BTP *hugs* I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with your hubby. Personally porn doesn't bother me that much, to be honest I'm probably more into it that my DH is but I can understand why you are feeling hurt. I think what he has done is out of order but at least he hasn't strayed? I know how hard it is to re-build trust once it has been lost. DH and I had a bust up a long time ago over a text message I wasn't happy with. Something didn't feel right so for the first time in our relationship I checked his phone. To say I went ballistic is an understatement, despite the fact that I knew he was just being a prick and it was innocent innuendo. That happened nearly two years ago but it still upsets me so I think it's fair to say I hold onto things for a long time. My DH wasn't keen on DTD while I was pregnant either and although I know it was because he was worried about the baby it really dented my confidence and I still haven't recovered. I feel really self-conscious about my body and I'm slowly starting to feel comfortable being intimate with him again. It's quite an about turn in our relationship as I'm the one with the high sex drive - but it's disappeared since having Scarlett. I really hope it comes back soon as for me DTD is part of what makes me feel close on a mental as well as physical level. Just a thought but do you think he might be trying to provoke a reaction from you to get attention? Obviously I don't know your husband but from what I can see of my own DH and my friend's experiences Men can feel a bit rejected after a baby is born and I know you have a toddler too. I know it's pathetic and to be honest it irritates me that they are so bloody stupid, but I've been trying to make sure I give DH lot's of attention so that he doesn't think I only care about Scarlett. Feel free to PM me or mail on facebook if you ever need to talk
Louise - I'm really sorry to hear that your DH's tour has been extended. I can't begin to imagine how hard that must be for you
Becs - hope your flea situation gets sorted out soon - what a nightmare for you.
Damn I've forgotten what else I was going to say.... Not much to report here. Weird weekend - DH and I had a big row on Saturday over him not pulling his weight with Scarlett at the weekend's. He has the best of intentions but when it means he is going to have to get out of bed and give up his lie-in it's a different matter. In anger he told me he thought our relationship was "fucked". Nice! I know he didn't mean it and he was just angry with me but it hurt nonetheless. In the afternoon he apologised and took me out for a Hot Choc and piece of Carrot Cake. I must admit I did brood on it all weekend but things are resolved now and we had a nice day yesterday.
Yesterday I saw my Dad - he came up from Dorset as it was my Step-niece's birthday. Dad bought Scarlett a lovely Silver Cross High Chair for Christmas so he brought it up with him so we don't have to find the room in the car next week when we visit. This is it - what do you think?

I put her in it this morning just to take a photo for my Dad as she is too small for it yet. I think she will love it when she is big enough - it's height adjustable and has a play tray aswell as a feeding one. It's nice and padded so I think it will be perfect for her to sit in and play with while I get on with cooking in the kitchen
Right I can hear her waking up so I better go. Catch you all later....
p.s the mice found the mahooosive box of Ferrer Rocher DH bought me for Christmas. Fortunately I heard them trying to nibble the seal so whipped it away before they got into the box. Shame I found my pressie but he should have found a better hiding place..........
