    Hello

    Becles - no idea what to say really, but my dh can be just as inconsiderate so you aren't alone....

    Glam - Yay on new car. Leave it out in full view to show it off, at least for a couple of hours:)

    SM - Crazy wages, hope you get it sorted(in your favour of course;))

    I am shattered, took kids to school, then gymbabes, then home to give car a clean/hoover while K napped, gave him lunch than headed straight to liverpool to view/test drive car back to asda, then pick up kids and get dinner cooked and J ready for beavers....dh dropped him off for beavers but I will collect him at 6.15pm *phew*

    Well car...I loved it, it was huge and a dream to drive(very strange though, being automatic) so we pick it up in a couple of days:D:D I didn't accept a px as he offered me silly money for my car, about half what I would get in a private sale! I did manage to knock him down £200 and got him to put 6mths tax on (it had none) so I am pleased:)

    He faces right wherever he is! He just likes it *confused*. I think I'll try raising the mattress slighty, and see how I go from there. Defo want to sort it before it gets worse!
    Not keen on a pillow, SIDS paranoid in this house :o

    Yeah, they sometimes just prefer one side. We usually tell you to make sure he can move his head in both directions just in case there is any stiffness there, if there is see your GP. Then, try moving his head to the left, if that doesn't work, prop the mattress a bit on that side. And remember to move his head when he is in the pram, chair, car seat etc if you can.

    It took 14 weeks for Ambers head to get rounded out again so it's not an overnight thing. But doing it this early is the best way and has the most success.

    My poor baby has managed to fall on her face and make her top lip / gum bleed again! Can't see where the blood came from but she's cheered up again now anyway... Gave her some Lychee... She wasn't keen!!

    Been shopping today, the cupboards were bare... Just need to sort some meal plans out and decide what to do with what I've bought now... I can see a couple of stews on the horizon!!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    hello all :)

    fergie's afternoon with the childminder seemed to go really well.

    It felt strange because he smells of her perfume, and it must be like that thing on films where people's OH's have affairs and the wife can smell the perfume :rotfl:

    It was a luxurious afternoon in which I slept, read, took photos and did baking :o

    Still it's very good to have 2 afternoons a week in place for when Kester comes. And they have lots of fun together and go to the park and do quite a lot of stuff I don't feel I'm great at at the moment :)

    elle :) I was thinking about what you said this morning and I just wanted to say that DH quite often has to teach students to take blood, and it's usually the ones who aren't that great at it who sometimes make it sound like it's the patient's fault, where DH feels it so rarely is.

    I just thought it might be reassuring to know that in case it was someone just covering up their insecurity, rather than it being to do with Rhys.

    THanks Aless, Sugar and Fitzio. And all my facebook friends.

    Kezia had a lovely day at nursery and was really happy both times I saw her. That's right, both times. I had a summons at lunchtime to go feed her as the little toerag had only had 2oz of formula since 7am. But she did have some mushed veg which was brilliant as she has only had sweet stuff until now.

    Work went well, it seems I was quite missed. Well, the office was quiet without me so I decided that meant that they missed me.

    And, Best of all, I've set the HR lady straight and I'm not back full time until July 12th. WOOOHOOOO!!!!!

    Hope you are all well, I'll pop back and try to catch up in a minute over dinner.

    mel - great news onthe car

    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    The car is scratched! :mad:
    Pulled her in the drive n u can only see it from far away. It's under the back bumper so probably where someone has scrapped it on a high kerb.
    Rang the dealer and they will take it back on Monday and repaint the whole back bumper.

    Bl00dy pain in the ariss but I still love the car :D

    Off to cook tea will try and be back later xx

    Weezl- glad it went OK :)

    Ooh dear Krystal! Has she any teeth up top that are cutting the lip when she falls?

    Thanks Tia. It wasn't very shiny though;) But it is Huuuuuge!
