    becs the cardio is fantastic isnt it :D ...

    I love it apart from the fast kick up's. I can do the short one, but I can never manage to do the long one without walking for a few seconds in the middle :o

    I was doing that bit yesterday when the tory candidate came door knocking and I had to explain what I was doing as I was all red in the face and out of breath :o:rotfl:
    is it odd im hungry for meat? x

    is that a euphemism? :D
    A question for those of you with babies with hair:

    If you bathe babba at bedtime how do you dry their hair? At the moment I just rub Benjamin's with a towel but as his hair is getting thicker it is still a bit damp after his bottle and then he gets bed-hair LOL

    I already had a hot air styler, so I used that with a cushion brush attachment. It's like a brush but hot air blows through where the bristles come out. It's much gentler than a hair dryer, and Charlotte didn't mind sitting getting her hair brushed.

    Been using that until very recently. Her hair is middle of her back now and quite think so it takes ages with the hot air brush, so she has to use my hairdryer now. I've started putting a blob of conditioner on the ends of her hair to stop it going flyaway, and she thinks that's great and keeps telling everyone she's had conditioner on

    Why can a bloke spend weeks researching his new car, visit garages, to get it on order for July, and book himself and a mate tickets to an event later in July, but not get around to getting his fiancee a ring!!! :(

    Set fire to him. That's my friends answer to everything :D

    Put Charlotte in the shower tonight and there was an absolutely massive spider on the bathroom wall. Tried to catch it but I dropped it and scuttled off. Wasn't going to say anything as Craig is scared of spiders, but Charlie big mouth came down and told him all about it. I said "don't tell Daddy that, he's scared of spiders," and he said in a big voice "no Daddy's not scared of anything" and Charlotte said "yes you are, you're scared of knickers" :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    MFD I've used the hair dryer on both boys pretty much from birth, they love it. I make sure I keep it moving and have my hand 'in' the part I'm drying and move to another section as soon as it feels warm so they don't get burnt :)

    JAM Ed has/had similar trouble since eating solids, I found offering water often and the runny 1st stage fruit pots/jars help get it softer. Also I bring knees upand leg cycling fequently after the first sign of poop, use a cotton pad/ball to put vaseline on the exit (I found it wouldn't stay on the skin if I used finger to apply)
    the worst occasion I had to help him by holding his knees up while he went and wiping away anything that appeared straightaway (he was nappy open on change mat) other wise it went back in and we were back to squre 1 :(
    sorry for the gross story!
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    It's been so quiet today/tonight on here! I was wondering where you were Sami :p. Ewwww for the gross poo story!


    I have a gross/embarrasing story i'd like to share.
    I went for a wee in the early hours, and thought i'd empty/clean the mooncup while I was there.
    Except, I dropped it down the toilet. I didn't want to fish it out of mucky toilet water, so thought i'd flush the dirty water away, then fish it out. But, the flush managed to take the mooncup away too. :(

    So much for the :money: , last your forever and environmentally friendly mooncup. :o

    And, I had nothing else in, except for half a pack of left over maternity pads. :(

    Evening all,

    Hello, welcome, well done, congratulations

    I'm trying to keep up but for some reason my lappy keeps getting infected and crashing. Getting all kinds of trojans etc.

    Katie's swimming class is being merged into another as there is only her and one other continuing next term. I have a couple of options but I need to see what I'm offered properly first.

    Birthday Bear was returned to church without too many traumas this morning, I had talked to her about it going back and Grandma had bought her a bear in replacement.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    DD Katie born April 2007!
    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)

    Ewwwww! :eek: I just couldn't put my hand in there.

    But thinking about it now, not at 3am and half asleep, i probably could have found an old sieve and fished it out. :doh:

    Suppose I should order myself a new one.

    (Every time i type mooncup I get an incredible urge to type moonpig!) :rotfl:

    Is that a little tooth at the bottom on the right hand photo?

    Nope, no teeth yet - aged 49wks! :cool:

    Both sides at the back his gums are so white but still fairly pinky at the front (must be the light shining on the drool in the pic ;)) and he's been moving his tongue around oddly today like he's feeling for something but wouldn't let me get my finger in to have a feel :(
