    oh weezl... Kian has his first tooth!!!!

    can you ask your lovely DH, whats the best way to look after this tooth (thank you)
    yay for tooth!

    DH's routine with fergie has been a teeny bit of low flouride toothpaste on a soft bristle brush just before bed, rubbed round on the tooth. Usually accompanied by the song 'brush a brush brush' to the tune of 'wash your dirty face' :rotfl:

    LOL, we can all conquer IKEA together :D. (I hope you don't mean this coming Weds/Thurs b/c I don't get paid 'til Friday the 30th so would need to be the week following :o...we bought plane tickets this month, urgh)

    how about next Weds for lunch?

    things I have learnt today on opening the post: you have to pay inheritance tax before an estate is settled even though its all property so somehow we have to borrow many many thousands and the legal bill for sorting out dad's estate is going to be way into 5 figures :eek:

    am off to post-natal aqua now to splash some rage out.

  • Work:
    I am officially redundant at the end of the month. But have been temporarily engaged by another company to do the same role (with all the same people) for 3, possibly 6 months starting from the beginning of May.

    So in theory it is good because I get a payout on the Friday and will still be doing my job on the Monday (albeit being paid by a different company). But still no job security, no resolution to the whole tender process and no motivation to 'go the extra mile'.


    Walking and talking:
    He was going great guns with the walking (well, basically throwing himself forward for a number of steps) then he stopped for a couple of weeks around his birthday and then the last couple of weeks you can't keep him down. He now pushes himself up to standing (bottom in the air and then stomach muscles to stand) which he gets lots of 'yays' for :T

    His repertiore consists of 'Hello' 'Hiya' 'Errow' 'Bump' 'Woof-Woof' 'Splash-Splash' 'Bird' 'There' 'Mummy' 'Daddy' 'Babba' 'Nannan' and 'Day' (which we think is DSSs name)


    I reckon you just do more things for Fergie than I do for Benjamin!! He had to get mobile and loud to get my attention :rotfl: I think being with bigger kids helps lots too - is he enjoying his CM?

    hmmmn, the redundancy thing seems to have a few benefits but loses a lot of plus points. :( I'm really sorry to hear that. Your skills always seem pretty sought after when you post, so I know you'll be ok for money and work, but it must be hugely stressful to not have the definiteness. hugs for you.

    Benjamin's repetoire is amazing! such a clever boy:T:T:T:T:T

    hair is overrated and rapidly becomes a mullet!;)

    EA: wow! stunning :D
