    I had to go back and check, but yes there is purple. But i'd like a really dark purple.

    (I also have my tramp-stamp of a flower and the boy & girl fairies again, and a diamond in my big wobbly belly button! - i'm a rebel dontcha know!) :p

    I didn't want red in my first one cos someone told me red was bad :o so I had a dark purple but TBH it just looks black (and a bit poop). It's a side profile of a butterfly, it's on my hip, I'll show you Weds when I flash my belly button scar!

    Glam You might as well just turn up in a bikini so I can see all your bits! (As in tattoos & scar, not bits!)

    :( I don't want it to look black, a nice, bright, deep vibrant violet shade!

    Charlotte is being naughty at bedtimes. She's dry all day and can manage an afternoon nap with no nappy, but she still wets at night and needs a nappy on. She's master of delaying tactics at bedtime and has started pooing about 20-30 minutes after I put her to bed then shouting for me to go up and change her :mad: Each night I repeatidly ask her if she needs a poo during her shower/bath and before she goes to bed, but she always says no and then does it in the nappy. I'm sure she's holding it for attention seeking reasons and it's driving me mad.

    ...

    Speaking from totally unexperienced viewpoint would it work better if you bathed her earlier then let her play for a bit so she poos before you put her to bed?

    I spent an hour ironing and only did 20 items. What is an average rate for ironing 3? I am quite particular and my iron is crap so I think it is hindering me slightly :o

    Every night Aimee gets sent to brush her teeth, wash her face and have a wee... Within then 20mins of all this activity she then gets up and goes for a pooh... Every single night... It's a fairly recent thing... I'm hoping she'll get out of the habit soon... She doesn't always flush and in this weather it stinks the whole upstairs out!

    Lol, I don't have a bikini! I'll just turn up in bra and knickers instead.

    Urgh, just thought about it and my body looks a bit like a road map with all these scars :(

    I have scars going from underneath my arms, right under my boobs in an anchor shape, then straight up and round my nipples (sorry Bruno :o), then my belly button piercing scar and now 3 scars on my belly because of my appendix.
    Knowing my luck next pg will result in c-section so I'll have another one to add to the map. :(

    I'm sure if it covers a large area then you could tell it is purple but I think because mine is small it blends in with the black lining.

    Right, I really am going to bed now. Only stayed up cos waiting for OH to get out the shower!

    I love google images! I have spent most of the afternoon looking at different patterns and things. Wish I hadn't though cos I ended up reading that behind the ear is particularly painful as they can hit the bone :eek: _pale_

    I will be taking Co-Codamol 30/500 AND Ibuprofen before I go in. If I had Morphine to hand then I'd take that! Where's my Dad when I need him? He has a huge medicine cabinet and its stocked with allsorts of stuff that my nan & grandad have been given but never used :whistle:

  • Ah Krystal - thanks for reminding me.

    I keep meaning to ask about cleaning teeth. At the moment Benjamin gets his done after Breakfast (at CM's) and then when he is in the bath (because he demands his toothbrush :o) but that is before he has his last bottle.

    Should I make an effort to change our routine to clean his teeth after his last bottle or do I just be thankful that he likes brushing his teeth and leave him to it in the bath? I just give him the toothbrush with a teeny blob of toothpaste on it and let him have a good chew. If he will let me (about 50/50) I have a little scrub too but it is a bit hit and miss kind of point and scrub :o


    No-one ever talk about bath, bottle, teethbrush, bed!

    MFD I'd say as long as your getting them brushed is good enough. We do teeth then have bath and just before bed she gets a quick sup of juice which I suppose I could change to just water, but I'm not worried.
