Ugh feeling really sensitive today
hormones making me think of stupid things and upsetting me
+1 to that
Have been lied to by both UPC and Tesco customer services in the past couple of weeks and have spent hours on the phone fighting with customer services.
I've been so stressed that I'm convinced I'm causing epigenetic changes to the baby and she'll turn out some kind of psycho..... And it's just having this knock on effect on my life too even when I'm just going about my day to day life. I'm trying to just do some calm breathing and look forward to our holidays but I'm just so stressed!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad:
Ok rant over. Time to find some pregnancy yoga.0 -

It is i got all sorts of crazy hormones earlier on in the pregnancy n I had to keep remembering that it's only the hormones even if it didn't feel like it sometimes! If you have a bad day, do something in the evening that makes you happy
Now for my moan, I'm on the bus home n it's either a girl eating crisps or the man beside me but there is an awful smell of cabbage, it's so rank I feel like puking
Also man beside me (age approx 50+) just stared an old fragile hunched woman out of it while she looked for a seat.. did he get up? Feck no! I afforded but someone else had already given her to a seat! Smelly rude man!0 -

It hurts to breath, it hurts to hiccup, it hurts to cry. This pregnancy has been non stop hell and I still have 3 months to go! I just cant take much more, Im fit to scream only I cant coz it'll hurt. How anyone can do this more than once is beyond me.
Sorry, just had to vent somewhere.
Have you seen the hospital physio? You should be able to make an appointment through the maternity unit. You shouldn't be in this much agony at 6 months. 0 -

No, this type of back pain is new, since Tuesday maybe. I went to bed fine but woke intermittently with the pain, each night it seems to be getting worse, and any time I lie down. I got a Dreamgenii pregnancy pillow yesterday in the hope it would help, but I fear that was €55 down the drain, I was in bits this morning.
It took about 2 hours of sitting up poker straight to get the pain to go, still hurts when I hiccup though. So fed up with pregnancy, its just been one thing after another; hyperemesis, which I still have but to a lesser extent, constipation, flu, chest infection, coldsores, sandpapered nipples and skin, ribs fit to crack, and now this. I havent felt like me since December and its taking all the joy out of my impending arrival. Pregnancy sucks, natural my arse. 0 -

Oh Pat, I really feel for you. Having small pregnancy complaints is annoying, but you really are having a horrible time of it altogether Please talk to your doc or the hospital, pregnancy is meant to be irritating, not agonisingly painful!
I was annoyed at coming to my MIL's last night and having a sore back and butt from her hard mattresses and not having extra pillows to try and make me comfy. And arguing with her over meals. (She wants to know what you will eat the whole time you are here. Planning meals for a few days time. Seriously, I haven't even decided what I will have with my cup of tea in a sec)0 -

Wolfpat, what is your MIL thinking! Planning your meals, ffs. I refuse to do that, pregnant or not!
I feel your pain re the uncomfy bed, everywhere just aches the next day. She's obviously forgotten what its like to be pregnant. That or she's just mean.
all she worries about is emptying her freezer. this morning at 9am at breakfast she wanted to know what we were having for dinner tomorrow. i wasn't even thinking about lunch today!
i am so bloody tired, even though all i have been doing today is drinking tea. i get so bored here and feel like i can't do anything. it's raining so i can't even get out of the house and i had 2 showers already today to try and keep me awake. roll on monday can't wait to get home. everything is worthy of comment and remark here. especially me and my clothes 0 -

Sorry now but what a b*tch. It may be time for you to have a pregnancy induced meltdown and go home early. :-) Im not the confrontational type but I just couldnt cope with her. Tears galore and embrace the hormones :-)
Back in bits again this morning, theres definitely something in my spine going out of alignment when I lie down so off to the doc for me tomorrow. Physio most likely on the cards. Labour will be a breeze after all this, lol!0 -

I am out of here tomorrow morning anyway. But she is going on the train up with me because apparently I need someone to hold my hand with a 4 year old child that is able to walk, a backpack and a baby car seat!:rolleyes: She just wants an excuse to go shopping! But she was talking about what sandwiches to bring up with us yesterday! Seriously, in our house I choose the dinner that will be cooked for 7 at 5 that day in Tesco/Dunnes! I don't plan ahead for food, most days himself comes home and he has no idea what is going to be landed in front of him! We like living like that. Here it's planned in advance and it is always one of Roast chicken, lamb chops, steak and salmon, guaranteed. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have expensive meats daily, but it's a bit mundane after a while. Never have I eaten anything else here, whether I am here a weekend or a month. same four meals. Er sure, one more day, that's all I have to repeat to myself. This time tomorrow I will be on the way to the train station. Sans daddy He still has to stay another while.
I know the back pain Pat. This bed is killing me, I actually woke in agony several times last night. I was fit to sleep on the couch, at least that has a bit of give to it. This bed is like a cement block and to add to my misery, I was being kicked by an annoyed baby who was less than impressed at my constant trying to settle last night, and I had a pair of feet in my back and stomping me as my small man decided to sleep next to me and was dreaming. Equal parts hilarious and agony. It will get better, it will get better!
Your right, your labour will be a breeze after all this, at least during that the pain is intermittent and you get breaks from it!0 -

I'm really hating my job right now. This morning I was called in to a meeting and told that someone had told one of the seniors that last week i said "ah yeah i fly through the reconciliations, i just keep pressing the space bar".. I was like, i didn't say anything like that, i don't even know what the space bar does to recs.. Anyway, the senior just said it was brought to her attention and that it just seemed like i was being lazy - because i gave her what i thought was a finished rec, but it was out by three grand but i'd spent 4-5 hours going through a whole years worth of figures on the bank statements last week comparing that to what's on our system, making sure nothing was entered twice or was a wrong amount. I missed out on three double entries in april and that was the three grand. but besides that, i have stayed late so much more than i need to, as i said, going through every single detail to make sure everything is correct, because if i'm asked why something is a certain why, i want to be able to explain why... but this morning i was told to get a print of it first thing, and obviously forgot there was a difference of that amount, and when i'm asked things on the spot, i get nervous and forget everything...
Also, the same woman rang me up and asked did i know how to do some sort of trial balance - i felt nervous/bad telling her no, but onyl realised afterwards, how the bloody hell would i know how to do a trial balance when I've never had to do a trial balance before. ever.
I'm just pissed off that yet again thy expect me to know something is takes other TRAINED accountants four years to learn.. The senior said "you've been doing the recs for months, you should know what you are doing". I was told the basics when shown what to do, that was it. They make me feel like i'm doing a bad job.
I couldn't even get any of this out because the water works decided to make a show. Only six weeks left, it seems like forever... 0 -

Oh Loubian, you're really having a horrible time work wise recently.
I am so bloody sore and worn out. For some reason unbeknownst to myself I did not bring the small guy to pre-school today. So had to head to Dun Laoighaire with him. missed two buses by about a minute because he tantrummed, and had to wait ages for another one. It happens, annoying, but it happens.
I get to DL and had to go through the usual degrading and humiliating process of signing on. Normally only took about 5 minutes thanks to my surname. Oh no, new system. About 300 people queuing for one of two desks. Queue half way up the street and everything. Insert another horrific 25 minute long tantrum here. So I finally silence him by carrying him. He is 4 and weighs 20kg. I have a low placenta and should not carry over a few kg. But from carrying him, I feel the horrible varicose vein getting more and more sore. After a while it is throbbing painfully. So it takes over an hour to get a thirty second job done, but I am told there is a note on my file concerning my pregnancy so to go to reception. Another queue there, thankfully only a few people long. There I am told I have to fill paperwork regarding my pregnancy and had to go to another hatch!!!! Waiting another 40 min there with some woman next to my huffing and tutting as though it makes the line go any faster. So the whole experience was about 2 hours long, me standing for most of it, my son getting more and more bored, so we get lunch in McDonalds since he was good minus the tantrums (I can't stand the smell of the place these days, but hell, he's only 4!)
Go to the ATM after that and the machine will not read my card, so I have to go in to withdraw money..... At lunchtime. Another 25 min long queue, thankfully I had ID with me and they gave me the money, but said my card was null and void and they sent me out another one, but they had the wrong address! I had to queue for the services desk after that. I seriously was fit to break down in tears. I also had a 15 min wait for the next bus home that miraculously was at 15mins for about 15 minutes! But got there in the end and got a seat. My legs are in bits, my nether regions have a nigh on audible pulse and my poor son wants to go out but I can barely stand let alone walk. And I need to do shopping. Took a shower to freshen myself up so feel a little better, but slumped in the most weird of positions so not to put pressure on the vein! I want my bed 0 -
