Krystal that sounds scary!! I have to say I didn't even check his cot to see if there was any blood in there (bad mummy). I can't have nosebleeds so I do find them a bit scary if I am honest...but I am not generally a panicker so I just cleaned him up a bit and told the CM to keep an eye on him

I did say to him 'I am going to clean your nose up now and you are not going to like it' and he started crying before I got anywhere near him :rotfl::rotfl: He is starting to understand so much!!

When you say you can't have nose bleeds... Do you mean you physically can't bleed from the nose... Or you go hysterical when you do?

Benjamin is so clever, he's becoming a proper little boy

3, Aimee was the same as V, she could stand alone for an age from about 8 months but wouldn't just walk until she was 13months... Caitlyn doesn't like walking holding your finger, any time I've tried she's just let go, dropped down and crawled off... She's a very independant girl!!

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.

:rotfl::eek: I'm sorry, this shouldn't be half as funny as I find it.

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

I use AVG, it's free to download and I've never had a problem.

I am starving too!! I have steak in the fridge at home which will be dinner tonight and I am already thinking about how I will cook it....it could well be a long day!

The only way to cook steak is to turn the heat on the pan up as high as it will go, then about a minute on each side and let it rest for a few minutes. Nomnomnom.

Gorgeous pictures JM and Elle, and well done Alex! I need his motivation too.

And well done Caitlyn!

I'm glad Evie got her sleep sorted too.

Enjoy your trip SM

Bruno, that's adorable.

I've only ever had nosebleeds while pregnant or after hitting myself in the face with something. But I think being very calm about things and not making a fuss is an excellent plan.

Molly's too baldy to worry about her hair, you just have to dry her body and by the time you've got to her hair it's dried :rotfl:

Physically can't have them. I is special

She is a very independant girl! And she is so dinky and cute!!


3 - does she walk with a push along? She is probably running all over the -place when your back is turned!

I have a griddle pan to make nice lines on it Hubby has to have his non-bloody so I do his and then whack mine in once his is nearly ruined
I meant what kind of sauce, onion rings, chips or wedges, salad etc Hubby always wants sweet pepper sauce but I am wondering if I can be arrissed to make chive hollandaise...


Benjamin's hair used to be like that but now it is coming in underneath it is getting quite thick.

Food perversion!!! I can't abide it when people destroy good steak by turning it grey A friend made lunch a little while ago, and it was so distressing - she had this gorgeous steak and cooked it for EVER.

Having said that, OH cooks it in the oven for hours on a low temperature, and it's still properly rare but soooooooooo tender.

I like big chunky chips, Bearnaise sauce and salad with steak. And I am plotting how best to invite myself to yours for dinner tonight.

We're going to buy a baby gate today. Once Molly wakes up I am going to put on some more sensible clothing (had to throw on yesterday's when the postman brought me two packages) and take her to the baby shop.

My packages were a fabulous compromise on a Mummy bag (it's a gorgeous teal velvet shoulder bag with SO MUCH ROOM in it) and the glasses I bought to complete OH's parents' Waterford set. Except that the measurements were given as 6" high - which I assumed to be six inches because that is how you write inches. But it wasn't, it was centimetres, and now we have three teeny glasses and still need the three big ones :mad:

Jillie, I'm usually the world's worst (well, Sami aside ) for getting organised and out in the morning, but now I've been laying out my clothes the night before and getting the bags ready and by the door, I've actually found myself being very early most of the time I guess it does depend on what you have to do with Kian before you go - I literally pick Rhys up out of his cot and put him in his car seat and go, then Mum sorts him out at the other end (if he's still sparko, she'd put him straight in his travel cot to finish off his sleep), am very lucky

Talking of Rhys being sparko.. he's still in bed! He hasn't slept this late in weeks :cool:

Oi! what you trying to say I was actually pretty good at getting out for work, knowing I had to get Chris to the CM for a certain time

MFD - didn't you see me suggest the hair dryer? I'd never put a baby down with wet hair, it just feels wrong.

3 - I'm with you in not immediatly shoving my hand in the loo *shudder* depending on my state of mind I might have got the tongs/slotted spoon from the kitchen to get it out (and thrown the utensil away!) but even still I'm not sure I could ever put it back in knowing it had been in the loo :undecided not that I'm a germaphobe or anything

I love bearnaise but have never made it...if you can be with us for 8pm then I have enough to go round


LOL - would love to see a piccie of 6cm glasses! They must be teeny tiny!!

In oh so many ways

How irritating SS, can you send them a strongly worded email?

It would appear I'm not as averse to honey as previously suspected... Just had some on toast...

that is definitely 6 inches! is it worth it to return? are they from a shop?
