  • Ooh, exciting MFD! I love a good bit of secret news.

    I can only see Beenie's limited profile too, although I agree that she often doesn't get on much in the holidays when C is home.

    Are you going back 3 days a week too, FBB?

  • FBB - looks like hubby is coming round to the idea of a baby!!

    The last conversation we had was along the lines of 'I am too old to be a dad again' and me saying 'Well I am not too old to be a mum again and you were too old when we had Benjamin so nothing has changed'

    To be fair, until I sort myself out with a job we can't even begin to plan either a baby-free Vegas trip or a baby so there isn't much point even talking about it ATM.

    Still, it's progress.

    I've got a glass of wine :j

    I can't drink too much as I'm writing up my first mystery shopper notes. Really enjoyed doing it today, nice to feel like I have a purpose other than being a 'mummy' lol....plus it's good to get my brain working.

    LadyBird - I've got the list for sure start centre and baby groups, past few weeks my HV visits have been on the days they have something suitable for 0-3 months, other than that its all older. Im waiting for my invite to baby massage, which apparently comes in the post and then i can go to the physio exercise sessions once im 10 weeks, which are the ones im interested in really....

    what i meant when i say i cant do anything, was i cant do anything in our house....like housework etc, our house needs a massive clean, and ive got the energy and time etc when landen is alseep but then the dog goes mental, and has been really doing my nut and then by the time ive got him calmed down, landen is up etc. god only knows how people manage with more than one kid, i salute you! And then i think part of it is being in limbo. we're looking to move, as my parents are buying an investment property and have said we can live in it, but we havent found a house yet, and the one we're in now, id decorate and make an effort with if we were staying for the foreseeable, but i just dont really know where im at with all that etc.... DH has agreed we can have a day out wednesday to get out and about, and tuesday morning/early afternoon im gonna have to myself as well.... so thats progress :)

    Just lurking, deleted my earlier insane post as I obviously need to get a grip of myself.

    Will go for now as I am not good company at all.....
