Okay, I am clearly worrying way too much about this but there are only a few spaces left in the old thread!

(What do I think will happen if we finish without a new list? We'll just make a new one. Relax woman!)

Thanks to alicecrail for the title.

Please finish the old thread before starting on this one - there could be a prize if you are number 1000.

Found old list reminded me of things I still need to do [bleugh]

alicecrail · 22/05/2009 10:31

We went to Wiggle and Jiggle, were there for 10 mins and came home. DD has got more big teeth coming through and she has not really been herself lately. Normally she is running around, into everything, today she just sat at my feet and didn't want to do anything. now sat at home in front of cbeebies

claireybee · 22/05/2009 10:34

Just a quicky from me as really need to get cracking.

JKS It must be so scary for you and I am amazed at how matter of fact and calm you sound. I don't know if this will help at all because there seem to be so many different types but my cousin had childhood epilepsy and went from being fine to having several fits a day for just over a year, but has hardly had any since then. Hopefully things will settle down for your ds soon.

WME DS used to like that feeding position too Hope your boob isn't too sore.

JKS Hopefully the meds will start to work soon, or you'll be given something else. Poor little boy.

PBM I am very anal and match the socks as I hang them up on the line-don't know why but it is less painful to do it that way than to end up with a basket of unpaired socks to put away

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 22/05/2009 14:04

JKS -

Clairey - hope the party goes well!

I am still in my pj's but things are a bit more organised! Poor DH ate a dodgey fishcake at work yesterday and he's been so poorly, I've never seen him as ill. He's feeling a bit better now and he and DS have both gone for a nap so there is peace and quiet! I think I might go and make alice's apricot flapjacks.

DONE
Breakfast x 2
Wash nappies
Unload dishwasher
DS roll off bed and get a carpet burn on his face
Lunch x 3

TO DO
Get dressed!
Clear up from lunch
Make flapjacks?
Wash swimming stuff from yesterday
Menu plan for next week
Make cauliflower cheese for dinner
DS dinner, bath, story etc
Me and DH dinner

Sleep
