[NoWordForFluffy]

New thread for the new month tomorrow!

Morning all.

Mrs I've gone back to nappies. He was doing so well, but yesterday I needed to go out for a few hours to a place with no toilets do put him in a pull up. Worst thing I could have done as he just reverted back. Off to buy a mini toilet now and try him again next week.

Ahhh Nero bless him don't worry about it these things happen all the time, l am sure he will be there as quick as a flash. You will see.
Fluffy l was tempted to get a light too but realised l didn't need it wouldn't use it and it would gather dust but l was sorely tempted lol specially when you said you succumbed and got on l thought 'ohh it must be good if Fluffy got it ' I don't know if anyone else knows about the prequel bargain thread l am talking about but it is excellent
You have had a good hols fair dos
well done on the pressie front too
Mummy was it Brian after Brian Epstein (the fifth beatle according to Paul) . I hope it was GEORGE , beautiful name . MY Dad's name bless him
Bought 2x Issy miyake homme 75mls from B & M for £9.99 today
mega bargain , will be able to give to any of the men l buy for
Em have a look in B& M when you can m'dear , their perfume cabinet is good most days , ie beats the online price for lots of perfumes . I don't know if your family like perfume though , come to think of it l don't know if mine do either lol

it was this one, looks like l got meself a bargain

sorry for the long link

Quickly replying, will catch up later. But it was George Mrs his full name is George Nicholas John, so technically he has two Beatles in his name

Ahhh that is a beautiful name Mummy l expect he is a beautiful boy too that reminds me of One of my Favourite songs , the lyrics are just so poignant.
'Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans' ahhhh

Being able to hold wee is an important part of training, Neros. It's a marathon, not a sprint, with these things. And - honestly - if they're totally ready they'll do it just like that, without too much angst / rushing to the loo / potties in every room etc!

Great bargain, Mrs. Well done you!

I've been up a fell today and I'm a bit tired now. It's exhausting doing these things with small children who keep veering towards sheer drops all the time.

Cracking view from the top though!

Thank you Fluffy , what a view! You have been through the mill trying to keep the Dc and Dh safe l bet . It looks really beautiful. I think l would love to go there it's on my bucket list .

I was tempted to buy the lamp too but just couldn't justify it. Still might though 😂.

I'll try DS again in a few weeks time. He goes to creche tomorrow, so they are going to give us some tips.

I've decided that I'm going to have a wee party in the house for dd birthday. It's 18th Dec so I'm going to try and get a visit from Santa. Just need to work out a menu for adults and toddlers and babies.

Bog standard party food, Neros. We all love a bit of party food!

Thank you Mrs, I’m biased but I think he’s great. I love that song too, it makes me cry. Great job with the bargain hunting!

Fluffy that looks gorgeous, I bet everyone will sleep tonight

Neros you can’t go wrong with a cold pizza and cocktail sausages. George isn’t doing great on the potty training front, I don’t know if it’s better to buy a potty or just start straight on the toilet as that’s where he’ll end up eventually. Hopefully you get some tips tomorrow, if you don’t mind I’d like to hear them too

I’ve ordered this bed for George. www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/minnen-ext-bed-frame-with-slatted-bed-base-white-s29123958/ . I thought it we were going to potty train then we could get him a big boy bed. It’s extendable too so will last him for a while. I’m quite happy with ot

Morning! Another sunny start!

We're off round Buttermere today. It's about 5 miles but nice and flat, so not as tiring for the small people!

If you can just use the loo for potty training you'll save yourself bother later. Trust me on that one!

We were helped with potty training by preschool as both of ours went from being just-2. They do get it in the end though; it's not worth too much angst! But it's also not worth doing until they're well and truly ready!

Fluffy it sounds like you’re having a lovely time. How much longer are you there for?

See, that’s what I was thinking. If I train him on a potty then I’ll have to go through it all again with a toilet, but if we go straight for the toilet then it’s all done in one go. I won’t push him though, he can do it in his own time.

We did a mix and we had no issues with using either :)

We really struggled, Emrys! With bloody both of them. If I did it again I'd go straight for the toilet and probably the Potette Plus just in case out of the house.

Buttermere sounds and looks beautiful Fluffy. l couldn't resist a quick look at some pics online so beautiful
Been really busy today , had physio will travel sorry couldn't resist that, it's made me quite tired and sore so will take it easy tonight that's my excuse anyway
Hope all are fine have a lovely evening everyone

Here's some photos I took, Mrs. It's a stunning location!

We're going home tomorrow. My own bed again...yay!!!

Mrs, I hope your pain subsides quickly.

Thank you Fuffy l will be fine tomorrow l am sure. Thank you for these pics too it is beautiful there . I will go one day l vow ! Home tomorrow for you Fluffy l know the feeling of wanting your own bed .

Evening all. Sorry I’ve not been around. I’ve been crafting like mad as I’ve started selling my knit and crochet items 😊

I am awake stupidly early for a Saturday

I was awake at 6.30, 70. I'm less than happy about it!

Dmiddlecat woke me up at 6 and DS trotted up at 6:10.

My kids seem to have learnt that for the most part it’s a bad idea to wake me ridiculously early. But roll on dark mornings and evenings!

I only have my bladder to blame this morning!

Morning all.

Dd woke up at 6. Luckily dh let me lie on this morning so I'm feeling refreshed.
We're going out for a meal tonight so dc are having a McDonald's later. Lucky ducks.

First though we need to buy more shoes.
