    That is interesting SJ because some men do suffer similar symptoms and it can be testosterone related, which could also be related to unpleasant mood swings and behaviour. Not that it matters if he won't seek help, but would he see a doctor if he thought it would improve his bodily well being?

  • ((hugs)) to sarahjane. Becky, babies aren't dolls to dress up. We have gone back to just putting t in a vest and sleepsuit as is a lot easier.

    Well t is asleep in his chair, but we are sitting in the dark - tv on mute and subtitles. He settled himself to sleep as well, didn't even go to him or pick him up. Not sure if he'll settle in the cot after next feed but will be easier as not overtired!

    Thanks for remembering, and to all the other lovelies for remembering too. Dinner was lovely, we talked some, I think all is okay. I certainly feel a million times happier than I did.

    Lovely pics, Smartie. Baby pics make me very :D.

    :j For Molly's walking.

    I'm so glad GISI :)

    Forgot to say :T for Miss Molly - I demand a video :cool:

    *hugs* beckyandjack - take no notice, you did a fab job bfing as long as you did and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    *hugs* SJ, I reckon you need them as much as anyone else.

    Doh I had some blood tests done over a week and a half ago and I keep forgetting to phone for the results. I like to think they would let me know if anything was wrong tho! I must try and remember to phone tomorrow

    I feel a bit bad coz my boss is now my friend on facebook and she came to T's Christening, but I also have some of the other managers on fb (my boss is regional manager) who I don't actually interact with, and apparantly one of them mentioned today that they saw she was on fb. I think they only saw the post saying we were friends not her comment on my status about the Christening as she did that quite a bit after I posted it but she was mortified. I've added them all to my limited profile and let her know that they can't see anything now but I wish I'd thought to do it sooner.

    Thanks guys. It's just so hard watching, like you say GISI. One of the hardest bits is that I do think he loves her, and he doesn't see how much of an idiot he is.
    Sorry, I'll stop moaning now.

    And Becky, definitely say something back if I were you. Have it planned beforehand so you know what to say and can say it calmly without getting angry but in a way which makes it clear you don't appreciate unhelpful, rude and innapropriate comments. Not sure what the words could be but I'm sure someone else (Sugar?) may have a better idea than me.

    I think I missed MFD being :( Hope you're ok if you're lurking :)

    He wouldn't see a dr at all. He won't talk about anything serious to anyonesay I was going to stop moaning now.

    (((hugs))) SJ my mum is horrible to my dad. It's not nice to watch, especially when there's not much they can do about it :(
