  • I really need to do the hoovering that I haven't managed yet this week... But I also really need a nap whilst Caitlyn is asleep...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • Morning all,

    I've had an email about home testing baby equipment from saros, looking at the 'screening out' quiestions I believe its to home test a breast pump. At least they want someone who uses a breastpump regularly. No good to me but if anyone is interested I can forward the email on to you. You don't get to keep it but they pay you £50 for testing it.

    PM me your email address or message me on fb and I'll send it on.

    We are diseased here at the moment, OH and the kids have a virus which involves copious amounts of throwing up and moaning about it. Good times for the washer and me!

    I did escape to Zumba class last night which was completely fab, how was yours Becles?

    I got one GISI - and I shaved my legs! Took ages, and a machete but it's done. Just as well, since they were hairier than Husbeast's.

    I heard a really funny quote on a tv show (Everybody Loves Raymond) a few weeks ago and you just reminded me about it. A young couple have been recently married but the wife starts giving out relationship advice, to which Raymond's (long time married) wife replies "And how long have you been married, 3 months? I bet you still shave your legs!" Made me laugh anyway! :rotfl:

    Why would anyone need to complain about people pushing prams? (I get annoyed by people who fill the pavement with prams and expect you to jump out of the way but I'm assuming you weren't doing anything like that.)

    Apparently it is an absolute nightmare to have to wait 45 seconds for 5 ladies with prams to come through a door before you can come through.

    Tigs, agree with others, you were fab and came across the most sane mother IMO! I loved the hippy's water birth, it looked amazing and so peaceful.

    That bit made me cry too as that's what I wanted :( I will be having it next time though :D

    Grrr at your OH too.

    MFD, Benjamin sounds ever so cute.

    Millie's Mum I don't suppose I can pop to yours for the Loola today? I will stand at the door so as not to get the lurgy. Feel free to say no if it's not anywhere accesible! (DH has rushed off in the car with my pram and sling in so I can't get anywhere today :mad:) Also has Ikea meatballs in the boot that were meant for the freezer yesterday but that's my fault. Oopsy.

    PS fabulous weather here, sunny and windy which reminds me I should go hang out my washing!

    Molly hasn't quite understood the function of nodding despite my constant wobbling head whenever I say yes.

    This morning I almost sobbed like a baby, she woke up at Unfeasible O'Clock after going to bed a few minutes after Embarrassingly Late, and when I finally managed to prise my eyes open enough to look at her she gave me a massive smile and a two-handed wave and Hiiiii, Mama!
    :THow lovely!!

    Me so sleepy! I spent an hour this morning retrieving all the toys that were under the tv cabinet and chairs and hoovering the lounge, I now has a big pile of toys and no energy to sort them :p

    With all the talk of making bread last night I dunno if anyone is interested in the deal Approved foods have emailed: When was the last time you baked your own bread. With this mix all you need is water, an oven and the ability to turn your oven to gas mark 7!

    Each bag costs 89p and can make either 13 loaves or 105 bread rolls - Buy Online

    I did escape to Zumba class last night which was completely fab, how was yours Becles?

    I never got :( My IBS has been playing up and I didn't get a lot of sleep on Sunday night. The class is on from 8.30pm and by that time I was too knackered to go :o Hopefully next week though. Pleased you enjoyed yours.

    Had tears and nursery this afternoon as Charlotte didn't want to be left. The nursery nurse took her and I left them cuddled on the sofa together, but I felt awful leaving her. She'll probably be ok two minutes after I've gone as she settled in well yesterday. The nursery nurse has been there since the school opened in 1978, so she's had plenty of experience with little ones :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    I need help (of the culinary kind;))

    Ds1 has got a Victorian project that needs to be in by Friday! We have decided to go with a food theme...we are doing a poor/workhouse diet and a wealthy/aristocratic diet. For the poor one it's easy (and cheap) Some bread, HM soup and a bit of cheese:) I am worried the rich one is going to cost quite a bit, but has anyone got any ideas of what we could (cheaply) cook? Am I right in thinking Mrs Beeton was the woman of the time:)

    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
