Do you know my niece too???

Great niece is 12 weeks old and every week on FB (since GN was about 4 weeks) we get comments from niece like 'Bored' and 'Can't wait til Saturday, gonna get messy!!' and 'Only 4 more sleeps til Saturday!!!'

I feel like typing 'I pity your poor daughter' but I never would!

We have been out about 6 times since Benjamin was born 7 months ago...which admittedly includes 2 nights away - 1 with work!! and 1 for our anniversary. And I have a reputation for going out on here!!

Well then you must uphold said reputation and go out some more I think I've been out out twice since LO was born, obviously I've been and done stuff without him (how very dare I) but he always comes home to me at night.

yeah but she's been moaning about how she is fat and stuff, and I just told her that it's because she is eating out too much, she doesn't even look fat but she's self concious about her belly now.

It would be better if my mum actually home cooked food (though she has been making more of an effort since Lisa kept moaning on about her meal in a minute food - micro lol, cause she would come down here and get a home cooked meal) she uses her fat fryer on everything. Wish I had my sisters skin though, it's soooo soft and smooth, not bumpy like mine. B!tch

i as i found people will moan and moan and moan til one day something snaps inside them and they change x

I have a meal planned with my NCT girls on 23rd October. It will be the first time I have been out alone since Leila's birth. She will be nearly 20 weeks old then. I very rarely went out before she was born and dont feel the need to now she is here. I would feel incredibly guilty if I went out every weekend and would miss her (and hubby) far too much anyway.

Hi Everyone

No chance to catch up so hugs etc where needed/wanted.

I'm a complete homebody - I think I have been out without DD about 3 times since she was born - admittedly the first time she was only 6 weeks and I took my neice to see Cats. The other couple of times were family events where she was too young to be out so late coupled with very loud music.

I found it hard going out every weekend when I was 18 I definately couldn't do it now - I don't drink alcohol so it's the tiredness that does me in.

Yeah true SM, but she's 15, and not the brightest spark (I mean that in a nice way) she doesn't see how eating Mcdonalds and Pizza hut 4 times a week would make her gain weight. It's her bf's fault, he's always taking her too these places, as he munches and doesn't get fat. Typical male!

Ah she's lovely anyways, just because she was moaning on I wanted to help her She says she'll loose weight once she starts working. I'm actually really pleased about her, she is doing health and beauty at college but doesn't like it, so was sending her "CV" off to hairdressing places in Aberdeen asking if they were looking for an apprentice, for them to train up etc, and someone replied saying yes they are looking and to get back in touch etc. That would be good for her, as she has terrible attendence at school and college is heading the same way, but if she is earning a little bit, and being trained up at the same time I thinnk that will give her the boost she needs. Plus, free haircuts for moi

Well my niece signed all her parental rights over to her ex boyfriend and his mother so she could go out more :cool:

MFD, (hugs) men (no offence to our boys here) are thick.

and also, LOL @Ugly Betty!

Mfd, hubby did that to me with a bottle of breastmilk... Wouldn't be so bad but he's not normally that quick on things that really need cleaning up :rolleyes: bah, men!

Mine sat on the sofa tonight watching me move the furniture round, then had the cheek to pass me the phone to talk to fil...

Em - those jobs are a bit random. I remember my OH going for a job like that - it was sales. He went for an interview at 9am, they took them out for the day and then told them at the end of the day they all had the job. It was all cold calling and commission based!

sounds a bit like this one OH went for, but they told him it was for a trainee marketing director?! they said he had to sell this shiiiiite make up for the first month, then if he was successful they'd take him on with a proper salary and start his training, but there is no contract to say they were going to take him on just a trust thing? but, if they did take him on after the months selling, he would be on a basic wage double what he is at the moment and be opening his own office after a years training, and once at that stage earning between 60-90k! its a ideal job for a kid fresh out of college with no responsibilities, but too much of a risk to take for a man with children to provide for. he had already decided he didnt want to take it before he got home, thank god.

i was looking at stuff like this in B&Q today......but i couldnt figure out in my head how exactly it works? Can you still open the window!?? - im confussled. bit of a blonde going on today!!! lol

its squidgy tape, you stick it on one bit of the window so that when you close it there is no draught lol! i have sash windows but theres a gap of about 1mm at the bottom, so i opened it and stuck the squidgy tape under it IYSWIM! cos its squidgy it still closes and it stops the draught!

Im actually quite pleased with OH today, I asked him if he would sort the big box of toys down the side of the TV, as it was a mess, and bits from one thing mixed in with another, and he's done it and tidied Keira's room.

I really hate my living room, just everything mismatched I guess, We moved the sofa and TV over to the far end of the room, my mum says it looks stupid cause there is a big gap in the centre of the room now but I like space! It gives Keira an area to spread things out in the floor, and my dining table as the opposite end so it kinda seperates the two? It's a small living room.

First step is to get a wooden tv unit with doors, so I don't see all OH's wires and crud from all his consoles and whatnot, as we have a glass one right now and I loathe it, I dust it one day and it's caked the next, I blame the cats for that! Took me 30mins to hoover the hall today because I kept spotting white fluff all over. Hairy beasts!

Anyone manage to find me a cheapish wooden tv unit, with doors on the front so I don't see the clutter on teh shelves and it has to fit a 32" telly

Evening all

My mum used to keep Jasmine one Sat night every other month to allow me and Chris a night out, which was usually dinner and 1 drink, then an early night as we were shattered !!!
Since Dylan was born, I had 3 days away camping just me OH and Jasmine which was hard to leave him, but I felt Jasmine needed some mummy and daddy time, 1 night where they both stayed at mums for mine and OHs anniversary, and a couple of hours here and there.
My general social life is round at a friends house on a Friday night for a glass of wine, and I bring the kids with me, or if I am having a few glasses, Dylan stays with OH and Jasmine comes with me as friends daughter and Jas are best friends at school, but Dylan stays at home and I am only going out when he is in bed !!

I agree everyone needs a life outside kids, and I do my best to make sure I have one, but at the end of the day, my kids are my responsibility and I am damn sure I will not allow someone else to bring them up for me !!!

Sorry, that ended up to be a rant, as it annoys me so much the sort who expect all the help in the world from everyone, but give nothing back, or the ones who think they are great by never going out, but set the kid in the bouncer all day and pick then up only to change their bum and feed them !!


Anyway, I am going to IKEA tomorrow and I am so excited !!
