe you have just had a baby! You are more aware of it than anyone else is going to be, honestly my hubby would say the same to me, in fact he does now all the time, grabs an inch of flab and says 'whats this?' and I'm hardly big, I'm only a size 10!

I really hope he has arranged something nice for you x

I spent my 30th in tears as my hubby hadn't bought me ANYTHING, he said we can go to town at the weekend to see what I wanted but I was past it by then, I wanted him to use his head and buy me a gift, anyway he's learned since then. Hhhhmph men!

 

[cupcake1981]

Lol yes it was supposed to say boat stupid ass phone.

Bailey you look lovely, definately not fat at all.

 

[baileybubs]

Thanks mrs d. I keep telling myself that I just had a baby and to stop giving myself a hard time about it, I'm lucky to have lost the weight so quickly so I should be proud lol!!

Aww Hun sorry your 30th was rubbish!! I'm with you and being bought a gift, it's supposed to be the thought that counts, what's the point of you picking your own present? I hate giving people vouchers too, unless there's something specific that people want it for. Df's family always do vouchers though.

 

[MrsDuck]

You have done really well bailey xx

I've just popped home to make some sandwiches so I'm now going back to the boat, my arms are killing me and I've only polished one side of the boat, the other half is still to go

Chat later xxxx

 

[cupcake1981]

Think of how lovely and tones your arms will be mrs d from all that polishing

Bailey I wish I weighed 11st pre pregnancy.....that's a distant dream for me. I don't even know what I weigh now, god knows how much baby weight I've gained!

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah but I'm only 5 ft 2 cupcake so I should weigh about 8 stone lol!

 

[cupcake1981]

Well you look just lovely to me, curves in a the right places

 

[baileybubs]

Aw thanks Hun x

What are you up to for the rest of the day? I've just been out for a walk with Emilia and Bailey. Now I'm gonna have a nap whilst Emilia does lol

 

[cupcake1981]

Well I have my bf coming round tonight so I've just had to go to the shops, mad dash to try and get and crappy m&s dine in but they were all pants, so classy Iceland nibbles it is instead! Just gonba sit down with a icepole lol, it's bloody boiling out! Saw all sorts of sights in town, as soon as the sun comes out, so do the hot pants!
