Happy Birthday Molly, Amelie and Becles :T

Congrats on team pink Mr & Mrs Bruno :j

Clever Kian :T (And I love the pic of you together on fb, it's gorgeous!)

And I've forgotten everything else sorry I was lurking earlier but didn't get chance to post as I joined Isla in having an afternoon nap

MFD - I paid £106 for my Joolz on ebay. It came with a brand new seat unit and carrycot but the frame had been used although not much at all. The black frames are the newer ones and look very nice.

Asda have started reducing there baby event things, I noticed the prams were £20, lots of bottles/toddler cups were £5 and all the plates/spoons/bibs/dummies were 50p. It doesn't finish until the 8th so I'm holding out for real bargains

Isla had her 8 month check up today and all went well :T They were really happy with her progress and we came away with a toothbrush, full size tube of colgate and a sippy cup. So glad I got there early as I was the second to go in, there were about 30 waiting behind me :eek:

Hugs, kisses and cake where necessary

Evening all...

Congrats on Team Pink, Bruno & Mrs B
Sorry for your loss, sparkle
Lovely to "see" you Mooki and hear wonderful stories of Leila :T

... Some babies settle into a late sleep pattern.. <snip>... I think Rhys was the same way?

Indeedy, young Rhysy is a night owl Current rough schedule is up at 6.30am, nap for 40mins (never 35, never 45 :cool:) at 11am, another nap at 3pm, nap when Daddy gets home (5.15pm), wake for tea at 7.30pm, sleep on Daddy again at 9pm until 12am before waking for 20mins then settles straight to sleep in bed. We let him do what he wants - if he wants to stay up, it's not worth the fight to get him to go to sleep; he'll play quietly on the floor for a while, then go to sleep after little while. And (regardless of any criticism I've had in the past! ) that suits us down to the ground

When I went back to work, my new job offer was "Hours of work: Mon, Wed and alternate Tues and Thurs with flexibility to meet business need" - but in practise it's known as I can p!ss about with my hours as long as I do my job Today OH's boss had the cheek to ask me to change my hours to suit him :eek: Don't mind that much, mind - I'm now working an extra afternoon next week to mingle with a watchful of firemen from the local brigade... It's a tough life! :rotfl:

Hope everyone's had a good day, and Miss Molly has a lovely birthday party (and there's no cake left for Mr SS ) xx

Somnium

Evening all.

Sami - I've pretty much made up my mind I'm having the pushchair, I just need to swing OH round to the idea Harvey is far too clever to be tricked into drops in while sleeping! Think of him more of a grumpy old man than a child.

Sparkle - sorry to hear your very sad news x

Bruno - Yeay for team pink

OH has gone to bath T so have a few minutes to myself Gonna jump in the shower after there done. T has another tooth on the way, its bottom front right this time, poor love was really upset in Tesco early and we got our first real tears so she must have been in pain Anyhoo she's slept an awful lot today, hope this doesnt mean we're in for an eventful night!

Cant remember anything else, better go check on OH and T I can hear him apologising to her!

SugarSpun

We have returned and almost all is forgiven. The icing was just smeary buttercream, I was fuming, but we bought chocolate sprinkles on the way and covered the thing so it looked great. I'm just very upset that we didn't go to the bubbles exhibit because he was faffing around and he then compounded the insult by leaving the cake decoration till beyond the very last second - and then blaming me because he suggested we buy crappy sheet cake from the local discount bakery :mad:

Molly has been given €10, a bilingual German-English phone toy, a sunflower in a pot and a bottle of bubble mix. Mama was given a bouquet for having done so well

SugarSpun

Actually it isn't forgiven. I asked him to do the two jobs he'd said he'd do earlier in the day and he's !!!!!! and moaned while cleaning dried-on poop off Molly's trousers and doing the dishes. And he seems to have closed himself in the living room in a strop. He seems to think I'm being unreasonable by asking him to do stuff in the timeframe he said he'd do it in. I am soclose to giving up.

Kindof - thanks for your kind offer but I'm actually looking for bigger sizes to put away forwhen T outgrows his current. I picked up some stuff for £5/£6 an outfit in the xmas sales but if I can't get anyyjimg for that sort of price I'll just go to Asda when I need stuff.

Redstar - that's fab news re Freddie :j

Had a hectic few days with various appointments etc. I was at the hospital today, thought I was going to have to have a lump on my thyroid removed but the consultant said there's no need and we'll just review it in a year :j On the subject of big poos....T let all his build up out today while Mum was babysitting lol :T We sat him in his redkite inflatable chair today and he loved it. He holds his head up really well now and sat in it happily for 20 mins until he started to get fed up.

(((hugs))) sugar, I don't know what to say as I too would be fuming in the same situation.

AF has returned after almost 18 months of freedom. I feel meh and can hear Isla refusing to sleep for OH, I know I'm either going to be called up there soon or he'll just bring her down with him. Just one night it would be nice for him to get her asleep
