    My ex is an absolute knoob!

    We don't hear from him for months on end, then he doesn't send his son a bloody birthday card, then today, I get a friendly text asking if i'd help him move his bed as his mum has kicked him out again and it won't fit in his car!

    Chuffing to55er!!! :mad: (no, i haven't replied!)


    And breathe. :D

  • Did this yesterday. All 3-6 months clothes have now gone to a good home. Where is the sunshine? so Alex can wear all the nice shorts. t-shirts and rompers i've bought.

    I was considering putting Benjamin in shorts tomorrow so when he goes for his MMR daddy can just pull the leg up rather than take a pair of trousers off.

    Sensible? Or am I being silly thinking his dad won't be careful pulling trousers over his recently jabbed legs?

    *quietly*

    Benjamin can sleep for 13 or 14 hours

    I love my monthly lenses.

    What is this 13-14 hours of sleep you speak off. Could be "falling out" with you, before we've even met!

    Contact lenses. They are on my "to do" list. Really need to get some sorted, hate glasses in autumn & winter, due to rain factor and hate them in summer, because I can't wear sunglasses whilst driving to stop the glare, without paying for prescription sunglasses.

    Only thing is, stuff on my "to do" list, usually get pushed aside for other "more important" things. "rolls-eyes"

    I've just put our 6-9 stuff into storage and the 9-12 stuff is out. Fortunately it's not all summer stuff - May here is normally already lovely and warm but it's bloody freezing and rainy still! I still need to hang her dresses up, but the effort of going through it all knackered me.

    I would go with the shorts. But mainly because most men (as in mine) need things making as easy as possible for them. And shorts would equal, no pulling up or down of pants. But then if Benjamins reaction to the MMR is the same as his last lot of injections he won't be bothered, because he's blowing kisses at the nurses who have just jabbed him. :)

    Because he is super hard and super cool. :cool:

    I am now going through the list of things I need to put in it! Can't remember if they supply wipes or not and I can't find his red book anywhere!

    :o although thinking about it he did wake me for a little cuddle at about 12.30am this morning. I gave him a little cuddle and was back in bed within a couple of minutes - it barely even registers with me these days!!

    Oh DO IT!!! I was never interested in contacts but I thought I would 'have a go' in August 2006 - I don't think there has been more than half a dozen days that I haven't worn contact lenses from the moment I got up to the moment I went to bed since! It is so liberating!! I can SEE!! I can look up or down without moving my head and I can look over my shoulder without having to be an owl - I love em!!


    How is A going on his new milk?

    Edit - oh my - Benjamin has quite a reputation to live up to on Wednesday doesn't he LOL!!

    I rarely changed any of them in the middle of the night. But I've heard the papers orange packs are useless and usually faulty (they burst and the crystals make a right mess).

    Chris has decided to have a naked day for some reason.

    Aww, just imagining Jack looking cute with his very own bag now Glam!

    I may be kidding myself here, but I wondered whether anyone has any help or advice on improving the appearance of my tummy. I have now lost enough weight to be the lightest I have been for a few years, but my tummy still has that wrinkly/stretch marked post pregnancy look. Has anyone found anything that helps at all? I'm thinking a maybe a wrap or something at a spa, or some kind of firming cream. I don't expect miracles but a slight improvement would be good :D. I'm going to Center Parcs with a load of old school friends at the end of June and I would rather look a little less saggy by then as none of them have children and I don't want to put them all off :rotfl:.
