Caz - you do sound positive. I know it must be so hard on all of you and I hope it all settles soon for you... Cute Charlie too, I love it when they are talking but not quite there yet, sounds sweet:)

ss- While you are here, I have been meaning to ask for ages... What is the work that you do? I understand you are writing a research paper, is this because you are employed as a researcher or is it part of a phd?? Sorry for being nosey but it sounds fascinating and I keep forgatting to ask you about it:)

just getting away at the weekend made me realise that doing nothing will make things worse, if i show him i can do it myself and get on then he is the one thats missing out and going to be unhappy! still feel awful lonely and get really down but getting this place sorted is keeping me busy and keeping my mind off it all.(whose house is next lol!)
SM im glad the CPN is helping! i have mine coming back on the 11th and TBH i really dont like her lol! my HV is great and nips in every few days to say hello and check to see if i need a hand or a chat. i still havent told anyone about the split apart from my sister and intend on keeping it that way until im ready!

Caz - you sound so positive! I can't believe how much you have done in the house with 5 kids about!!! I couldn't manage that with 1! Am glad you have the support of your HV, she sounds like an angel! :A

OK C in bed asleep but don't know how long it will last. Was lovely to meet so many people today and all the lickle ones. I must get out a bit more with C and get her meeting new babies, just not sure where I will find the time - I always seem to be busy doing nothing and will be back to working in 8 weeks :eek:

Anyway, if anyone is bored, this link should work to the rest of our pics - but the best one was the one I posted. Am still very pleased with them.

Glam - you have FAR more patience than I ever would. In fact, a lot of you ladies with less-than-helpful OHs do. I would've told him to get stuffed ages ago as I'm a firm believer in equal partnership. I'd tell him if he's going to act like a sperm doner, you're going to start treating him as such!!

(even though I'm on mat leave, my DH still helps out with some cleaning/housework and deffo helps with Finn loads!)

its trying to keep on top of it all thats the hard part right now lol! its hard with him here as sometimes i go to say something then i remember and walk away. then he will say things and i get upset. such as the other day i was stressed and he came over and cuddled me, i started to cry and then later he said something about enjoying the cuddles to much and not wanting to go? im hurt and angry with him but i do still love him (stupid i know) but right now i need to be strong and sort myself out and put me first

I'm a post-doctoral researcher, so the PhD is finished and I'm gaining experience to make me a more employable prospect in the future

The paper is a discussion of philosophical counselling versus psychotherapy in terms of integrating the most useful bits of both into something that works at least as well as both.

Caz, it really is great that you sound so positive.

Edit: and aless I'm much the same way. OH is a great dad and a wonderful husband, but sometimes he can miss things that need doing and I'm not averse to "reminding" him. I wouldn't put up with him telling me things weren't good enough if he wasn't doing his share.

Ear piercing - I wasn't allowed mine done until my 10th birthday. I was allowed them done 6 weeks before my birthday so I could take out the first earrings and replace them with my choice on my actual birthday. I'd like to do something similar for Caitlin, I think.

MDW - thank you for the FB add. I didn't realise we had the same first names, as well as our daughters!

I'm still catching up but I can see Mookie is lurking and I have a question for her. Is it OK if I PM you please? It's kinda related to your work.
