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

No oatcakes mfd?

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 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

Jillie, I'm so sorry :grouphug:

:rotfl:Chris has just phoned the greggs factory on his toy mobile and ordered "a cake and a sausageroll and a cookie" :cool: he's back on to them now saying mummy wants cake too because he was naughty last night

I take it your mum is young for her age? (or am I being totally ignorant )
if anyone is still crazy enough to do it after hearing Caz's story, try to find out how many goes you get, my mate got hers from boots I think and she got 3 goes but some others there had got it from somewhere else and they only got 2 goes

Squishy

Lots of hugs for you Jillie xx

to encourage K to move about (crawl) we put down a baby blanket on the flooring. anyone got any other ideas of what we can use as its tends to slip everywhere when he starts to swing his legs in the air.

Jillie - so sorry hun xx



Elle - I don't know how to say this gently enough so please take this with the massive hug that it comes with. Do you think you are mixing up disappointment with OH with the strange mix of feelings you have in putting the year behind you? Maybe not mixing up but your feelings about your 'bad year' (your words) being mingled with your disappointment and making it worse?

As for making effort in the past...he never had a baby boy to occupy his nights in the past???


God I sound like an unfeeling cow but you know me well enough to know that I am saying it with the best of intention. And I know you well enough for you to tell me to b00ger off and practise my physcho babble on myself (or words to that effect)


I have just learned over the years that at some point you need to put things behind you (because whatever he does, he can't make this better at this point) and accept that he didn't do it to be hurtful, he was just thoughtless. If he was being intentionally spiteful then that would be different but he wasn't...was he???

I can play the woman scorned for years - I did in my last relationship (a LONG STORY!!) but in the end all I have is years of me thinking I was being hard-done-to and a fella who just couldn't change the past and make it right.

Compare him to Beenies delightful ex (sorry Beenie) and he is an absolute angel

it was my birthday and I damn well deserved more effort than he put in *stomps foot*

Indeed. I wonder if he'd planned to make very little effort and wind you up that there wasn't anything else, and now it's all backfired?
*benefit of the doubt*

OH is desperate to do it *rolleyes* but I'm hoping he only gets one go. One's enough!
