**Joins Pigpen** in the not best pleased corner.

Today I worked my sockies off and he took 5 hours to build a wardrobe because he spent most of his time on the internet. Then went on the internet when his family were here after putting Godzilla on??? I mean !!!!!!!!

Right, sorry can't drink, tablets so I am off to bed. Goodnight all.

I never bathed mine very often anyway.. it made their skin really dry and nasty if they were bathed too often.. plus the more I had the less time I had..

Once they were onto 3 meals.. I would shift them about so they weren't eating at the same time as me.. I'd feed them theirs while cooking mine (they had yesterdays leftovers!!) They always seem to thinkt he second foo dis in the oven it should be on their plate so this way worked for us.. They would usually sit and play or have a nap then while I ate and got the others off to bed.. when they woke they'd have their jimmies on, then depending on which child.. supper and boob until they went to sleep or a bottle with extras. If they got it anywhere they were wiped over with a flannel.. and a bib protected the jimmies.

funny you say that, she falls asleep after her tea, while I have mine and then I waken her later for bf after others asleep. All this "dont let them sleep past 4pm" guff doesnt work when you have 3 under 5!!! Might think about another course of Ready Brek after tea. Thaks for the tip (and to Luby too)

I also dont have the time to bath 3 every night. Nor the energy. Teeth and faces and that will do.

Have to say the 3rd child does seem to have tipped some previously stable equilibrium into toal chaos.

Jill.. mine couldn't do beakers until they were about 2!! They couldn't coordinate the tip, drink, swallow thing and it dribbled everywhere.. and 3 of them couldn't suck the anywayup ones hard enough ever.. yet DD1 took a beaker at 6 months without any issue

we bought an anywayup cup for DS - it never ever spilled - because I never ever was able to open the thing to put anything in it LOL
We used Avent Magic Cups with most success but I have lost the teats so need to buy some new ones and Asda dont do them. But yes, DS and DD never got it til well past 1yo. Still you live in hope ....

lol jill - she asked how i knew you and i didn't know what to say. i ended up saying i'd known you a while but you'd seen my message on freecycle because i didn't want to tell her about meeting you on this site incase she thought things were dire for you. lol. dh had to carry the boxes in because of my arm and he also thought they were lovely. i've put labels on some of the things in the box so you know where the dolls are etc. hope you get them soon xx

LOL well I told her we chatted on "a really boring housework website":rotfl: as if this place is ever boring

ok I have a medical question - yes yes I know youre not supposed to give medical advice but if you were ......

I suffer from hideously bd heel cracks. I have one massive cut on each heel ATM , they are excruciating. I;ve been walking on my toes all day and so not only are my heels agony but my calves are cramped too. What can I do to:
a) heal the damn things, they keep cracking open again
b) stop them from happening
I have tried CCS cream, vaseline, Scholls heel repair scream, foot files, exfoliators etc etc
Should I give in and go to the chiropodist ?
Do I need to wait for them to heal first ?
They are so bad tonight I currently have both feet hanging out of bed, I cant bear even them to touch the mattress or duvet. How is gods name am I going to walk to school tomorrow ????? Might have to drive there.



Anyway I'd also like to name and praise my DH tonight, I have done sod all since he got in except tidy downstairs, feed LO and come to bed at about 830pm. I asked him to cook and bring it to me in bed - and he did! He makes the best HM pizza ever with a glass of wine :beer: followed by a bowl of oatibix for pudding and a :coffee: (which annoyingly I only just realised I forgot to drink)


Right off to get some ibuporfen to see if that kills the pain slightly.

How can my stupid heels hurt so much

night night :wave:
