    Don't be uncomfortable Becles - I think the bickering is over for the moment. Now we're all focussed on elle's crumpets [STRIKE]and how to steal them when she isn't looking[/STRIKE].

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Am I being a silly, naive, first time mum who believes her little angel won't make too much noise? ;) The xylophone I bought Rhys has just arrived! :D

    Sorry, partially my fault, although I can't and won't take all the blame for todays situation, and I can't take any for whatever people have said has happened over the last few days (sorry no idea what has gone on). I'm going now anyway, so half a problem solved.

    All the talk of food has made me hungry but won't eat in front of ill daughter who i'm not leaving, even if at other end of sofa!

    Have a nice time all.

    SM - are you about?

    Weirdo question alert. What's Jayden's hair like? Only, Leila's hair has really started to grow and she is getting little curls which are like tiny springs sticking out of her head which are tangling. Just wondered if Jayden's is more like yours or Phillips or somewhere in between.

    jaydens hair??? to be honest he dont really have any but zoes took forever to grow his looks quite fine though and he just has the odd baby hair curl from the side but philips not all black he has indian in him and white so his hair is not a tight curl afro so in otherwise you never know what there hair is gonna be like when there black in it :D :rotfl: x

    I think i've just answered my own question by quoting you - the crossing out of text thing.

    Seen people do it on the stay at home thread and never asked how it was done.

    [STRIKE]Now I know ;):p[/STRIKE]

    Harley, so pretty!

    3, join the club, do you have to keep an eye on the hairs on your chin yet too?

    I've been asked to join the parents forum for my local surestart centre, its a bit poor at the moment for instance we don't have a booby club, all your surestarts sound fab so girls and boys, what does your surestart centre offer? Any ideas welcome

    Glam on that subject what is Tiny Stars? I hear you mention it every week but what happens there?

    loads of mats with toys, chance for mum to gossip, we have a nursery nurse and a HV there. we do a structured play for a bit so scarf play, mirror play etc and are now having an informative talk each week :rolleyes:
    Last week was reusable nappies, tomorrow is dental & booby checking I think. It's now a 12 week programme.

    just ignore it - I am! Life is too short for explaining oneself, I think the main thing is the written word can be easily misread.

    chilli on - 1 down 2 to go and mince is still nice and red! (the uncooked obv!)

    OH pulls my greys out as they are usually at the back where I cant get them!

    need help - hopefully getting a new phone do I go for

    Samsung Jet
    Sony Ericisson Tocco
    Nokia E71 - don't mind a QWERTY style
    A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Ooo, yes, really struggled with this one yesterday. DH was off and I asked if he could "mind" Finn yesterday (as in, be the one who picks up when he cries, changes him, etc.) to give me a break. I kept getting really grouchy with him because when he does stuff with Finn he's always saying "help help!" and I can go and help him, whereas when I'm home with Finn without him I don't get that luxury IYSWIM? Guess I wanted him to get a taste of what I deal with, which is a wee bit spiteful, but was just frustrating as it defeated the whole purpose of him taking charge. That's just how he is though, and I know I have to genuinely leave the house to get a real 'break' (which I will do next time).

    Anyway, he's generally lovely and even when he misses the mark I know 95% of the time he's at least trying.

    Glam - sorry Jack was a wakey baby! maybe you guys can get a nap today?

    happy a great birthday mm!

    i have the same issue with DH. says he wants to do things but the minute he gets a dirty nappy its Jill!!!! i need you!!!
    he has rang me before when i;ve been out (only gone 60mins) to see where i was!!
    but i had a bit of a paddy and told him it had to stop. so when he is back to having 2 days off a week, 1 day is for daddy and kian!! no mummy!!


    Harley- the lean and groove centre is fab!! Kian loves it!! DH put it together on christmas day took a little effort but was easy enough (from what i could see from the couch ;))

    I'm going to say something that is extremely TMI and not to be read while people are eating but I have to share with someone, so I am making it white and you can highlight if you wish.

    Edited because I have grossed out enough people now.

    As you were ;)
