oh I don't envy you with the decorating,Chris has pulled about 4 patches of paint off our walls :mad: I'm desperate to just paint them but how on earth do I keep the kids away from wet paint?!

And that guy is scary weird! are you on PAYG? if so get a new number!

Hope things get better with your mum Tia, everyone needs their mummy sometimes xx

That's my thinking too Sami, i can't get away with not glossing because it's really bad.

I am on PAYG but i can't get a new number cos i've had this one since i was 12 (so 13 yrs!) so i'm attached to it

Morning all. Sorry for posting and running (again) last night, I ran off for a bath before I went to sleep. Had a sleeping through child again, although getting her to sleep was a bit more of a struggle. Happy happy monday back to work now Did I mention when I went back last week I found out my boss has given in his notice and his last day is this week and we have someone new starting on a temp contract (headcount freeze, so they won't take on someone permanent just now), and in my absence I have been voluteered to do the training (which is fine - I trained half the team), so I spent Wednesday updating the training pack that hadn't been used for years. So today I'm back with my trainers hat on. Makes the day go super quick

Oh, and I have to go see about getting the morning after pill. I realised on saturday that I forgot to take my pill until I went to bed, so longer than the 12 hour window. I've not owned up to DH, as he is sulky enough at the mo, but a visit to the pharmacy at lunchtime is in order. Oops! (Despite the temptation not to worry about it and see what happens But I can't do that.)

CFAC = no idea what to suggest with the dog - not a dog person. I assume bunging the dog in the gargen isn't an option? With housework it is hard to know where to start sometimes. I think sometimes it is best just to get on with ~something~ (even if it is while baby is awake, and you lie baby in the middle of your bed while you spend 2 mins having a mini sort through the floordrobe, or whatever, it is still better than nothing!

:wave: Beenie, I was getting worried about you! You make gorgeous kids, those eyes.... I'm glad everything's ok with you and that you sent the letters off.

Sami, I suggest painting after the kids are in bed and then it should be mostly dry when they wake up?

Horrible night here, Molly kicked Husband in the face in her sleep and he made a bunch of noise getting up so I woke up too. Then I spent about an hour trying to find the mosquito I could hear whining in the room, only to realise this morning that it's actually my stuffy sinuses whining as I breathes

Still, another day at home with the beastie while I try to get some work done [DELETED FOR SELF-PITYING WHINGING].

I refuse to spend the last three months of my contract whinging. If you see me whinging please give me a smack.

Right, Molly is playing in her activity dome, I am editing the notes I wrote into an actual paper, and today this and the book proposal are my two main priorities. Once these are done, I will shower and take Molly out to buy some nice notecards unless I can find a nice blank card here.

Edit: I saw these and melted, if anyone else likes them and has a big enough girl? Size 9 only and you get 20% off the sale price if you buy 3 sale items.

good morning,

I hope you're all well.

Sorry to just come on with a selfish favour

But I wondered if anyone knows or has links about which makes of double buggies will fit in the boot of a 1.0 litre corsa club?

Thanks loads in advance for any tips!

Morning all, good to hear from you Beenie and Weezl....

Dont even talk to me about painting...we have some lovely artwork from Henry on our cream walls!! Must take a couple of days off I think to decorate while boys in nursery.

Question: What 'cream' do you use for midgey / gnat bites....William's spot have kinda progressed and look a bit like bites (need to check dog to eliminate flea bites :eek: but shouldnt be as upto date on all that sort of thing). My friend gave me some Benadryl Skin allergy cream and that has made them look less angry but not sure if its ok.. going to check with Chemist at lunchtime but wondered about yoru experiences?

Morning. Not a great night here, Alfie woke up twice for feeds at 3am and 5am. He's been waking up for 1 feed again lately but 2 was hard. I really have to bow down to you ladies who are up regularly in the night, I honestly don't know how you do it.

Lovely to see you Beenie Did you go to Michael McIntyre yet? We have stand by tickets for this Thursday

(((Hugs))) Mel, Caz, Tia and Sugar

Did I mention Alfie has managed to get himself up on all fours a couple of times? :eek: Don't think he's going to be crawling for a while yet but interesting to see him getting up like that.

Got some cupcakes to make today and want to sort out the dining room as have someone coming here for a tasting tomorrow so want it nice and neat. Then going to mum's for dinner. Wonder what my grandparents will make of Alfie feeding himself and opssibly gagging on it?!
