You mentioned dogs in a post tonight so I'm guessing you have some! Do you not feel OK when they are there?

Zac has got more 'guardy' since the baby came. He growls at the door now when he hears crunching on the gravel or any strange outside noises.
I don't worry about break-ins or anything with him about!

Yeah I have two staffys but to be honest one of them, (Roxy) is useless where 'protection' is concerned she would probably lick someone to death but thats about it. I know Brandy would protect me with a passion shes mine and loves me to bits but if she hears anyone walking past the house too loud then she can get a bit growly when Tom isnt here, so freaks me out Cant help it Im just a freak LoL. Suppose it doesnt help that the two houses to the left are empty as of today and I find the couple on the other side seriously strange. Now that my neighbours have gone I dont know anyone round here.

Wow, that is some hobby. DH has a few of his own (as do I... in the same "not touching them for months" kind of way) but none that take up so much space or money.

I forgot to say Izzy had a bit of a shock earlier.

Mostly I look on the bright side, it isn't the sort of hobby where he effs off for hours at a time and he doesn't bring home sweaty clothing and expect me to wash it. But I do get effed off when there's a whole room in the apartment devoted to his boogery machines that could be a bedroom for a baby whose clothes and stuff are set up in our living room so the living room is permanently messy and unfinished.

Someone came round to pick up a few baby things a couple of weeks ago and commented while she was in there, Oh, are you just moving in? because of the state of it. No, actually we're not, I just have a husband who will not let things go, whether they are clothes of his deceased mother (I wrangled them into the ebay bag today), broken machines he hasn't used in years or a bottle of Coke that is now see-through from sun exposure and old age.

:eek: Poor Izzy!

:j MFD well done!

Evening all

Just posting and running as going to bed now.

Happy anniversary SS, happy birthday WM and (((hugs))) for all those not feeling too good tonight

Sorry to hear of all the arguing with OHs- I haven't argued with DH today but he's got on my nerves. Not his fault though, he's been fine, I'm just tired, hormonal and slightly annoyed/jealous that he's geting full nights sleep, getting to go out to his mates whenever he wants and still going to football 3 times a week leaving me on my own.

Anyway A is asleep in his room again so I am going to try and get an hour or 2's sleep before he needs feeding again.

Doesn't matter what its in. Some people might tell you to steralise the new container. I wouldn't

You going abroad? Thinking on it white powder in a tub in a suitcase going on a plane might not be the cleverest of ideas..........maybe you should take a sealed tub!

LOL! They wouldn't open my suitcase would they?? Maybe if I write 'formula' on the top then they will just stick a finger in and taste it! (Rather them than me!!)

I was just gonna take an empty bottle for the flight and buy a carton in the airport. If all else fails I will still have house white



Which reminds me - plan giving up BF has been put on hold until we get back from hols. We go away 4 days after I was supposed to be giving up and I thought that it would be better to carry on for a couple of weeks (with my automatic 'go back to sleep' aids) than to get myself in a situation in a hotel in the middle of the night where I don't know how to calm my child down

Now who foresaw that I wouldn't keep to my quit-date??

I got wine, will that do? *hic*

When do you need the tent for?

Probably April/May...I want to go and visit family down south before baby is due as I doubt I would be bothered for a good few months afterwards otherwise and there is too many of us to be put-up now:o We have done camping for years although only have a 4berth tent...I now want an 8 berth to sleep us all and have storage space for 6 peoples belongings, plus big fat dog!!

Do they still make you drink from the bottle if you have one at the gate???? I saw someone doing that last time I was away

After hols is prob more suitable anyway. Don't want to much change/ strangeness at the one time.

We are so lucky, my Mum has bought a caravan here http://www.park-resorts.com/park.asp?id=9&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=thorness%20bay%20isle%20of%20wight&utm_campaign=New_IsleofWight&cid=ppc&gclid=COaK75jDk6ACFcJd4wodG3CRdg and I'm so looking forward to taking H.

Whereabouts is Devon cliffs, JM? I love Devon so much. We're going for a few days in April. Staying in a cottage near Exeter.

I still need to sort some airport parking. This holiday lark keeps getting dearer! £160 to kennel the dog, £40 for his boosters before they'll take him, £50 for K's passport, £40 for a buggy, £70ish for parking, £40 fuel for the car to get to the airport, £££££££'s for DD's holiday wardrobe!

£70 for parking!!! I hope you are going for 2 weeks!!

Will you still be there when we get there on 18th?

My advice is to say now that as A gets older and he can do more to help then you will expect him to help more.
Part of our argument today is that I have run around like an idiot all day and hubby has watched a game of football, a game of rugby, a film and read 2 papers :mad:

To be fair, he was watching the kids for some of the time too but it still pees me off that I didn't get a second of 'me' time until gone 9pm...


...can somebody tell me why my baby won't go to sleep anymore?
