    What do others do with clothes covered in poo? I usually try to wipe off the poo with wipes then pre-wash with a vanish stick then put in the washing machine. Does anyone have a better way? Already onto 5th pooy nappy of the day although if you counted this morning mega poopsplosion it's more like 8th :(

    I give mine a spray with vanish stuff and then stick them in the wash, then fingers crossed theres some sun and this 'bleaches' it out...

    Might have to get a dirty clothes tub as I dont have the washing on every day. Thanks for all your replies. Right, Erin's granddad has sent her £10 for easter so I'm online shopping for toys :D

    That's good news Mfd :D

    I wonder what the moon is doing today? Caitlyn was an absolute horror when I was trying to get her down for her early nap... I ended up having to leave the room and come downstairs (at which point she went quiet and settled herself off to sleep!)

    Then I got a bloody automated phonecall from Very to see if I have received the new catalogue and it woke her up :angry:

    MFD, thats sounds like a good bit of luck (and hard graft from your OH), I agree he deserves a little treat, keep his spirits up. Can't be easy for you right now xx

    WM - I always tell my hubby to stay out when he has been out with the lads. He is out tonight and TBH I would rather not have to deal with him drunk and all lovey dovey :rotfl:


    My feelings exactly. Except lovey dovey = alcohol fueled mauling in our house.

    He told me yesterday that i had "not a bad body for a nearing 40 year old" !!!
    !!!!!!, would have just about accepted not a bad body for someone who's had two kids (and one is not yet 7 months).

    I'm 36 by the way.

    Has text me today asking for "a bit tonight". As would like to have a go at the near 40 year old body, before i'm actually 40. Does he seriously think that's going to get him anywhere? Tact? wooing?, romance? all dead.

    Congrats to your OH also.

    FYI Kindof and anyone else interested
    Appearance (skin color),
    Pulse (heart rate),
    G
    rimace (reflex irritability),
    Activity (muscle tone),
    Respiration.
    Interesting point for SS:
    The same acronym is used in German (Atmung, Puls, Grundtonus, Aussehen, Reflexe), although the letters have different meanings.

    Edgar's apgar at 1min was 8 then up to 10 at 5mins and 10mins
    An apgar of 8 at 1min is not uncommon :)
    ed's was a bit low because he wasn't very pink and a touch floppy at birth because the cord was wrapped around him so got a bit compressed in the birth canal (this upset him a bit so he pooped in me - thanks son!:cool:)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    I don't know what Caitlyn's APGAR was! Aimee's was 9 at 1min and 10 after that... She was fine apart from blue feet when she was born...

    Nap was short lived :( Any tips for getting him to sleep longer? :cool:

    No idea what Rhys' APGAR was at any time.. highly doubtful it was very high ;)
  • Krystal - are you around and up to visitors in the morning (late morning ;)) tomorrow?

    Don't want to muscle in on your Bank Holiday Weekend but would like to return your buggy and have a little something for little-lady-cheeky-chops :D


    I saw a Stokke in Stoke today!!! I stared at it like other people do and only just resisted the temptation to say 'I HAVE ONE OF THOSE' really loudly!!!
