Hi Hermum

That sounds painful about the chilli peppers.

I hate it when you get lots of watchers and no bids.

DD2 has hurt her leg now climbing up on the settee and onto the unit in the corner, luckily it's not too bad, didn't fancy going back to A&E for stitches, it's cost me a lot in petrol and parking fees.

tmd it sounds as if you could do with another holiday. Are they all at the age where you need several pairs of eyes?

They are 5.5, 4.5 and nearly 22 months. They definitely need watching, amazing what they get up to when daddy is here and I'm not, he seems to have blinkers on sometimes.

I keep telling DD2 not to climb on everything, she jumps on the settee's and DD3 copies her all the time, hopefully she'll stop doing it now she knows she could hurt herself again, they must think I like telling them off all the time.

Hopefully I'll win the Euromillions tonight and can have a nice holiday to Hawaii, that would be great.

Haven't done much the last two days as yesterday had to take DD2 to A&E as she put a large sequin up her nose, they couldn't see it when we were at the hospital so had to take her today to another hospital and they put a camera up her nose to check but it must have either fallen out in the panic (she cried and screamed the place down) or she must have swallowed it and not realised. She was a big brave girl so am really proud of her (she's 4.5). I remember putting a rubber up my nose when I was 6 or 7 and panicking but it came out, funny what you remember.

Sounds like my couple of days. My DD who is 4 stuck a bead in her ear! We don't know how long she has had it in there as she said i would be cross so didnt tell me! Only found it at her 4yr check up! Went to Casualty yesterday..they used big tweezers which really hurt her and then by the time they bothered to bring out small ones she was hysterical! :mad: 4 hours in casualty and it's still in there!!:mad: Now she has to go under anaesthetic in day surgery in a couple of weeks to have it out!! :(:(:(

Though being home with my other sick daughter this week i have been able to finally finish cleaning and take photos of the items i cleared out of the shed on sunday!! :j I have also weighed them so will be listing them tomorrow! I really want to tackle the loft but DF won't let me until i shift these huge toy items!!! To be fair our bedroom looks a bit like an ebay warehouse!!!

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

tmd, you could do with a lie down somewhere gloriously sunny & see if you can grow some more eyes & arms.
Mrs, Heads bleed & make such a mess as well don't they. Is he spoerty or just clumsy
littlekel, what a nightmare, nothing worse than there being something wrong with your kids. I hate to tell you it doesn't get easier my daughter is 28 & you still worry yourself stupid about them. In fact more now than I did when she was a child.
Hope everyone has a good weekend

Hope these accidents arent catching! Want my 2 to stay away from them - the 15 month year old has a bad habit of saying ready steady go and flinging herself off things at the moment :eek:

Got 10 items finishing tomorrow so thatll be February done - think Ill have cleared about £100. Not as much as I wanted but to be honest I havent spent that much time on it! Tonight my oh is out so I am planning to ebay all evening! Get March off to a good start.

Hi! I am normally a lurker on this thread but do try to do a bit of Ebaying, it is amazing what accumulates in every room but it is very tiresome getting it ready and on ebay. I only do a couple of items at a time but it does keep ticking over, not very much maybe £50.00 every 2 or 3 weeks to withdraw from paypal but it is all really useful. I like to think of it as my contribution to recycling.

Keep going everyone, I really enjoy reading about your adventures.

Poor thing, it's horrible when they hurt themselves.

They have all been to A&E once now. DD1 when she had trouble going to wee and was screaming, DD2 with the sequin up her nose and DD3 when she had bad chicken pox. I only ever had to go to A&E once I had children, with DD1 when I had an infection after she was born, DD2 when I had bleeding at 7+5 and when I got an electric shock at 23 weeks and had to go by Ambulance (not blue lighted though) and DD3 when I was 12 weeks and had bleeding, and also when DD3 was 6 weeks old and I had bad chest pains I had to go.

Mind you, suppose now I'm 41 more things will start to go wrong, I'm feeling so old.

I'm trying to talk OH into taking the kids out to his mums for a few hours so I can have a good sort out and tidy up, have got lots of things I can Ebay and need to make money, want to try and list between 3 and 5 items a day for the next month, starting Monday.

My DD3 (nearly 22 months) loves to jump off the settee if you are standing nearby, she loves to climb on things too and is always climbing onto the windowsill and looking out the window, she pulls hair too, she's quite clever though and am amazed at what she does sometimes. Yesterday when taking the eldest DD to school I put DD3 in the puschair and DD1's friend came running up and DD3 was shouting 'Georgia, Georgia', and waving at her so excited, I was amazed, plus at the hospital yesterday there was a girl with long hair and she started shouting 'Georgia' at her, so funny.
