MFD - go DH!!! Mine would never do that & MIL can be interferring although her fave phrase is @Its nothing to do with me BUT.........BLAH BLAH BLAH!!


MFD -

You called!!


I had an interesting discussion at a BLW seminar about how to deal with MILs (and nans and mums and anyone really) who like to 'interfere' or don't approve of how we do things...

If you think that she is telling you what she did with her children, and you say (inadvertantly or subtly) that what she did was 'wrong' or is 'dangerous' then you are actually telling her that she didn't do the best for her kids - which we all know is a red rag to a bull and doesn't get any less even when your baby is 40+

So I mostly take the 'really?' approach and keep schtum or 'we will try it this way and if it doesn't work then maybe' or 'it works like this so I don't want to break his/my routine' or whatever. Seems to work...most of the time *rolleyes*

My heart swelled when he stood up for me though like he was a man putting his wife first what a shame that he won't be around to make the most of my extra love for him over the next week!!



Beenie she is lovely xx

Beenie - wow, she's already lifting herself up so well! She'll be crawling in no time. I reckon Finn's going to be one of those more interesting in walking than crawling as I swear he can practically stand up already!

Beenie shes beautiful!

Hiya Glam, shes better than she was - still snuffly and chest is a bit rattly but shes back to normal with her sleeping (well her normal anyway) and eating so were having fun again now, which is nice as she has been a miserable moo for the whole time of her being poorly. Hope you and J have fun swimming.

Yeah when i lie her on her front she kicks her legs and arms as if she's trying to crawl haha. As much as it's good if she does end up being an early crawler, i have to say i do like knowing she stays where i left her :rotfl:

Any recent pics of Finn?

Beenie - Amber is gorgeous! Check her out supporting herself on her tummy, she'll be chasing the dog in no time!

MFD - Hope your OH is okay, and that your okay after MIL tried to steal your ironing....you can send her my way if you like? I know how awful it is though, when I lived at OH's for a while, his mum was always telling me what to do, how I was doing things with Keira wrong etc etc.

We would nip into the town and I'd say, ok she has just been changed and fed, she won't need fed until I'm home again so it's fine.....

We'd come back 2hours later and there was a barely drunk milk bottle on the floor beside her and her saying "Oh she was crying because she was so hungry"

WHAAAAAT. No. Her feeds were bang on 4hours when she was little, which suited me fine, and her feeding her top ups inbetween totally messed it up. Grrrr

It still rankles me she told me too get "rid of the baterward child" I know now, it's just her religion etc that makes her views so warped about that, but I hated her for a long time after that. Thankfully, I love her now, but she is still pretty infuriating.

God my periods are away to start, I just know it, achy thighs, stomach pains. Lovely. I really can't be bothered going to the gym today. I will go at some point this week though.

I am so sick of OH's snoring at night, I know it's not his fault, it's because he works in a dusty workshop but I'm getting no sleep, It's broken sleep all night long. I've begged him to go to the doctors or chemist or something and get SPRAY SOMETHING UP HIS NOSE, but he hasn't. So tired all the time because of it.

Omg, email overload. I was [STRIKE]bunny boiling [/STRIKE] / [STRIKE]stalking[/STRIKE]/ seeing if my ex has put himself on a dating site (he's done it before, so was curious ) and had to register to search, so i filled in a fake profile, fake name, no pic etc, and i've got about 20 messages :eek:

They're all like, nw thn eleanor, pics plz me chav goon rawh.

Didn't find ex btw, he's obviously got all the attention he needs from facebook.

*stops obsessing*

Hey Buttons, I know it isnt v mse but how about just buying him something yourself. Could he be embarrassed about it or is he just being lazy? He might use it if it just appears though x

My_Fathers_Daughter

Any Excel whizzes on?

I want a formula that says:

if D61, E61 and F61 all say Y then G61 (the cell with the formula in) should be the same as C65.

But I can't get it to work I hate IF formulas




BM your MIL sounds LOVELY :A
