Sparkle... Dry SHampoo? What's wrong with scraping back into a ponytail?

What can I say?? Im vain!! Although I cant be that vain cos I cant be a$$ed going and washing my hair (I will need to shower when I get home as Im off out tonight I think....just incase you all though I was being smelly!)

I got sent for a shower about an hour after Caitlyn was born so I washed my hair while I was in there... The midwives were really surprised?!

Hi, we're back - thanks MDW, MOTM, MFD for your wishes. F really screamed this time, but he seems ok now (calpol in arm's reach, just in case ). Well, at least that's over for another month...

I'm glad he's doing ok and hope he isn't too crabby for you

Right - can someone tell me I am mad - I am considering inviting MIL to come away with us because she has been a bit down lately but I know I will want to get away from her if she does come...I need a slap!!

I would invite her, and if she says yes I would make sure and book a series of spa treatments for yourself at sensible times so just as she's getting annoying you can take yourself off and come back refreshed.

We once went away with my in-laws when A was just a bit less than a year - it wasn't pretty. They spent most of the time in the pub, and the nights were seriously stressful. Everytime A cried, everyone came out of their rooms, turned lights on, slammed doors, went to the loo and flushed the toilet, so any chance of settling her back to sleep went completely out of the window....
I wouldn't completely rule out going away with them again - but it would have to be completely seperate accommodation.

I had a bath ran for me after Lexi was born Bleugh! Asked for a shower so I could wash my hair, Tom was like 'you have just washed, blow dried and straightened your hair at home an hour ago through contractions!' :rotfl::rotfl:

A bath :eek: That is minging!

I had to take a stool and my hubby into the shower with me because I could hardly use my legs after 2 epidurals :rotfl::rotfl:


Will see what hubby says about MIL tonight. Maybe just taking her out for a day or 2 before we go would work???

i think she would live on milk alone but cutting it down doesnt help her eat any better and i cant see any more teeth? think its just one of those things as she is a stubborn little madam at the moment?

MFD you could always take me on holiday and ill even watch the boys while you and OH get a night out lol!

Caz, I'd just carry on as you normally would, sit her down with everyone else and offer her the same meal... If you don't make a fuss or an issue then she'll probably get over herself pretty quickly...

Caz,

Lexi is driving me insane right now with her eating habits, meal times are awful right now as we always end up in a tussle! Its obviously bothering me more than it is her. She is a fussy little madam and it seems the more I make of it the more she plays up for me, so Im being sneaky and not taking her on when she starts and take the plate away but just keep going over and popping bits into her mouth!
Not a long term solution but she eats and I keep my sanity.
Sorry not that helpful but at least you know your not the only one


EDIT See you all later Im off to Toys R Us xx
