    I wish but bit too far for me I'm afraid...not jealous at all..:mad:
    Aww thank you :)

    I think E is teething, he keeps chewing on his hands, or my finger if I put it in there and dribbling like mad, I've ordered some teethers that are like dummies but that go on the gum, cos the teethers that I have wont fit in his mouth lol, I can see a white thing coming through his gum on the bottom at the front, but not the very front if that makes sense?

    what should E wear when I take him out I am still confused about how many layers E needs to wear, Ive just put the washing out and its quite hot out, I plan on just wearing a vest top when I take him out but will tkae my hoodie in case the weather changes, E currently is dresed in a vest, a tshirt, jeans and socks and scratch mittens (he's gonna pull his eye out if not lol) I was going to put a wooly hoodie on him, is it too hot for that?? I just didnt know if it was ok for him to have a short sleeve tshirt on only (with his vest underneath)

    Sounds like teething... and he's doing exactly the same as William... just the one at the moment though...

    I put a vest then t shirt and maybe thin jacket......
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.

    MFD, the low number of his blood pressure is higher than the high number of mine, he hasn't been able to eat since Sunday and [TMI redacted]. So he's gone off and left me alone with a miscellaneous illness and a baby who's intent on doing pterodactyl impressions.

    Fun times :(

    Aw Sugar - I think a big dose of get well vibes needs to be headed your way!

    and non-hurty vibes for Benjamin.

    Kinof - I tend to go for layers with Liam so I can add/remove as needed. I try to follow the rule of one more layer than what I need, but I'm not the best for this because I like it really warm.

    Hmm i think the housing officer is trying to say i'm a liar.

    She's just rang and said she's coming over on Friday to listen to the noise. I said well how do you know they're gonna have it as loud as usual??? She said she's bringing someone else to be in their house, and get them to increase the volume until it becomes an "acceptable" level for me to hear.... (from my front room?) why not my kitchen? Or do i have to cut my house in half and not spend any time in my kitchen so they can be noisy?

    At first she was on about getting the neighbours all into my house, i was like errr i don't think so.

    Somehow i think i'm gonna be made to be a liar on Friday. I don't flucking want her in my house :mad:

  • 40 mins after the appointment time and still no phonecall :(

    I know our lovely nurse is always running late by lunchtime because she spends so much time gossiping with patients (which is why we all love her) but I have a horrible feeling in my stomach anyway.

    Hope everything is okay :(

    Is Amber the oldest toothless baby? Still no teeth here.

    No plumber either, he called to say he couldn't make it today. Grrr... that delays other stuff.
