hi everyone,
haven't been on since last week, so hope everyone's had a good weekend. Just trying to catch up now - hugs to Mel and Caz and anyone else who needs them!
Tia - I think your letter sounds like a good idea, just see what happens...
MFD - Hurrah for secret news!!!!

Well, Freddie slept fantastically well on Saturday (so well, in fact, that I suspect daddy may have added something to his milk when he did his last feed on Friday night!) - I had to wake him up at ten past eight!
However, he made up for it last night and woke up at; 2.30, 3.10, 3.30, 4.00, 4.25 and then wouldn't go back to sleep. Our walls are so thin that I daren't let him cry at night as he will wake up all the neighbours (I know as I hear them talking!), so I ended up taking him out in the car at 5am in my pyjamas and driving him around until he eventually fell asleep at quarter to 6! I just hope no-one I know saw me!!!!

Oh, and in other (non-sleep related) news, we tried F on some baby rice yesterday for the first time. the face he made was quite a picture, but he got really excited, and his arms shook madly!

We could always get a big rug but would it look stupid with the dodgy carpet at the edges of the room? I dunno!

Our living room looks terrible at the moment - we have a beige rug with a cream floral pattern which covers the space in the middle in between all the chairs. Then the carpet is a dirty stained terracotta-ish coloured carpet. The patchy paintwork and lining paper with air bubbles under it don't help either.

I should add that it was a repossession which is why it's a bit of a state but it's better than your average repossession - some we looked at you would have had to strip out all the woodwork incluing floor boards and hack off all the plaster just to make them liveable in.

My house is just manky cos it's a rental! The floorboards in the living room are amazing old wide ones and if it were our house I'd be binning the carpet and doing the boards up. But it's not and I'm not putting all that work into it when we won't be staying here. Plus it's a bit tricky with all the dust etc now we have Alfie.

OMG my baby is unbelievably stroppy. If the horror in the shop downstairs wasn't a chainsmoker I'd haul the baby down there and tell her that since her kids woke mine and put her in a horrible mood she can damn well entertain her :mad:

So I am going to wrestle some tasty pork, carrot and potatoes into her and we're going to the post office and then to look at suitcases. Husband's cabin bag is falling to bits and I have decided that I want to give him his Christmas presents in a new one.

afternoon all

got out of the house today and feel better for it, although am now dog tired LOL
Got my sister's birthday presents from DH and I and then something from Landen as well....

Landen was very well behaved and fell asleep after about 20 mins of walking.
back home for chippy lunch and we're watching the last lord of the rings whilst daddy gets over his man flu.... i feel a bit guilty as he looks and sounds like carp and has a temp......

Our new flat has a very, very purple master bedroom. I like purple and all, but this is a lighter shade that's quite feminine. DH wants to paint it, but I'm loathe to put money and effort into rentals just for something silly like changing the wall color.

Weezl might know this, but is there any reason not to give liver to babies?

Beenie whatever happend to the community service guys doing your decorating? i know its not ideal but they will be well checked and it will save you from having to do it!
My house is rented and the whole thing is magnolia still as i find it easier with little handprints and the occassional picture lol! Every few weeks i hire a carpet cleaner for the cream carpets(can you tell it was a man who owns this place lol!) and give the walls a once over, its now more than overdue and starting to annoy me!

CAFC Glad you managed to get out for a bit and chippy lunch sounds sooo good! the only downside to living here is you need to travel to get anything
Think my plans are to clean and sort out today and hopefully if the weather holds out then we will have a nice day out tom.
better go Erin is pushing her bottle in my hand and saying 'thank you' hehehe
