    Evening all - will post more shortly.

    If you were a 16month old dummy fanatic who won't sleep without one; exactly WHERE in a 2 bed house would you hide any of the SEVEN you had last week?!! :confused: I am nonplussed and currently have said 16month old rampaging about in a very tired fashion....

    How soon does Pigpen start beating people for not flying high enough?! We went to chiro today, and met my bro for lunch and meandering and I’ve washed some nappies. That’s it! AND OH is getting takeaway in so we don’t even have to cook..
    Pigpen – I bet your sister really appreciates the positivity, I too would buy shoes! Wishing the best to all of you
    Lilme – thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately she seems to wake up earlier the later to bed she goes! Might give it another go once OH has got the blackout blind up tomorrow..
    Mumoftwo – horrid docs are, err, horrid, good for you for sticking up for yourself. Wish I had when horrid paediatrician tagged onto the end of a conversation about 6 wk old DD “you do know she could be brain damaged” and left it at that… she isn’t, she’s fine but I was a wreck! Makes you really appreciate the good ones, reminds me must write letter to Chief Exec about DD’s hip man – he’s been fantastic
    Michelle – I can’t tell you how encouraged I am to see that the parents of an 18 month old and a newborn are surviving! I might start panicking less…
    There’s bound to be more comments I shoud have responded too – does regular use of this thread improve your memory?!

    Hiya to everyone
    Hugs pigpen and for your sister too. What an amazing little niece/nephew she/he will be.
    SSL and dusty hugs to you both too.

    DH and children should be nearly in Scotland by now. It's amazing how much I miss them when they were driving me mad last night!

    Evening everyone.

    Been out most of today so very little flying done. I have got the WM on now though. Went to see mum this morning as it was her review. Then to hospital to do my meeting and greeting. Called at daughters afterwards and w have had a takeaway. It has not rained here but dull and chilly.

    AnWsMum Ooooh New Yory thats brilliant. I had wet eye about As letter to her dad.

    Pigpen A very emotional week for you. Positive vibes to your sister and baby. Sorry to hear about DH cousin.

    x_raphael_xx Glad to hear your mums dog is ok.

    mumoftwo Thats a terrible attitude you had to put up with. There will be a complaints procedure.

    SSL Big hugs for you.

    Soappie Have a good holiday.

    Hugs to anyone who needs one.

    soappie hope you have a wonderful time :)

    dougie sorry I'm not a dummy expert because my 2 didn't like them, have you tried under her cot/bed.

    Ds2 being a PITA again, I've been trying to finish my dinner for over an hour now, gave up and put it away until he stops yoyoing and screaming. He's getting on my nerves, but like Mudbath I know I'd miss them if they were not here.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Just doing a quick list check while DH is cooking a stir fry for our tea. See if the vitamins make us any healthier in our house. So far i am still unaffected, but the vitamins won't hurt me.

    Done a few bits anyway, but think the cats may have fleas again, so need to make sure we treat them tonight and then do the house spraying at some point, probably get DH to spray tonight after i take sam upstairs. Darn things - they will be going to the RSPCA or in a bag in the river if they don't improve - i'm only half kidding :mad: they are pains in the backside and no flaming joy from them at the moment.

    Anyway,

    my 3.5 year old dummy fanatic has them everywhere... check the lowest bathroom shelves, the bottom of the toy box, under the cot, in the crevices on the sofa, under the table and in the laundry basket... right.. off to find a dummy for mine. it is making noise!
