Oh GISI - what a scare. Glad H came out of it unscathed and hope your bruises heal quickly xx

I officially have a very runny nose it matches the one that my son has had for about a month now. Although Benjamin's coughing appears to be mostly improving....I say mostly because when we were playing in bed this morning he had a big cough and then laughed and pointed and he had coughed up a load of gak onto my stomach _pale_ :rotfl:

Delightful child!

I love it when I have to wait in for MIL on a Wednesday. Got Benjamin up at 7.45am and he came in to my bed for a play and a cuddle. I got up at 8am and dumped him in his cot to play whilst I showered and got ready for work, then I gave him breakfast and we had some fun watching the news and singing before MIL arrived at 9am Traffic was good on the way into work and despite my nose running like a tap I am relaxed and happy


I am working but I plan to pop to the big out-of-town Boots at some point - it is all Mazcabs fault :cool:

The only items on my list for the day are phoning various places about various things...I hate the phone .

I hate making phone calls - I usually manage to persuade OH that he needs to do them.

Back in work but not 100%. Looks like it was a migraine, poor thing. Definitely not pregnant, which is good considering the current home situation.

It was the way he laughed and poked at it that got me he also had started to stick his finger under/up his nose if it is running _pale_ as I said, delightful child!

He refused to say 'tack-tor' for MIL this morning, despite him shouting it at me about 20 times whilst I was in the shower. He also sat down quietly to watch when I put 64 Zoo Lane on to show her how he dances around like a loon *rolleyes*

God that tune sticks in your mind:

'sixty-four, sixty-four, sixty-four zoo lane'

'sixty-four, sixty-four, sixty-four zoo lane'

'sixty-four, sixty-four, sixty-four zoo lane'

MFD Ewww at Benjamin.

If you're off to big Boots, the nappies I ordered are Boots Super Dry 4+, 3 packs of 30 for £10 - is that 11p each? I've not used Boots own on V yet, but I used to like them for J & L.

It looks like only Huggies on offer atm are the little walkers, pull ups, economy & swimmers.

Pampers active fit are 2X size 5 46 pack for £16 Or 2x size 5 48 for £16.

(The things I do to delay going out to the shed and starting something useful! )

ETA: we have great fun teasing L when 64 zoo lane is on.
When she was little, we lived at 64 Bedford Road, so she used to be really cute and sing:
64 64 64 Bedford Road, 64 64 64 Bedford Road.

3 - I am a little ashamed to say I have never tried him in anything other than pampers since he started crawling. Green ones at night (stay dry?) and then purple in the day (easy fit?)

I guess I could try little walkers


Edit - cute Liv - I bet she hates it! DSS refuses to believe that he ever did anything cute!!

Me too, susan, as DH uses the phone as integral part of his job, so he's very good. However, i don't really think he will phone hairdressers for quotes on a wash & cut for me!! I did phone the passport people earlier, so that's one less call to make.

Mfd, lol at bogeys...hope u feel better. Gisi, forgot to say the same to u too - how scary! Sm, yay for more hrs!

OOh, you're a Pampers snob!
Am I right thinking the little walker ones would be slimmer between the legs, to help the walking? V walks like she's just got off a very large horse! :rotfl:

I wish we'd had video phones back in the early 2000's - then I could have video evidence of Liv being cute.

We found her old nursery folder on Sunday night with all her work/pictures in. She was laughing at her early artwork of stick people, with stick arms and five sticks coming off the arms from elbow down. These were fingers apparently! :rotfl:

Morning.

Well wait 3 weeks for appoinment with baby doctor, got a phone call to say he would not be on site today, but could still have appointment with another doctor, so agreed as have been waiting ages.

Saw doctor, explained Alex reflux problems, constant throwing up, crying in night, when lied down flat etc. Ummed and Ahhed for ages, well could give him another antacid, or domperidone.

So I asked about Enfamil formual recommened by HV. He looks at computer. says that's a specific milk for lactose intolerance. I informed him that Enfamil made three milks one lactose free, another soy milk and a specific reflux milk called Enfamil A.R. His computer obviously said "no" as he didn't believe me. My own fault for not taking in the leaflet HV gave me.

In the end refused to prescribe anything. Said I need to see the baby doctor of the practice. No !!!!!!, that was why I had waited 3 weeks for an appointment to get one specifically with him in the first place. So came away in a right strop and with another app on the 26th May. Not happy.

And breath..........

Sending get well vibes to Kindof OH's grandma.
