    Afternoon all..

    We've been to Boogie Babies :) The friends I go with all go to a Breast Buddies group (Claire, you probably know them - it's the Imm group!) and I've been chatting to a few of them today.. nice to meet new people :)

    Rhys is making the most of wearing a long sleeve top which is a little bit too long by munching on the cuffs! :cool:

    Oh mm I forgot earlier Dylan looks lovely in his snazzy seat! Has he had a lol growth spurt? He looks taller an slimmer xx

    He has got quite a bit longer, just all of a sudden stopped fitting in some of his clothes !! I think his cheeks have filled out a bit though :D

    He absolutely LOVES the new seat !! Need to try the bath one out later :o

    Fairies have a couple of things to offer, send me a PM if interested.

    Expressing Halterneck. XXL but size guide seems a bit off, I'd say more of an L. Only got it out the pack to try it on, it was too small (curse these enormous things!):

    Moda from Mothercare wrap style sleep bras size 42/44 (I'd say smaller really) One taken out, looked at, realised too small:

    Per Una Fleece. Size Large, BNWT. It has one of those split backs with satin insert:

    Sami - actually, 85db (which these are limited to) can quite severely damage hearing if listened to for any period of time. The action level for any person working in noise is now 80db because that is the level at which damage can begin to occur.

    Thank you for thinking of us though :o
    Well that's a load of stupid lying sales blurb on them :mad: how annoying that parents will let their kids have them thinking they're safe while the kids are going deaf!

    SS - did you just thank a 'meanie'?

    :eek:

    What did I do?
    Edit: Oh, I see what I did. I thank everyone so I know where I'm up to - and TBH I'm so used to seeing them that I didn't even register it as weird and didn't look to see who'd posted it. There's so much friendly eye-rolling and confusion in this thread that it didn't occur to me that there was a meanie about.

    That reminds me - C trumped in my face the other night with her nappy off. I'd just taken it off to put her in the bath.

    We must have the same great taste :D

    :rotfl::rotfl:
    Indeed we do - and I want that swimsuit.

    Oooh, I was just bemoaning the Coast sale and how I couldn't buy anything. Explained to OH my fill-the-basket-then-close-the-window strategy when he asked !!!!!! I was doing shopping if I wasn't buying, and went off to the kitchen. Came back and he'd bought me everything in my basket :A:D:j
    He even remembered to go in with Quidco :money:

    Sorry about your sore foof Tia.

    Edit: Feelie, did you see me thanking your fairies? Molly is extremely pleased to have something to play with while feeding, thank you so much :A:A

    Oh dear, even MSE has been taken over by the PC police, we wont be able to talk about xmas this year in case we offend people of other religions next!

    Have just been to the harvester for a disastrous lunch with my friend and Seth, he refused to sit in the highchair so had to sit on my lap, refused to eat anything off the salad cart, ate half a slice of garlic bread and chucked my peas all over the floor, tantrumming cos I pushed my plate further away and he couldnt grab them, screamed so much when I drank my diet coke and wouldnt let him grab the glass that the people at the next table asked to be moved and then ate most of my chips! I am never taking him out for lunch in public again! Should have just got a dominoes :(

    Yeah don't really see my mum much - she stayed a week when T was a week old and we spent time over Christmas but it was a bit hectic. I keep telling T that mummy needs mummy cuddles. I think those with family nearby are so lucky I knew it would be hard living so far away but I didn't think it would be this bad- I think having my mum pop in for an hour or so every so often would be wonderful.

    Glam -not far from Saundersfoot.

    Sami - I know I should but I don't feel I can at the mo. When I come back from Wales OH is going to take a couple of days off so we can have family time and if I still feel the same I promise you (and myself) that I will get in touch with the HV for then I know it is something more than just missing my family a bit.

    I don't really understand what's going on with my sister she was due Thurs 14th Jan (dates can't be wrong as its down to IVF) and had a sweep at her 40 wk appointment they said if nothing happened they wanted her to call on the Sat to arrange going in for induction -they want to monitor her labour closely for some reason- she has the blood group that can reject the baby - does that affect it?? Anyway all I know is she is 4cm dilated but the head is not engaged.

    Sorry to anyone who's baby isn't sleeping through at the mo I am not taking it for granted believe me i have been up till 4am trying to get her to sleep before. Plus I know these things can change in time. Also I spend most of the evening feeding too soo don't get to relax with DH properly.
