    My KH actually threatened to do that to her car once so that would go down like a lead balloon!

    Problem is I know its her numpty of a husband... He's got 'mates' who will come out, say 'oh no no dodgy MOT bad this, broken that etc etc' then take my car and a large wodge of money and then 'part ex' it for some heap of crap with numerous problems. Something similar has happened before.

    On the plus side I have not heard from her since sunday :j:j

    As for Squeak's poo mess :eek: just wow lol. Glad I wasn't in your house this morning :o

    Seems strange, all the babies are really growing up fast.

    OH did all the washing yesterday, so now all of it is clean, just left me with a mountain almost my size to put away... which I can't do at the moment because Squeak is 'helping', which consists of standing against the sofa pulling things off on to the floor :p

    ETA Rach good luck with mortgage :D

    Mines in bed.. has been for about 1.5 hours... peace and quiet!!!

    OH is out playing in the garden

    I need to move and get a drink and sweep the kitchen, hang out laundry and lug 2 huge wash baskets downstairs... but I really can't be bothered!

    Thanks PP & BB, lets hope we don't have too many false alarms, as I'm sure she'll be exploring all four corners of her cot.

    We're on nap two of the day though, this hot weather seems to be exhausting her nicely. So a relaxed lunch and an opportunity to watch some Wimbledon for me.

    We have tommee tippee monitor, we don't use the sensor pad now but it was always going off when Squeak rolled off it. That's why we don't use it anymore! I've heard the angelcare ones are better.

    I've given up on the washing, too many just folded stacks got dropped on the cat. Apparently when you're ten months old that's really funny!

    Becles - congratulations on graduating, sounds like it was a fab day.

    Pigpen - well done to squeak for crawling although is going to be hard work for you chasing her while pregnant.

    Bigbird - bless Joe, must be strange him suddenly going from not sitting to crawling in a few weeks!

    I had my longest stint of not waking up from Poppy last night, from half 10 to half 5 woohoo. Have also found a way to get her to sleep a bit easier. I have a fisher price seahorse that plays llulabys, didn't seem to work but last three nights have put her in basket really sleepy and then turned it on and she has gone off to sleep.

    Just been to a new baby 'cafe' group that is literally 2 mins from my flat run by surestart. Is for babies up to 20 weeks but she was youngest at 10 weeks. Nice to chat to some other mums. They are going to do talks on weaning and things in next few weeks which will be useful for future reference.

    Keira has lice right now too. EWWWW.

    I found 4 live ones in her hair, picked them out and flung them in Tescos (that's when I noticed them) She caught them off my sister, my mum tried to say she must of caught them at nursery but I seriously DOUBT it, as my sister DID have them and my mum clearly never got rid of them, as 3weeks on and she is still scratting at her head, 2years at nursery with her hair down and she never caught lice, one day at my mums and she gets em - coincedence? I think not!

    Anyhoo, I got stuff from chemist starting with a D....that also kills your crabs, it said it killed the eggs - it did not! Cause I saw one ickle tiny lice crawling on her head on Sat, so I got hedrin this time, washed it out this morning, so Ill put it on again next weekend, just to be sure, but I find the combs (and nitty gritty) crap, so I just go through her hair pulling any nits out with my fingers. Quite theraputic.....

    She calls them Lysen though, cracks me up - Oh my head is itching from the lysen! I have nits and lysen! I dont like having lysen!

    Well done Becles :)

    Well done pigpen's Squeak for crawling

    Rach, hope you're having a nice time with your mum.

    DD has slept so much today. I assume this is normal with the heat? Hope she sleeps tonight :s

    Last night she did very well, she cried on and off from 7pm to about 10:30pm, then slept through till 8am :j I woke up at 5am when it was daylight wondering why she hadn't woken for a feed. I'm thinking maybe this 2am feed she got the habit for was my fault from jumping out of bed to feed her at the slightest noise she made :o

    gotta go - DD just woke up. Hopefully she'll be hungry.

    Derbac... ;)

    Nothing kills the eggs.. you just keep combing for a month and they should all be gone! The nitty gritty comb is available on prescription and does whizz them out of the hair! I just bought some of the vosene heallice shampoo.. I just hope it doesn't GIVE them lysens lol

    I've just Hedrin'd 3 of mine tonight..

    We just call them fleas!

    Hi Ladies,

    Sorry I don't post much but I do try and come on and read. I am still up every few hours at night breastfeeding little one so absolutely worn out. We have tried weaning him early but this doesn't seem to have helped really

    He has slept a lot today on and off, is it normal for babies to do that in this heat?

    Thanks
