morning!!

much better night here thankfully.

how is everyone this morning?

we are out later for our anniversary/my birthday meal. going today as DH is off so we can go early with Kian. Fri (anniversary) we are both working and it would be 7pm brfore we would even get to restaurant which means Kian would be asleep and then Sat (my birthday) DH is working which means a late trip out as well.

and...i have a voucher for a free bottle of house wine when we order 2 main meals so it is a bit :money:

BM- i got a crown earlier this year and it was super shiny too but it will get less shiny over time.

Becles - Charlotte is so rockstar!

SS - I think you got me muddled with CAFC, but thanks x

Kindof - when the say they don't attach I think they mean they don't tie or velcro on, you just thread the harness through the holes, which if E is in a wriggly mood means it way slip down a little. Im just gonna sew on some ribbon or something if I find this happens with T, Much more MSE than forking out for the actual maclaren or maxi cosi ones. We love dungaree's in this house and have hand me downs and new ones from mothercare, matalan, sainsburys and tesco. My best friend has bought T some lovely ones for Xmas from H&M too Oh and big yeay for sleeping through x

Right OH bering a typical man has left getting his Mums 60th Birthday pressie to last minute.com, so me and T need to go out and get her one. He has at least told us what to buy so need to go hunt out a bottle of Ghost, which is great but we have about £8 in our bank account so need to go raid the savings (whats left of them!).

Maz, what's a Rumpletum? And Happy Anniversary!

Its something we discovered in Sainsburys - they call it Rumbledethumps, its basically "A delicious Scottish inspired recipe of potato, swede and savoy cabbage, topped with mature Cheddar cheese." but we have adapted it so that any veg left over from Sunday dinner gets chopped up like cubes and then put in a bowl with grated cheese mixed in and then we put it in the oven to cook through....last night we had some and there was enough to go in a container in the freezer!!!

Happy Anniversary Jillie - nearly the same day !!!

I can't stop crying.

I got my crown fitted today and it's so so so ugly. So so so obvious. I got a metal crown because I can't afford the £600 they charge for a white one, and as it's a molar, it's not valid for white on the NHS. But when I smile, you can see it straight away, and it's so polished and shiny, so even smiling, all you see is the tooth sparkling away, it looks insanely BAD.

Why is it so shiny I can't stop fretting over it. I feel like a pirate.

Buttons I'll ask DH if anything can be requested to help with the shininess. Which tooth is it? ie which molar?

SugarSpun

Thanks Maz

Sorry Som, I wonder what it was I wanted to ask you?

Becles, Charlotte sounds so cute. Can just imagine you taking 'Banana' and 'Orange' to the park :rotfl:

CAFC if you're out ther *hugs*

Going to have to be rigorous in strapping madam into her little chair, she's figured out how to 'walk' herself down it so her legs dangle over the edge :eek: I forget how big she's getting now.

:rotfl: But if you can have "Apple" where do you draw the line?

Very true Susan, Bob Geldof's got a 'Peaches' too. Although they're both girls (with daft names)

Thanks hun, and everyone.....
I'm a bit mental at the best of times and its just all been mounting. Things were better yesterday night, and I did get up and do L's morning feed, and now DH has him in bed while they watch tv together and he gets his second breakfast (Yes my baby is a hobbit!)

Awww you're sweet, maybe in the new year we can all arrange to be at the lakes at the same time or something, and hang out for a day..... since you've been mentionning it, ive been intrigued and then we were watching Lakes on a Plate yesterday and I wanna go! :T

Anyone know where can get nice dungarees elliot's weight makes him pretty much too big for 6-9 month trousers, and even some 9-12 month ones we have are tight on his belly, but are far too long on the leg as well.

So i got thinking this morning that the might be more comfortable in dungarees, he does have some cotton pants which aren't as tight on his belly, but i am worried about him getting codlin the winter in those

Confession time
I've found exactly the same thing for L (and of course he is not benefitting massively from E's dungaress ((thanks hun ))....
What I thought of doing for trousers is just putting some tights on him if its really cold. I know theyre meant for girls etc,but whatever he can cross dress now :cool: just some cream ones or something, and then the jersey cotton trousers over the top.... L seems much mor comfy in jogger style bottoms than jeans etc, as the jeans cut into his fat belly :A

So despite my early start, and the dog phishing up the sofa, i've got a nice cup of coffee in my xmas mug (Im not ashamed to admit it!) and im feeling ok....
Challenge with chatting to HV is three fold.... one all the ones ive met are proper drippy and wet, and two i dont really like talking to people, and three i just dont want to :rotfl:
I have days where im fine, dancing on the ceiling etc, and then days where i just feel like DH doesnt understand anything, proper drag me down....

but if i were to seriously think about it with a level head, i know im not depressed.... just phished off and upset..... but given my personality, i end up blowing it out of proportion...

Plus i started the contraceptive pill last week and it was awful, felt so sick, vomitting etc, read the leaflet and low and behold like Susan it should never have been prescribed to me - although why i expect anything other than giant c*cks ups is beyond me!!! And its given me a horrendous skin irritation as well on my knees and elbows, which itch like crazy so im wandering about slathered in sudocream all day.....
I stopped taking it after 4 days, but the rash is still there and ive know had AF for 9 days (although its tailing off now)....

phew giant post, all woe is me, i do apologise to all....

i need to re heat my coffee now

Michelle - do package turn up? I know KK got hers and i posted them same time, so just wondered....

KK - How was T's night last night, better i hope?

Kindof - YAY for E sleeping through....

Hugs and love to all who need them, and thanks to everyone for being a support
