    SJ - Becles is probably the one you want to ask although her FB said she was very busy this week, I think we missed her B-day last week coz she's not been around, August is a busy month for birthdays in here it seems! Its Harley's today and Bruno & Tara share the same date soon.

    OH's other family doggy was put to sleep today :( we knew it needed doing as on friday we had the vet out to give him cortizone type injections as his back legs had 'gone'. we spoilt him rotten all weekend, he even got some left over fillet steak on sat night - lucky boy! Chris prayed to god when we went to church on sunday to ask him to look after the dog and make sure he found his sister up in heaven, it made me cry!

    Hi Bekki, I vaguely remember you now I've seen the unusual spelling of Cyi :D

    GISI - glad your first day back was ok, I bet you squeezed him tight when you got him back (and he prob wriggled away as babies do at the worst times :p)


    I know I'm a sad little pedant but its Monkey Forest not monkey world :p:o

    Good morning all, sorry about OH's doggy sami is awful when you lose one. xx And bless Christopher, what a thoughtful little boy. x

    My friends father passed away and her son wanted to go to the funeral, his comment after leaving was 'at least we got in the front row' she said it helped her get through the day.

    Oscar has to have his jags today but he has a cough and snotty nose so will have to see how he is later.

    Thanks Sami. Aw Christopher is so sweet. And sorry, I think it was me who started saying monkey world, oops!

    So I'm thinking that our night wakings have coincided with weaning too. How strange it happens like this so often.

    Hi there 3 - I have to confess at laughing at your video on FB!

    have your tried V in a sleepingbag? It would mean she couldn't lift her leg high enough to climb out? (that is if she'll keep one on - annabel takes hers off when she feels like it).
    You'd be suprised - Alice managed to climb out of her cot in a sleeping bag.

    I believe you can get some kind of mesh tent thing to go in a cot so they can't get out but I forget what they're called.

    Is anyone on here an accountant or know much about self employed expenses?! I will phone the IR if not but would rather just ask someone I "know".

    Will check for responses tomorrow though as I'm off to bed now. Night x
    Depending on what it is, I might know as I do all our self employed accounts. The IR totally don't give you all the information you need by default because they work on the assumption that most people will have an accountant doing it for them.

    morning all

    3 - I love your video...V is sooooooooo cute.

    Sami - sorry to hear about your doggy :( Are the boys ok? We didn't miss Beccles birthday, I remember everyone saying happy birthday to her but she's not been on since.

    MOTM - my DH has the HTC desire too and loves it. He's on it all the time (I want to break it sometimes lol) but he doesn't do much typing on it.

    I can't remember anything else that I was going to say! We had a more successful night with poos last night....one just as we were going to bed at midnight and the other not until 7am.....but T still woke at 4am wanting to bed fed :( I think I've spoilt him by feeding him when he's been waking for his 2nd poo at that time! I couldn't really settle after that though as I was waiting for him to go lol.

    My poor little man is looking very flushed again today...he's got really red little cheeks and made me really hot while I was feeding him! Just going to take his temp now but I think it's his teeth.

    Hi Bekki - you should definitely post more often and tell us all about your two :) Look forward to seeing you at Monkey FOREST lol

  • Morning All - read back but as usual forgot most of it :D

    Quick rant - arrghh how much do i hate Clarks - fobbed E of last year when she wanted the shoes with dolls in - told her they didn't do them in her size and i'd get them next year. Didn't want to get her them last year as had visions of her taking her shoes off everywhere loseing the dolls -general nightmare. Well caved in yesterday as I had promised - it was worse than i imagined not only are the dolls tiny and easy to lose the arms and legs come off. Driving back from Metrocentre the shout ( well more hysterical scream) I've lost the leopards leg - E cried all the way back 40mins of crying then I had to rake down the seats take car seats out just to find the leg. Found the leg then 5 mins later she fell over as she only had one shoe on and dropped the dolls arm outside on the block paving ..........20mins of crying later I found the arm. :mad: Clarks are giving me a breakdown and I paid for the pleasure.

    Sales, when I got those shoes for Aimee I took the dolls out and put them on a shelf... She was only allowed to play with them in the house... We still have the dolls but the shoes are long gone... I also told her next time she's getting proper shoes with no doll in!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
