I liked the CRESH acronym more than FESH so have used it. Welcome all ESH to your final stop on the journey. Rest your aching lady bits, try one of the many gin based cocktails, and try to molest the gorgeous waiting staff.

Interesting wrists discussion. I keep waking up with mine aching. Wasn't sure if I was sleeping on them, it was the breastfeeding or my new phone!

To Solve nappy timewrestles do potty training a la the baby whisperer, she would have them on t'potty from 9 months Shock

I can't even begin to imagine how that's possible!!

My friend's 1yo recently had a tummy upset, major attack of the runs... They dealt with it by leaving her nappy off Shock

Oh, the horror!!!! WHY????

ginhag · 18/05/2011 10:43

Ps agree re pull-ups. Especially once they stand/walk. Then you can change nappy without having to pin them to the floor and sit on them. Changing them standing up is actually much easier...

Baby giant has been up since 6.30ish. Has fed for nearly 2 hours in total since then and is still going. I'm a withered husk of a woman. And not managing to get a lot done!!

CluckyKate · 18/05/2011 11:22

Wrists fine her but have got wooden ankles, esp. when walking down the stairs. Think it's a side-effect of BFing along with the night-sweats Hmm.

Couldn't master pull-ups with LC as she refused to stand still, however, she was quite happy to lie on her back to deal with normal nappy stuff

There's a certain logic to leaving the nappy off when the shits are in full force but would need to lock child in the dustbin for the duration.

haha kate! Grin When Bear had the gastroenteritis there were certainly a few "all hands on deck" moments and there was a vest or two which was cut off and binned... but I'm not sure I could've sat back and watched the Trevi fountain on the living room floor. In brown. :(

SilverSky · 18/05/2011 18:13

Ming Ming Ming! alps

CurlyCasper · 18/05/2011 18:26

well, seeing as Squeaks has just done her 5th big smelly poo of the day, I don't think we'll be doing the nekkid method any time soon!

Backinthebox · 18/05/2011 21:01

10 hours till we need to be leaving the house - OH is not packed (his clothes are not even dry yet, even though I washed them and I pegged them on the line, only for him to watch them being rained on.) I have packed everyone else, and also the joint items like passports, camera, etc. Cause noone would turn up for a flight without a passport, right? Hmm He is still not packing because he is playing cricket. Yes. He is playing cricket a lot this year because apparently I stopped him playing cricket as much as he would like to play it due to having babies. Silly me. You will, of course, recall that we don't go on holiday much because it might mean he misses some cricket.

And were the fuckity fucking hell are the clothes I got out for us to travel in? They are not where I put them, but I am amazed they have been tidied up, as nothing else has been tidied up around here in weeks.

PollyPoo · 18/05/2011 21:10

I'd say leave him behind box, but you need someone to look after the children while you sink all the tequila that the island has to offer. Grin

Backinthebox · 18/05/2011 21:24

God, I'm that cross I can't even get the right 'where' out. Damn right I need him to help with kids. But there is an adult only sister resort to the one we are going to, with a spa, just down the road. Wink

Backinthebox · 18/05/2011 21:34

He is in the fucking pub. I have had stern words.

CUNextTuesday · 18/05/2011 21:36

Fuck me! The pub???? I'd be gouging his eyes out with rusty teaspoons!

PollyPoo · 18/05/2011 21:40

Men... pfft. Pack for fantabulous holiday to amazing location... or sit in pub and talk cricket? Confused Can't you leave the kids with him and take Clucks to the adult sister resort? (I am getting all kinds of wrong images from the words 'adults only sister resort'... )

PollyPoo · 18/05/2011 21:42

By 'stern words' do you mean suitcase (packed) applied to back of head?

CurlyCasper · 18/05/2011 21:48
Angry Pack for him- but only pack winter clothes and frilly knickers. Tell him otherwise until he opens the case at the other end. Oh, and accidentally wash his cricket whites with the most ghastly-bright coloured item of TTs you can find. "oops"!
CUNextTuesday · 18/05/2011 21:54

Nah, just pack for him cricket whites and a box. Then post pix of his beach 'outfit' on t'other place for our delectation Grin

rollerbaby · 18/05/2011 21:55

Box - pack his cricket bat and 14 sets of pants. He might take note... Have a fabulous time!

ginhag · 18/05/2011 22:01

Let him pack his own clothes, pissed, late, or not at all! You have everything you need, and everything the kids need, plus tickets, passports etc. If he spends the holiday in his pants it's not your problem.

Have a nice Wine and get excited...you're gonna be in Barbados!!! With a husband that only has one t shirt and some dodgy boxers to see him through Grin

CluckyKate · 18/05/2011 22:04

Chill Box - pour yourself another Margarita. Seriously...the packing is his problem, not yours. This is your long-awaited, much needed holiday and getting stressed is not permitted.

Have a brilliant, brilliant time and if he's not ready for your 7am departure I have my passport and fat-size tankini at the ready Wink

ginhag · 18/05/2011 22:05

Kate and I are in agreement. It is not your fucking problem!

ginhag · 18/05/2011 22:07

Just to check...none of us actually packs for our fellas,right??? What with it not being the 1950s n all.....
