    Heartbroken again

    Hello again, I am reeling with shock today as my (serious) boyfriend of 6 months has decided to call it quits out of the blue. His reasons were that he could not cope with my divorce issues. He ended things on the phone in such a cold manner that I seriously wonder whether I ever knew this...

    Pg with Boy - or New Mom with Baby Boy

    I had my son Max nearly 16 months ago now but remember my skin being amazing throughout pregnancy! I take all old wives' tales with a huge pinch of salt I'm afraid!

    My boss is driving me insane - please help

    Thank you all so much for your advice which is very much appreciated. Sadly, my boss is the senior partner of the firm as well as being head of my dept. so there’s no-one to report him to. Neither can I move somewhere else within the firm. I will clearly need to think of coping strategies...

    My boss is driving me insane - please help

    Please help. I am so fed up of working with my boss. He never admits when he has made a mistake yet lands on me (and my colleagues) like a ton of bricks if we make a mistake. I am so fed up of the double standard and the hypocrisy. I have just been in tears with my secretary because of yet...

    Marital woes

    Dearest Cyclecat, Boy can I relate! I had been married to/with my ex for nearly 8 years. We started off very similar but grew apart. By the end, we hardly spent any time together. We tried everything including counselling several times. We were just too different. When I was 5 months...

    Internet relationships

    I met my BF online! I met my lovely BF online 5 months ago. We met after exchanging a few emails, long phone calls and exchanging photos. I would NEVER have considered the internet but a friend talked me into it and I thought, why not? We could not be better suited, everyone gets on well...

    Max is one!

    I cannot believe my baby's one this Thursday! This first year of his life has been a joy and a blessing. The time has literally flown by. I have also moved on since my separation and have started seeing someone - life is good and I have a lot to be grateful for. Anyone else have a baby...

    How Long Will It Take To Get the Weight Off?

    Depends on the individual I gained about 25 lbs with Max, lost all but 4/5 lbs within the first 2 weeks of having him and lost the rest once I started weaning. (3 months pp) By 7 weeks PP, no-one could believe I'd had a baby. Frankly, I would say this 2 year thing is nonsense! I had no...

    What are your iron levels???

    Well.... My iron's above 12 now but for a few months after having Max, it was at 7.9! I felt constantly drained no matter how sleep I got and did a blood test and was shocked by the results. My hair was REALLY thinning out and the palms of my hands were actually white (and I'm of African origin...

    Calling Sandi & Baby Ryan!!

    Max Hi Kaz, Haven't been here in ages since starting work a month ago. Just thought I'd report re. Max. He continues to thrive, is on 3 solid meals a day and loves his nursery. I'm back at work full time and it's challenging but manageable if I've slept. Max continues to be easy-going -...

    Is childbirth that bad?

    Fitstick, I too was like you before I had my son! I have always hated needles and pain full stop, although apparently have a high threshold for it. I didn’t worry too much about labour pain until I was very near the end and then I was petrified. When I finally went into labour, I was on my...

    Why are people so discouraging about motherhood?

    I think people definitely say these discouraging things to feel better about themselves. I am so fed up of it. There are a couple of secretaries at work who apparently prefer their pets to children and vehemently defend this - each to their own I guess. My son has brought me so much joy it is...

    Why are people so discouraging about motherhood?

    I am finding people so negative about children in general! I am having to unexpectedly bring my son up on my own since DH and I separated and it is incredibly challenging but I am so grateful for my little Max. Yet if I say that I am coping with working full time and being a single parent...
