    jenny my MIL has a necklace that is like a round lace with a huge round pendant on it, i think most of the LOs have pulled at in and it has never broken! might be a cheaper option? i lost cound on how many necklaces i have had pulled off my neck when feeding lol!!!

    Bruno i think you need to push your OH into speaking to someone, im worried that if this is all left untreated and then you go on to have more children that things may explode. i know myself that being stuck in the house for a few days at a time is hellish! i need to get out even if its to the local shop. Toddler groups/playgroups etc are a great way to meet other mums and also get you out, speak to your HV for a list and you could even arrange for her to go with your OH?

    Just sold my old lizard tank so i have so much more space in the dining room! planning on doing a car boot tom to get rid of more junk and hopefully freeing up more cash for our days out!

    I'm bored too. Finn's been asleep since 10! :eek: I wouldn't normally let him go this long, but poor guy didn't have good sleep last night with all the coughing. There's a ring sling on eBay I'm eyeing that ends in 6 minutes, so I wake him to eat after that.

    I've been tidying. Tons done, dishes just done and I've just eaten lunch - bean and pepper salad and a banana. Tasty but I'm sooooooo hungry :(

    Molly's sleeping peacefully, when she's up she and OH are off to get some DIY bits and pieces giving me a bit of alone time. I'm going to Wii Fit or Wii Just Dance, do a bunch of situps and take a bath. Calories WILL be burned, I've still not lost any weight and now it's been three days.

    Bruno, I disagree with Redmel saying 3 days isn't a lot, well it isn't but when you get used to a certain schedule and someone with you helping in the evenings then suddenly they aren't there for three days it can be hard. My OH works odd shifts and it's hard adjusting to different routines all the time especially if it's not expected.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to come across as insensitive in my post. I suppose I was thinking that as 3 days isn't a particularly long time then maybe she is suffering with anxiety/depression to begin with, which means she is unable to cope with being alone with E for such periods of time:)

    Well cleaning has halted at the moment as lunch was calling...Kai slept for all of 30mins:mad: Living room/playroom look so much better now and the hallway is mainly full stuff that needs taking upstairs, so won't take long anyway.
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Don't worry, I knew what you meant. I used to have a long distance relationship with my OH, sometimes not seeing him for 3 weeks at a time and now I struggle with 3 days! It's just perspective really. Good luck with tidying, I don't have a stairs to take things up :D
