Morning all! Oh crap, short post as I just heard someone grumbling...

Sales shopper, have you really lost 5lbs in 5 days?! Cheeky!! My poor WW account has sadly sat idle for a little while .

Hope everyone has a good Saturday.

GISI, is this any use to you (and anyone else wanting to go to the Isle of Wight)?

Thanks for thinking of me, Elle. That looks like a very good offer.

I'm getting ready for work, on a Saturday :eek:. How very rude! Only doing a few hours and I'm planning to drink my body weight in fancy coffee so it's not all bad .

We have no stairgates yet, but will get one for the top of the stairs so H can't topple down. I don't plan to get one for the bottom, but who knows!

Henry is currently sat in his high chair shouting Hello :T! So cute!


I hope you feel better soon Mel.

Bruno- I hope OH feels better today and that the weather is good for your BBQ.

My parents house has one set of stairs with a mini landing then a small set of stairs coming off either side. We used to have loads of fun jumping across and could never understand why my Mum used to shout at us!

Oh I used to do this too - I also used to slither down the stairs head first - there was a glass door at the bottom :eek:

OH has been sick yesterday and today... yesterday she was nauseous, threw up while out with E, lots of stomach pain, possibly a bit feverish. Today, nausea subsided over the course of the day and is gone, but shortness of breath and occasional faintness have got worse. She refused point-blank to go to the doctor, then finally an hour ago she's like "maybe we should go to A&E I'm not sure". So we do NHS Direct and they don't think it's an urgent life-threatening issue but they recommend we go A&E tonight, so OH won't go (Friday night in A&E = 4+ hours with drunk injuries, and our neighbours babysitting a traumatised E til 3am) but "might go in the morning" if she still feels bad.

Gaaah.

How is she this morning? Did the maternity unit answer eventually?

Here, once you're pregnant, you bypass A&E. (Which is handy on a Friday night!)

What if you break your leg while pregnant? Do you still get the Go directly to Maternity, go not go via A&E, do not collect a horde of drunks card?

Re stairs, we have none, although there are four flights outside the door. Re gates, we have three, all of which are in the boxes. Two of them are terribly inconvenient and the third doesn't fit (spur of the moment purchase of fancy gate with internal gate for parents by Husband, who failed to read the piece of paper I'd sent him out with with the details of the gates to buy and the width of the doorframes - just over 1m, we live in an old building where people used to wear crinolines and petticoats).

It's a bit of a PITA, I wanted to close the doors to rooms I didn't want the beastie in/she shouldn't be in alone but our apartment is shaped a bit like a capital I with the kitchen at the top horizontal line and living room and bedrooms at the far end, so the baby gate would have been nice for the kitchen door to let the light into the dining room/connecting area - but the only one that fits has to be removed to get past it and we CBA every time we need to get in or out of the kitchen.

Husband still sick and shivering under a blanket on the sofa Molly's apparent new favourite toy of the day is a plastic picnic knife she found in Husband's work bag - is this unsafe for her, given that it's blunt and rubbish, or is the mere "knifeness" of it enough to warrant me taking it away? I worry that my unconcerned mummy pose will get me in trouble, which negates my not worrying.

And on that note, I would like to apologise to mooki for immediately comparing her clever Leila to Molly the other day. I *know* all babies do their own stuff at their own times and I was having an off day. I'm sorry, and I think it's awesome that Leila is doing so much cool stuff so early on.

I can't cope with anymore stinky nappies! We are averaging 5 a day this week due to this barstage tooth :mad:
And they *puke* stink *holds breath* *gags*
Proper poopslopsions as well

OH left the room gagging after poop number 5 last night. Oh and on Thursday night, J pooped on the floor during some nappy free time :cool:

kindofagilr

Morning all, I am waiting for OH to get up so we can get some reduced nappies, I hope they still have some!!

I hope your OH feels better Bruno

cazscoob

hey 3 am doing ok good days and bad but im getting there, think i had my hopes up on the new pram too much and ended up in tears etc when it didnt arrive? have also had app through for councilling for this week so am a bit nervous.

Weather here is horid today, could have done with a nice day out but looks like the housework will be done instead.

Hope Mel and Brunos OH feel better soon

We have 3 kittens Loola, Mog and Blue they are absolutly wild at the moment and the little ones think its a game to get up on something high and cry to get down. I found them all cuddled up with Megan last night and they were purring in their sleep it was so cute. They dont mind Charlie and Erin picking them up etc but make it clear when they have had enough and it all seems to work out?

morning all

pleased to report sleeping baby, he was asleep at 8pm last night till 3am and then again at 6.... so not bad at all...

DH even got up with him at 6am without even being asked/shoved politely......... and EVEN BETTER........

LANDEN HAD POO!!!!

And Daddy got to clean it all up while Mummy snoozed away happily....

muahahahahahahahaha!

Somnium

Stairgates we have two for keeping the dog in/out of various places, considering the size of our house if we get another two for the stairs and 1 for the kitchen its gonna be ridiculous.

Bruno - I dont think that pic would come up well on canvas unless its a really hi res. We ordered 2 canvases recently and I love them but our camera is 12mega pix and its still a lil fuzzy.

and 2 bits of news..

T has her 2nd tooth its the other front bottom one

And I got my Mura Hoping to pick it up this afternoon

My_Fathers_Daughter

Thank you Sami I love you :A


I was playing with the sport in M&P the other day wishing the factory shop would reduce one. One winging it's way to me early next week.

2 left if anyone else fancies one
