Hi hun!

Yes, here's to a better day, starting now!
Well for you anyway, I think Charlie is going to have a grumpy day bless. Bloody jabs lol.

Yay for Dylan coming haha! More photos of Dylan and Scott together on FB please! xx

Morning! I also hope today is better for all. Hugs for Charlie x We've got the last lot of jabs next week (they couldn't give me an appointment for ages) and I'm making DH come with me because I want to cry when they make her cry! At least after that it is over until she is 1.

Quiet day today I hope. I need to do some housework and cooking, but otherwise not going anywhere. LO is still on sleep strike and I am up with her so often I'm a zombie most days. The other night she had a sleep of over 3 hours at one point which was the best for weeks. I've had a couple of 4 hour sleeps when DH took her off downstairs, but that's not a solution most nights as he has work.

I'm dreading the idea of work as well, and I have no idea what I am going to do about it. My current job is impractical for many reasons so that is the back up plan, but I don't know what else I can do. Need to start thinking about it but I hate the idea so much it makes me want to cry - I so don't want to leave her! Plus it will be expensive to have her in childcare so I need to find something that makes it worthwhile working at all.

Good luck with Dylan - I'm sure it will be lovely and hectic having him there full time!

Morning All ! Xx

Mozzy - hope Charlie isn't too bad today hun! Jans are so annoying but a necessary evil. I will have a go at doing some pics when I get chance. What are u doing today ?

Jenjade - hope you & Ellie are ok today good to see you on here. Thanks for the help the last couple of weeks. We got Scott an account with his own little passbook so he can go into the bank when he is older. It will be nice to have an account for Ellie xxxx

Crabapple - hello !! I hope you manage to find a work solution it is difficult for mums and there are quite a few peeps who are dreading it too. I did leave my job prior to becoming pregnant (hubby stresses all the time about money) but I sympathise as I know it's hard but whatever happens you will make it work. The people I knew found it hard at first but got better once they had a routine. Wish I could help re the sleeping that's pants xxxxx

*Ro*

Crabapple (Mozzy too) I do feel a guilty that I am at home and your stressing about work really wish it wasnt the case. The way things are with hubby it's not a guarantee that it will stay with me at home forever. Wish I could win the lottery as you would be getting some xxxx

Ellie woke up at 7am has had breakfst and milk and has gone back to sleep her colour is not very good ;-(

Ro I hope the dog doesnt do you head in like mine does love him but the hair barking... driving me insane

*Ro*

Jen hugs for Ellie and you, hope her colour improves xx
Scott sends his kisses to Ellie xxxx

Perhaps we could do a dog swap? The other day I left the stair gate open, Scott was napping on the bed and went upstairs as it was too flippin quiet to discover Dylan licking Scott from head to toe could have murdered him!!!

Crabapple I made hubby come for the last set of jabs which made it less stressful xx

I think having DH there will help me, but he's a bit of a girl so there is a chance he will cry too! I might end up holding it together and reassuring both him and baby that it will all be okay!

Cats are just as much trouble as dogs, although they've only had the odd lick of her. Hair is everywhere no matter how often I clean, and they can be surprisingly loud. One of them will be shouting at me all day for food because that's what she does every day. One of the young ones brought home a mouse last night and left it's head and entrails at the top of our stairs. It might be nicer if intended as a present, but it's just the bits they won't eat!

Jenjade, hugs to you and Ellie x

Don't worry about work Ro, it's not your fault! I'd love not to go back for a while but I simply can't see how we can afford me not to. Hopefully it will just be part-time and somewhere different. It doesn't help when you go visit and all your colleagues tell you not to come back because it is even worse than when you left!!

(btw, I was amused to see that this site edited a very very mild rude word out of a pm. So mild I hadn't even thought it was rude!)

Baby is in her jumperoo. The music is already starting to do my head in...

Think oh will be a welcome distraction in that case !
Will have to focus on keeping each other amused with or without pesky work.
The jumperoo goes on mute quite a bit!
Scott is whining so a dunk in the bath is required !
