    In my world if it's before 7:30am it counts as a bad night :) It needs to be light outside for me to consider it daytime.

    My new dishwasher comes today :D:D :j:j

    The old one is sat out the front waiting for one of the multitude of tat men to come and collect it... We usually get a couple a day... You watch none of them come for a week so I'm left with an interesting lawn ornament... (If I had a lawn and not slabs out the front anyway!)

    I also have a lady coming to collect the girls chest of drawers today at some point too... I emailed her at tea time yesterday, then promptly forgot and when I looked just before bed she'd messaged me straight back to say that she could come last night... :doh: She did also say she could come at any time today so cue me at 11pm trying to quietly empty the drawers so that D could get them downstairs for me without disturbing the girls... Epic fail... But once Caitlyn was awake I realised she'd pooped, no idea when she did it, but a good job I spotted it! And then this morning I heard her chatting away as I came round... Then I heard little footsteps running around the landing... It would appear I do need to drop the cot base to the lowest setting then! I shall do it this afternoon, when I build the new chest of drawers...
    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.

    ok who taught my baby girl to climb out of her cot?? i spent most of last night putting her back in it for her to climb out just as quick! she has had a temp all night and is very hot and grumpy this morning, looks like she may have this too :(

    Charlie is moaning as i have no bubbles for the machine and is sitting with a screwdriver trying to take the screws out and 'fix it' PMSL!

    SS are you making the cards yourself or getting a company to do them?

    Tia Well done to Christopher :T. You must be so pleased, that's brilliant news.

    Welcome back Kindof.

    Happy birthday to Poppy.

    MFD V is always taking her shoes & socks off to change into her Crocs. They must be really comfy! If theres a 50/50 chance of getting them on the right feet, why are they on the wrong feet 99% of the time?

    Jennynoo - I'm glad being back at work is ok for you. Your nappy bag is impressive!

    Hi Glam - good luck for interviews.

    Becles - when OH was getting new trainers for running, he found a site that told you to wet your foot and stand on some paper, then compare the footprints with those on screen, then recommended the right shoe for your type of foot. Possibly this site? http://www.therunningadvisor.com/running_shoes.html#pronation

    Krystal - yey for your new dishwasher. Have you been saving up your dishes?

    I've got someone coming to collect my changing table today. It's lucky I found the shed keys yesterday.

    I printed off flyladys list yesterday, and actually managed to complete it. However, the living room looks like a bomb site again already. V obviously doesn't like her books to be neatly on the shelf. :(

    I'm off to see what the flyladys are up to today. L's room really needs doing, i've already got her bedding in the washer. She's having a sleepover next Friday and I don't want her friends catching any nasty disease up there.

    [STRIKE]
    I have a fairy offer. I don't want any fighting to start.... I have a 100% unchewed, never slobbered on, Sophie. My baby seems to be the only one who didn't feel the need to chew on her.
    Free to a good home - PM me
    [/STRIKE]. :D

    It wasn't us. :whistle:

    My mum suggested a cot with a lid, or reins on in the cot when V started to do it. It's quiet worrying that she works with children. :rotfl:

    Hugs for your poorly two - hope it doesn't spread to the rest. :(

    FYI, I just did a survey about pushchairs on SB...seems to like that I have an under 1 year old, so might be worth a try for others?
