    Hi all..

    Huge *hugs* for always xxx

    I'm currently sat with my feet up in the B&B lounge with endless cuppas coming my way and a pack of Jaffa Cakes :D OH and Rhys are off stomping up hills somewhere and I am getting the peace and quiet I was really craving! (and browsing for our next holiday).

    Bruno, I've been feeling a bit like MrsB but luckily I do have my mum and friends to escape to if needs be - maybe I need to make use of them more! :o I'm on the countdown to work anyway so not long to go until I will hopefully be able to enjoy alllllll of my time with Rhys ;) Sod's law, he'll have grown out of his whingyness the week before I go back properly and I'll be regretting (half!)wishing the time away! :cool: :(

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend.. Lots of spring cleaning going on, I see :D

    Hi All... I hope everyone is ok. Have been very bush here - doing a few extra days at work, and have my new Dyson, so time for a spring clean. AND everything needs doing at the alotment too. Busy busy!

    Our most important news though - we got a zia petit star :) Didn't get one of the reconditioned ones, as they didn't have any in stock, but did have some on offer which came with rain cover, foot muff and changing bag for only £20 more. Izzy loves it and keeps trying to climb in :)

    And she has been a sicky baby - seems to be feeling better now (exept for a cough) so we are just waiting for her appetite to come back.

    mel- you'll tidy it all up just in time for all the easter egg wrappers tomorrow!

    Don't worry, I knew what you meant. I used to have a long distance relationship with my OH, sometimes not seeing him for 3 weeks at a time and now I struggle with 3 days! It's just perspective really. Good luck with tidying, I don't have a stairs to take things up :D

    I agree. When I had ds2 (ds1 was 23mths) dh used to work away mon-fri so for months I only saw him at the weekends and he never has been great at helping out with the kids. If he did even HALF the stuff Bruno says he does on here I would think I had died and gone to heaven:rotfl:

    I hate dragging stuff up the stairs, hence why it sits in the hallway for ages first:o

    Kai and Jaden both seem to have caught a bit of a chill from yesterday:(

    Cleaned our hallway this morning. It's got cream wallpaper, cream paintwork and a cream radiator cabinet and they were all thick of mud splashes from the dogs :o

    Had a shoe amnesty in the settle and made the boys throw out a load of shoes. Found a pair of trainers that Josh barely wore but they're too big for James at the moment, so I've made him put them in his wardrobe until his feet grow two sizes :money:

    Found Charlotte's first shoes in there and a baby hat - awww so tiny!
    Here I go again on my own....

    Afternoon!

    I've just had a long undisturbed shower and time to get dressed and smother myself is lovely lotions and potions and dry my hair while Amber slept and feel great :D Well, headache is still there not even co-codomol are suppressing them anymore, but apart from that, great :D

    I had all 3 up at some point last night. Got to be about 12.30, then had michael up wandering about at 1, chris sick at 2 (so he isn't ill since it's 3rd night) and then Amber was up screaming since 4, got her settled again at 7 then she wanted breakfast at 8.30. Think she has a tooth coming, a molar by the looks of it. Lots of drool, refusing to sleep, screaming at everyone.

    Just going to catch up online for 15mins or so then I need to get this house tidied so we can hea doff out tomorrow when DH is off again.

    Hello all,

    Always - lots of hugs for you and your family x x

    Congratulations Molly & Edgar :T Clever babas!

    Aless - did you win the sling? Get well vibes for poorly Finn too.

    Elle - glad your enjoying your break.

    We're having a quiet day, I really need to tidy the front room as it's stuffed to bursting point with play mats, bouncer, swing, jumperoo etc etc and it's driving me daft :o We seem to have had a slight success with a bottle too! Well, she didn't scream when I put it in her mouth and she drank a couple of sips which is a huge improvement, the only problem is I'm finding expressing nigh on impossible. I've tried by hand, manual and elec pump and got 1oz which took forever. We've not got any left in the freezer either as it's all been used trying to get her to take a bottle. Would it be worth me taking fenugreek tablets for a few days to try and boost my supply a bit?

    SJ if I'm coming on Wed would you like me to bring any slings for you to try? I'll probably be wearing Isla as it's easier for me than the pram anyway.
