Sorry so many other people seem to be having struggles with LOs just now! Maybe it's the phase of the moon or something

How funny! It was a full moon on 7th July. I remember thinking last month when we were all moaning about our lo's that it was a full moon! :eek:

Mum works in a junior school, and she is positive the children are (more) horrible at full moon time. And Uncle works in a prison and says there is much more trouble at full moon time.

So maybe we are all lunatics! (Be prepared for 6th August - make yourselves scarce and get oh's to babysit!)

Sorry bruno (by the way are you prepared for the jokes when the film "bruno" opens 2mo?) when you post I get jealous of your OH because you are so supportive and actually have a clue what LO is doing! My OH barely remembers the boys birthdays nevermind how they feed, sleep etc.

Lol thanks both I admit to sometimes wishing I was more like some of the partners referenced on this thread, so that I had more time for beer and computer games ;p

Yes, all too ready for the damn film at least he has an umlaut, I have no umlaut, that should be enough to tell us apart I hope... bah. I liked Borat, I expect this'll be pretty funny too.

Yep - I think this is worth tracking! Something is clearly going on!

I'm sat here singing 'Wind the bobbin up' but I have no children at home! :eek::rotfl:. Too much Jo Jingles enjoyment I fear...

I've have had to skim through as lots of pages to catch up on .

Can't remember all that I wanted to say (too busy singing! ). Oh yes, I'm a routine mummy! We have key words and actions which link to what is going to happen next. It worked for me and Poppy so Jamie is getting the same treatment and its working for him too (thus far, she says with fingers x'd!).

Interesting lunar theory! We'll have to monitor it.

I got things to post from the royal mail thing today, lots of promising developmments here

Chris is going to stay at Gma's fri night so i'm spending my toddlerless time sorting my tax as i'm SE and still I've not done child benefit and tax credits. I don't know where anything is because my sis sorted it for me - very nice of her but I knew where everything was in the "mess"

MFD, Krystal et. al. you haven't had any problems in the mids. have you? I'm yet to venture into proper public feeding here in the NW

Considering I have breastfed for a combined total of 3yrs 1 month... I have never had a negative comment or felt I should stop! The militant in me really wants someone to say something so I can challenge them lol...

You sound like a girl after my own heart! I've only just agreed to constant monitoring during this labour as the consultant said it won't restrict my movement. (I know there's an increaseed chance of another c-section but I'm willing to risk it). My birth plan actually says that if at any point I find the monitoring getting in my way then I'll just take it off. When my MW read my birth plan she just smiled and said, "That's a big step for you to agree to the monitoring. Well done." :rolleyes:

I found that with the belts on, even though they let me get up and move it was a nuisance because the heartbeat kept disapearing / dropping... Once they broke my waters and clipped her head it was fine, I could get up and move around with that... Although couldn't go off to the toilet...

Oh, and SIL must read this thread as she has now asked to long term 'borrow' the Silver X after me mentioning selling it last week! . Feel too mean to say no :rolleyes:.
