Tweaks I am not "acting" on the pilates instructor dream just yet. Scheduling doesn't permit any more than self exploration at the moment. It was nice though to be asked at the workshop this weekend whether I'd started the journey yet. I was asked by a vip in the industry who I've worked with only a little. It's actually coming up on my 1 year pilates anniversary. Hard to believe how changed I feel in one year's time.

R is napping. I think she's developed a head cold. She's sleeping now with her mouth open. She's not snoring though. Yesterday she sneezed all day long. I think it's my fault. We swept out the garage on Monday. OI the dust! My eyes were icky yesterday morning because of it. Maybe she has the same dust-allergy thing that I have? It's really a tree/leaf allergy I suppose. I heck like it really matters. UGH!

Trying to make my spreadsheets look prettier than they are. This stresses me. We spend way too much money. ARRGGHHHH!!!!

tweakers, you make late pregnancy sound like a whimsical 19th century novels what with your sewing and tea sipping

TS you WILL be a pilates wonder. Of that i am sure . Hope R feels better soon

I came home from the CM and the bloke at the investment fund i have been doing work for sent a beautiful bunch of flowers to say thankyou for my hard work

ah, that's so sweet with the flowers! i love getting surprise flowers but unfortunately they get banished straight into the garden and viewed through the window because DH is majorly allergic

TS oh yes, sorry, remember you saying now

crisp you may have noticed i didn't mention the toddler running wild in the chaos that is pretending to be our living room at the moment

A belated happy birthday to R for yesterday, sorry I missed it. Did she have anice day TS?

Any suggestions for a 6yr old who is 'dying' from leg pain (not that ds1 is overdramatic ) Calpol dispensed, but still moaning...

would rubbing it help cc? gentle massage to get the blood flowing? a wee dram of something dark?

Hot water bottle cece? I remember leg pains as a child and they're not nice although I seem to recall no yummy calpol, only junior disprin to take the pain away [ewwww]

Welcome back Sazz

Wotcha tweaky . Is today your dad's birthday? Might as well get tweaking now, there are only a few hours left and I believe it takes a little while to start working

no no no hots Mission Tweaking starts tomorrow! but yes, dad's b'day is today. Although dS did have a go earlier... thanks for that..would seem i'm leaking a fair amount since

mum has offered to come round and take DS out for a couple of hours tomorrow!!!!!! woo hooo!!!!!! sleeeeeeeeeep for meeeeeeee

so did you survive your day at work ok? is it an early night tonight for you?!

perhaps i should add 'leaking from boobs'!! to that last post!

Was fine yes thanks, and feeling wide awake now so won't go to bed early and then be even more tired tomorrow... DH on the other hand is snoring in the chair after putting DC to bed I have been up to wake him once but he went straight back to sleep. So why am I listening to 5 Live???

sounds very sensible of you my dear

right, off to eat dinner and then do more cubes so if i'm not back til the morning, don't assume i've gone into labour!!

Aw Tweakers, but we enjoy the drama! But we will bear in mind that it's hard to type whilst tweaking both sides at once

TS sorry I missed R's birthday - hope you did have a wonderful day with your lovely girl.

Hullo Crispy and welcome back! Sounds like a great hol and good things to come back to too.

Spring congratulations on your cleverness! Definitely a good time for a celebration.

Hello Pert how's the house stuff going?

Hi Hots, slooooooowly is the answer. V frustrating, I keep thinking everything's ready to go and something else pops up... My lawyer is sick of hearing my voice I'm sure and I'm certainly sick of my estate agent since every time he calls it's to tell me our nervous 1st time buyers have found something new to worry about. But clearly I am an indefatigable optimist as every weekend I tell everyone I am SURE we'll have a date for exchange next week...

Your last lot of photos are great BTW - looks like a lot of fun was had

evening all, I'm having an early night tonight, well before 2am have done my baking for tomorrow and tried to write a blog but its so fecking slow I've had it - no patience me.

Have caught up, loving you all but heading to bed

Tweakers Maybe you should get the pump out, might be more efficient than tweaking by hand. Sneak any output into DS's cereal.

DH agreed to the carshare! And I suddenly remembered that DD's friend's mum has been training as a CM, have invited friend round tmrw so will ask her when she'll be starting.

Just caught DS1 going to the loo, he was all sleepy and ruffled and cute. Feeling all loved up, he's such a pixie.

Morning

DD1 fell out of bed at 5.15 and hasn't gone back to sleep, DD2 on the other hand is still fast asleep - there is something wrong in this situation. I am on bad mummy track this morning - I have already shouted because she insisted on digging her toes into my leg over and over again even when I said no, now she is eating shreddies on the sofa and watching Balamory! DD2 and DH sleep on!

Dizzy - {{HUGS}}

GB - YAY for DH agreeing to car share and hopefully CM friend will be starting soon.

Tweaky - hope you had a peaceful night sleep

Hello Pert, TS, Cyteen,HP and anyone else I have missed :)

if by 'peaceful' you mean up for an hour or so soothing DS after he'd woken up then yes, it was very peaceful! He was so distraught, i can only assume it was a horrible dream but i felt so helpless.
i woke at 6, DS then woke at 6.45... again, something wrong in this situation!
sorry to hear you've had an early start too oops

dizz pleased to see you went to bed earlier than recent nights. hope you got the sleep you need and deserve

pert you are not a force to be reckoned with imo so i almost feel sorry for your solicitors!! almost, i said almost!

buckets hmm, do you reckon that would work?! i have no doubt there'll be output. mw joked that i should be a wet nurse!
well done on car/potential cm solutions

hmm, talking of which, i've got an appt with mw this afternoon. two weeks ago (when i saw her last) i said 'ooh, i'll have had the baby by then so no point booking next appt' She just gave me a knowing look and said 'see you on the 20th' Damn! she's so going to wind me up today

DS currently squished up in the baby bouncing chair

ooh, must be almost time for a nice cup of tea anyone else?

Yes please

Yes please to tea.

DH adn DD2 still sleeping! DD1 is currently questioning me about nursery and what is going to happen there - I suspect she is upto something

Tweaky - sorry to hear about your bad night bad dreams are horrible for them as they can't tell you what it was about yet. Hope the MW appointment goes well.

Morning Crispy

Morning, sorry to hear of early starts.

Tweakers, would you mind today please, I'm on shift this wkend so would miss birth thread many thanks xx

I'll see what I can do dizz

Good night here once DD2 finally went to sleep at 8.00 (DD1 was better having been bribed with a zoo trip ). DH and i played cards and he won again . He is such a smug winner

DD2 woke at 6.55 and DD1 just surfaced claiming someone made a big bang and woke her up. LOL, she has now just claimed DD2 threw a wooden sandwich across the kitchen and that was what woke her

Pert my solicitors hated me . Took us 6 months to the day from offer to exchange

Hey Hots tis Friday . Are you off camping again? We are thinking of going to Jimmys music and food festival in Suffolk in September if the weather is ok

PMSL at your midwife tweakers. You need to at least be in labour today and then you can both be right

Car share sounds great buckets, i'll bet your DH is very proud of you grabbing this opportunity

oops hope you are enjoying Balamory!

Meant to say yesterday re 2yo tantrumming, i am sure if you look back at my posts from Jan/Feb when DD1 was just two we had exactly the same thing. I kept asking where my lovely little girl had gone . We are getting moments of it with DD2 and i think it is related to cutting molars, so i am prepared for a rocky ride for a few months and we will all come out the other side with our smiley happy toddlers

Morning dizz
