Sami, I've just met someone I know and kissed them and discovered that I kiss their left cheek first rather than going to my left, IYSWIM. Funny, cause earlier on I was bobbing about in my chair imagining kissing someone and wondering which way I'd go :rotfl:

Hugs for tiredness - it's awful when you need to sleep and can't because small people's needs are greater and they don't understand.

Thanks Tara - I want to have more babies, but Molly's birth was so awful that I've been terrified of it all happening again.

Oohh.. ta Backdated from 17 August and until 16 May 2011 (2nd birthday) or until anything changes.

Still feel a bit odd about claiming it, especially as things are getting easier now (or maybe they're just easier to cope with? )..

awww weezl, hugs hun
You know the labour will be worth it in the end, and that fergus will eventually go back to sleeping, and you wont have to worry about work again for a little while soon, and your ILs are not as important as your OH and your kid(s) and you are a wonderful person
I know hormones are rife at the minute and you feel like it is all on top of you, but there is an end to it all, and the struggle is just getting to htat end

Well I've finally ordered a Mei Tai. I went for this one from Etsy in the end http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=22354820 and it only cost £34 delivered so I am really pleased. I think Henry will love it! I know Mummy will.

Very nice! I don't understand buying abroad.. Was yours $45 like the others on there and it converts to £34? Bargain either way!

Ran out of multiquotes..

Carla, hope you have a fab time

Sami, *huge hugs* for you too.. Who's being the biggest pest?

Things just become easier as you get a routine, so what you now consider normal would be too much for one of us, IYKWIM! You've got it now so that's all that matters, god we pay enough tax in this country so don't feel bad about using the system when you need it. DS1 just got his notification last week so it will see him through further education (if he gets in), we have 6th Form open evening tonight and I'm hoping they will make extra allowances for him so that he can definately get a place as he's not ready for work. Fingers crossed.

Tara - Edgar has a bad cough/cold so won't sleep, wants holding constantly, keeps being sick from the snottiness and Chris is getting the last of his teeth so keeps waking in the night :rolleyes:
I finally lay down to sleep at 4:30am and was up again at 7:30

thanks lovely, and congrats on the DLA. A bit strange that they aren't paying you for the first bit though, where Rhys' needs were surely greater?

Kester, a 'hard K' like in king, and pronounced to rhyme with jester.

Do you like it?

They don't pay for the first 13 weeks, and especially not while he was in hospital.
