Just had a hamster biting experience with DD, I told her not to out her hand in the cage - I'd just put some fresh food in, and what did she do, whips her hand in and frightens the hamster and blood everywhere and now she's decided she doesn't like him and is currently nursing her poor finger in a wet flannel lol.

What to do to get her excited about her hamster again? any ideas?

CWWM - sure there is a recognised term for it - kind of like 'empty-nesters' for when kids leave one stage and move onto another. it's a time when we realise time is passing and they are growing up

Strange morning with ds1 wanting to sleep on and off from 5.15 to 7.30, weird. not sure he's well tbh but woke up eventually and ate breakfast so has gone off to nursery....

Morning all. Hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was mixed - misunderstanding with my parents on Saturday which got blown up out of all proportion, but now seems to be sorted. Sunday was better, even managed to get loads of stuff on Ebay, so should help declutter the place a bit!

The last time I saw FAQ she was over on Style and Beauty choosing clothes to get married in! Well sort of, renewal of vows with her DH

Everytime i am on facebook, she is on there too, perhaps she is spending her time on a fb farm?

Hmm...is exciting lovelife good enough reason not to post on slatterns? Majority vote

As you can tell, I am very busy today!

Well, i suppose if you were up all night with an exciting lovelife then you wouldn't have the energy to do anything so perhaps being on the slatterns would be pointless?
