In better news I have plans to break out my super new iron this evening :T:T *rolleyes*

Oh, how exciting! Should a new iron purchase be in bold?!?

Which one did you get?

Yes, when all my clothes are clean I can barely close my drawers and the hanging rail in the wardrobe really sags! DH says I have too many clothes but we all know my wardrobe and drawers are too small

I agree. We have two massive wardrobes and Husband has one whole one and a third of the other, plus a bunch of the storage above mine is taken up with Not My Stuff :eek: :rotfl:

Also, Molly crawls! :T:eek::cool:

MFD must be very depressing, do you expect to get a 'firm answer' about the future any time soon, or will things keep dragging on/trickling downhill? Are you doing anything active yet about pursuing alternatives, or still crossing fingers?

LOL at your mum! How did you persuade Mrs B to let you tell her?

There is an announcement being made to the companies that I work with this week. Then a big meeting on 17 June. If a decision is not made by the end of June I will start looking for a job in earnest (in theory I have until 30 September)

On the other hand, honey is awesome

We visited my parents at the weekend to tell them about the new pregnancy. It was my mum's birthday last week, so we gave her a card with a photo from the ultrasound in it. She looked at it and said "ohh, thanks, nice to have a hard copy finally" - she thought it was a print of Elijah's 12 week scan! :rotfl: how we laughed

That's really interesting.

Were your parents pleased once they were told about the pic?!

Edit: Yey go Molly!!! :T

Hello all,

*hugs* for MFD
*hugs* for Alice - glad it's not asthma, and I hope she gets over the whooping cough as soon as possible

I'm sitting here with a baby who has been needing a nap for at least the last hour and is only just dropping off now. I hope she will go for naps a bit easier when she starts nursery! I'm due back to work in just over 5 weeks and have booked her settling in sessions I've just about given up getting her to take formula: she just won't drink it, so I hope she'll be okay at nursery without bfeeding as I can't express enough to send in with her. It's one of the things I worry about the most: her screaming all day if she can't feed. She can have as much water or juice as she wants.

I'm waiting in for a washing machine to be delivered - is it sad that I'm looking forward to getting it? I've a backlog waiting to go, so I hope the weather improves and I can get it all out on the line!

Well done Molly!!! woohoo!

Now to tell Amber and make her jealous so she does it next week lol

My_Fathers_Daughter

Squishy - remind me how old LO is?

Will she take a bottle of EBM? (I know you said you couldn't express enough - just wanted to know if it was the bottle or the formula that she objects to).

BrunoM

Thanks they were very pleased (emailed me that evening to tell me they were drinking champagne in celebration )

OH just gave in over time, about telling my mum. I promised to run interference if necessary if she got too full-on, and she realised she did kinda want to tell her dad, and given that she sees my mum every week or two it couldn't be kept secret for that long realistically anyway... so yes. All good.

We went to a park (Golders Hill Park in Hampstead) with my mum on Saturday, and Elijah tore around like a madman as usual. He was in t-shirt and shorts, and he picked up his first proper scabbed knees from running and falling over he's obviously hurt himself many times previously but this was proper blood dripping down both legs stuff! :eek:

It obviously made a big impression on him - it inspired him to his longest coherence yet - yesterday and this morning, he has been frequently repeating

"Run fall down hurt knees! Cross road granny. Car HOT."

(the car was very hot when we left, parked in the sun!)


Ooo - gogo crawlymonkey Molly! So much drama and excitement to come! Is the house ready for a mobile Molly yet?

Squishy, try not to worry. You may find she accepts formula at nursery when she sees the others having milk. Out of interest, did you use pre made cartons or powder? Even if she doesn't take any while at nursery, so long as she has a couple of good feeds the rest of the day she won't be harmed in any way.

OMG my fish just needs to stop staring at me! Its creepy.
