    She's just started taking an interest in the teddies, personally I think they are a bit boring but she finds them amusing!!

    I thought that...but I will take some video of how exciting Benjamin thinks they are and post it!! He thinks that they are the best thing ever!!!



    Edit: Can anyone tell I am procrastinating??? Supposed to be writing my tender again!!

    Thought I might as well pop over here as I seem to have graduated from the pregnancy thread. Liam is 9 days old today!

    Anyway, here is the little man:
    LIAM042-1.jpg

    awwww - he's lovely, and welcome :)
    BM - we had a similar argument here about a month or so. I think the trouble is that all the jobs we do around the house are things that men don't notice.

    With my current uni course, I've had to spend 2 Saturdays in Leeds and hubby was left at home with the children. I think that made him realise that it's not all sitting about doing nothing ;)

    His vice is his website. He's always got to publish stuff on it and everyone has to be silent when he's writing articles. It's not easy trying to keep three children silent and I don't see why they should have to be quiet to be honest :o
    Here I go again on my own....

    Well we've calmed down, almost through the sausage casserole off his noggin when he had the cheek to say "wheres my tea, I'm hungry" Can't believe the rubbish he comes out with, he wouldn't be on the PS3 so much if he got 1hour of UNINTERRUPTED play. What a load of bobbins. I don't get 5minutes of uninterupted anything, esp with him smacking his chops all through the night.

    Still a !!!! :)

    Now that sounds like a challenge to me. Let him have one hour of completely uninterrupted play a day...use this time to take yourself and LO to the park or to do something girly together so you get uninterrupted mummy time, then switch of the PS3 and hand LO over to OH. Then you can get some other stuff done (just a bit mind!!)


    My hubbys vice is his newspapers - one national and one local EVERY day and he reads them cover to cover. We haven't fought much since we had Benjamin but the one time I did blow it was about him reading his newspapers :o he had managed to read 2 every day, even when Benjamin was tiny!!
    TBH he is good most of the time, maybe not with the housework but he does like to spend time with the baby and give me a break :A

    Does anyone know if you can get cheaper chester zoo tickets anywhere right now?
    Thank You x

    ETA Actually just looked at the prices...I thought I remembered it being more expensive than that so it doesnt matter too much
    There's a free child with 2 full paying adults here, and some other vouchers...

    MFD - Glad your feeling better today. Is Benjamin better now? Our boys are always down stairs dot on 7am! They often wake up earlier than this, but clock-watch until 7am which is when they are allowed out of their beds. I would love to regularly get a lie-in, it just doesn't happen here:(

    Bruno - I have always found that once my boys were tired they had to go to bed...I couldn't put up with the tired whining from them. Typically they are ALWAYS up by 7am even when we have let them stay up till midnight:eek:
    Sounds exactly like Aimee! We put a digital clock in her room with strict instructions not to go downstairs before 7am... Doesn't stop her coming in our room every 10mins from 6am though...
    (I am supposed to be going on a beer bus for 9 hours :eek: on Sat so will prob need to pump and dump along the way)
    Will there be any drinking games you could donate your finest house white? lol

    OK, I had to google Craig Doyle... Not really my cup of tea... Steven Mulhearn would be mine...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    i would love some tickets could try and arrange a good day out for my first wage:D kids havent really done anything this summer so would be a real treat:D

    Hey Caz You would need the card so if you know someone with a spree book I would be more than happy to give you the vouchers if you can get hold of a card.
