[maybebaby3]

lost 1 3/4 lbs this week i didnt think i was going to lose any as i was not too good this week so now i weigh 10st 6 1/4 lbs / 66.4kg! only about 8kg to go! i got a quote from ww that it'll cost about £70 for the basic at home kit. it's times like this i wish i had my own bank account as there's no way danny will let me pay out for that

 

[maybebaby3]

think i'm going to go for the dark green amber necklace for owen. just deciding whether to get myself one too

 

[maybebaby3]

amy i saw your fb status. torremolinos is a gret idea only an hour or so drive from gibraltar!!! sun, sea, sand and sangria!!! go on you know it makes sense!!! joking aside (unless you are serious!) how are things with the job hunting?

 

[maybebaby3]

goodness it's quiet in here today! everytime i pop back there's no new messages apart from mine i ordered the amber necklace for owen in dark green and got a dark cherry one for me as i loved the pic of frufru's one! now i just have to hope danny doesnt see the transaction in the account fat chance of that with his money hawk eyes

Sarah: Its going really well! You have bumgenius right? They are very popular so you should be able to sell them easily

Emera: Glad to feel you are chirpier today Lebanese food is my favourite (I guess it would be) and you have inspired me to order some tonight from a restaurant near us that delivers! I will leave some leftovers for Bobby tomorrow

H&F: 15 pounds When my DH goes grocery shopping he spends similar amounts when I go

Sarah: Sorry Steve was annoying hope it ok now. I need to do some ebaying too!

Amy: I can't imagine what you are going through hon I am getting teary thinking of you guys doing up your beloved home to sell Good luck with the job applications hon. I hope the domperidone works again I hope you have a nice time with Gabriel and good luck with Alex in nursery

Sarah: My cousin used to have chickens when we were kids and we LOVED them us kids! They were so much fun Hopefully Oliver will like them as he gets older. I do remember them pooping everywhere How is your kitty? What's her name? I can't believe Steve told you off for using deodorant in the bedroom when he is SMOKING! I can't believe he was horrible to you while you were diagnosed with a molar pregnancy Maybe you need to leave him another inhaler?

Maybe: sorry Danny is being like this grrr. Don't do his ironing maybe then he will realise that it wasn't the faeries doing it!!! WOOT for the and for the weight loss! It does show you that when you are trying to lose weight not to give up because of one slip up I think I am actually going to weigh myself today (gulp) and sign up for WW online. Luckily I can measure myself in stones, which I don't understand at all, without being able to compare the result to my previous smaller weight. Maybe just go ahead and get it! You deserve this!

Modo yep I have BGs and dream dris, and a brand new flip

Steve is normally a lovely guy, I hate what smoking / not smoking does to him When he stopped before after my partial molar pregnancy I think it was partly because he felt like it was something positive he could do towards having another baby, iykwim. He was horrible for about a week. I ended up in the pharmacy crying and asking them to help me to help him the lady was lovely and admitted she was a smoker herself, we had a good chat and it helped me to understand. Smoking is evil, it really is. I think he is partly keeping it from me because he's ashamed, but he must know that I know. If I ever find out that Oliver has been smoking I think I'll ground him for life

So Steve text me last night and was fine and has been lovely this morning. He's just gone to work and Oliver is napping, and I'm wondering what to do this afternoon. I might drive down to my parents for a few hours. Its soooo windy again though!

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah - whatever you do i hope you have a lovely afternoon. i'm glad that steve has pulled himself out of his misery-guts mood

modo - good luck with the weigh-in and ww online. maybe you'll be surprised and find out you are lighter than you thought

i met my sister on her lunch break and we had a nice chat and a walk round mothercare. i was good and only bought a t-shirt for erin which was reduced from £5 to £1.05 i'm going to give owen his afternoon tea now and have a cuppa myself and a bit of a tidy and then go to morissons for some poppadums and naans to go with the tandoori chicken i marinaded this morning for tonight.

The scales are in our loft (I banished them there after having Bobby ) but I can't go up because Bobby is having the most amazing nap After not having had a morning nap (Thank you Mr. Postman for THUDDING our door knocker ) he went down at 12.40pm and is still sleeping

Maybe: the t-shirt is a BARGAIN!

Sarah: All your nappies should sell really easily. You sound disapointed about quitting though Are you ok? What problems are you having? Maybe you can start a thread at Natural Parenting if you need some help?
Steve does sounds like a nice guy hon I am just protective of all you girls Quitting smoking is supposed to very hard. Both my Mom and sister are smokers and both have tried quitting but it didn't work. My Mom managed for a while till my little brother got ill 3 years ago and needed an operation. So she started again out of stress . My brother is fine now (he is in his first year of uni in the states) but my Mom still smokes

 

[hope&faith09]

Hey all -

Sarah - hope your having a lovely day.

Amy - how are things going? Hope your ok.

Maybe - well done on the weight loss ... I am not looking forward to weigh in this week, it was all going so well until I had a jacket potato with prawns and mayonaise for lunch. No idea how many points tho. I guess I am having a super small dinner tonight! What a bargain t shirt ... your tandoori chicken sounds lovely.

Modo - If you join weight watchers you will have to keep us updated on how you get on. What a lovely sleep Bobby is having! Amy has refused to nap all day I am surprised you cant all here her screaming!

Well I am ok ... feelin a bit down in the dumps and not sure why. Not going to rant tho just going to have a little cry.

Hope your all ok. x x x

 

[Sarahwoo]

Awww HandF I hope you are okay sweetie!! We are all here if you want a chat i

Just at my parents atr the month but will be on properly later, just wanted to sernd sarah some

 

[maybebaby3]

h&f - huge hugs! hope amy goes down early for you and you can have some rest then! i also messed up at lunch with a jacket potato and chilli and cheese! probably most of my points and i have the tandoori tonight. was going to have it with salad but danny asked me to get naans and poppadums so i think i am going to be highly tempted

 

[hope&faith09]

Argh I dont know whats wrong with me and Dave has just been screaming at me that I need to pull myself together and has just made me more emotional and feel horrible. I dont know what to say I just feel awful. x

 

[Sarahwoo]

Evening!

H&F I'm sorry that Dave isn't been more supportive I hope you're feeling more upbeat soon, you have so much going on at the moment its no suprise that you're having the odd difficult day!! I hope Amy sleeps well tonight and that you can have a nice relaxing evening and a good nights sleep

You ladies talking about diets put me to shame . . . I just ate most of a large bar of Galaxy and I did the same last night . . . except I ate the whole thing

Modo WOW what a nap from Bobby!!! Hope you had a lovely day I think as non smokers we will never really understand the whole smoking thing. I've never been addicted to anything and I just can't imagine what it would be like, which just makes it very hard to understand. Re the nappies, I am a bit dissapointed I really love the idea of them, I love how cute they look, I don't know why I can't get back into using them. I think sposies are just so easy, I don't have to think about them. I think if I went full time it would be easier, but I don't want to use them out and about and have wet nappies in my lovely changing bag It sounds so silly I hate to admit defeat and give up on them, I don't know what my problem is Maybe I should give them another try . . . .

Maybe . . . great bargain on the T Shirt!! I odered Oliver a few bits from Debehnams this morning, they are in 18-24 months so for next winter. I had a code for 20% off and free delivery so I got a Ted Baker dressing gown, Blue Zoo jumper, Blue Zoo scarf and a lovely Jasper Conran coat for just over £18.00!!!! Even better, I showed Steve and he paid for it

Oliver and I went down to my parents for the afternoon which was really nice, its soooo windy but wasn't too bad driving. I'm really paranoid about the lorrys blowing over onto the car so I took it steady and avoided lorrys We had a nice time though and had tea down there which saved me cooking

 

[hope&faith09]

Sorry just wanted to say I HATE MY OH Argggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I could scream right now.

Thanks!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Sorry just wanted to say I HATE MY OH Argggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I could scream right now.

Thanks!

 

[maybebaby3]

h&f - huge hugs men are terribly unsupportive and highly critical most of the time or at least my OH i dave doesnt realise what it is to look after a baby full time, it is emotionally challenging and can be really draining especially if they are screaming most of the time. danny made a really horrid comment earlier and i just wanted to throttle him as he can be so unsupportive and worse than that make me feel useless and crap. you are not useless or crap nor do you need to pull it together! you are entitled to have a cry and a hissy sometimes and to be emotional. men have no idea as their lives go pn as normal after kids. danny turned up home over an hour late after work as he'd gone for a coffee. wish i could just go for a coffee without having to worry about the kids, flat, dinner etc! they have no idea how easy they have it! hang in there and rant away here

sarah - i love debenhams! danny bought owen some blue zoo stuff when he went to leeds in september.

well i'm in bed and going to read a few chapters of the trashy book i'm reading!!! goodnight all xxx

 

[A3my]

Hi all, I am pooped so I'll make this quick!

Maybe - sorry to hear Danny has been a prize tw@t! well done for ignoring him! you're a crazy lady for ironing his stuff, dont do it next time! I think we'll have to relocate unless we get a miracle yey for

sarah - I can understand why you are angry with steve for letting someone smoke in the car.

H&F - hope you are ok xx

i keep nodding off so I am going to bed. sweet dreams all xxxxxxxx

 

[muddles]

H&F Huge . Hope your OH is a bit more supportive of you today and realises that sometimes a good cry and a big hug from someone we love helps a little, and that being mean really doesn't.

Sarah Sorry to hear about Steve smoking, that really sucks. I can sympathise as I have been on both sides as a smoker and as a wife of someone trying to give up. My H is awful when he gives up, and it is so tempting to say 'go and buy cigarettes' just so he stops been so bl**y grumpy and mean. I can take it or leave it so stopped as soon as I got my BFP. Great bargains, Debenhams stuff is lovely. I have been bidding on a load of Baby Gap things on Ebay, hope I win them, or I will have to go to the Gap outlet store near here.

Maybebaby Yay for the weight loss and the BFN. Think you are right to just do things without Danny if he is going to be a prize tw@t.

Windmills Saw your fb status yesterday, how did you get on?

Amy for you, really hope you get that miracle so you don't have to move, although when we get that huge commune with the large shed in the woods you would have to move anyway Seriously though that really sucks that you need to relocate. You are lovely though, so sure you would make loads of friends very quickly.

Modo Good luck with the weigh in. All this talk of diets has made me decide to try and kick the last bit of baby weight into touch. Will wait until we have been to visit my family though, as no point even trying whilst we are there. What a great nap Bobby was having. How long did he sleep in the end?

Right I am off to give my friend a lift to the airport. I am going to miss her as she is going back to Poland for 3 months. Oliver is still asleep, my h was VERY quick to offer to go in to work late so that I didn't have to wake Oliver up to take him too. Not sure whose benefit he is offering for

 

[maybebaby3]

amy - when you say relocate do you mean elsewhere in UK or abroad?

muddles - hope oliver doesnt miss you whilst you are at the airport!

off to do the school run. i'm very proud of dylan who has dressed himself completely today including coat and shoes without a fuss busy day today with erin having dance so will be at my parents later. may get a chance to catch up with you all then p.s. danny seems back to being nice now.

 

[Frufru]

Reading and running today I'm afraid.

We were out all day yesterday and are off swimming this morning so I have not had a chance to do proper replies. I would have posted last night but went to bed an hour and a half after Joni once the essential chores were done

to you all.
