    What?! There's no such thing!

    Good heavens above Celia keeps having a bash at walking! She manages one wobbly step then has to grab something but blimming heck!

    Well done Celia! She'll be off before you know it. :T

    And Ladybird, well done Izzy for trying to crawl. (Izzy is the baby I follow (not in a stalker way), because what she's up to now, i can prepare myself for in a months time! :rotfl:

    Random thought from me (us usual) I've jus decided if things ever go wrong with hubby James Martin would be a fab hubby :p he's handsome, can dance, northern and cooks yummy food :)

    I wouldn't say no to James Martin, but i'd prefer Phil Vickery if he ever gets fed up with Fern.
    button heres what you do the next time he ignores you and hes not near his beloved PS3 ... format the harddrive wipe everything ... then give him the hoover and say ive learnt to use your toys now you learn to use mine :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:x

    EDIT: always NMS very adorable little one you have there :D x

    Searching - would that also work with the Xbox? (I actually hid his controller the other day and he's not asked/noticed yet!) :rotfl:

    Buttons - Have you thought about writing down exactly what you wrote on here today? We had a bit of a crisis a couple of weeks ago, and I had so many things to say to him, but I knew if I tried to explain myself, i'd forget half of it - so after the initial row, i left him a three page note about how I was feeling! It seemed to work as he actually had to sit and read - without butting in!

    Before the baby came along - he was p1ssing me off with his lack of cleaning. The only thing he cleaned was his beloved car. :mad: So, after hinting and nagging about picking stuff up didn't work - i moved his floordrobe and the can's he'd left on the side in the kitchen, into the passenger seat of his car! :rotfl:

    And NMS - he's adorable. Welcome. :T

    Anyway, here is the little man:

    Hello and welcome he is sooo cute.

    Oh Sami I hate it when you get to that stage (((((hugs))))

    I'm sur she'll be fine honey, if she won't take milk is she eating well enough that OH can just give her a bit more food?
    when are you next working? if your worried can you put of starting the tabs until 2mo night (if you feel that's a good idea?)

    my chest hurts, all Ed does when he's upset is rub, wiggle and scratch and I'm quite boney so theres no cushioning and its really getting sore. humpf

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    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.

    It sounds like you (and probably him!) need to cool down before you will be able to have a rational conversation about this. (Not having a go, just sounds like you are very :mad:, so if you are anything like me, anything you try and say will come out wrong, and anything he says will make you even crosser ;) ) Can you take your book off into a relaxing bubble bath or something after baby is in bed tonight?

    I really do understand where people are coming from on this and I'm not claiming some sort of sexual equality offence here or anything, but oh my god I feel the same (inverted) way at the moment; doing half the housework, all the shopping, all the cooking, going to work, then coming back to give Elijah supper and look after him for an hour because OH needs a break. When work is stressful I am in danger of burning out.

    So, beers or drinks of your choice all round, unwind whenever you have the chance! :beer:

    Yay Celia :) she's a few weeks ahead of Elijah on this one, E is 7 weeks older than her but has only been cruising and doing the one-step-and-fall-over thing for a fortnight or so :p they'll be walking very soon and won't that be lovely! :rolleyes:

    Caz :( what a shame Erin feels bad. Would work be understanding if OH appeared with sick baby and you had to sneak out to the car to feed her for 15 mins, d'you think? You shouldn't be regretting the job, just applying for and getting it was a great success, and getting money you need is really excellent too.
    Are the side effects of the tablets things you're actually experiencing already? Or are you just reading scary warning labels...? Those things are terrifying but they talk about stuff that 1 person in 10,000 gets sometimes... You'll be ok tomorrow, just make sure things are as sorted as they can be for Erin and try to remember how much good you're doing!
