Well, just about to go drop A at nanny's. Her cousins are staying with nanny at the moment and she's going to take them all on the steam train to Minehead - A's very excited. Oh well, day on my own with baby....

Mooki, Fattybooboo, Boogelly, Harley – lovely to see you.
Congrats Pigpen – if you’re getting any time to lurk!
GISI – if you’re Odeon voucher is still available we’d like it. L & I want to go and see Toy Story at some point. We were supposed to go yesterday but we went crabbing with her friend & Mum and had a brilliant time, although the girls screamed like girls every time they caught one. Days out are so much better when they’re free. :money:
Bruno & Mrs Bruno – Congratulations!, & welcome to the world of pinkness. Girls are lovely, honest. (Until they’re teenagers!) Have you told E it’s a girl? Actually, does he understand that girls & boys are different? I’m rubbish at remembering when children understand these things – I remember L being very young, and thinking that everyone was the same, but sometimes the willy fell off and she was one of those ones. She had seen a very young baby with the cord still on and thought that was the bit that either fell off or didn't, making you a girl or boy.
SS – i really wouldn’t worry about Miss Molly talking, they’re all different. L spoke in sentences really, really early (and has never stopped since!). V babbles a lot, but there only a few recognisable words.
And :mad: at OH!
OH p’d me off on Monday and i’ve only spoken to him when necessary since. I was just thinking about it, and I can’t remember why i’m sulking.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIJAH & CHRISTOPHER. :T

just a quick one as i should be getting Charlie ready, MOTM if the car is registered in Lucys name and you have fully comp insurance with the being able to drive another car then you will be ok to drive it home.
However if its registered in your name your insurance policy will not cover you??? strange i know lol!
will be back once the monkey is on the bus!

Minehead...nice.

Enjoy the mother/baby time

Signing off.....breakfast is over and I need to wash/clean up whilst Lucy goes to work to finalise everything, then she's a free woman (at least from there )

Have a good day

OMG some really nasty biting insects about, I have three massive bites on my shoulder, one horrendous one right on the point of my elbow and ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FOREHEAD. ARRRGGGHHHHHHH.

Right. Off to the office and then to my counselling appointment. Gah.

Edit: Thanks 3, I missed your post there for some reason. I generally don't worry about baby stuff - I've never met an adult who didn't grow teeth and she's clearly mobile/verbal but not walking/recognisably talking much yet. I think Mooki's Leila just made me panic a bit because she's clearly Super Baby :rotfl:

Husband has promised to clean the kitchen and he made me a cup of tea this morning but I'm really upset by the way he behaved yesterday and we'll need to find time to sit down and talk about it. I hate that because I always feel like I'm nagging - and nothing ever changes anyway.

I don't have any insurance as I stopped driving when money was tight and now we have plenty i've been meaning to get a car, but just haven't yet. I've been added to Lucy's policy for her car, but that's it. I still have driving licence, naturally.

It is strange how you have put it. If need be, i'll get Lucy to drive it home?

Hope 'monkey' has a nice day :rotfl:

Happy birthday Molly and others yesterday and Elijah and others today (and congrats on team pink).

Huge congrats to Pigpen :j

Only had a quick catch up - hugs to all as usual xxx

Hey Jam :wave:

Happy birthday to Elijah and Christopher
(5th Aug was by due date )

Congrats to PP and welcome to Leonie

MOTM - if the car needs taxing you may need to produce a valid insurance certificate in order to do so. Also, as Caz has mentioned, usually fully comp policies will cover you to drive another car, that does not belong to you but only 3rd party and only if the other car has valid insurance. The easiest way would be to buy the car, sort out insurance and then collect or some garages offer free 7day insurance.

Sugar - Molly sounds very much like Liam and I agree Leila is a very clever little girl.

Morning all,

Btw, November mummies, wasn't scared off.. it was just nice to see you all celebrating each other's LO's varying achievements and not getting competitive or worried about anything

Phew, I was beginning to wonder if I'd offended people somehow and that's why most of the regulars weren't on last night How's fabulous Rhys doing?

Morning. I'm up at stupid o'clock as I'm off to work this morning :eek:.

Aless- I still feed H at night if he wakes up, which isn't that often but maybe once a week or so. He still takes quite a lot of milk if he does wake, so I assume he must be hungry rather than comfort sucking. It doesn't bother me to feed him and it doesn't seem to make him wake more often so I'm happy to stick with it.

Gisi I hope work goes well today for you Isla also still has a night feed, normally anything between 1 & 3am and it's always a proper feed too. I'm hoping she'll drop it herself in her own time.

Sugar those bite's sound sore, I hope you feel okay. Insect bites are horrible. Is kitchen tidying and tea husbands way of trying to apologise for being in the wrong yesterday? I understand what you mean about the nagging thing but now I try to see it not as nagging but as gently steering OH in the right direction. OH fails to adapt and change to Isla's changing needs so sometimes needs a bit of guidance.

Som - the headbands are from Primark! There from the adult section and I just stitch the elastic smaller. Or tie a knot in it if I'm being lazy :rotfl:

If anyone's around the Manchester area tomorrow there's a mini sling meet at Ashton Ikea if anyone fancies it?

There's been a programme on with monkeys and Isla's transfixed, she keeps giggling at the screen and trying to get back to the tv to touch them!

workinmummy

ooh, ooh ooh,

Runs in now finally back on.

My cousin has rang me to tell me that Asda Living Stores (well at least the one he works in in Altrincham) have today reduced the Pampers Mega Boxes to £5. Sizes 3, 4, 4+ and 5.

Have two boxes winging their way to me :T

Not read back, yet, so will come back with yays and hugs later.
