I'm here quickly SM!!

Just turned my slow cookers off although my beef madras sauce is a bit runny than I would like. Will portion it all up in a bit and then it should be cool enough for freezer when I come down for next feed.

Keep meaning to say, I've really hurt my wrist can't use it to support myself when getting up and really awkward to feed & wind Jack. Might need to take some painkillers!

Right, better go now soz SM for the flying visit.

Elle - big squidgy hugs for you, OH & Rhys. Will be thinking of you all tomorrow xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just bobbing back in
Tia that is pants! I got hacked and lost out because they took it in $'s and the exchange rate changed :mad: I hate paypal they have a monopoly and they're crap!

Everyone needs to change passwords often make sure you have good ones ie. With numbers and letters and quite random. Never use the same password for eBay as paypal and don't tell ur pc to remember ur passwords

glam: get your wrist checked, RSI in the wrist is common in mummies from repeatedly picking up their babies x

Ohhhhhhhhh my poor baby has been bitten on her little cheek by whatever's been biting me

I hate myself for not putting a mosquito net up.

Just catching up but haven't read everything so forgive me if this has already been mentioned but if you appoint someone as guardian for your children in your will it doesn't mean they personally have to be the one raising the child (they just have to make the decisions) so if you're unsure who would be suitable given there's a large time range when it might be necessary and you don't know what situation other people might be in say ten years time, you can name someone in your will who would then have the responsibilty of choosing someone suitable at the time should the need ever arise.

May I please ask another question?

Some people set up a statement of preferred guardianship of their children, should anything awful happen. May I ask if any of you have done this, who you picked and how formally you did it (ie is it written down or did you just ask them.... or sommat else?

We're pretty clear what we'd want, but just intrigued what others are doing/have done

We have named one couple and then another couple if they are unable/unwilling for whatever reason and then some people to appoint someone suitable if neither of those two options are viable. (Obviously if we know at some stage thathe first two options are unviable then we will change our will but it probides a backup in case we haven't.) We don't have any suitable close family so we have chosen friends.

Fritha - some of that stuff is lovely! I need a little girl to spoil!
A little girl that Benjamin was eyeing up when we went out for lunch today was wearing baby Uggs!!! Too cute!

I agree, and I am often having thoughts like this. At the car boot ysterday a woman had a stash of beeeyooootiful little monsoon dresses. And I'm muttering under my breath to DH 5 weeks to go, don't let me look, don't let me look.

Then I had to explain it all to him: why little dresses are so cute and what was happening in 5 weeks time!!!

It's not like it was ages ago we did this before :rotfl:

Anyhow I'm restraining myself (for 5 weeks) :D

ETA I look away when I see bugaboos (Really don't like them) and I've got a quinny so I always notice them! I won't tell you it was OH who counted the stokkes cos he thinks they are only bought by people with more money than sense.

Am I the only one that slightly giggles about the name 'quinny'? Sorry MM, the prams are beautiful.

But if anyone did Chaucer at 'A' level they'll know that quinny is the original derivative of the horrid 'C' word.

Sorry if I've told this before, but me and DH do giggle when we are at mum and baby things and women say to other women 'oh I love your quinny' or most hilariously 'my quinny is so lovely and roomy'.

elle have a good day, I'm thinking of you both

Hugs Feelie. We're here if you need us. Tobes is a credit to you and he sees and feels your strength in handling stuff too, so not to worry if you have a wobbly day. It's normal for babies to see sad mummies, angry mummies, eating too much cheesecake mummies... Emotions are real and ok.

I know you know that

Thank you all very much on the legal guardian thing and weekly activities thing, all very useful.
