Morning all. Sounds like I missed all the excitment with the news last night, but I'm glad I had my bath and went to bed. I've woken up feeling grotty enough as it is. DH has promissed he will take Izzy into town when we're finished at the allotment later (he has gone back to bed now, but he was working last night, and didn't get in till after I'd gone to bed, or come to bed till late once he'd wound down, so I'll let him off ). If I'm lucky they will stay in town for long enough for me to actually sleep!

DH's friend has just arrived, they are packing up now to go away for the weekend. Erin just came downstairs and asked where they were going so he told her, she said (with a serious face) 'oh, is that instead of a honeymoon?' :rotfl:

:rotfl:

Hey ladybird, do you have any tips for getting the 'romance' back? I'm still breastfeeding so that might be the problem but I think I'm really trying OH's patience at the mo. Every time he tires (and he tries a lot) I just can't face it. Will check for replies tomorrow off to bed now to melt in bed due to the heat

I'm probably not the right person to ask - I was just a bit drunk and thought I might as well get it over with :rotfl:. Turned out it was all a big fuss about nothing and I enjoyed it. And Izzy slept for long enough in the mornig to enjoy it again then too .

The next hurdle will be to relax enough when I'm sober to think it is a good idea then too :cool:.

Anyway, onto more savouru subjects for the morning, I have officially got a fussy toddler. The only thing I can get her to eat for breakfast this morning are Ritz biscuits. I'm now trying to think of something sensible to eat for breakfast myself, seeing as I never get to finish my breakfast all by myself. I really fancy nutella on toast, but I think today I should have something healthy.

This summer cbeebies song is growing on me now. Is it just me or did they re-record it? not the video but the audio? I'm sure the words were really mumbled before. I can make them out and sing along now. I still prefer the winter one though Maybe I should find it on youtube. (Oh, if anyone is looking for a way to distract a miserable toddler, search for laughing baby on youtube, and take your pick... works in this house anyway!)

Happens here too, and what's worse is that whenever we do, Husband assumes that the worst of it is over and wants to catch up on everything we've missed so I'm fending him off day and nigh :eek:

I'd assumed that it was because of breastfeeding here too, but I find that if I keep him away from my boobs I get into it once the initial nononononoicouldbesleepingrightnowleavemealone is over. There's no touching of boobs though. None.

Jenny - I think Ladybird's right...maybe a little inenibriation would be helpful in this situation. Just enough to loosen you up and get you over that initial hurdle of noooo-I-don't-wanna! And then it turns out you were making this huge deal in your mind that you didn't need to. *shrug* Just a thought...

Have about a billion things to do (mostly consisting of laundry) as today is official Get Crap Done Before We Go Away Day. Also, our cat is dying . I'm not being overdramatic at all - the past couple of days I've expected her to go at any moment. Poor DH, it's really tearing him up watching her look so pathetic...I hope she passes today so that it can just be done with, poor thing. She's very old and has been poorly for a while now.

Right. PUtting Finn down and then a shower. At least I won't do like I usually do and put the laundry on and the curse because I've gotten to take a shower first .

:grouphug: Aless, it's awful, isn't it? Our cat died last October and it was so distressing. I wish we'd taken him to the vets, but by the time he was sick enough for the vet to take him, moving him would have been too painful for him

Ladybird, thank u so much for the link, I was sooooo getting the words completely wrong!!

Aless so sorry about ur cat, must be very upsetting seeing them like that

aless02

yes, if she's not gone by Monday, we're going to have to take her to the vets to be put down - we leave the wee hours of Tuesday morning and the ILs were going to look after her, but it's a 2 hour drive up there and she does NOT travel well. I had pets my whole childhood and witnessed, in way or another, them dying but DH didn't really have that so I think it's distressing him much more.

K's favourite thing today - put blanket over head, walk around like a ghostie:rotfl: Inevitably ending in him walking into something or just falling over randomly:cool:


Aless - Sorry to hear about your poorly cat. Are you all set for Tuesday?
oh, and I always put the washing machine or dishwasher on before getting a shower too:o


Ds1 slept out last night he is due back in an hour, then we are supposed to be going to the Beavers summer fayre.....I am tired though and can't really be bothered, but ds2 will be gutted if we don't go.

Still not speaking to dh

Just to remind you all that the Halfcost free del when you spend over £10 ends tonight and there are discount codes for 10% off :money:

I'm just ordering some bits for my nephews' Christmas/Hannukah presents [STRIKE]and a couple of little beige camisoles for under my sheer shirts might have fallen into my basket[/STRIKE]. Sadly the little packs of Winnie the Pooh books are sold out, I was going to give them to my Very Best Friend, who has a little boy in her belly, but I'll find something else, I'm sure .
