Sorry, all I do lately is moan isn't it:o I will try not to so much.

If you need to rant, rant. Don't worry what anyone else thinks as people will reply and try and help if they are knowledgeable/able to. Don't bottle it up.

I just asked him, he's home for lunch giving fergie some lentils. He says: at first I felt a bit foolish, because you didn't just say 'me too'. You said 'I like you a lot and I think I can get to that place, but I don't want to say it until I know in myself that it's true', and so I respected you for being honest, and I trusted you that you wouldn't lie to me just to make things socially smooth.


I think that's a good thing? We were both wracking our brains though cos this was 12 years ago :rotfl:

Well, it's better than staying silent or saying 'sorry, I see you as regular sex only'

I meant to ask before, are you from Germany or do you just like German food?

Neither :rotfl: I live there/here, I got a great job offer and took it, and along the way found the right man and had a lovely baby.

You can all have the excess material from my jeans if you want? I need to take a bigger size for my fat belly, but I have no bum and slim legs so they are baggy there, even skinny jeans are baggy there (though hellish at my calves) i feel like my body shape is a childs fingerpainting picture, just blobs here and there, nothing symmetrical.


Jakesmummy - I didn't find terrible 2's all that terrible, though you'd get people saying when she did have a moan,oh those terrible 2's. I wish it was just that!! They know how to make a scene at 3, and I think they have cottoned on that it gets more attention. Luckily she hasn't done it in a supermarket, she'd be getting an apple bopped off her if she did lol.

Okay, off shopping for lovely Lucy with the just as lovely, only in a different way, 16yo, before popping off to collect younger ones from school and meet up with the slightly older ones to go back shopping and try and get home for 6 to welcome Lucy.

We have a list of ideas, so we shall explore and see what we can do. Doubt we can get it all in one day, but I go armed with debit card and cash.

Have a fine afternoon :wave:

Enjoy shopping MOTM

It's getting ridiculous - the only bed available is in a three-bed room, in the middle. The other two occupants are very old men, both doubly incontinent, both with advanced dementia, both expected to pass away during the night. Husband says he can deal with the noise, the likelihood that someone will attempt to hop into his bed with him, the lights-out at 8pm but not the smell of excrement and death. So they might reschedule him, but for the moment he's just sitting there waiting.

I also have a rant, if nobody minds? It concerns my brother. He's midway through his second year of college, but missed five weeks of lectures (planned and with permission) for a five-week pilot training course. He's now finding it almost impossible to catch up and has been offered the option of deferring, extending his deadlines or quitting altogether. He refuses to make a decision and is causing my mother vast amounts of worry. I invited her over here again to see the Christmas markets and to relax away from it all, but Brother has manipulated her emotions (he's implied that he's suicidal, which is a sensitive subject in our family) so she will only come if she can bring him. Which negates her relaxation time and inflicts him on us, all six foot of whiny moody child masquerading as adult. He also has his nose bent out of shape because he's very jealous of Molly usurping the place as the "baby", disturbing since he's 20. I won't rescind the invitation to my mother, but it necessarily includes him, so he will come, reduce her enjoyment, and Husband or/and I will feel compelled to give him a talking-to about basic standards of behaviour in our home (last time he was here Molly was 5 days old, I asked him to carry a cup of tea to my mother and he put it down in the kitchen till I could bring it to her myself) and he will no doubt pitch a fit and increase stress levels all round.

:mad:

Sugar! your poor DH, he needs to get home-stat! If it's a delay can he self-discharge, faithfully promising nil-by-mouth, until the procedure is booked? That's unacceptable in the extreme!

Also I am feeling very cross with your brother. It sounds like it is good for him to have had Molly come to displace his baby status, it will do him the world of good.

I wonder if he knows how much pressure he's putting on your mum.

Can you ask him if he means that he fears for his own safety from himself if she visits you? (gently I mean!) I wonder if he might then realise it's very manipulative sounding and back down...

Hmmmmn, sure you've thought of all such ideas already, and it's not a quick-fix solutiony thing at all. I guess I was just thinking aloud with possible strategies

Hugs anyway :grouphug:
