FEB 2011 - Peekaboo!! Sitting, Eating and sometimes Sleeping

[wigglesrock]

, Welcome all - will post stats later, so any lurkers decloak

asda by me closed down due to rioters, beaties and train station had riots, lots of groups of people hanging around very high police prescence. Am very scared at the moment. Only live 5 mins out of town

Hello all,

agree about violence and rioting being so shocking, agree with what ledkr said about the kind of people that do this.

hubbard hope you're ok and it stays quiet round your way tonight.

The football match is still happening later on here which I'm a bit about.

Re: weaning, dd seems to just taste food and then dribble it back out, today she had rice cakes, carrot and cucumber but don't know how much she actually swallowed?! Theres always a lot of food left on the tray afterwards anyway!

Quick message from me, sorry no individual messages but dd is being very shrieky today

hubbard where are you in brum?My friend is staying with me for a bit,she's only in Frankly but its still scary and she's worried about getting to work. My other friend is in Mosely so ive said he can come here too but he has a bike shop in Sollihull so prob wont.

Well,dh has been put on 12 hr shifts so we think its a matter of time before they cancell leave which he starts on Friday,i know its selfish but i could cry,ill be back at work next summer so was looking forward to this year it looks as if ill be taking them on my own.

Ive had one of those days,im tired,dh not back till late and Dilly been a mare.I was crying at one point as i pushed the pram up and down,i called 3 friends and no body answered,then the internet wasnt on so i couldnt have moan,i felt all silly and overwhelmed.

She had some veg and yogurt for lunch,i have made a cauli cheese for tea so im hoping she will like that.

Im not sure i could just ignore her tho,i used shush pat and found it just as effective at bedtime,im not going to do too much tonight,im just so tired im hoping she will sleep one of her good nights,i cant really ask dh to do much if he is on 12 hrs tomorrow.

Hello, really sorry about the rioting going on. It's on the news here a lot, I guess to distract them from the mess they are making of the economy. I hope everyone and their families are ok. I was Head of Year in a failing school in Bristol ledkr and I know what you mean about families running wild. At least families had their houses petrol bombed by disgruntled neighbours I hope yours and wiggles dhs are not affected by this.

Not from Tad originally debka, but was living there when A & E were born. Lovely part of the world and could have met up with 44me if we were still there!

Are you near West Park in Wolvo Hubbard? I was at uni there in the 90s and lived in Penn Fields and up near Heath Town. Loved it and never had any problems there. It's so sad.

I hope your trip goes well 44me. It would be a shame to let those wankers spoil what you have planned.

Hope tea times are going well and the babies are eating up!

hubbard - keep us updated and hope everyone is safe in your area

ledkr :( to your sad day. i hate it when you need a chat and no one answers the phone and it makes you really [sob] . What would happen if you and dh had booked and paid for a holiday? Could they still cancel leave? How does that work with the costs of holiday? Sorry, I know that's totally off point and it will be reallysad if he can't have his week off, but that dilemma made me

tad love how your dc 1&2 are referred to as a&e - it always makes me imagine a&e in hospital for a split second every time

Hope your evening is much happier ledkr.

E has had to go to urgent care to have a piece of the operation game removed from his nose this year, reastie and regularly bashes his head, having had it glued at least once! He's got a few scars already and he's not 4 till next month!

Reastie,im not sure really,i know all the met had theirs cancelled and we really are going on holiday and ive paid for it so it will be interesting to see,ill ask him.
Dilly is such a moody bugger today,am torn between getting her to bed and sticking it out. Ella is helping but even she's full of "what can i do" today and she's been out all day.
Going to go for the whole rusk,calpol and long bath option today,if there was ever a night to get it right tonight must be it

I cant believe some of the do gooding mn's are raging about people saying the army should go in,these little twats arent worth considering at all. Did anyone hear them on bbc-"its cos of the rich people what have businesses,we are showing the rich that we are not putting up wiv it" innit ,thick chavs they dont vwn know why they are doing it and yoof leaders are stil blaming lack of resources and boredom,well if thats the case how come they are selecting foot locker.jd sports and the electrical shops to loot,hardly random is it?

i'm very near west park tad. It's been closed. I'm hearing reports of some shops being smashed and looted and fights going on. Roads are closed and police are trying to contain the situation. Am a little worried it will only get worse as it gets darker.
Not in brum ledkr in wolverhampton. Really feel for your friend. It is very scary

I hope it is ok for you Hubbard. Will be thinking of you.

Good luck with Dilly's bath and bed time and hope you do manage to get away on your holiday ledkr.

Thanks Tad thats kind.
hubbard poor you.make sure you alarms are working and can you put your car somewhere? Theyve not targeted homes as yet,im sure you will be fine. will send vibes i aggree with reastie it feels like a film or something.Ive taken abreak now to watch cdwm cos im over dosing on it all a bit.
Its times like this and when we had the floods-that i worry if anything big ever happened here id be dealing with it alone I bet wiggs is the same. At least i have my boys tho,they'd be here like a shot.

omg Dilly is so grumpy today,i can barely wait to get her to bed.

ledkr hope Dilly goes down ok and stays down for you xx. I hate shit days, Mr W is doing those horrible shifts this weekend 5pm - 3am, so we can do nothing, its also the weekend were we were supposed to go to friends holiday home with them but Mr Ws leave was cancelled last month, so I'm still hissing slightly seething about that. There is a thread in Chat about insurance etc for police officers cancelling holidays etc.

hubbard8 hope tonight is ok for you, its very scary to be so close to that kind of violence.

tadjennyp at E, I was very rarely at my GP with Sofia even though she was PFB and I was clueless but in the first 15 months of her life Olivia had already had 2 hospital visits, one for a few nights, the tea incident and several bumped heads, even now she's tucked up in bed with bruises up and down her legs and terrible looking scuffed knees Although she did spend most of the afternoon hanging upside down from a slide trying to "do gymnastics"

Thanks wiggles im not going to cancel ill just go on my own but dh just sais he doesnt think that will happen as he;s not front line.I cant believe it happening.There are some really sad and scary stories on here.

Dilly is tru to form still crying but with eys closed,i left her for ages but nope still on the go,dh has gone up now cos i was feeling the old familiar anger.

wiggles at "gymnastics"
ledkr hope Dilly behaves tonight, sorry you had a bad day
tad beautiful pictures, your family is lovely. Why are you out in Oregon BTW? sorry if you've already had this conversation on here! Are you there for good? Do the babies all have Yank accents?
That reminds me, hope expats holiday is going okay, feels like she has been gone for months
hubbard hope you are ok tonight

It's shocking isn't it? We seem to be okay up north so far (although I haven't checked the news for a bit) but it is terrifying. Agree bring in the army, curfew, etc. I don't read the tabloids but really hope they don't start their usual accusations of police brutality etc one minute, then claim they are not doing enough the next.

Forgot to say congratulations to deb, well done, you are brave lady, I really don't think I could do it. Although if you would like to come to mine and sort Nate out whilst I go out on the piss, that would be appreciated. I think you owe me for making me retch with your gross dog stories [puking emoticon]

Thanks all for being so kind about the cc, I know it's not popular on MN but it has worked for us.

I wanted to ask tad too what you're doing in Oregon.

ledkr you poor love today with horrid baby, so glad you have a good DH who can take over, put your feet up, have a and get to bed early. I try to get in bed at 9 so I can still have 8 hours when if she wakes at 5 for the day.

wiggles Imy's never been to hosp or even dr v often but she has permanently bruised legs and scraped knees!

hubbard how are things now?

I've been thinking more about the reinbursement of policemen if they have to cancel leave - what if they have leave to get married and all their family have arranged transport for the wedding . Might find that thread wiggles and ask

ledkr hope dilly is sleeping soundly

Hey girls

Well can you believe my

Shopping delivery was cancelled cos of the riots?!?!

Sorry, silly phone...

40 I'm on the edge of my seat

x posted - was it? . hope you've got supplies

Apparently the delivery guys have been called backto the stores to secure it. Nightmare. Dmum got sent home from work as did most people nearby, on police advice. Really unbelievable.

Hope Delilah has settle now ledkr, and that you all have a peaceful night/decent sleep.

We have a wedding this weekend so a night off, woo hoo. I have booked in a spray tan and 'some waxing' - feeling glamorous!

reastie how is your dgpa?

wiggles I swear to god, if Owen and Olivia ever meet they would have so much to talk about. Middle child, hospitals visits (he had a hernia op at 3 mo, plus numerous trips/one stay for asthma) it's like they were separated at birth

WeAreBorg I think that things might be starting in Manchester but I'm not sure - where up North are you?

Debka good for you re cc! I have nothing against cc, I don't think that any harm will come to a baby just because they have been crying blah blah
I think that sometimes they cry for the sake of it (well it feels like it sometimes) I haven't actually done it as the DD's aren't really criers, they just do that annoying whinging that goes right through your ears (yes, I'm looking at you DD1!) but I would if I needed to

How is your mum Debka, btw?

Ledkr sorry you've been feeling overwhelmed today, it's horrible when you feel like you have no one to talk to! Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

Hubbard hope you're ok! It's scary stuff

Have had a right crap day today, nothing major - just a terrible mood! DD1 was up early which is a pain as she just nags for food all day! I think it's boredom as the weather is rubbish and there's not much to do

The house is a mess and I just don't feel any motivation whatsoever!

Sorry the news wasn't more fascinating reastie

Oh crap 40

Aw, Tad your photos are lovely really cute!
