The New Festive Christmas PUDDLE,

[ShakySingsMerryXmasEveryone]

Here we are, a lovely shiny, new thread just in time for Xmas.

Sorry Zombie I was showing off!

Looks like a bunch of squares t'me !

Bonkey can't sleep :(

Oh! But i can see the card symbols at the end.

On phone!

Just black dots for me (on blackberry)

Lilys on her evening feedathon when she's done she's all yours for 3hrs empress

Can I have her after Empress please?

You might be on to something here State

Sorry Bonkey I spent hours on another thread last week going through all the emoticons to see which ones worked. Some do, most don't

My mil is into making reborn dolls. She showed us her bedroom once, I freaked me out! At least 100 baby faces all staring. They are so realistic! She gave one to ds but I have had to put him out of view, all cosy and wrapped up nice. I couldn't let ds play with him, it's too realistic. He's in a pretend cot all cosy, it could send me doo lally if I let it

Welcome Sunny!

State, I was a bit nervous about feeding Ds1 in public, especially as he had terrible reflux, but this time I'm really confident. I've fed him in cafes, church, parties, restaurants etc. I've armed myself with witty responses from MN in case I get any negative comments, but none yet! I almost want to get some!

The Puddle? - My macbook seems to convert the ? by itself? No alt and numbers needed!

Oh and Shaky, you can hold baby dreamy. He's kept me up since 4am, so I need a break! He's not a newborn anymore, but he's still squidgey and cuddly!

ARGH! LT's entire body is covered from eczema all of a sudden after having it well under control for, literally, years with the occasional minor flare up. What caused it? Most likely switching from Tesco non-bio tablets to Tesco non-bio liquid gels...I now have to rewash all of his clothes.

dreamy I'll take the baby off your hands. I could use a snuggle.

I found out last night that my Kindle Fire has ? and all sorts as part of the keyboard. ::not a stealth brag, an actual brag::

:( hope LT gets better! Eczema is horrible and such a pain for little ones!

Right *WARNING** I may be about to have a rant.

Before xmas I had a lovely customer who came over from the next town to pick up her order. She bought £30 worth of stuff, her cousin (about my age) gave her some money and a order and also bought £15.
Then I had a custom order of the cousin. Great.

Customer 1 came back for one more thing and told me that I had inspired her cousin to start jewellery making. Cousin has since set up a FB page. I wished her good luck!

Have discovered that TODAY customer1 has also set up a jewellery page.

I am froing between being rather miffed and flattered! And also feeling a bit pissed for the cousin because I know I would be really annoyed if my cousin set up a similar business/page whatever to me.

I know there are hundreds of jewellery pages out there AIBU to think it feels a bit cheeky?

Will not put this in AIBU for fear of a flaming because deep down I know I am being a bitch!

bonkey yanbu on your behalf, that would seriously annoy me!

Hope littleTee is ok soon, I had awful eczema growing up, grew out of it in my teens unless we use Daz washing powder then I can't stop itching.

Had the best night so far with Lily last night once settled she slept until 4am, 10min feed and asleep until 7am, 5min feed and slept until 9 when she got up to play :) and she's 9lb now! That's 1lb in 9days, I feel really good, makes the cluster feeding all worth it!

That's brilliant State

I hope LT is better soon.

Bonkey I would be miffed too, however, you could look at it as, you have inspired them to have a go themselves just like you learning how to make a shaky bracelet

Dreamy I would love a snuggle

From me or the baby Shaky?

Both!

DW and DD have raging eczema too, we use Method laundry liquid which seems to work.

We tried using an anti-allergy one but it brought me out in a rash

Ah Shaky you have a good point there!
And my shaky bracelets will never be as good as yours so their page(s) will never be as good as mine! Bloody hope not anyway...

Well done State!

Sorry, phone actiing up. That's great about Lily, State.

Snuggles Shaky and Empress. Baby dreamy has had his 3rd set of injections today. He slept for ages, now he's awake and grumpy.

Dp has had to go to London for a work conference so I am home alone (except for ds being fast asleep in bed)

Shaky, mine is going to Dublin tomorrow. And I think I have the bug that kept LT off school Monday and Tuesday. So that's him dropped off tomorrow and me straight home to bed!

Hello Puddlers! Just caught up. I am in the midst of doing an enormous amount of housework and trying to catch up with the mess. anything to avoid my tax return

Damn, the buzzer's just gone. That's my 10 mins rest up. Another 15 mins work now...

Ooh I have been having fun on the MN monopoly thread - HQ have quoted my post on twitter

Hope you feel better soon Tee

Evening all,

Can I have a wallow/rant?

I have had the afternoon/evening from hell with dd1, she has been hard work all her life more so on school holidays so usually I can keep calm and get on with it but today she's decided to keep screaming and kicking/hitting me, when out in the car she kept moving her belt to hang out of her seat and leant forward to pull my hair twice, I understand adjusting to having a baby sisters hard so took her to my mums when ds finished school as she loves it there and her attitude resulted in all 4 big dcs being foul, I'm just exhausted, I can't let her behave like this because she has a sister but I feel so fucking guilty for being on her case, it seems a vicious cycle, she screams, I tell her off she is naughty because she's cross at me and so on... I'm cracking out the reward charts for her and ds, he's a mouthy sod atm but being in FT school he's far easier to handle. Dp has a sodding medical on saturday hours away from ours, the idea of being home alone with all 3 for hours is terrifying.
