    hello. ive been here in spirit, but really fussy babies and a poorly OH has meant that I havent actually been here in mind. and now i am starving and had a mini breakdown with christopher, I started crying with him on my knee, willing him to go asleep, so took him into OH (who was sitting up in bed watching tele!!! :confused:) as i dont like him to see me upset and it surely woudlnt do him any good noticing my stressed-outness and have came down to make myself some tea.
    I havent ate since 12 midday and am starving -- not like me to not eat every couple hours!! lol

    How can you even comtemplate going back and reading that far MOTM!!!

    Look people, don't worry, I just am one of those people that don't like to think things, just come out and say it, so there! Makes me feel better, all happy now.X

    Because people have replied to me and i'd consider it rude not to acknowledge them :)

    Much further than 30 odd pages and I wouldn't go back for anything i've missed, but some posts need or deserve replying too, ones aimed at me and others that aren't that I may have something to add or have experience of.

    I have a bit of an issue with the thanks button as it's overused and doesn't really tell you if you've been useful or not in many situations, but you learn who appreciates you and who doesn't ;) I understand a couple of people have left recently, which is sad, as i'd like to thing everyone is welcome, even old me with little in common with anyone :o

    nOPE cARLA (whoops) we all got frustrated and gave up :p

    Choppy - what you need is the bog standard tommee tippee 1st cup :cool: Don't expect any actual drinking from it for around a month though, if she masters it before then she's a genius :D

    SS, you never ignore anyone my lovely! XXX

    Heh, we've got some EPIC silent treatment going on here :o

    I just had to take Husband into the living room with me to change Molly because I was too uncomfortable [in my own HOME] to go alone. This will not continue. Brother was only invited because we wanted Mum to come over - he's ensured it's been uncomfortable for everyone the whole time. I'm disgusted by him.

    I agree about thanks, i overuse it too though lol.

    If someone acknowledges me
    If someone makes me laugh
    If someone is *shock, horror* helpful
    If someone has posted big news i.e. a birth

    I don't tend to thank many posts that didn't directly acknowledge me, and then that's more to show i've read it and acknowledged them back iyswim.

    Hi Invisible Tara :wave: :D I am sometimes invisible too on preggy thread, but then i try to remember i post a lot of self pitying drivel that people are probs sick of reading about :eek:

    Hi parenty people btw :p :wave:

    I have a very thick skin, and am more than happy to shout I'm here, as you can see, but I can go a couple of days of just reading and not posting, as some others do. When you only read for a bit it's easy to notice how some come on and post, take the time to answer and comment on others posts but don't get an acknowlegment, and some are more fragile than me, us girls can be very hormonal post-natal as you know! :o

    Anyway, now I've been a bit of a c0w, I'll go stick my head in the oven! Night. XXX Love you all! :A

    Edit, labour vibes to Beenie! XXX
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    Where are you going shopping Harley?


    Hi Tara:beer:

    Promise I wasn't ignoring you, I went back to the cross stitch whilst Kezia was asleep. I'm so desperate to finish it, if I do it tonight I'll only be a month late, and only have till Xmas to do the last of the set of 3. Ever think you've taken on too much???

    Tomorrow I am going to Sherborne in Dorset. I went on Monday to meet up with a friend for lunch and saw a gorgeous cardi for BFing in a new M&Co shop thats opened there. Unfortunately their card machines went wrong and they wouldn't accept a cheque so I stomped out in a huff, and have been regretting it since. Going back tomorrow in the hope that it's still there. They have a fab toy shop too so might just have to go in there again and get Kezia even more presents.

    She has started sucking her thumb today, she looks so cute.

    Grumbling now though, back later

    xxxxx

    P.s still desperate to get to Lyme, sure I'll manage it after xmas sometime. xx
