He finally fell asleep gone 4 and has been up for the day since 5.30 *yawn*

Aw no I honestly don;t know how you do it on so little sleep all the time. I'd have Tia crossing the street to avoid me, she'd think I was a zombie!

Morning all. We had a lovely evening last night, but got home at 10:30 to a little girl who was still up with granny and grandad. Got her to bed about 11 or so, then me to bed at about half 12. Then we have been up again since 4am. Today is going to be a struggling day, but never mind. Maybe DH will let me have a nap later.

Nightmare! Slightly different but when me and my sister were little and sometimes had this lovely old couple babysit us, we would run up to bed when we heard our parent's car in the drive! My mum only found this out when I told her a couple of months ago, the bazbysitters always said we'd been in bed ages! :rotfl:

I used to babysit for two little boys who would NEVER stay in bed. Even if they were in bed when I got there they would come down and climb all over me when they herd their parents leave - I was obviously a soft touch!

She had a lovely time with my parents watching the athletics and a prom on the tv, so at least there was something on that was suitable! I don't know why she was so restless when she did go to bed though - not sure if it was teeth, or if she thought I was going to leave again? She won't let me look at her mouth this morning, so possibly a bit of both. I'm now resisting the temptation to break out the jaffa cakes to help me through the morning.

Aw hugs Hammy.
Jack woke screaming at 9.45pm and wouldn't stop, was definitely his tooth but nothing would settle him except an ice pop of water.
Never saw the end of the film - hey ho!

Hammy, I thought the Time Traveller's Wife was a good book. Normally I mostly work on the principle that if a book is rubbish I put it in the charity box in the hope that someone else will love it, if it's ok I take it to a book swap run by a friend of a friend so I can give it a vague recommendation if need be, if I think it's good I give it to a specific person I think will love it, and if it's great I give it to someone specific and then replace my copy as and when. I gave away my Time Traveller's Wife and haven't yet replaced it but keep meaning to.

We have a lot of books, but well over half are Husband's. He won't hear of passing books on.

Not a bad night here, very tired still but getting closer to being no longer jetlagged and back into a normal timescale. And today we're going to the zoo :j

Edit: article in the Observer about a study that found no adverse effect on children whose mothers go back to work.

Asda have changed the packaging/pack size and on their nappies and are selling the old ones off for £2 a pack. Asda in Warrington had loads of action fit and comfy dry but only in size 3. Trafford park had a few different sizes but I snapped them all up lol. I'm going to try T in the action fit size 4 as the size 3s were great at the leak but leaked up the back! The comfy dry (green packet) are great for bedtime (and contained the most horrendous number 2 this morning.....altho I did carry him flat on his back, as quickly as I could, from the bed to the nursery lol.

I won the shoes!!!!

SugarSpun

Fantastic, I was stalking the end of the auction and hoped that was you and you didn't have a co-sniper rotfl:

TBH, a pair of party shoes like that should never be set to end at this hour of a Sunday morning when the target market are mostly sleeping off Saturday night. It's just bad planning on the seller's part.
