YOUR Costco is safe, we went to Chester. If I ever come to yours, i'll bring you big cakes and you can make us a cuppa.

No he didn't show up, no surprise really i'm just seriously annoyed that he rang me twice to say he definitely was, and then didn't ring to say he wasn't. Does he think i'm going to let him have the chance to do that to Amber when she's old enough to notice? I tried to keep it from DS but he overheard me on the phone and was looking forward to seeing him, even though i tried to say he prob wouldn't come.

Anyway i sent a text to the phone i now know to be his mothers, asking him not to get in touch anymore as he's messed us around enough. She replied saying i was a liar (umm, how?) and that she busy with her "beautiful grandchildren". Is she trying to say Amber isn't? She's never even seen her. What a f*cked up thing to say. Sick of it all now, i have no idea why they think i deserve it, i never did anything to him except keep giving him chances.

Aw Beenie - what a bl00dy w****r. :mad: And his mother sounds like a proper nutter!
At least Amber is too little to realise she's been let down for now. He can't seriously expect you to keep giving him chances. My ex is a similar waste of space - but L & J are big enough to realise now. When L speaks to him on the phone and he promises her something fabulous, she does a fantastic roll eyes look! Its quite sad I think, and i'm sure he'll regret it when he's old and lonely.

My Mum had shingles when I was 8 months pregnant- the Dr told her it wasn't contagious to anyone who had had chicken pox.

I've had shingles a few times, in exactly the same spot above my hip. I was told people can't catch shingle from me, but can catch chicken pox if they haven't had it.
First time I had it I was only little. My nan told me that if the rash spread right around my torso, i'd break in two and my top half would fall off. :eek: Yes, thanks for that Nan!

Up and down in an unbelievable way. Not too bad at the minute. Off to meet a new group of Mums this afternoon.

Why are all Booby clubs social? Ours is purely for problems

Can you try a different one Feely? IME they differ vastly (and I was a propoer Booby Club tart!!).


I have always eaten tons of fruit whilst in work, it helps me to think!! Not sure if I can still claim the extra calories for BF when I am only doing mornings and nights!

Morning everyone,

hope everyones ok? had a quick scan through the weekends pages but there was loads!! ive been a bit busy this weekend, seriously trying to get on top of my housework, ive even started making myself a 'to-do' list every day!! im really not very organised so making lists is not 'me'!!

sami im so jealous of the new couch your getting!! i love those swivel chairs, i sat on one the other week, so comfy im saving for one to go in the kids playroom (used to be the dining room but hey we can eat on our laps lol)

OH's birthday today so really need to go get a shower cos we'r going out for food inabit!

Thanks Feelie and MFD, I think with Lexi its mostly the sleep thing as shes a lovely little thing and I love spending time with her and seeing her do new things. I know I must be doing it a little bit right as she is as bright as a button and coming along lovely!

Josh is being a bit of horror at the moment and I am not used to it, nothing serious he just doesnt listen and I think there is an element of jealousy where Lexi is concerned. Im trying to be patient with him as he had us to himself for 6 years but it can be a bit wearing.

OH is being a pita, we must have had a 'talk' every week over the last month or so. I think everything is sorted and then bang we have another row. Most of it is stupid stuff that gets taken way over the top! I know my mood probably isnt helping but I guess I feel he could support me a little more sometimes. When he does he is brilliant but I feel like I have to remind him all the time.... He is also being quite moody in short I guess he is just being a man.

Sorry just need to let off steam sometimes. Thanks for reading xx

SS- you are so far from useless. I am constantly in awe of the way you combine being a mummy with what I imagine to be a very high brow job. Have I told you lately that I love you?!

8 portions a day, that is loads as a portion is quite a lot, I think. I definitely manage five, but probably not 8 most days. Maybe that can be my aim for February.

Sparkle- big hugs to you. I agree with MFD that it's perfectly ok not to know what's wrong but have a moan anyway.

Im feeling a bit confussed although I dont think confussed isnt the right word... Im happy and I get on with everything day to day but I dont think Im coping v well and Im not sure why.

Hugs Sparkle - I was about to say is your HV any good to talk too, then I saw your next post. :mad:
Have you had migraine before this?, would it be worth talking to your Dr? If you just go with the migraine problem, you might suprise yourself and tell him how you're feeling. It might make you feel a bit better just talking about it.
I've had migraines since I was a teenager, but usually only at TOTM, and also when i'm seriously tired - so your lack of sleep probably isn't helping.

Good luck this afternoon Feelie. I hope they're a lovely group of Mums.


I'm home all day waiting for Kwik Fit to come and change my tyres and balance my wheels?, sometime between 9 & 5. :mad: So i've had to keep DS off school in case they've not been by 3 and i'd be unable to collect him. (Transport problem still hasn't been sorted!).

Car is in for service tomorrow too, so i'll have to keep him off again in case i've not got the car back before 3.

I've emailed every group in the area, and all have said the same thing

I've not managed to find any LLL groups either. Distinct lack of breastfeeding socialising going on around here!

Thanks 3, was going to make an appointment about the migraines cos I really dont think they are helping. The one I had on Friday got worse and worse, it was like pressure building up in my head and my vision wasnt good at all in my left eye (was all white light and stuff) and it carried on until I threw up, then it was like someone had popped my head with a pin and it was gone within 10 mins. It was quite scary though as I was alone with Lexi, so I need to get that sorted.

Im also considering if my pill is contributing to the way im feeling, is anyone on cilest? I came off it about a year before ttc as I thought it might be causing me problems, but when I went for my check up after Lexi my doctor said to try it again as my body will have changed through another pregnancy

Wish we lived closer together Feelie, didnt get to spend much time with you at the sling meet. I bet Toby and Lexi would have fun together while we had a good gossip!

Sounds like me Sparkle. When I have one I either need to go to bed, or it gets worse until i'm sick, then its better. Neither of which is good when you've got children to look after.

I'm also not allowed the pill anymore, because of migraine. I must have tried every one available over the years (including Cilest) and I had more frequent migraines on all of them. The best thing about being pregnant for me was no migraines but its a bit drastic to be pregnant forever. :rotfl:
