Hello, I am Annie...

Awwhhhhh... you're welcome Annie, and by the way, you're such a sweet mom !!!
Well, if I were you, I wouldn't go back there. No matter how hard people would ask me to go there, I will not now and will not ever going back there. It's good that you're not smoking because it is a very bad example. Besides, keeping your Rhory healthy is actually very good. You're a wise mother Annie, you made the right decision. And I disagree that husbands are not allowed to follow because it is family bonding time, they actually should let husbands follow. I like the way you think Annie, walking in the park with your little precious gift from God is much much more better than going out with those kind of moms.

I'm glad that you're taking Rhory to the baby's library soon because that could let him make more friends and you can meet other moms and maybe, this time the moms are not like those moms you told me, they are just not right to be moms, it's really wrong.

Annie, you're a great mother! You're very wise, mature, lovely, kind and a very caring mother who wants her son to have a bright future. You're not being silly, in a matter of factly, you're being FAR FAR AWAY from silly. You're just doing what moms are suppose to do. I understand what you feel about Rhory being your first baby. Feeling unsure whether you should do it or not, but hun, you're already going on the right path. You're an intelligent mother Annie, you're how a mother's suppose to be, feel and act. You're you and be happy that way because a lot of people are begging to get on your place you know. You know why ? Because Rhory is what makes you strong. Some kids are not like Rhory, some are just really really wrong and Rhory is definitely not one of them. (:

Personally, to me, I would choose to get a puppy. I find cats are more vicious and are not as loyal as dogs are. When Rhory squeals when you make woffy noises is because he has this special place in his heart with pets. He must be a pet lover and I'm sure of it. Well, you have to teach Rhory to not bite the dog's nose first with the Andrex puppy first then get a dog because if not, I'm scared that you might be risking your son's health.. Dog's saliva aren't exactly healthy you know.. (:

My brother had a westie, he named it Libra and boy is she really adorable!! Any who, I would still recommend you to get a pet dog because rabbit's poop are really smelly. Their cages could get dirty easily and once they poop in it, you have to wash the whole cage again because it seriously stinks, well that's what I heard from my cousin because she once had a pet rabbit. A pet dog is actually the best idea (:

Hey, I feel kinda old now.. hahaha... guess how many years old am I, but once you guessed it, please don't lose trust on me.

Good luck with you and your son's day at the library soon. Update on how did you and your baby's day go (: I will surely read it.

Have a nice day!!!

Much love,
Joanne

Hi Joanne and Karen.

Joanne, thank you for calling me a sweet mum. It's actually made my day. I'm not going to go back to baby group. It's sad I can't though but I have other ways to be able to show him how to have fun and be a chilled out baby. I've never known anything like it. He's been so contented since birth, minus the colic. That was a bad few months but we got through it with lots of cuddles, some tears, countless walks and tummy rubbing :) I have smoked before but younger and I stopped two years ago but when I was pregnant I suddenly detested smokers and would tell people to stop smoking around me, I was that terrified of harming Rhory. I think it was because I thought I lost him at 7 weeks pregnant but turned out I had a severe bladder infection and had to be monitored throughout. When I saw his little heartbeat on the monitor, I cried with relief and called him my 'lil' waspy'. He looked like a little wasp.....glad he wasn't an actual wasp though....ouch! I try to be a wise and mature person. Although sometimes, when I'm with my bestie, we act like teens but in turn it makes Rhory giggle because we act all silly and funny and sing all the CBeebies tunes. He loves Tree Fu Tom and Zingazinga tales :) Partners do need to be involved more in a baby's life. Even my health visitor ignores him. It's very stereotypical still round here....the man works, the woman looks after the child. He has been my rock and not being in work, he has made such a brilliant dad to Rhory. He loves his cuddles and playtime and he loves my cuddles and bedtime.

Well I have a doubt that the same mums go there too so I'm nervous to take him but if I can't do it, I'll still take him maybe in the morning and show him all the books and ask my bestie to bring her nieces. Or if all fails, I can ask my cousin to bring her baby over and let them both play. Rhory's only seen her a couple of times but the first time they met, he held her hand and they nearly kissed. Me and my cousin got the phones out and took those memorable pictures! Totally a squealing moment for us both.

Aww thank you for all of your kind words, Joanne. I am totally speechless. And yes, Rhory is a total gem, although tonight he was a little rascal and kept cooing and giggling in his cot when he was meant to be going to sleep. That boy is going to be a bonkers, hyper child when he's older......just like his mummy :D

I shall have to think about getting a puppy then because to be honest Rhory is teething and so everything goes into his mouth. Maybe we'll not get one yet until he's stopped teething and like Karen said, they can be a handful. I used to have two collies, Chip and Ollie and they were bonkers haha but lovely. Westies are cute and cuddly!

Ummm, see you seem a wise soul too. Maybe you are in your early thirties but I could be totally wrong. Twenties, alike me? Aww, I feel totally guilty now just in case you're younger.

I will certainly update you hunny. Hopefully it will go well.

Karen, I shall have to look croquet up and have a go at it. My fiance can cross stitch, although I cannot do it to save my life but I can sew. Weird, isn't it?

I'm a dog lover too, although I do love the wildlife too. Especially foxes. They are beautiful creatures.

You have a brilliant day too (It's been a better day for me today) and drink plenty of water to keep cool. Rhory is in his cot now, sleeping so my time to tidy up some and sit down with a cuppa and a choccy biccy before bed. Those choccy biccies......nom nom!! I swear blind they have a mouth and say, 'Eat me, eat me!' all the time haha!

Annie.

Howdy doo Annie!

Wow, your Rhory's gonna be a wild and crazy chipmunk when he wakes up! hahaha... active babies are always fun to play with :p

I see that you're actually feeling better. Wait... I cannot see but can read that your feeling better! Yepp... That's pretty much correct (:

Ouch, that must've been hard for you... I'm glad that you are doing good as the time passes and so does Rhory (:

Do what you want Annie, do what you're comfortable with. Do the things that you're confident with. Oh, and I almost forgot... You're very welcome :D
To me, you're not over protective.. You're just simply taking care of you and your little angel's health really well. I'm also glad that you've stopped smoking though, it's really bad for you... and people around you.

It's okay to be childish around your bestie (: Trust me, my brother's 23 and married but he's extremely childish. He still likes to play games, but toys for fun, figuring out smart funny remarks all the time. It always makes me laugh. I think you're quite mature already (:

Uhh... I'm actually 13. Is that a good thing or a bad thing.. I always act silly in front of my bestie. hehehe.

Keep on posting Annie and have a brilliant day!!!

Much love,
Joanne

Hi Joanne,

He was actually lazy today. 10.15am to be exact he woke up! I love days like that. It tells me he is so chilled and loves his lie ins but once he's awake and going, blimey does he go for it but I love it :)

I rest assure I'm feeling better today. It's usually triggers that set me off but being in the house, I've been fine and tidying up whilst my fiance's been playing peekaboo with Rhory.

Oh I'm totally glad I quit all those years ago. My fiance's friend is the same age as us and he suffers repeated collapsed lung, probably because he's so active, tall and skinny but he smokes tonnes. So I'm glad.

It's cool to be silly when you're young. It's cool to be silly when you're older too. My mother is a silly sausage most of the time and bonkers but that's what I love about her.

I would never have thought you was thirteen. You are so mature for your age but I can see you've got that fun streak in your heart too :)

I hope you have a fantastic day too. Have you got any plans today? I'm doing a bit of mad tidying, as I have OCD (but not so bad I worry about Rhory with a slight germ or speck of dust.....I just get annoyed with dirt and dirty rooms) :( but once everything is spotless, we're going to go out and go through the countryside. And it's a lovely day for it too. Blue skies and sunshine.

Annie.

Joanne, what is instigram? Is it with phone or computer?

Annie, I am a little worried about the stalker. Keep your eyes open and stay safe.

I hope you both have a good day today!!!!

I am so happy that you are so happy with Rhory Annie. You are a good mom. Isn't she Joanne?? You two gel good together with your posts. Keep up the good work both of you...

Many gentle hugs, Karen...

Heyyooo Annie !
You're like checking in this forum every five minutes! At least I have someone to talk to at the moment (:

And thank you Annie, although I don't get detentions.. I get dimerits, and I got quite a lot of em this year, hehe... I'm a naughty kid aren't I ? Oh well.

I like silly toddlers!!! They're full of entertainment and full of joy, not to forget, hilarious too !!! Silly sausages are the new deals for being cool joe, hehehe... Oh, he will be naughty alright! Naughty but dashing. I bet he's the perfect silly sausage that you'll ever find, including your fiance and bff too.

It's okay. Instagram is quite fun but if you're not really this electro gal, it's fine (: I'm kinda outdated on facts, musics and so on too.

Ooooohh I hope that that guy would just go away. But God would protect you guys and keep you and your family safe (:

Once again, thanks. I'm really touched !! :-D You're an awesome gal to talk too yah know :) I'm begining to act kinda silly and immature again.. hope I don't gor crazy wild!!! Hahaha..

Have a great time Annie!!!

Much love,
Joanne

hey again Annie,
I'm not feeling that tired now but for some reason, I'm craving for cheese now >.< Great... Now I have to walk all the way from my room to the kitchen.

Ohhhhh, so that's why you're always online :p silly me...

Awh, maybe he's just tired today. I have days when I feel tired and just want to go straight to bed. I once played badminton with my friends for 3 whole hours and I ended up having an achey shoulder the next day. But some days, I just feel tired for no reason. I guess that's Rhory's case right now or there's also a chance that Rhory wasn't able to sleep last night and is exhausted now.

How about you ask your mom to help you buy a house around there ? Or you could save up more and buy a house somewhere around there. I once had a neighbor who's always mad at my family for on-ing the car's engine for a while in the house. She once wrote a letter to my house with red pen. That's just really disrespectful.

I hope that you would be able to buy a house around your mother's neighborhood somehow. Wish you the bext of luck for that :)

Your daydreams could always come true in the future (: Just keep your hopes up and never give up. You're a great mother Annie :-D

Much love,
Joanne

Hi Karen,

That sounds like fun! I always wanted to learn how to crochet something... Anything!!!

Good luck Karen, and I did had a great day, awesome actually.

Have an awesome day Annie, Karen!

Much love,
Joanne

Hi Annie,
wow, that is really really harsh.

Well, since I'm only 13, I know not much about business and all of those stuff, but what I know is that you're a good mother.

Don't feel like a failure, you're far from failure and you know it. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you about the business thingies but I know that you shouldn't be having negative thoughts, negative feelings and feel like such a failure.

Once you're already having negative thoughts/feelings and all, it's hard to concentrate on the tribunal. Think positive Annie, what if it doesn't affect badly or at all ? Don't think things that are negative, you should encourage your fiance and concentrate on the thing that is really important yet in front of both your noses right now.

Stressing out is going to effect lots of problems and I think it's best to calm down, take a deep breath and face the battle. You and your fiance will surely beat this, You, your fiance and of course little Rhory.

Things that are unexpected is when you expect it the least. I'm sure you guys will pull through this together and just so you know, I'll be right behind your back if you need help with emotional things, and I'll encourage you and help you build the confidence that you need.

I'm sorry if I'm not much of a helper now, I really am. ):

I hope that things would get better between all of you, pray to God.

Much love,
Joanne

Hi Karen and Joanne,

We've been paid tonight so we've just done an Asda shop. It came to £30 for a two week shop so we should be ok. Thank you both for caring.

It scared us really badly. We're still going to tribunal against them. We are still owed the 40% we lost.

I can breathe now :)

Sorry for being flappy today. It's a big burden have when you just want to make sure your little one is safe. Speaking of the little one. I've just put him to bed after his feed and he's sleeping. He watched two episodes of Postman Pat. It's his craze before bedtime. I've never known a baby to love it so much.

Hope you are both doing and feeling well. I feel a little better now, so off to chill and go to bed in a couple of hours. I might even get a little shoulder massage if I'm, lucky :)

Annie.

I totally forgot to ask him. I was just doing some moderation on a website, when I remembered about it. He just read my post and went, "Awww, you wanted a massage sweetie? Why didn't you say?" :) Looks like I'll be getting one. Lovely jubbley!

What are you having for supper Karen? We cooked up some Asda value noodles for our tea. Real nice after a hard day looking after a baby :P Only kidding, it was just lovely to have it and feel relaxed our shopping will come tomorrow.

We wont. Actually my fiance's dad told us, they have broken the law by reducing our pay. It's the law we legally are allowed to have a certain amount of money per week and by reducing it by 40%, it has actually become illegal because we cannot afford to live now. It's pretty much gone our way and we can take them to court and sue them if we so wished; not that I am a sueing type of person but if the government have broken their own law with us and millions of other people in the UK........wow!!!!!

By the way, I don't know what your opinions are on the Syria issue but I totally sobbed my heart out when I saw all those children axphixiating and fitting on the news and the animals suffocating too.......I am a devoted animal lover!! I just wanted to say, all the love in the world and compassion for those who suffered and died in the Syria attack :'( R.I.P to all of those who died in vain!! <3

Much love to all today and take care. We need to take care of each other, all of the world.

Annie.

Hey there Annie,
Nice to know that you're off the hook of being critically out of money (:
I'm having a good day actually and happier that you're not on grave danger now. You're not a burden to any of us Annie, if I'm experiencing that, I'd be super freaked out, perhaps way more freaked out than you do.

Thank goodness that everything is starting to look good.

Hope that you're having a peaceful night's sleep Annie!

Much love,
Joanne
