    Yummymummy, it was 6 weeks with DS1 (my only vaginal birth, first baby and they don't you things like that) then it calmed down and suddenly I had a period, so all in all, it was 8 weeks. You may find that the bleeding tails off (is it blood or the pale lochia?) and then you go out for a walk and it will start again, so keep a few pads in your bag, but you'll know that anyway.

    DS2 is very sick, he says he has a headache and then was sick when we got home, lots of chesty stuff. You know that way he just doesn't look right? He's sleeping now but still, I worry about him! DH thinks its due to lack of sleep because he gets up stupidly early. How is this boy going to cope with full days at school?

    I heard that some postman just carry RM red cards because they dont want to carry packages around all day, tsk tsk.

    You should complain to your delivery office if that happens. They shouldn't do that and the postman can be disciplined for delaying the mail if they are found guilty of leaving post in.
    I think I have a problem with Andrew. He's in his bouncer, and I turned onto BabyTV - he didn't enjoy it, shouted, and tried to climb out of his bouncer. So instead I've put on a Jeremy Kyle from catch-up ... and he's happy :rotfl: Do I have a chav baby? :rotfl:

    Charlotte always liked the music channels when she was little, especially MTV Dance.

    Josh is 13 and I let him travel into Durham by bus to meet some friends from school. He was in the bus station and saw a number 21 bus and hopped on it. Then when the bus terminated, he realised he was in Bishop Auckland which is miles away! Luckily the driver was sympathetic and said he could stay on the bus and he didn't charge him any extra to bring him back.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Hi Elle, we missed you :) Did you have a great time?!

    Yes and no... place was lovely and we had lots of nice days out, but I got a bit homesick (ashamedly too addicted to technology, methinks! :cool:) and think all three of us have overdosed on each other's company! :p For a non-routine baby, Rhys didn't appreciate being in a different place much. But, hey ho, onwards and upwards.. we're home now and back to normal so all is well :D

    Journey home was seven and a half hours (inc three stops) so only just getting the feeling back in my bum! :p Really should be unpacking and sorting the washing... not watching Wallace and Gromit! :o

    :eek: Good that the bus driver was helpful though.

    Did I get the right day? Signal was too bad at the cottage to be able to get online and check! :o

    We went to Folly Farm on Wednesday and saw the signs (I think) for Bluestone.. are you somewhere near there now? That took 1hr 15m from where we were staying :)

    Where abouts in North Wales Tigs?

    Took Caitlyn to a birthday party this afternoong, she's kind of embarrasing really... All the other children played on the area set aside for the children with a bouncy castle, sand pit and ball pool... But not mine... She wandered around climbing on things she shouldn't be and messing in everything she shouldn't, kept going in and out of the house... Thankfully the birthday girl's grandfather really took a shine to her and was following her around and rescuing her from high places so I didn't have to...

    Aimee's requested no tea and has gone upstairs feeling sick... D's put her in her pyjamas and said she can read her book until Caitlyn goes to bed... He thinks she's just had too much ice cream today (and Caitlyn's poopy nappy just turned her tummy a bit too far lol)... Hope so!!
    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.
