    Krystal - you are breaking the skin of the blueberries aren't you? I always worry with berries with a hard skin that they could form a seal and baby could choke.


    ETA - that's why we did pincer grip with cheerios LOL
    :othis made me laugh. I do love how the relaxed parent that is MFD swings completely to not at all relaxed occasionally :D
    LOL - my assistant just circulated this email:

    Hello All

    Just to confirm and explain we are doing Secret Santa with a twist. The rules are as follows:
    • You all need to buy a gift to the maximum value of £10.00 – this can be as comical as you like!!!!
    • All gifts need to be in the office by Thursday 17 December 2009 at the latest and wrapped.
    • Prior to us finishing up on Thursday we will meet downstairs and everybody will pick a number out of the hat (1-14)
    • The person who picks number 1 will then choose a present and open it
    • The person who has number 2 then has the option of taking number 1’s present or selecting their own.
    • If number 1’s present is selected the person with number 1 selects another present
    • The person with number 3 then gets to choose if they take number 1’s or 2’s present or choose their own
    And so on and so on and so on!!!!!!!


    Sounds like mayhem :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    ooh I love it!!

    Morning Fitzio- how are things?

    Harley - I missed baby massage too yesterday cos I felt like death! Was really disappointed to cos I look forward to it all week!

    Weezl- Don't over think the bus thing! Someone will help you or the driver will tell you how to get on! Just smile and look a bit helpless

    MM- Hope Dylan is improving x

    Hi Csh!

    Things are good thanks. I am jealous of you and Harley going to Baby Massage. There are huge waiting lists here so no idea when I will get to go. I did look up some videos on You Tube though to get an idea so I could do it at home anyway. I think it helped with Holly's wind a bit, but this week's miraculous cure has been Colief. She is rarely screaming in pain when trying to pass wind and has been more regular with her poos (good for her, not so good for me!).

    How is Kieren? Is he really teething already? Poor thing. I am dreading it - Holly has been such a dream baby. I won't know what to do if she starts crying during the night. She is still sleeping a good 8-10 hours. HV was out yesterday discussing weaning so something new to look forward to.

    SS - hope your husband isn't back in hospital for long.

    Weezl - good luck with the bus journey. I am not even brave enough to go on the train yet!

    I have just been lurking a bit lately - no chance of keeping up, and can't find the time/inclination to post much. Just wondered though - where is Elle? She is normally on all the time, so noticed she had not been on for a few days. Did I miss something?

    ETA - Carla - keep the clothes, you need to treat yourself too! £30 is pretty good for jeans and a top! I have hardly any clothes that fit me anymore so need to go shopping soon too (on my own so I can try things on!).

    oh I forgot yesterday Carla - I got a selection of Christmas cutters in tesco last year

    Maz, you got any lactulose?

    Well I have to sign off now to make sure I'mm ready to go at 11:30 but I just need to share; I feel like crying :( Christopher has turned into a horrible demon child this week and it's rally upsetting me. He has ripped a massive piece of wall paper off in our bedroom "because I didn't like it" :mad: he keeps trying to ruin his books, touching everything he KNOWS he's not allowed to (and has followed that rule for months) he even keeps trying to rip the fur off his teddy bears. If he is about to do something and I say "don't do that" or after he's kept doing it "if you do that again you can go to bed/get a smacked bottom" he just laughs at me and does it anyway so then we have a massive paddy when he gets the punishment. I'm so frustrated!!
