All has stopped.

Had a petty argument with DH about santa before work, now I keep crying

wastingaway · 30/09/2009 08:15

Morning all!

Good luck on your last day HMHB!

Aw Flame, hormones are rubbish.
What was DH wrong about?

JKS - Did you find a repeat?

I'm feeling bad about DS waking DH up when I bring him into bed for his morning feed. He kicks his legs and gets DH in the back. I refuse to sit on the horrid pouffe in his room that I have to use for the bedtime and nighttime feeds. It reminds me how irritated I am that we didn't get me a comfortable chair last November when we moved him into his own room.

Am doing really badly on the list front at the moment, house isn't in too bad a state though. I just can't be arsed to type-it takes so long trying toget the right key and I spend so long correcting where I've hit o instead of i etc and then have to go back and put in spaces where I didn't exactly hit the little dot in the middle of where the spacebar is meant to be...bloody ds.

You know how we all only just learnt how to fold fitted sheets? Well I was at my sister's the other week and she folded one properly-turned out she has known how to do them for 12 years since she worked in a hotel!

Flame both my dc I've gone into labour after going for a long walk and really stomping so the head bounces hard on cervix (dd I also jumped downstairs and bounced really hard on exercise ball but I wouldn't recommend that!)

Hi All Ended up staying at my friend's all afternoon yesterday so got nothing done. Then decided to pop into town with DH to get a couple of bits and it took ages for some reason. DS fell asleep in the car on the way home and didn't wake up until 9:30pm! So he had no proper dinner, just toast and milk and didn't get into bed properly until 11pm. [bad parents emoticon]
Then he slept really badly, no surprise, so I am knackered today! Serves me right, have to remind myself he's 14 months, not 4 months, and therefore much less flexible!!

Mumof2 - happy birthday to your DP

JKS - glad you enjoyed your treatments!

Flame - how're you feeling?

Clairey - it's so crap about your laptop. id you know that you can get replacement keyboards for laptops? I am thinking of getting one for mine because it's missing a few keys, I think it is about £25 on ebay for a new one.

wastingaway · 30/09/2009 16:08

Well, I've not stopped, sorting the stuff from the loft is taking forever. It'll all be done by tonight.

I can't believe how many bags of baby clothes we have! I've chucked three bin bags full out, but there's still another five that I've sorted to keep.
It seems somewhat excessive, I might go through it all again.

I started looking on ebay for nursing chairs last December, but we were reluctant to spend very much. I get annoyed at how much money we waste on crap, when I need a comfy chair.
You're right CC, might make him a little more eager to splash out!

Glad you had a nice lunch HMHB.

Happy Birthday to DP mumof2.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 30/09/2009 16:18

Wasting - I bring DS into bed for a feed whenever he wakes up! I do his bedtime feed on my bed, and then all the others I bring him in with us. DH mostly goes and gets him for me aswell, which I know is lazy of me
I have a rocking chair in DS' room, it was our wedding present from SIL - they picked it up at an antique shop. It matches our dining chairs and should have been expensive but clearly the guy didn't know what he had and they got it for £30. Anyway - that is in DS' room and then I bought a lovely thick throw to go on it and it's lovely. I do use it for feeding, but mainly for bedtime stories etc.
