Night all xx

Hi :wave: Not been posting much this week, have read a bit though but mainly from phone in bed as it helps me sleep
(not that you all bore me or anything ).

So my half-hearted lurking means i don't remember much....

G&A - i had it taken off me when pushing with DS, they said i had to concentrate on pushing and also told me off for my involuntary grunting lol. So i was pleased (understatement) that at my HB with Amber she didn't take it off me at all. Pretty sure i might have scratched her eyes out if she did.

Periods - Keep noticing a lot of you with older babies saying you're getting you're first/second periods. I'm SO jealous and v.upset because for me it's been:
Birth - 2 weeks - post birth bleeding
5 weeks - period (5 days)
7.5 weeks - period? (ongoing)
NOT impressed!!! Still bf'ing completely too, haven't given anymore formula since that 1 carton.

Birthdays - Can't remember what i got DS for his 5th, but for that Xmas he got a VSmile Cyber and i wouldn't recommend cos he played with it twice and i sold it on eBay recently. Usually gets stuff like Lego, anything Cars (disney pixar) and he collects the die-cast and has since 2006 and still plays with them!
It's his 7th in April and i want to get him a 18" bike cos he's getting big for his 16", but i might ask his grandma to go halves with me on it cos the one i've seen is £120 and he got a bloody Wii at Xmas - i usually spend about £100, and then £50 on bdays. But i saw this on Grabbit and it's waiting to be collected £15, so he's getting that too.
I went OTT with DS on his 1st few bdays and will not be doing it for Amber. But knowing me i will end up getting more to make up for the fact its so close to Xmas, but for the first 5 years i might work that to my advantage cos it will get painfully expensive when she's older!!

Nothing much happening here, basic summary if you're interested:

Amber hasn't poo'd since Monday but is trumping a lot, nothing but skidders in her nappy though. How long was it til Finn eventually poo'd and had you given him any water/fruit juice? (or anyone else with same issue). She's whining good style though and doing my head in.

Had our 6-8 week check this week and she's all perfick and stuff, will get her weighed on Mon though cos he didn't and its been 2 weeks. I thought the check was for both of us but they said i have to make a separate post-natal appt with a nurse.

Noisy neighbours still cruisin' for a bruisin'. Rang council on them again cos it's hacking me off, feel very two faced seeing as we were back on 'speaking terms' but i don't care anymore.

Yellow men are finally finished in the garden. Although they've put one of my big plant pots in Noisy's garden and i want it back I have the matching one!! I asked yellow man to retrieve it for me and he said he would but didn't and now the fences are all up How petty am i? But tis MINE!!! And i made them re-erect my washing line pole, cheeky !!!!!! had just left it sprawled on the garden.

This is about as exciting as my life gets :rotfl:

Tia, if fuzzy felt is your thing they have bob and pat ones in The Entertainer can't see it on the site though, is bob n pat too babyish for your Chris?
I wanted to get them but Mum reminded me that my Chris would most likely eat them - he's so weird!

Sami_Bee

I'm eating b&j's phish food, not touched it since I popped Ed out but it's ok coz it's frozen yog not proper ice cream :A

Beenie - I've been thinking about you while OH is away, I have no idea how you've not gone crackers looking after 2 on your own, I'm close to the nut house lol

Tesco came at 11pm!

I was laughing though cause obviously stuff from other peoples shopping had fell out in the van and they just lobbed it in my bags. I now have

2 Folders
A pack of Simple face wipes
Packet of Haribos
Box of flavoured condoms

Also, the value tortilla crisps I ordered (7 packets, OH takes them for lunch with his sandwich, honest I'm not greedy, plus we like em with chilli)

Well they had none so sent me 7 packets of Doritos lightly salted, so £7 saving there for me, same with the value choc digestives, didn't have any so sent me 2 packets of Mcvities. Also an extra packet of 800g mince!

I deserve extra for the hassle!

Sami_Bee

you deffo deserve extra BM, can't believe how !!!!!! they've been! they should have come and put it all away for you

Buttonmoons

Actually , the guy took it into the kitchen and was telling us how he was just filling in and he normally works in the store, and couldn't believe how !!!!!! the job was!

They are expected to do 5 deliverys an hour, that's less than 15minutes per house, to unload, person to sign and drive to next place. Terrible!!


Yeah plus they are refunding me my delivery charge and I have £15 to use off my next order and they don't start with XX, so I'll be using my £8 off code next time aswell :rotfl:

Who says i've not gone crackers

Nah it's ok. If i was with the ex it'd just be another person to think about, another mouth to feed, another person to please. (I'm conveniently ignoring all the near-breakdowns i had with colicky baby, and all the stuff he did do for me that made life easier Denial!)

It's ok because DS is old enough to help out with little stuff, but when he's playing up the pressure can be overwhelming cos i've got no backup, so i'm the discipline/playmate/teacher/big nasty boss/mammy all rolled into one and if he turns out bad i can't blame anyone else :rotfl: The loneliness is the worst bit, the rest i can manage. (well, have to)

Sami_Bee

Well I think you're amazing I'm sure Cam n amber will turn out fab! x
