    OMG that’s the last time I go off and have a real life, lots of things happened.

    Pre congratulations on the tender MFD and well done to Benjamin for mastering No, it’s a very important word and much more useful than Yes!

    Really well done Elle, how fantastic

    Hugs for scruffy although you sound strangely OK about being away.

    AF I’m not sure which order you do it in is as important as being consistent with what you do, sounds like you made a great start though and she slept til 3 which was what you hoped for.

    Weezl we are not used to you being out of sorts, what can we do from a distance to help? Maybe you could speak to OH about regular naptimes for you too? I’m sure I was having a sleep at your stage of pregnancy. And don’t question yourself, I think of you as the threads wise owl.

    All those moaning about binmen can stop now, we didn’t have our bins emptied from the first week in September until the week before Xmas!

    Uncle Bruno, congratulations, is this Elijahs first cousin?

    Feelie hope care co-ordinator gets back to you and can help, anything any of us can
    do?

    OK stopping now as I cannot catch up, Millie has been sent home from school cos she keeps throwing up, looks like its going to be a fun night here!

    I think your bin men and our postmen were born from the same set! Not sure why we live in a postal black hole, but it takes us about a week longer than the rest of Britain to receive the same stuff. :confused:

    hmm I prolly should've taken a nap while Finn was down (he's still down but only for 20 more minutes), but I wasn't tired then! finally doing the bread I've been swearing to all week. Feel inspired to bake something sweet but have to stop eating total junk food so will resist.

    forgot to say congrats to Bruno!! the proud uncle :D

    oh no, MM I hope Millie feels better!

    Congrats to MFD and Elle. :T

    Well i'm so dedicated to work- Not!. Three days back from maternity leave then booked yesterday off, to look after my poorley baby. Took Alex to the doctors, he has "viral infection" and fever. A wasted journey, really, was told to just give him paracetamol, but he's my baba and i had to make sure he was ok.

    Cue lots of crying and whinging yesterday and unsettled night again last night. Have returned to work today and have sent Alex to my mums, instead of childminders, for lots of Grandma cuddles.

    TFI Friday I say :rolleyes:

    Congratulations on being an Uncle Bruno :)

    Right, which one of you lovely ladies wants to go pick up Keira for me? It's dinging with rain, I have no hat or umbrella, and it's cooooooooold. I just know she's going to moan at me coming home.

    Blah blah pick me up, my legs are broken
    No, I have a sore back
    Waaaaaaaah my nails will fall off if you dont pick me up
    No
    But my teeth are turning black, you gotta pick me up!
    No
    Wahhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaah moan moan whinge grumble

    *Picks her up*

    Ahhhhh nice and cosy :D

    and me? :mad:

    I still haven't done the dishes, hoovered the hall though, still the living room to do, clothes to put away, dinner to make, meh meh meh.

    I'm seriously considering hiring a cleaner, but my flat is quite small and cluttered, does that matter? Do they do the dishes, that's the most important thing!!

    Right, the pressing work task is completed (with Molly sitting on my knee "helping" because Husband boogered off for a nap and left me to it) and now I am off for a bath, I think, or perhaps a toasted sandwich and then a bath.

    I do really want a toasted sandwich. And a cup of tea.
