    SS - aww that sux that you cant think of anything for a pressie! I'd be happy with books, a pedicure for the summer or a new charm for my braclet am not very demanding lol. Ooh and scared of German hairdressers as in you dont trust them? Or a genuine phobia?

    red - I know what you mean I loved being pg and then had moments where I couldnt wait for it to be over!

    beenie - yeay for paying for the apple :D hope you love it when it turns up x

    EA - Boo at your non sleeping again, did you book that doc appointment?

    delain - heya :D

    fattyboo - we have pixie at mothercare and we are wanting pics too, so popped in yesterday to ask about their packages and the woman realed of loads of prices and totally confused me lol, why cant they just have it printed on a leaflet! Anyhoo were prob going back sat now just gotta decide what I want T to wear for it. Oh and my vouchers have gone missing :( I blame OH and his compulsive tidy instinct, bet they turn up after the even.

    Well up early again as OH is off, there isnt enough room for all 3 of us in bed in a position that I trust OH not to squish T! Cant he just see Id like a lie in one morning and get his butt outta bed. Im stubborn and refuse to point out to him cos will just get told am moaning and its his week off :( So no matter how many times he asks me why Im grumpy and I reply Im tired he still doesnt get it grr. Anyhoo off to baby massage later so a few hours apart, and I know he's jelous cos he wanted to come with hehe.

    Som, German hairdressers have two default options: you can have either a mullet or a Hilary Clinton. I want neither.

    I'd love books, but I have so, so many already that I've not read. What I really want is a clean tidy apartment, and hopefully Bruno's FB suggestion of a cleaner for the day will be picked up...

    morning!!

    dull, miserable day here so much for the sunshine they have been talking about on the weather.

    feel like i have had hardly any sleep but this is due to DH coming in at 1.30am and deciding that he had to talk to me!!! then he fell asleep on top of the duvet leaving me wide awake! men!!!!!!!!!!! took me ages to fall asleep and then K woke at 5am for a bottle.

    SS - :eek::eek::eek: at either of those options! and you can never have too many books imo, just not enough room for them in my case lol. Hope OH gets the hint :D

    jillie - my OH does that all the time! Infact he doesnt even need to speak he's just so damn noisy about coming to bed, like last night I went up at 10.30 he comes up at 11.30 and wakes me and T and the next thing I know she wants feeding and he's snoring his head off in bed!!

    SS, something indulgently spa related? Or is that too clich'e?

    Rather good night for us last night, in comparison to how things had been going. Am sure it's just a fluke but I'll take what I can get. DH back at work today, which is good as I have about a gazillion household tasks today (somehow housework never gets done when he's home?) plus am meeting Jenny & cute little Erin for a cuppa later :D. (at which point I would steal her stripey babylegs, but alas they might be too girly for my little boy)

    And then very foolishly, needed to stop at IKEA on the way home. Eeeeeek, I have reasons why I don't go to IKEA on weekends/Bank Holidays! Took ages to get out of the place due to traffic.

    Oh! Do they have their "Swedish Week" on at the moment? Did it look at all interesting? :)

    I was very polite, I deleted the first one of 'who the !!!! do you think you are telling her she cant wish her HUSBAND a happy birthday you skany ho?!' :rotfl:

    I so wanted to post something like "Well, you've learned that his wife knows him better than you then haven't you?" but I am glad I resisted now.
    Where is Bruno hiding today? He played a Lexulous move this morning and he has been awol ever since :( I hope everything is okay.

    Thanks :p but no, as I am back from holiday my daytime Facebooking is once again mostly a distant dream (blocked in the office) and anyway yesterday I had a hideous meeting, in a basement from 10-6.30 :eek: followed by a nice meal out with team.

    Unfortunately then followed by a journey from Victoria to Earlsfield (about 5 miles, 25 mins on train when things work well) which took 2.5 hours... a suicide at Wimbledon meant the train didn't stop at my station then was fast for 40 minutes out of London! Then on the eventual return leg it sat there motionless for 20 minutes in the dark etc etc. Eventual cab home from an intermediate station got me back for midnight :mad:

    I feel for people with bad sleeperbabies, especially AF :( it is a great hardship. Elijah is more than capable of sleeping through nowadays, and often does, but he is still very very random.

    E.g. last night he slept through, but the night before last he woke 4 times (11.30, 2, 4.30, 5.45), all only took 2 minutes to settle though. Twice he was sobbing, the other two times he was shouting "WIPE NOSE SNOTTY" over and over :rolleyes: I wouldn't mind but his nose wasn't snotty at all :p He does a similar thing - at bedtime as a delaying tactic we think - of "BUTT CHANGE" even when it doesn't need it...

    Husband has asked if there is anything I would like for my birthday. The things I would like are all the sorts of things you can't send or receive as gifts - certainty in where we're going next, things to be sorted out, stuff like that.

    I would like a nice haircut, but I'm afraid of German hairdressers. Any thoughts on things he could plausibly give me that I'd like?

    SHOES!!!
