    .. ELLE we may be going to my sis's for a bit while OH is away in feb :D

    Oh, I spy a day out in the offing! :D


    No offence to whoever thought of the list idea, but I don't understand why we need to have one.. Why can't everyone just put whatever details they want to about them and theirs in their sig, then it can be updated whenever they want without cluttering up an already huge thread with a list everytime a baby puts on an ounce or ages a day? *confused*

    thanks for the replies - in the end, we didn't go :o. If he were a bit older, I might've woken him but he's just been so cranky & tired the past few days that I felt like he really needed this - and he's still asleep so I'm very happy with that decision even if it meant a small sacrifice on my part. There will be other meet-ups! :) (not to mention I got a wee nap myself)

    Susan - you put it VERY nicely. I like the idea of an intro post at the beginning of every thread with both some ground rules & a list of "members" - kinda like they tend to do on the OS board. The bold/red is great. I think for myself I would put:

    aless02 - mom to Finn, born Christmas Day 2009, exclusive BF, maternity leave 'til Sep 2010ish

    or something to that effect...I'm so not picky! :cool:

    also...hand expressing is a PITA. I did 2oz before giving up from tiredness - will try a bit more in a minute.

    Do you think it was a troll? I actually thought it might be someone from here who had set up a different user name as they didn't want to be recognised?

    I was thinking that, and I didn't want it to look like I was suggesting all self-harm is attention-seeking. The particular subset of parasuicidal behaviour is defined by attention-seeking but that's only a small part of a much larger thing.

    My small monster will not nap. She's been awake for hours and keeps drooping but will not let herself sleep.

    Our trial is tomorrow at 12.20 - would you both suggest early lunch before we go?

    I thought we might be a bit old for it as she'll be one a week Sunday. Did I read that Gymbabes is for until they're confident walkers?, then you move up to Tumbletots? She's a long way off being a confident walker anyway. :o

    Definitely give lunch before you go, it is on for about 45mins and if she is anything like Kai will be non-stop for the whole time!!

    We have a few babies who are 13 & 14 months old, Kai is about mid-range all the babies in our group are crawling and two of the three older ones are walking.....I think they will most likely move to the next group after half term. The next group is from walking to 2yrs I think they said?

    I hope you enjoy it anyway.

    Angela - Maybe it's worth trying a couple more times but if she still doesn't like it then it might be best to leave it until she is more mobile. Maybe she is getting frustrated?

    I need to go and make dinner now, I may not get back on later as I am 'helping' dh memorise some eqauations for his exam in the morning....My phone line should be changed over tomorrow so that will mean no internet for possibly a week.....I will be in the iphone but only on the mega slow 3G/Edge/o connections so may not post much.
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    I don't think it was a troll, self-harm is a lot more common than people think, but it is often the sort of thing people don't like to admit to - it is something people judge us for.

    I suggested the list and no offence taken. I have my info in my sig, but someone said the other day "Who is Rose's mum?" Whether it was in Angela's signature would not have helped, but a centralised list might have. If we want to declutter this thread, there is plenty of stuff that could be chatted about eslewhere (FB etc) so I doubt this would make much diference tbh. I would assume that people would be sensible enough not to update it with every pound gained.

    Anyway, I don't mind either way - it is just a suggestion so whatever people think.
