    Oooops. I posted a link on my FB about a man who was believed to be in a vegetative state, but some brain scanning showed he was actually suffering Locked-In Syndrome. This is heavily related to my research project and I know some of the people working on it in Liege.

    Husband posted something stupid in response, missing the point of what I was saying and going straight for a claim that something related in a very tangential way is not reliable science (he's right, of course, but it's irrelevant). I deleted his comment immediately (some of the people working on it are also my FB friends and I didn't want them to hand him his bottom in public). He's been b!tching and whining about it ever since and I finally snapped and G-Chatted him this:

    why don't you go back to whinging about the old man in the bed beside you while I keep the apartment in reasonable condition singlehanded and Molly continues to whinge because I only have two hands and can't be constantly holding on to her?

    No reply since. I may have upset him.

    Enjoy the TC ladies :)

    I'm very interested in these fleecey liners. I'm using the disposable liners but they look like they're uncomfortable. Molly seems not to mind them but I wonder...

  • Hope everyone is well.

    Jamie woke up at 3:30am! :eek::eek:

    DH brought him downstairs and settled him but it took until 5am! Poppy woke at 8:30am and Jamie slept until 9:30am so it could have been worse (for me - not sure about poor old DH though! ;)).

    oh and Weezl - The fish pie is actually quite nice, a touch bland due to my lack of herbs in the store cupboard but still good :D thank you for your suggestion x

  • I got a roll of disposable liners with the nappies and used them for a while, but then decided they were pointless while her poo is liquid... Plus I didn't like to flush them and I got sick of fishing out the paper layer before I put the nappy in the bucket... I much prefer just shoving the whole thing in together and not having to mess with it... Also another bonus with using washable wipes!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Thanks em - I don't feel I'm coping at all. Molly's still in her jammies and sitting unstimulated on my knee because after last night's teething antics I've no energy to play with her. The laundry's in and I cleaned some of the computer room while she was napping because it was so messy I couldn't stand it any more. But there's so much to do and he's asking me to go visit and I don't want to bring Molly because hospitals are grubby places.

    ........ Washable wipes? Please tell more?

    Bruno - Have a lovely time in Bruges:D (sorry i'm a bit late:o)

    Have a lovely time at the Trafford Centre, those that are going this morning:D

    MFD - Relaxing, I don't recall doing this since before ds1 was born 9yrs ago!! I can't see it for a long, long time:rolleyes:

    I missed your conversation about books. I LOVE reading...we have hundreds of books although dh mainly likes sci-fi which I am not too keen on but I have read the odd one which have turnedout OK. I like allsorts:D

    Just waiting for Tesco to turn up.....which is annoying because Kai is asleep and I could have had a little lie down myself.
