    STOPTOBER CHALLANGE ... here we go !!
  • Morning all, it is snowing here again!

    Gisi, I hope you had a better night with Henry than I did with David after their jabs yesterday. I even resorted to calpol at 2 this morning - the 1st time I have given him medication and I ended up wearing more than he swallowed :o , I don't think he much appreciated the strawberry flavour :rotfl:

    :rotfl: You're class.
    Can I ask a quick BF question. Toby is now 9 weeks old and the last few days my nipples have got soooo sore, when he latches on it is super painful for a little bit then eases thank god!! I can see a sore bit on each nipple and have been putting lansolin (sp?) cream on. The thing is, I am not sure why this has suddenly started happening 9 weeks in. Could it be where he is getting older and more forceful when he feeds?

    Has anyone else had this happen? I guess I am asking for reassurance that it will get better again and stop hurting soon!! I did consider trying the rugby hold to see if that would help if he was latching on from a different angle? I am pretty sure he is still latching on correctly. Thanks in advance!!
    There are probably lots of possible reasons but I sometimes used to get a bit sore if Alice fed a lot more than usual.

    I grew up on Teeside and I'd never heard of parmos until it was on the local news that the name was under threat because it was too close to parma (as in parma ham).
    boggin is my all time favourite word though !!
    Most people seem to have a real problem differing my 2s from my 3s .. I personally think they sound nothing like each other !!
    Southerners can't tell the difference between when I say look and luck. :confused: I got quite a complex about my accent when I was a student because lots of people looked down on me as if I was stupid just because I had a northern accent and used northern phrases.

  • I'm afraid I did Hammy, although I gave him calpol before bed when he was hot and grouchy. He slept 8-5 theb brought him into bed with me till 7. Hopefully David will sleep better for you tonight.

    Morning all

    Hammy - no snow here, and looking at the westher forecast, we're the right side of the midlands to miss it.

    Not sure weather to brave town this morning. I need to pick Caitlin's Christening dress up, although it's not in until today so it doesn't matter if it waits a few days, and I could look in Boots. However on Saturday, they only had a couple of shelves with bits on so doubt they'll be much to buy. The site is down at the moment. We're going out this afternoon see to my mum's friend who hasn't met Caitlin yet. Maybe I'll get the hoover out this morning (maybe not too!).

    How's David this morning Hammy? Have you got one of the syringe things to administer the calpol? I find them much easier than using the spoon.

    SS - I haven't forgotten you over night ;) I will be checking on here again later :D

    My ex's father is like that. They are from the south.

    The stupid thing was my Dad has a degree and was a teacher and head of department, and my Mam was assistant manager in a shop. Ex-inlaws both left school with no qualifications at all. He worked in unskilled manual jobs and ex-MIL has never worked at all. Yet somehow they were superior and looked down on my parents as if they were scum because we came from the north :confused:

    He is so rude and has no manners. I could write pages on things he's said and done to upset me. When he took his anger out on Joshua, we cut contact with him. I still speak to ex-MIL on the phone as she has always been nice to me. She wanted a daughter but never had one, and sort of looked on me as the daughter she never had.

    Trying potty training again here. Charlotte keeps taking her clothes off and sitting on the toilet or potty but hasn't actually managed to do anything in it yet. She can't seem to grasp when she needs a wee or poo and only realises when she's actually doing one.
    Here I go again on my own....

    We are back to having all the fields surrounding us completely covered again although the lanes are still passable - at the moment!

    He is full of smiles one minute then crying the next :cry: . I used a syringe but David kept spitting it out the minute I stopped keeping his mouth closed :rotfl:

    My beautiful daughter has been up since 2:30. And I have to go to work.

    One of the mummies in my August forum has just announced that she's pregnant - she has two under two already :eek:
