    EA, if you can, get her one of those sun suits rather than a tiny swim suit so she stays warmer for longer. Or one of those wet suit thingamajigs from eBay.

    SS, LOVE the link!!!!!! lol!! Whats an air squat?

    I'm getting pretty fed up with the loft now, folk in the house every night, mess everywhere, kids are up to 10pm because they can't get into their room.... BIL and DH are finishing the stud wall and hanging the door to the little room (where they are just now) tonight, so hopefully once thats done it will be easier. But I'm not coping with the lack of time to relax at night. Yesterday was a very bad day for me. I still feel sick and can't eat anything till lunch time, then when I do, my stomach is agony for about an hour. Amber now has it too, so lots of code browns...

    Amber has learned how to play wheres the baby by covering her face with a sheet and bringing it down with a grin on her face. And she does proper high fives too. She is so much fun right now. Need a baby gate for the kitchen though! Yesterday DH and I were in the kitchen, I was making dinner, he was sorting washing out. The door gets opened and in crawls Amber who starts giggling like mad every time she gets into the kitchen. SO you put her back in the livingroom and a few mins later, you hear the manic giggling again!

    Weezl! Your carrot cake is a HUGE hit in this house!!! It tastes better than the fancy delia ones, think its the garam masala rather than cinnamon that makes it so good. Got a pic to upload into facebook of Amber enjoying a bit :D Ive also worked out, that if you grate all those carrots by hand, you have totally worked off about 3 pieces :D

    Surely email's perfect for communications with people you don't want to talk to Tia?

    Do you need to talk/rant about it?

    I'll be back later to listen, I've a meeting at 1 and must go.

    Hmmm - most of the stuff they seem to get is baby related stuff but I have had something for me and for DSS too...I definitely got my fivers worth...

    I dunno, I guess we could get toys but we already have tons of those - no point if all you are going to get is a potty!!

    How bizarre - i've just received this with a comp. slip saying to test for BB. :rotfl:

    I'm also liking the sound of steak, with big fat chips and pepper sauce. :D

    Hello

    Been shopping this morning, spent a fair bit on pretty girly clothes from Asda and got a few t-shirts for K too:) Dh also decided that it is fair not to take any money off L as he really didn't realise about the whole Xbox saga, and instead, to make it fair.....he bought J a PS3 game!!! I was a bit annoyed but, I think dh felt bad about it all kicking off and the argument between us, etc as he also surprised me yesterday evening with a box of chocs:) This is obviously his way of making up to everyone, so i'm not going to moan;) he said once the boys have saved enough of their pocket money he'll take them to Game/gamestation to pick a pre-owned game each.

    Fritha reminded me...I have tried the babasling, but can't get on with it...a mixture of T seeming squished and it feeling all lop-sided, means I just can't seem to get it comfortable.

    Asda have packs of 4 Johnsons wipes on buy 2 for £8....not sure how good that offer is compared to others, but £1 a pack seems good to me:)

    Does anyone know...if Dh wants the snip does he have to book in with the GP and get referred?? he seems to think not, don't quite know how he thinks it would happen tho!!

    I think I need to type out a reply and let it sit. She sent it on the 22nd but Ive not checked my email till today. Its very much a 'woe is me, I know I'm a terrible mother but you must now know how hard it is'. As much as it makes me feel guilty, it also makes me feel angry. I've never put my children through the crap I was put through. I think I need to type out a reply of everything I want to say... and then decide if I should send it or not. 29 years of resentment is burning a hole right now.

    Boys are in a bath just now so it will wait.

    ETA, Mel, he can self refer but doing it through the GP is easiest. Does he know where it gets done? Plus, the first appointment is a councilling session with a..... GP.

    Thanks tia...No idea where it gets done? I will get him to call the docs....I think he needs more info about it before making the final, final decision;)

    I agree with typing out a reply...you could always look back at in in a day or so and edit it before sending it:)

    Josh had a scare with his teeth. He was about 18 months before he got any teeth at all, and then when the front two came through, he fell face first onto a marble fireplace hearth and the teeth vanished! Took him to the dentist as I thought they had snapped off, but the dentist said the fall had actually pushed them back up into his gums! We had to wait a few weeks and they grew back down again. Weird!

    Ouch!! reading that then made me feel a bit funny!!
