    afternoon guys

    hugs and cuddles to those who need them.

    am knackered tired after another night of K waking every hour or so. he's also gone back to wanting a bottle in the middle of the night. i guess he's hungry so have started him on food again.

    DH rang before, a friend of ours has died from an overdose. :( not sure if on purpose or accidental. only talked to him valentines day.

  • Sorry you had a rubbish bday elle, i wouldn't and don't let things drop and keep making big hints about how upset or disapointed i would be.
    There is something about men and not being very thoughtful once the kids come along. My hubby used to be great and he isn't too bad but he has had his moments. the 2 moments that stick in my mind are my very first mothers day. His family don't ever go out for meals for occasions like easter, mothers fathers day etc but my family have always gone out for sunday lunch so this is what we did with my parents which was nice however other than a card that hubby had wrote he didn't get me anything at all from ds1. I would have been happy with a little scribble in the card from ds1 as it would have been from him.

    The 2nd moment was when i had ds2 i was really upset he didn't get me any flowers at all, i am not even sure i got a well done or congratulations from him. I know it was an odd and difficult time but i really expected some when i came home ( without harry as in neonatal) All that met me was the empty house as ds1 was with his gran.

    When i had ds1 the house was full of flowers from everyone so i guess that's why i found it odd.

    In laws didn't give me any either but mum got me some for the day harry came out of hospital which was nice and showed up my hubby really.

    When i had ds1 i had packed a card and present in my hospital bag as it was also hubbys bday. During the night so mw's didn't see me doing it as i would have got told off i somehow still attached to drips, a catheter and could hardly move lent over into the cot and took a print of his foot onto hubbys birthday card. I also got him a t-shirt that said i'm the daddy. He loved it so much. So there is really no excuse for him if i could do that while so ill.
    This is my signature!

    Mine always looks too dark to start with, but it either fades or I get used to it.

    I want a spray tan - i'm bored with the pale and interesting look. Has anyone had one?

    You will have to move over the water if you are turning orange ;):D

    I am working from home again :cool:

    No sleep due to st00pid back and baby who decided (when we finally got an early night) that 11.45pm and 12.45am were good times to wake *rolleyes* No feeding involved, just cuddles and hand holding. 'Tis very cute that Benjamin wants to hold my hand...just wish it wasn't in the early hours of the morning.


    Elle - we expect too much from our men I think. I stropped on my 30th because hubby couldn't be bothered to get out of bed and make me a coffee so I had to do it myself.

    Have never told anyone this but I stropped to the extent that I refused to go on the driving experience he had booked for me that day!! To be fair, I have never been that arsed about driving fast cars but I wouldn't normally waste money like that :o I still feel guilty about it now. Good job hubby has a short memory!!


    Caz, your sphereing experience is awful!! I was going to buy my mum one for her 60th next month but not now.

    Hold on, why does Rhys smell of smoke?

    And what is Mr Elle frantically planning to make the weekend super awesome?

    Monster-in-law held him for five minutes :cool:

    According to the list he's just told me to go find (which I very much doubt he wrote before my mega paddy last night), he's planning such things as flowers (on a hotel?), cake, earrings (why, cos I only ever wear the ones he gave me three years ago - he knows I don't want more) and bracelet (again, why, cos I don't wear them and Rhys would get taffled up in it) :cool: He only wrote that list cos it's things I mentioned in the row and other sparkly things that he thinks I'd like (but wouldn't).

    All it would have taken is a tenner on a bunch of tulips from Morrisons, a packet of nice biscuits and a bar of new Dairy Milk.

    I just don't understand why he thinks I'm worth so little effort (when he's made the effort in the past). I'm still gutted about it. Sorry to rant on :(:o
