    nice! :p Ed is feeding right now and there's a bit of a whiff so I'm hoping he's done something.

    my carpet is minging after the abuse from Chris so I don't put Ed on it, then again his mat isn't machine washable so I'd still end up scrubbing :(


    THANK YOU!! I'll be banishing the stupid wedge ASAP

    We got poop no.2 before he went to bed ;) Still looking like curdled milk though so his tummy still isn't right, poor lamb :(


    I think I may have sparked the banishing of many wedges :D

    That reminds me, I had to Google washing symbols (:o) yesterday to find out what to do with our play gym mat and turns out it's not machine washable. What can I use to clean it? :confused:
    I just use good old fashioned soapy water

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Wuuuuuuh. Held a barbecue this afternoon as a combined housewarming/first birthday for Elijah, last guests just left. It went great, very pleased indeed :) but I am knackered (and until this thread it would never have remotely occurred to me that that was a bad word! :eek:)! And so is Elijah, he went out like a light as soon as he was fed after they left - we do have some great pics of him ramming his birthday cake down his mouth though ;p

    Been a long weekend of final stages of settling into the new flat, tidying, building flatpack furniture items, mowing, strimming, weeding, pruning, marinading, baking, roasting, barbecuing... but I think it was worth it :) even after 15 people came visiting, the house is still in better shape than it was 2 days ago! Also significant amounts of steak and really excellent chocolate/cream/raspberry cake remaining :) so I think that's winning all round!

    This was the first time ever that E had entertained other babies at our house, and that went very well too, almost no toy-struggles, and even some cooperative play and exchanging coloured blocks and the like. We had 4 baby visitors although all a little older than him.

    Anyway, commiserations to the poop-less, congratulations to those who received their long-awaited poop, and status report please Caz!!!

    Well I've had a nice warm shower which has eased the pain. BF is out of the question Fritha because of the thrush as well, but im expressing slowly. Im not sure what way things will end,

    I agree with the dettol spray for the changing mat :T

    I think it might just be me who thinks so Bruno :o....although hubby and DSS's mum agreed with me that it is not a word that a 9 year old should be using :confused:


    Glad you had a good weekend.

    It's not the change mat - 'tis the fabric, kind of felt-like, mat which goes under the arches with toys on :)
