    3rd lot of Barney :eek: But Charlie loves it!!

    Sam has calmed down a bit with the feeding. Thanks for the tips on eating well - i think i am doing ok on eating but perhaps not drinking enough as i have been feeling a bit dehydrated. I made sure i had muesli for breakie, and i've just had a sandwich with coronation chicken and some grapes, followed by some milk. We are planning on a shop bought pie tonight with mash, veg. I might also make a rice pudding in the SC - that is a good stodgy snack if i make enough ;) and it just requires a small amount of measuring up ingredients so really not much hassle.


    I can't wait till Charlie nap time honestly. He is being paddy fantastic today. He stood on Sam when i was changing him because he was hungry and i said i needed to change Sam first. Then he has been sat near him trying to give him his dummy so i can't work it out. He doesn't mind him provided he has what he needs first.

    johanne i am glad to hear i am not the only one going through it - psychologically it feels less when someone else knows it too. Hope she falls into a routine for you soon. It is making me wonder how i coped when DS1 was colciky as he was a lot harder work than this, although he was on his own.

    jamiedodger glad to hear you feel a bit better today - a good nights rest works miracles

    mudbath i was hoping i would find it easier as they get older - you are spoiling my illusion ;)

    lil-me the caravan sounds really good - my sister has one and they love it - theirs is huge though - sleeps 8 and has 3 sections so not like a traditional image of caravaning. I think it is 30 feet long :confused:

    Anyway, bit more supervision of children till naptime, and then i am definitely trying to snooze today.

    See.. you HAVE got it worked out.. Charlie wants his needs met first.. he has never had to wait before so why should he have to wait now?

    Toddlers are so very selfish!! ;)

    They'll fight like monsters when they get a little bit older and beat each other half daft.. but don't you DARE try to intervene.. they'll both set about you lol.. Sounds like Charlie loves Sam to bits.. one well integrated baby there!

    Afternoon all :hello:

    Hope everyone is well, I am finally back to proper flying.
    • Our dinner is prepared and cooked apart from the pasta (spag bol)
    • Kitchen and living room vacummed
    • kitchen floor mopped
    • worktops clear
    • bathroom cleaned
    just to do the kiddy grot now and ironing. although MIL coming this afternoon, she is going to do an hour for me ( i cheat sometimes ;) ).

    Michelle sounds like charlie loves sam to bits, once he realises Sam is here to stay it does get easier. When i had my youngest Sean, Jack would not go near him at all the first photo i have of the 2 of them was when Sean was 16 weeks and 2 days old. Now he is very protective of his little brother and has taken to the big brother role quite well. :T

    Mudbath just seen you last post to me, glad your thumb/hand is better now.
    Its very weird having the OH home after working away isn't it. OH is home for 2 weeks i will just get used to it then he is off again:rolleyes: :D oooooh 'my bad!

    Right gonna do the kiddy grot now:rolleyes:

    :wave:
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?

    My TMA is submitted - I'm not happy with it but it's the best I can do this time around. If its not right its not right and there's nothing I can do about it.

    Time to get out of the house I think. At least the beds are tidy, and the dishes are mostly washed :o I need OUTSIDE NOW!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
