    Aw BM how horrible :(

    I use P20 sunscreen, I'm a pasty redhead and need it, I tend to get freckly with it on but not burned.

    Cuddles for all the sickly littlies.

    Somnium I wash the dummies once or twice a week and wipe it whenever it hits the floor. But Molly's eight months old, only gets it for sleeping, and since she happily licks the carpet I'm not concerned about germs. When she was a very little one I boiled them all together as soon as all of them had been in contact with the floor.

    Sorry for double post but if your looking for an alternate to a parasol then check out www.snoozeshade.com it's cheaper and more compact than the shade a babe also better quality.
    that's what I actually linked to on mothercare lol, does it make it completely dark though? I need to get one but I want Ed to be able to see out not be in darkness

    you could do a little pot of milton just for them, I used to do Eds in the little pump box when I was trying him with them.
    or I have 2 TT dummies in a little pod that you can use to sterilise them in the micro Do you have a microwave? do you want them? they have been used for like a total of 15 mins when I tried to get Ed to have them but with no luck.
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Here too. DS1 has been ill all morning, viral I think (he has the diarrhoea with that unique pungent odour).

    We have the very bad smelling wet trumps too. :(

    I don't remember if DS1 was ill. When would that have been?

    We had it at the second week of December, just after I was back at work - 18 weeks ago.

    Can't remember if I said yesterday, my friends LO's had it again last week, and they'd had it before us in December.

    The Dr. told her that viruses change all of the time, and this one is changing enough to confuse your immune system, in an average of 17/18 weeks.

    V seems to have perked up a little bit. She's been sat on me since Sunday night most of the time. She's actually crawled off to play with her walker now. :D


    If you had workmen in the house, would you go out?
    I want to go for a walk, we're getting cabin fever and it's a gorgeous day. But I don't think they'll be finished til late afternoon. They're just finishing off the upstairs windows now, and have 4 bigger downstairs ones to do yet.

    Thanks Sami, but that's okay, hair loss products don't work unless it's rogaine or something and then you have to keep using that. I still have hair, so don't quite need a wig yet, I do have some clip in extensions though. It's just bulk my hair needs, that's all. Maybe I'll just be deficiant in Zinc, or maybe my bulimia is making my hair fall out. I don't know.

    Som, I have a special holder thingy that I used once or twice (bought it to get free postage on something else) the handy loop thing broke, but the compartment is still good. PM me your address and fairies can drop it by.

    Yeah, think DS1 was ill in December.

    ETA, this Som.

    Anyway skint or not, Csh - when are we meeting up? Next Tuesday? I hope K's teeth come through soon. He will have a full set of nashers by the time he is 1 at this rate! Are you still lacking sleep? H screamed in her sleep at around 12 last night but I was still up anyway, and that was her until 7 this morning so that was better than the past couple of weeks.

    Next Tuesday will be fine (I think) barring any teething/illness disasters! I am lacking sleep!! He sleeps sound til about 3 then hes wanting his dummy then just a general whine. He doesn't really wake up or scream or anything but just pitiful wimpers! Hes really clingy and moany during the day too. Joy.

    need to buy a parasol for the buggy. have looked on ebay and one that seems to be for our buggy brand is under £7 so will order it when i get paid at end of month.

    Is that incl postage? Boots have lots of parasols for a tenner each, various different fittings so something would fit?

    I'm blaming Time Twisters.

    I just feel really really dizzy.

    Kieren was sick last night but he really didn't like his tea so I don't know if it was that? He was a wee bit sick in the night but he seems to be immune from most illness so maybe thats him ill???!!!??? He was slightly clammy earlier but generally not himself but I think it is teeth. Will blame Time Twisters anyway!


    Dummies- Same as Aless, once when bought and if they were lying about and the steraliser on then maybe but usually not. Kieren only ever had a dummy for going to sleep.

    I have very ginger skin and burn through anything less than SPF40. Don't have overly red hair, just the skin lol
