Hey all, have read back but can't remember much except still seems to be a few poorly LOs. Hope they are all better soon

I have spring cleaned the bottom floor of my house today! Looks fab! Won't be on much tomorrow either as have lots of cake orders to make.

Off to bed now, night!!

Hiya hun!

You know where I am if you need me.

Am I coming to visit you on the weekend of 17 April?

I hope everything is OK AF hun?

Krystal, friend request sent, I thought you didnt want to be my friend cos I asked before but yay for friends now

Hugs AF. We're here if you want to talk about anything :grouphug:

Some batsard just rang our downstairs doorbell for no good reason. Why do people find ringing random doorbells so funny?

OH is still - still! - cleaning and organising in the kitchen. I thought I had an organised day with the baby cage and cleaning the floor in the computer room but he's been doing astonishing things! Operation Babyproof is under way. I'm ok with her eating dust bunnies, but I found leaky batteries under the bookcase and a scrawdriver on the floor so am pleased enough with my progress that I won't be hovering to see what she unearths next.

I'm also a little bit - I don't want to be an overprotective mummy and didn't think I was, especially because when things aren't sharp or poisonous I'm more likely to be relaxed about them than OH is.

I have just joined http://www.childfriendly.co.uk/ which is a review site where you can earn vouchers for submitting reviews. Not sure if anyone uses it but 10 reviews of new places = £20 of love to shop vouchers.



SS - you don't strike me as over protective. Just a little down on your hubby???


Edit:
Speaking of which I am going to go rescue mine from a sore neck where he is asleep in a really arkward position on the sofa. I will challenge him to a game of scrabble or lego batman...which do we think he will choose???

SS, you're not over reacting. You would just rather things changed in a grown up way rather than in an emergency trip to the hospital after she ate a tack/fell on a mirror/stabbed herself with a screwdriver way.

I think we all have different things we're paranoid about, it only makes us over protective if we're paranoid about everything...

I won't let Aimee have anything in her bedroom near the window... To the extent I moved her bed to stop her climbing on the window sill, even though the window is double glazed and locked... But I will leave Caitlyn asleep on our bed which gives Hubby palpatations...

And if it's any consolation... I would have been upset about the bag of spikes...

I'm not really down on him, MFD, but sometimes he does some things that I just wouldn't, or don't like, and I feel like telling him not to do stuff whenever he does it would make me super nitpicky and I don't want to be a nitpicky wife (or an overprotective mummy). But if I don't let out my irritation somewhere I'm a snappy wife so I vent - and here is where I tend to do it. I suppose it does give a bit of a skewed version of events, so for the record: my husband is a lovely husband and an excellent father, and although he does some stuff that infuriates me and a small amount of other stuff that goes beyond my limits, most of it is purely because he is not me and that is ok.

For the record: putting Molly on his head and holding her up there while he dances around scares the pants off me but she loves it so I don't complain; sharp things on the floor are Not OK while there is someone in the house who is not yet able to determine that some things are dangerous and should not be messed with.
