    Those are frequently our preferred and risk-free options too Bruno :)

    I think we had about a four month gap between stopping niceness because I was too pregnant and resuming post-recovery. That's about as long as I wanted it to be, a longer one would have made me a bit nervous :o

    You guys are lucky...I'm nice to DH less than before, but still a couple times a week. If not, then he gets stroppy and moody and convinced that I don't love him any more or something (his personality type is extremely needy on the affection side). Our biggest gap was post-birth, 6 weeks, but that's about it.

    Erm, I realise that sounds kinda bad and makes him sound like an ogre - so can we be all non-judgementally and take my word that it's not a bad situation? Most of the time, once I get started, I am happy that I made the effort. Highly recommend plying yourself with wine, too.

    Thought it was supposed to be a gorgeous weekend? Very cloudy and icky-looking so far outside! I hope I didn't make a mistake in hanging the washing out!

    Aless, my hubby has the same personality type... But it manifests itself in a different way...

    Got a driving lesson in 10mins... Need to brush my hair, not really in the mood for it... I feel there will be a lot of reversing around a corner...

    Becky, I can often hear Hubby tell Aimee not to come upstairs and disturb me... Usually followed by her coming upstairs and disturbing me...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Probably a good thing.

    SS, if you're ever bored in the coming weeks, I may have a Christmas mission for you (if you're not too burned out from previous challenges!)...

    Susan hasn't been around lately, hope everything's okay.

    I feel so tired.. Had planned on going into town and meeting my mum and sis for brekkie, stupid OH wouldn't even let me have ONE NIGHT of not getting up with T. I had to make up all bottles, warm up, OH did 1st feed and I did 2nd. I was also on nappy duty. Just feel peed off, He is such a lazy so and so.

    Suddenly I don't feel bad for lack of niceness, never again...

    morning :)

    had a very restless night with Kian, he woke up really crying which is not like him. gave him some water and that seemed to help so he must have been thirsty. need to get him to drink more water during the day.

    the lactulose seems to be working---least his poo has been softer anyway.
