johanne...I'm still feeding at 19 months with lots of teeth! If she bites I say ow fairly loudly and she lets go but then I'll stop feeding. She only does it when she's finished!

pigpen

finances sorted.. christmas has added £1000 to my overall debt already which I am hoping to have paid off by the end of February.. if it happens sooner.. bonus!

Best go feed the frogs!

hollyh -

Ds1 is in my bad books, he's opened and eaten half of the mini box of celebrations i'd bought to go in DsD's hamper:mad: :mad: :mad: . No pocket money this week i think

.

:oI've just finished the pick'n'mix my DD left on the coffee table. I'll go put myself on the naughty step right now.

Yay!!!! To Baby Pumpkin!!!!!

It's a lovely time Johanne. I remember my DD1's frst tooth....awwww bless! Thanks for sharing!

serena

Congratulations to pumpkin on your first tooth!:T

And to soappie on the recognition for what you do!!:T

DS1 is cooking bread rolls - they smell delicious! Apparently we're having homemade burgers and buns tonight. He's going to be a very well trained husband by the time I've finished with him. The fly-lady training is ongoing - but he's better at cooking than cleaning!

I've just found out we've won an 'Outstanding Contribution To Tourism' award from the local council! No - no money, just a certificate - but it's great that what we've done over the last 14 odd years has finally been publicly appreciated and acknowledged!

Congrats Soappie, you deserve it after all the hard work you were putting in at the time... :T :T :T :T

Thanks guys, you keeping making me laugh so much about this. It's keeping my chin up. I'm really split on it all... one half of me loves the challenge, and the other half of me wants to move back to Denial. It's such a warm and cosy place to live, and it's got a lovely river. :rolleyes:

Ooooh, I want to go to de nile - bit of a dirty river though - and I want to see the pyramids...:rotfl:

LO is home with me today, got her all ready for school but she started coughing like mad and was sick so took her to the doctors instead.

Hugs for your DD G&B - she's having quite a time lately isn't she (and you too...) hope she feels better soon :A

Aaaah, bless - I remember those jaggy little teeth poking through... so cute as they smile..

No flying to report, sorry I have let the side down.

What side have you let down? Certainly not us... You need to sort your life and daughter out above all else, including housework (that I am sure will be there waiting for you when you get a chance) and so will we...
I have had my share of moans and upsets on here as have others - it is a lovely, wonderful bunch of ladies on here (and a couple of gents) who help and support each other when it is needed - you need to spend your time sorting yourself out and just know that we are here for you if you need us... :A

Hugs Triker - you have been having a bit of a time of it of late haven't you - I hope you are able to recharge your batteries this weekend and get some semblance of your life in order - take up Pigpens offer and get yourself out for some 'me' time - you sound like you need it, then get the 'troops' in order and boss them about all weekend to get the house sorted (that ALWAYS works for me, a good bit of bossing around!:D ) Huggs to you hun x :A

but at 19 months would you be able to buy a rear facing seat that would last for very long ? (I doubt it).

She's only just got to over 9kg :rotfl: Most of her clothes are 9-12mths and 12-18mth [:D] She has a few summer dresses that she was given for her age over summer and never actually got to wear them because they swamp her. We've bought her one though and she looks dinky in it. Unfortunately it only fits on the front seat in our old car which is a pain. Can't even put it on the side at the back as the buckles come too high. But it had to be one that can be used with a lapbelt on the big car for when we go away.

Well I've done nothing this afternoon. Was feeling funny when we were out today so I went to bed when we came home and I've only got up about 20 minutes ago Supposed to be going out this evening to the pub and before that to the NCT suitcase sale.

Need energy! Anyway going to see if I can put the dishwasher on at least, and I just hear a car so Mr G and the rabble are back!

Just back from Woolies!!! Very sad, and nostalgic. I can't believe it could ever close!!! :eek: I'm hoping for a buyer. The staff looked really sad... and I guess it must be dreadful for them... facing redundancy. Terrible at any time, but awful at Christmas.

It almost stopped me being pleased at picking up some bargain pressies for the children.... almost!

However, I've got more than enough this week to have a takeaway for tea! :j

Oh you on a budget? and is the budget still on despite the chrissy shopping SS?
What takeout you having?

Might be time to reassess the fact im still breastfeeding though....

It could start getting painful :think: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Great News (I breastfed DD until she was about 18 months although by the end it was very sporadic. She never, ever had a bottle - DS did - what a faff it was too. He was b/fed up to about 6 months)

Thanks for all the advice re DD
Have found effervescent soluble paracetamol (they are HUGE) and dissolve completely and she has had one (500mg we'll see how she does). She has announced her intention not to go to school on Monday and has been told she IS going. Mind you she has been greatly cheered up by a visit to Peacocks with a 40% staff event voucher I was given and now has slippers which cost £1.80 as I won't let her have the slippers intended for an xmas gift yet, new socks, new pjs and a bomber jacket. I have new jumpers...I work in a cold Victorian building...

Zoey (((hugs)) you know where we are if you want to come and let off steam... well done for telling teacher. Even if DD isn't directly involved there will be stress at home she may pick up on...
