    Morning, just popping in to find out about the meet? What date is it and where are people meeting? I'm still hoping I can come, usually they are in places I can't get to!

    We're a water-only household too, mostly because I know it's products we don't "need" and I get annoyed at being told that we need them to be good mothers or something.

    Oh, this teething lark is a bit of a nightmare. After pretty much fixing the sleep problems before we went away, they are now back with full vengeance. I know it's normal to sort of reset after holidays, but it's ten times worse that it coincides with his first tooth so I'm finding it impossible to tell if he's in pain or it's just resistance post-holiday :o. But it's pretty much cut almost all the way through, so should it still be causing him pain?

    would like to win a holiday, please!!

    Birmingham Meet

    Tarajayne..........Lyme Regis by car.

    3 with V & L ......Wirral by car (4 spare seats if anyone wants a lift)
    Jennynoo...........Train from London arriving at New Street station
    Krystal, A&C......Train into New Street

    Keely, it's on 12 August at 11am and we're heading to the Think Tank in Birmingham. I recon Elliot would love it in there :)

    Aless, if his tooth is nearly all the way through then I wouldn't think it would still be troubling him quite so much, but then they tend to come through in pairs so maybe the next one is on it's way?

    I had a real game with Caitlyn's sleeping between about 5 -9 months where she did a lot of waking... I read at the time that it's something to do with a great surge in their development...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    And hugs for all the sicky bigger babies too. Glam, how's Jack? Maz, how's Henry? How are the teething ones? Did I miss any sick babies?

    Henry is fine again this morning and no more spots but keeping him off nursery anyway (just in case).... He did scratch one last night but none of them have gone to blisters so confused mum here... gonna keep on with the Calpol and nurofen especially as he still has this bad throat/cough.

    Probably keep him off Monday as well cos am going take him to the bob the builder thing in the afternoon so bit silly for him to go in for half day.

    Tara - hope Poppie is ok.

    Can anyone answer me re who NR is on FB as cant see her on MSE/FB names list....
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.
  • Argh! Interview in 25 mins and I am SO nervous! I haven't had an interview for 8 years LOL. How stupid, I happily stand up in front of 80+ people and talk for an hour all the time but an interview with 1 bloke has me in bits!



    Hope poppie is okay Tara x

    MAZ Is it Choppy?

    Morning everyone. :wave:

    GOOD LUCK MFD I'm sure you'll be brilliant, and your interviewer is at this minute, quaking in his boots at the prospect of meeting MFD!

    Morning ladies. Thomas isn't himself again today :( He had a really good night in his big cot and slept through until 6am, he needed feeding straight away and by 8am was asleep again in his swings. No smiles or anything inbetween :( just a lot of whinging. His hand was in his mouth a lot so I'm wondering if it's his teeth bothering him again.

    3 - were you doing the best western comps all night? I went to bed after entering the Pontefract one (midnightish) but I can't find the post that said who won. I know it's unlikely to be me but wanted to check lol

    ETA Good luck MFD, keeping everything crossed for you
