Thanks for the fairy cake Baby stirring so may have to be quick.

Yes this is 1:1 baby (I can 100% see why mum wanted 1:1!). She was great last week and we thought we'd cracked her problems but yesterday was bad again She's definitely got something going on as she's a different baby after a poo or if she's had a good amount of sleep (but she doesn't sleep so well when it's a day where she'll poo).

Dmo - which thread?

looneytune · 11/05/2007 10:43

I've just added another question to my thread saying lots of questions coming up! I did it on there as hiding from a MN friend as it's about a decision I need to make and I don't want her reading it.

Would you mind having a look and giving me your thoughts?

looneytune · 11/05/2007 11:01

Sorry, link here

Hello all, thanks for gingerbread man. Friday is my day off so I've been doing paperwork then had a headfit and scrubbed out the bin. I'll have coffee and relax on the couch for a bit if you don't mind.

mumlove · 11/05/2007 12:54

OK I've come in to have my lunch now mindee is asleep.
Toast, yog and a coffee, but have just found some cola bottle sweets next to the computer.
Hope everyone has a nice restful weekend.

julia5 · 11/05/2007 12:58

crace · 11/05/2007 12:59

Both mindee and dd are awake after two hours, bless them I am lurving them loads today. Ad hoc-ee is here (ha) until 4pm now and proceeding to dump all cars, mega bloks, and anything else in a box onto the floor. sigh...

Do come and find me under a pile of cars later, won't you?

mumlove · 11/05/2007 13:11

MaureenMLove · 11/05/2007 13:20

Are they the ones with the fizzy sugary stuff on the outside, that make your teeth stand on end and your mouth really water?

mumlove · 11/05/2007 13:23

No fizzy sugary bits on these ones. I'll get them next time.

crace · 11/05/2007 13:35

MML - ooooh yum. The sour ones are the best!

MaureenMLove · 11/05/2007 13:41

looneytune · 11/05/2007 13:48

Had a blissfully quiet day! I had a choice of doing my cleaning or my tax return!! I chose to do my tax return and need to find my utility bills and any stray receipts before I send it in. Feeling quite proud of myself for making a start on it though! Only problem now is that I still have to do my cleaning......hmmmmm......think I'll get ds (4) to do some of it, he loves cleaning!!!

crace · 11/05/2007 16:19

Mum of ad hoc mindee is late but then free - raining here so distracting with very active bouts of ring a ring a roses to the childrens (and mine) delight.

Am shattered! Must find motivation to tidy up now!

looneytune · 11/05/2007 16:36

I think I'll be sent to the 'Looney'bin after today - I can't take much more of this baby and what's really got to me is that mum emailed me an hour a go to say would be collecting early (i.e. now) and I've just got a text saying she's been held up and coming at 5.30 afterall [virtual cry]. I wish I'd put a longer settling in period in the contract!

crace · 11/05/2007 16:37

So the baby just won't settle or? What's happening?

crace · 11/05/2007 16:38

LT - only asking as my dd was a velcro baby and very "challenging" when she was little so let me know if I can help. She is now very independant little you know what -

MaureenMLove · 11/05/2007 16:46

Where you off to Shosh? .

LT, can't remember, to you have baby all day every day?

Spare a thought for me, you rotters, I don't finish til 6.30pm!
