    SJ that dress is gorgeous. I am riotously jealous. What shoe size do you wear?

    I'm also very pleased that the name Bastage Camp has caught on.

    :rotfl: Molly is unpacking our shoe rack again.

    all very good suggestions....

    going to bear them all in mind to throw at him, probably after two nights of his whinge bagging....

    if he's not moaning about Landen not sleeping 8 hours straight, then its the dog.....

    Erin asked to call DH Daddy, he earnt that right by himself (even if he messes up at times). Anyone can be a father but only the special ones become real Daddies, and the other way round too, my friend is a step-mum, and a damn good one. They call her by her name but that's their choice but she gets mother day cards.

    Poppie is home, just a virus but she's absolutely fine, better to be safe than sorry.

    CAF, don't know how you stay so calm. X
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    i think its my body clinging onto the drugs from his birth.... that and the fact that I no longer retain information well (another wonderful by-product of Landen's delivery) so by tomorrow I'll have forgotten him moaning.....

    Its like groundhog day but with no recollection of the last :rotfl:

    :cry: I've been crying :(

    I called my Dad as when i spoke to him the other day he didn't sound right.
    I asked if he was ok and he said 'Not really' then when i said 'I dont like it when your feeling sad' i started crying, then so did he.

    My dad never crys to me. He sounded devastated and said he would call me back.

    When he did cal me back, he said his future is looking bleak, then started to make random convo with me. He was even asking about fb. He hates fb, so i think he was trying to steer me away from asking what was wrong.

    I said im always here for him to talk and he said "I will need to take up that offer soon" then told me he loves me and had to go.

    Recently his phone has been cut off, and he said he had no internet or anything. Not good as he has his own business.

    So now im very worried and i cant stop thinking of all these horrible scenarios :crys:

    Sorry to talk about it on here, i know none of you know me but i cant talk about it to anyone else. I spoke to DH but he's the only one.

    Sorry again :crys:

    Blimey ... every time I nearly caught up there were extra pages adding on the end!

    Firstly, SS I love the shoes!
    Everyone is so excited about the baby, 11yo called Lucy the 'M' word, realised her mistake and ran to her room in tears :doh: and when Lucy let her know it was okay, went in the opposite direction and said everything possible to ensure Lucy knew it was a mistake :o She's okay today and we'll have a chat with her later.

    Oh bless her. I'm sure it will all blow over in a day or so :)
    Jam, I made Caitlyn go cold turkey on night feeds about 9-10 months... She didn't need milk in the night nutritionally, it was just the comfort of it... She actually got the message quite quickly and was happy to settle with a cup of water after about a week of settling her without feeding (took Aimee about 3 months to get the message and she still never slept through though so they're all different...)

    I did this with Izzy just after her first birthday and it took 3 days for her to start sleeping through. I didn't leaver her to cry, so there was lots of cuddling and pacing, until she calmed down and agreed to go back to bed.

    We've had a fun day with pick your own-ing (I've got a fruit crumble ready to cook so we can have it for lunch tomorrow :) ) then visited the park. It was with a sure start group, and everyone is lovely, but I can't get over the chavvy babies with earrings thing. Is that really snobby of me? Most people I can make small talk with, but anyone with babies with earrings... I just can't do it! (I can talk to the babies, but can't bring myself to talk to the mums... maybe I need help :rotfl:).

    We are watching ITNG and Izzy is trying to tickle Iggle Piggle and cuddle him. I think I may need to clean the tv screen when she has gone to bed :rotfl:.

    Sorry Krystal, those shoes are surgically attached to my feet and an amputation would ruin them.

    Hugs EA, and to your dad.

    Molly is eating a chopped up version of what we're having :j She normally gets her own roughly mashed food and the odd chunk of what we're having but this is a one pot three people meal and so far it is being greeted with loud and appreciative NOMNOMNOM noises.

    Edit: Sami I've just got an email from Tesco. Would you like the code assuming it isn't too late?
