    February, Aless, not December :)

    I've just seen a bloody German in a scarf. It is over twenty degrees and August, just cause it's raining doesn't mean it's cold.

    Also, some woman yelled at me because I walked right into her from behind. She stopped at the top of an escalator, not even off the metal bit, to take a photo of the first thing she'd seen. If I hadn't walked into her I'd have been in the middle of a human pile up and she has the cheek to shriek at me :mad: In English, no less. Granted I speak it (obviously) but we're in Germany. I hate tourists.

    You clearly have a cheeky little monkey in the making there hun!!

    When I had my 4D scan done with Benjamin the lovely sonographer told me that she had been doing this job for over 20 years and that our baby was a real character and that we needed to enjoy every minute of him!!

    I have always wondered what she saw that made her say it but she was definitely right :D

    I fear offending her Bruno lol...

    I'll leave it there until Hubby gets back and then request his permission to remove it lol...

    She's only 16...


    I'm sure my Aimee is brighter than her though...



    Mfd, if this one is anything like it's sisters then we will be entertained for a good few years!

    I do hope it's less of a monkey than Caitlyn though lol!!!

    Yay Krystal, lovely piccie:)

    Grrrrr, finally got back from dh's mates house...what is the point of going to visist someone if you are just going to sit there on your phone most of the time....pointless. We had to nip round to pick up his money for Sunday anyway so not a complete waste of time;)

    Bruno...Just spotted your post, don't worry about not replying, honestly, I wouldn't even have expected you to read back as you are busy at work etc.

    I really should go back to bed as I am shattered and can feel myself getting in a bit of a mood, but T is due a feed about 2.30/3pm and I am still finding it difficult to hand over the reigns as it makes me feel like a failure and as if I can't cope with doing everything myself.....I KNOW this is a stupid way to think, but the more tired I get the worse I become, it's like a downward spiral and I struggle to pull myself back up!! What should I do??
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    You should make the bottle up, tell DH what time to administer it and go to bed Mel...

    She's his daughter too, it's not your failure if he feeds her...

    MOTM - your little old lady neighbour sounds a sweetie, I have a soft spot for oldies like that, even if they can be a little ecentric.

    Had a fab boat trip yesterday and T enjoyed watching the ducks and swans go by, was only 45 min bit really the right length before she got bored. Decided to spoon feed here some mashed up banana while we were having our little picnic and she loved it and ate it much better than her baby rice, hardly spat any back out. Am glad you guys warned me about post banana nappies tho lol!

    Went to the Cinema in the evening to see Knight and Day (great film btw) and Nana and Grandady sat Tahlie for the first time :D According to MIL she was perfect :D She ate her baby rice which MIL made up a bit thicker than normal (after the banana eating we thought it would be better). And even better news she drank all the milk I expressed for her from a bottle, after never taking to one before. MIL tried the TT CTN first and she didnt want it, but loved the MAM silk teat one :D

    Oh and so far (touches wood) no more nipping since tuesday!

    Eccentric is the word. She annoys the girls with her 'are you behaving for your Dad routine' :rotfl:

    Sounds like you had a busy day. T certainly enjoyed her food/drink by the sounds of things

    I tell you what, in the UK I was shivvering last night. Thought it was just me until Lucy told me she was cold too. Had to shut the windows :o

    :rotfl:@ tourists. Did she get a shock when you responded to her in English (assuming you spoke back)
