    Morning all! Finn kept waking up randomly in the night crying for a few minutes, the falling back asleep, so I'm thinking it's those pesky teeth again. Hope everyone else has a good Monday!

    Morning

    I feel like crap this morning - not fair! Got a headache, incredibly sore throat and a stuffy nose.

    Another morning of revision. I'm not confident about this and very nervous.

    Have a good day all xx
    Here I go again on my own....
  • Hope you feel better soon, Becles!

    Any job news yet, Aless? Did you see me say I think we decided on 21st Oct for the meet?

    It's another beautiful day here. I think we're off to softplay then to pick up dry cleaning, so all very exciting here! I'm off for an overnighter in London tomorrow! Actually really looking forward to it as we get to see all the Christmas stock and drink the drinks, then a black tie dinner in the evening.

    Feel better soon Becles, and good luck with the exam. i'm sure you'll do better than you think.

    Aless, Molly does that sometimes, I assume it's tooth related.

    Morning all! I'm feeling extremely productive already, just been out to Aldi for their Monday morning offers. They have sets of 8 plastic storage boxes and everyone was buying them. I was getting worried as I was walking over there because everyone was coming out carrying a couple of sets of them but I got my two and a few baking bits as well.

    Day off today. Both sets of grandparents still on holiday. So its mummy daycare. Plus new carpet for stairs and landings coming today, so i'm stuck in until they come.

    Good luck today Becles x
  • I hope the carpet people come nice and early for you WM so you're not stuck in all day.

    Is Susan around? If so how are you feeling now?

    Henry has just climbed up onto the sofa on his own :eek:. I have a monkey boy!

  • Morning all.

    We discovered yesterday that Benjamin says 'gock' for milk (I suspect this is one of MIL's phrases but I will let it pass....for now). The first thing he asked for this morning was 'Gock?' and I feel like a pants mummy because I haven't been giving him milk first thing in a morning (except on the odd occasion where we are up early and we lie in bed having a cup of coffee/cup of milk) for months and months and months :o


    I then asked CM how he was settling for his nap for her, explaining that I was having problems with him at night. She says no problem, when she says nap time Benjamin grabs his dummy and his elephant, climbs the stairs, unzips the travel cot and climbs inside, lays down and says 'bye-bye'...CM zips him up and leaves and he sleeps!!! She said 'oh sometimes he asks me to sing twinkle twinkle so he can do the actions' :(

    I guess he won't be the first baby to behave like an angel for others and a b00ger for his mummy but I feel like poop :(

    Morning all another early start for us 6am! But T enjoyed crawling around the bed and climbing over me for a bit before we got up. She deffinatley has tooth number 4 as I could feel and see it :D Hope fully things will calm down a little now. Waiting for a delivery and a collection today which is a shame cos its really nice out again. Hopefully they'll come early and I can go for a walk with T.

    Tia - you recommended organza rolls, where did you get yours?

    CAFC - yeay for L piddling on Daddy :D thats karma for you.

    WM - hope your not waiting for the carpet too long.

    SS - woot for storage bargains.

    Becles - feel better soon.

    Aless - T has deffinatley been waking more with the last 2 teeth coming through, which ones of Finn's are coming through?

    Morning MFD. Would it help to think of how well you've taught Benjamin to behave and how comfortable and secure he must feel to be able to test his boundaries with you and not others?

    MFD - Sending a hug. As SS says, it's a sign what a good mother you are that Benjamin is so well-behaved for the cm, it's much better than the other way round where they are a monster for anyone other than you - believe me!
    Becles - sending get well soon hug, I hope the exam goes well.
    GISI - have fun on London
    Aless - bad luck with the teeth. Hope you can catch up on some sleep later?
    SS - I'm really impressed with your productivity - can you please send me a boot up the backside? Desperately need to get tidying as the house is a mess (wet washing everywhere!) and our buyers are coming this afternoon for another look and to measure up.
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)
