    Beenie your dilema made me smile. I can completely understand though. I have no problem with stinky nappies, but there is no way I could pick up dog poo! I'm no help am I. You need to psyche yourself up. Go Beanie Go Beanie, you can do it, you can do it!!!!

    haha, i'll psyche myself up for doing it after they've gone but i can't do it with an audience. I'm gonna be brave and hide :rotfl:

    Funny thing is i don't really mind picking it up when it's fresh (i.e warm lol!!) but it makes me gag when i know it's old and been rained on etc

    I sort of finished with "oh well i need to feed my baby so i'll do it in a bit"

    But "in a bit" means school run time then Asda, so it's tough. They've blimming drove a tractor over my lawn so i've got no grass left and all the poo is mushed in the mud anyway. Goons.

    Gonna have to leg it when i go out for the school run in case they shout at me :rotfl:

    maybe leave a dustpan and brush and nappy bag outside for them and they might take the hint??? :D

    sugar :(:( to the thought of hubby having to go back to hosp

    Ewwww - i can't stand doing it when its still warm.
    It's much better when its hardened - even better if you can do it first thing in the morning when theres a chance it'll be nice and hard and a little bit frozen!


    :rotfl:This makes a change from talking about baby poo. :rotfl:

    When i was new to dog owning i couldn't do warm ones, but after clearing the garden of soft ranined on mush with an old kids shovel and a carrier bag, i find it easier to do fresh ones. I always pick up when we're out, and i regularly rant about people that don't, but my garden is another story :o

    It doesn't go hard or frozen :( It rains too often for it to ever solidify and it's never cold enough.

    Last time i cleared the garden i noticed half of her poos contained lots of nappy gel stuff, cos the dirty oik kept nicking Ambers dirty nappies out of the bin and eating them _pale_

    SM....well done on reaching your mini target.

    AF...i think introducing cows milk gradually is better too. She's almost one anyway. Hopefully it will help!

    3 and Caz...Rose got that bad to for Christmas and she loves it. She loves the songs it sings too.

    MFD....Hope you and Benjamin are okay without hubby. I shed a tear at the car park comment too.

    SS....hope hubby is okay and its not as bad as you fear.

    Tara...thinking of you DD and DGD. I have everything crossed for a successful operation

    Im sure i had something else to say, oh yes MM, hope work is going okay and happy birthday for Violet, 3. I think so many of us seem to have babies born around the same time, who are now going back to work soon and have birthdays coming up. I am another one who cant believe how quick this year has gone!!

    SS I missed the bit about OH. Hugs. Is it the same problems as last time he was in hospital?

    3 i read the thread ... quite sadden by it actually x

    The whole BF/FF bit doesn't interest me - everyone does whats right for them. I've done both and don't feel any guilt.

    It's saddened me that new Mums are scared to join us. And that we're seen as a dictatorship and fluffy! :mad::rotfl:

    It is, and this time my mother's not going to offer her help...

    I'm saddened by it too, TBH, and at the same time bewildered a bit at how a dictatorship can be fluffy.

    just read that post myself.
    dunno waht 'fluffy' was meant to mean :confused:

    is a pity that new mums are scared to join us though. i guess because a lot of us were pg around the same time it was really easy to come here and post as before. i lurked a bit and posted a few times on here before K was born which helped.

    might just go and post a 'all welcome' on the pg thread
