On no Mammy is paracetamol/ inbuprophen not helping?

How is DS after contact wolf?

.. I may be a bit manic again this evening, not sleeping well , still stressed,but I am ok

It is actually, it just went up so fast I was worried, I guess cos he was only cranky before he went off with H but came hone lethargic

NSD

Ah fuck. Was there only my flat in the search range #shouldacheckedit

wreck that house though?! Who doesn’t want a duck house?!

unescorted you’re not the only one who’s astounded by the price of things here. You’d have thought I’d be used to it....

Neighbour downstairs is selling. Theirs is going for £365. They have about 2sq m of outside space. 😱

Naw Em there were several ..it was the toys and cat food bowls wot did it!..Dont worry we wont be around en masse for tea ....You can find me easily on the interweb also..

Quite I've just had my cashback from my switch to bulb via MSE. They have been fab so far.
Welcome newbies, you'll get great advice and support here & no judgement.
Usedto I put lentils in bolognese too & it's not noticeable, frugal and healthy.
Curly I might try making my own curry paste, you've inspired me!

Dad's birthday lunch went well. I did tomato soup with savoury scones, mixed grill and pineapple upside down pud to finish (I'll post a pic from my phone later). Everyone was too full to eat the pud at the time so I packed up a doggy bag for mum & dad. I bought too much meat but didn't cook it all so have frozen it to use at a later date.

It was the living room that I'd seen before and the glass storage jars that confirmed it for me

North... Pineapple upside down cake! There's a blast from the past..but what a great thing.. i'd completely forgotten about that.. Im going o make one now for my Aged Ps.and DB .- they will love it..

Also we have two consecutive weekend visitations p of DHs reles coming up.. that will be an ideal pud for them as well ! I might do an apple one also

Haha damm those jars!!!

..just put in 'Laska42' into the Yahoo search engine and hit 'images' and there i am!

So you are!

Greek holiday photos!

it was the sheep wot did it for me! ( I love that sheep)

HOPEFULLY tonight is my last night in with ds. We have: calpol plug i. Thing (which has a nightlight which is brighter than the actual sun so I have my eye mask), a bowl of boiling water (for humidity), we’ve done milk, calpol, saline nose spray. And teething granuals. Catface is in bed with me.

Fingers crossed. Ds is asleep now. Hurrah!!!

Sheep?

toy sheep..

Ah. Sleepy sheepy. Yes.

Well we’re glad you like it.

what make is he? .id like one for DGCs

He’s Ewan the dream sheep. He is one of the best things we bought for ds.

@meadowhay take note. You need a dream sheep

He plays 4 different sounds. And lights up a bit. Not too much.

We also have an elephant which does a light show out of his back. His music is crap though. When I’m trying to sleep I like nice soft music. Elephant sounds tinny. The lights are awesome. He projects stars and planets on the ceiling.

I used a recording of the vacuum cleaner or F1. Still works on both me and ds. Half way through the warm up lap and we are both sparked. You can tell he was born early in the year when F1 is in the early morning. Lights provided by the local constabulary helicopter. Those were the days.

Em your house is lovely.

Marking my place, had an awesome weekend but am so tired now!

Will catch up tomos..

Gah, I can’t sleep... DD has me up for a feed at 3.30am and I’ve been awake since, listening to the pouring rain. I went to bed at midnight so not good .

Welcome to the new people . And thanks for the recipes, I’m defo going to look into those curry recommendations Laska.

I’d not fancy that house near you Wreck. A bowling alley - how tacky! .

Good to have you back North and glad things are looking up for your mum.

It’s been a busy weekend. Housework all Saturday (managed to clear all the laundry off the spare bed - finally! - and clean bathroom and hoover everywhere. Was knackered). DSis stayed on Saturday night. Visited dad yesterday - it was a difficult visit as he’s on a lot of medication so barely coherent. And he’s a bag of bones. I wonder how much longer he will know us all . I had a little weep on the motorway on the way home.

Overall quite a spendy weekend. Ocado £99, £20 on a rucksack for DS for his school trip (I could have spent less but I got one with rockets on to try to entice him to carry it), £14 on a treatment for a fungal nail infection (I suspect both my big toes ) and £14 for some Nail Envy nail treatment for my fingernails as they are quite brittle. I’ve lost my existing one but it was ancient and almost empty anyway.

Bloody hell, I think dd is stirring again

Cag Box of baby clothes is on its way

Meadow i wanted to say before - I’m sorry you are so anxious about giving birth. I get it - to a large extent it’s out of your control and such an ‘unknown’ that it’s very daunting. FWIW most births are straightforward. Your body just takes over and gets on with it, and the clinical teams are there to tweak and help you along. But it’s definitely worth being really upfront about your anxiety as you may benefit from additional support. Perhaps you can ask for help from your midwife to write a birth plan - it might help you to feel a bit more in control which would help you to sleep in the meantime?

Got to get up in 15 mins. Feeling a bit tired again now. It’s going to be a long rainy day

Sorry you had such a rubbish night sea. Hope tonight is better.
Sorry the visit to your dad was so hard, I think a little cry is justified.

Woken up tired here which is never good. Will be ok after a cuppa.

I forgot to say, if you make pitta you have to rest them for 20 mins after rolling them out or they don’t puff up.
