!!!!!! twice i have typed a post and for some reason my connection goes stupid and can't display the page.

okay, here goes again ....

just wanted hi to all. i haven't been posting but i have been reading, just haven't felt i can contribute anything useful as we are having up and down days here.

we have some success on the sleeping front now that we are having solids every night (we have had only few bad nights). i am still nursing to sleep as i feel my first priority is to get her to have a good nights sleep and then i will tackle how she goes to sleep.

during the day is a different story. she is so bad for me when we are out. she just wont go to sleep in the stroller when she is soooooo tired. this then results in her crying/screaming/squeeling all the way around town. i have been going out every day to keep trying but today ended up with me in tears in one of the baby rooms. i really think she doesn't like me very much at times when she is like that.

mfd --- butternut squash ... we call this pumpkin back home and usually have it baked (as it can go to mush if over boiled - although steamed is nice) with a roast. i agree though that it can be a pain in the backside to prepare.

Have you seen any of the bbc3 show young dumb and living off mum? :eek: they would need to look up those words!

I love this programme - reminds me this weeks episode is on the sky+. It really made me laugh the other week when the blonde girl was trying to make pea soup using a sieve and a spoon to squash the peas through.

HMy problem this time is that during the pre-C-section part of giving birth (the bit with the 12 hours of labour) I acquired a princely set of piles and now I can't poop. How to fix this when all the shops have closed for a public holiday and shortly after they did I ended up in horrible pain?

I had a really nasty set of piles and nothing over the counter would shift them. I ended up getting a prescription for some suppositories and they cleared them up really quickly. The pain was unreal. Have you got a walk in centre or on call doctor that could give you a prescription over the weekend?

Does anyone else's toddlers have little things that they like to do?
DD self imposed chores are:
Feeding the animals (3 cats 1 dog)
Switching on the washing machine & dishwasher
Getting things out of the fridge when I'm cooking
Helping to unpack the supermarket shopping.

Charlotte helps loads. She's got her own mop, brush and dusters and helps with the cleaning, and she likes carrying the shopping in from the car and putting it away. I do shop and scan, so she gets the scanner and helps scan the shopping too.

Bob gets a cod liver oil tablet in a morning, and she always asks for that to give him, then she puts his bowl of food down on the floor.

Everytime I click the kettle on, she's straight in the fridge getting the milk out for me.

Sometimes she's a bit overly helpful though, like helping to pull my knickers back up when I've been to the loo Or once she flushed it for me, but I hadn't finished and was still sitting on it

We're home!! And it looks like Amber is having her first bottle feed of EBM cos I just expressed (didn't realise the time) and now she is awake for a feed.

Pleased to hear you are home safely

Baby food - I didn't bother with baby food. I cook from scratch most nights, so just gave Charlotte whatever we were having. She's pretty good and eats most things, but loves anything hot and spicy. She announced loudly in Tesco this morning that she wanted a nice pasta arrabiata, which made people look at her :rotfl:

Anyone noticed the pampers sensitive wipes bring your LO's out in a rash? Took me a while to click, as I thought it was her nappies giving her a red bum, but now they have been mostly eliminated, I realised it's the wipes, they are fine for wiping her face/hands, but if I give her bum/upper legs a wipe with them, she breaks out in what looks like a blotchy red rash.

Don't get that problem with the normal ones or the extra sensitive? I think they are extra sensitive, can't remember but they smell loooooovely!

Just had a horrible few hours, she would not even taste the spaghetti, shouting and taking paddys, must admit I lost my temper and sent her to her bed, where I could here her crying and forcing herself to cough, obv trying to make herself sick, I know that trick, did it myself as a kid!

So she's fast asleep now, and hasn't eaten a thing since about 3pm. Great! This morning she woke us up at 4am because she was hungry, so OH made her some food - a bun with chocolate spread? !!!!!!! Oh and I looked at the buns this morning and they were green and furry - Feel sick knowing she probs ate that, he is a douche.

Loving the use of douche!!
I have started to refuse to make a 2nd meal for Chris but he always has a cup of milk before bed so I feel like he's got somethnig in his tum

I LOVE Charlotte

I am making sure that everything I make has lumps in it...I am not going down the 'baby won't eat lumps' route!!!

We had a few choking kind of motions today but that's normal - I just kept talking to him and he sorted himself out

Cup of milk sounds good except she won't drink it. Not sure if that's my fault or not, we kept her on the follow on milk instead of cows milk to drink until she was 2......(she got cows in her cereal) I figured there was most vitamins and minerals in the follow on than cow juice, now she won't drink it at all. I even bought nesquick milkshake powder to add to milk, and she still won't drink it? She loves sweet things (too much!) so maybe she just doesn't like the taste of milk? I must admit I find it pretty vile unless it's in my cereal too.

Charlotte sounds so funny Beccles, Keira likes helping do the dishes, so I let her wash her paint pots, she likes to stir things and throw the chopped veg in the pans etc, still won't eat it though.

One time, I was going out, and was about to put on 3/4 trousers, but realised I had stubbly legs, so I was stark naked and had my legs leaning against the loo, to shave the bottom (no-one would see above!) and i felt this awful sensation, she was standing behind me trying to pull my tampon out, pulling the string :eek:

She has also been found with a tampon trying to poke it up her backside.....

This is why I need a lock on the toilet, she sees WAY too much!
