    Oh and to add to everything that I have going on atm ... DP's cousin commented to me last night with 'when's the next one due' I'm by far a violent person but cud of quiet happily knocked him out I was back into my size 10 jeans by the time baby was 2/3 weeks old ... he's such a t#$t .... His dad (DP's uncle said to DP's cousin xxxx (DP's cousins GF) is alot fatter than jazz. Jazz has nothing on her for god sake you wouldn't even know she was a new mum for the second time think before you speak it's because of boys like you women worry so much....
    It's got to me quiet abit and I've been really upset about it I know I shouldn't let it get too me but he's like the 5th person that has said something along those lines on DP'S side. Worst is they know my past!! And they are all bigger than me although I wouldn't say they were fat all 16+ ... sorry girls rant over ... I don't have anyone else I can vent too ...

    Off to fly and let off steam catch you soon
    I suggest next time you respond 'About 6 months after yours by the looks of things... :cool:' Obviously it's more effective if they have a bit of a gut...

    Boy walked, washing hung (indoors!), dinner in t'oven and I'm deferring bathroom and bedroom until next week. I appear to have come down with a lurgy in the last hour and a half (sore throat, achy with buggy eyes) and all I want to do is curl up, eat and sleep! So, that's what I'm going to do. Can't even knit, and the light from the screen is hurty …so, until tomorrow/sometime next week, keep cool, keep lovely, keep flying x

    Absolutely!

    Ironically, optimum, they wouldn't dare to comment on your weight if you really were of a size. Somehow people only think it appropriate if you are a normal weight. Which is completely bonkers, of course. Some people are just numpty's.

    And do you know what, I'm overweight, and it's still nobody's business to be commenting on it. And my "baby" is nearly three and a half :p

    Easier said than done, but try ignore them. Jealousy is the usual root of these comments X

    So my "babies" have had dinner, both tired so I think an early night. They both seem hungry so I'll toast some muffins when I've had my cuppa. Fill 'em chokablok and off to bed! :T

    I've ironed the uniform (don't usually need to but I left it damp in the washer yesterday :o so it really needed it) so once they are asleep I will get some bits and bobs put away in the little bedroom. Its a bit overrun since this weekends switch about :o

    optomum Ignore the comments, it sounds like the green eyed monster. Just concentrate on you, your DP & your DSs

    kitchen door has had it's 2nd coat of primer
    Shower room above the shower has had the 4th (and hopefully final) coat
    Have also primed the cabinet above the sink

    Have made a major error. I have sanded and glossed the shelving unit in the bathroom but brought one coat not non-drip. The shelving unit is 5ft by 2ft. I *think* I've wiped the drips but I have an awful feeling that the drips may breed overnight and in the cold light of day tomorrow there will be loads of tear drops. My face may actually have loads of tear drops too.

    Oh well worse things happen at sea as they say.

    I've just fed the teen and chased him into the shower. When DO boys start to want to wash???

    By 15 mine would wash daily without instruction if that helps. DS3 is much better though and will need less prompting.

    Floors hoovered and mopped
    Bath cleaned
    WM x2 done - ironing this evening with DoI
    More tidying in the garden done
    Log store restocked but not sure the logs are actually ready to burn

    Need to do a little bit of online banking and then wipe the school shoes over.

    Evening,

    I've done didly squat this weekend. Went to the shops 'just for me' yesterday. Decided to walk with the buggy to blow out some cobwebs and treat myself for the first time in a very long time. 45 min walk to Primark each way. Bought some slightly more grown up clothes now that I'm in my 30's. Been wearing some things for 10 years now.

    Put a sack full of clothes in recycling on Friday, 2 bags of rubbish and 1 more of general recycling. I have one more cupboard then will check back what the list said about actual cleaning. The funny thing is on Monday I said this deep clean would be easy in the bedroom. I'm now dreading the living room.

    Tiny has been asleep in my bed for near on two hours now so no doubt wont be going to her bed anytime soon. Need to write a letter to big one so she gets it on Tuesday. With her absence I realised I one eat when OH is around, so today I have had a box of Jaffa cakes and some toast. Despite there being a cooked chicken in the fridge. Now have some rice on and will go eat like a good girl, then attack the last remaining cupboard.
  • DP Popped out. I'm which time I blitzed the kitchen. Bathed and fed both boys. So they are ready for bed. Moped the bathroom floor and cleaned bathroom. Tidied toys away. Unloaded and reloaded the dw.
    Phoned MIL to check she is still Ok to have baby 2moro ... and put hair colour stripper in my hair.... feel so much better after a good clean :) thanks all. Mentioned it to mother in law. I think she's pretty annoyed with her nephew. For the same reason they know I have battled with eating disorders in the past and still struggle on occasions now altho I'm now in control of it but it doesn't help with comments like his anyone that doesn't know me I manage to ignore it but when ppl do know me and know my past I seem to struggle to ignore and take it too heart. I feel much better now though :)

    Off to find something to do ... I say find something there's always something that needs doing here lol

    Catch you later .... hugs to all that need/want them xxx
