So after doing football, then roller rink i've ripped carpet up on 2 landings and 2 sets of stairs, cleaned all skirtings and spindle banisters on above and cleaned 8 doors and their casings. Plus teas, bath and bedtime, whilst the lazy get sat on his arris ALL day. And this is all because i wouldn't go to burger king, because i didn't have time, so i am therefore deemed to be pathetic all over facebook :mad: And he has been branded a t0sser by someone :whistle:
This makes me so :mad::mad::mad::mad:
One day WM please tell me his redeeming features, because at the moment I want to come up there and kick him out for you :mad::mad::mad:Sorry, should have explained (but dinner was ready), she has refused bottles for the past couple of weeks. I think it's because they only use cups at nursery. They actually had mould round the rims because they had been sitting so long (yucky! I swear I washed them properly).
My head hurts, know that way when the scalp hurts? Was fine till I had my dinner.
We are down to 1 bottle a day (most days, unless mum is being a soft touch
) and no matter how much I scrub and sterilise Benjamins bottles (we have 6) if I leave them for more than a couple of days they start to get little black spots on them...
I am considering throwing out 4 and keeping 2....with a view to throwing them out with the dummies at Christmas!!please listen to MFD - she is a wise woman

Interesting evening here, my new sofas come on Tuesday and I'm giving my friend my old sofa, he came and collected it tonight and carried it home with his boyfriend, took him 20 minutes to walk :rotfl: then I spent half an hour scrubbing the carpet trying to hide the filthy outline where you could blatantly see where it had been! But ran out of carpet cleaner so will need to pick some up tomorrow. So I am sat on a armchair tonight, and actually it is much more comfy than the sofa, I should have just sat here in the first place, I'd have moaned a lot less and probably not been so desperate for a new one!
I've also bought a giant cupcake mould on ebay :drool: and eaten the last of the Dr Pepper cupcakes. That makes me sad. But the knowledge that I could soon make a giant one lessens the sadness somewhat :drool:Mummy to

:rotfl: at the sofa Em.
WM- I think you have a lot of patience as I would have been at the end of my tether a long time ago. I am very :mad:on your behalf.
I need my bed now, fingers crossed for a good night all round.:DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator

When you make the giant cupcake, I recommend cutting a cylinder of cake approx 2" across but 3" ish deep out of the base piece and filling it with buttercream when you put it together, as otherwise that bit is just too much dry cake. The top's ok cos you can put frosting all over that.
We have the most horrible patterned 1970's style red / green / blue / cream / pink carpet in our living room - it's only redeeming feature is that it doesn't show any muck whatsoever.0 -
I'd imagine I'd feel the same actually, one of the reasons I wanted to wait until S is at school to have baby number 2 is cos I wasnt sure how I'd deal with small baby being a skank and dribbling/puking/bogeying/pooping and constant queasyness, YUK.2 babies and not PG please.
I was achey and grumpy and couldn't sleep on my tummy.
(whereas now I'm achey and grumpy but my fave bed position is ALL MINE! LOL)
I think I've slept on my front every single night since S was born!!
Did you see the cheap "pizza" recipe I posted a few days ago? I wondered if you'd be able to adapt it for CFR in some way. I know theres already a pizza recipe on there, but this one is quicker to make as you dont need to do breadmaking for the base.Mummy to
