Lol a close horse you could be onto something there! And unfortunately there isn't protein in crisps although if there were I'd be one healthy chick.
has eaten 2 packs today

memphis83 · 26/01/2012 21:46

mlic protein in cheese and meat, so what about quavers and smokey bacon crisps? Grin I honestly dont think ooh Im not eating enough of X Y Z, I dont eat cheese except on pizza, dont eat fruit, yoghurts and only have a dash of milk in tea, so my bones are pretty ruined from no calcium rich foods!
Today I forgot my lunchbox so I have eaten a finger of fudge, a slice of cake, 2 glazed doughnuts, a mars drink, and a gingsters sausage roll then came home and have had a healthy tea Grin the diet is going really well!

On ironing when it is tumbled or hung it doesnt need ironing but on the airer it needs it i still iron L's vests and tea towels

MyLifeIsStillChaotic · 26/01/2012 21:53

Just two dh? Lightweight Wink

There's an onion tart in Hugh FW's Veg book, I was going to cook it last week but didn't get round to it. Must try it some tim.

On the curry theme that started last night this looks lush and not very difficult although a million calories Might try it, I love curries but am always disappointed

DesperateHousewife21 · 26/01/2012 21:58

I didn't say what sized bags though Wink

I'm off to bed goodnight see u at 6

kkfairybrains · 26/01/2012 22:05

Poor little dude tsc keep us posted how he goes with the nurses. Bloody horrific that they dont have a bed for him :(
Memphis....tea towels...seriously!! Nutjob! I iron literally only what has to be which is very little really as I use tumble drier but it always ends up with a big basket to get through.
Emsie I would love to be of help but i'm in ireland so it might be just a little toi far to come Grin
Lying on the couch with the fire lit after a big chinese. Bliss! Craving chocolate so might send dp to get me some. I'm giving him the pleading eyes but he doesn't look like he's getting up :(

Chulita · 26/01/2012 22:07

I should've gone to bed an hour ago, I'm knackered, DH is at work but instead I spent the whole evening knitting cakes, watching Road Wars and eating rice krispies. Rock on! I don't watch much tv and just felt like vegging but you're all right, there was nothing on...didn't stop me watching though.

tsc hope F starts using his lungs properly again, thinking of you!

CakeandRoses · 26/01/2012 22:25

oh dylth really sorry to hear that. how are you doing?

kk such a relief that it wasn't something that needed surgery. hope the poor darling is feeling better and you get some rest tonight

we are a bit food-obsessed here aren't we mlic? never clicked before!

talking of which - those triple choc cupcakes i did the other day were divine. best i've made. i'm having a toss-up between doing them again or the apple muffins tomo.

vik totally second what trudy said about not feeling guilty about having another baby. it really won't be long until you look at them playing together and realise it was the best gift you could have given D. i had one of those magic moments yday watching my two holding hands and singing row the boat together.

just heard from tsc that they're in a&e with F loving all the attention he's getting from smelly drunks

tbh mlic it's thought to be quite hard to be protein deficient if you're eating a varied diet as so many things contain protein. you're probably eating lots of things (baked beans? milk? peanut butter? humous? eggs? peas? oats?) which contain it which you're not thinking of. if you're weight training, lots of exercise etc then you'd need more but otherwise you're probably cool. most of the western world have too much (animal) protein if anything and it's possibly linked to an increase in various illnesses and possibly calcium loss.

had a mad day at work today but starting to feel a bit more on top of life/home/everything at last. I got a great appraisal from my manager on thurs too which was a bit of a surprise tbh but it's made me realised i'm handling things better than i thought i was.

F was sooo cute on the way home from nursery today. we went via waitrose and i said he could choose a treat and he chose a strawberry soya milkshake to drink as he walked. halfway home he said 'thankoo [sic] mummy. it's so lucky to be able to have a milkshake, isn't it?' melt

DesperateHousewife21 · 27/01/2012 07:38

Poor tsc and F hope they managed to get home. How's F doing today?

D slept til just after midnight, then woke at his usual 6ish but luckily went back to sleep til just gone 7, sooo much better.

I still want him to have an early nap though so that's the only downside.

MyLifeIsStillChaotic · 27/01/2012 09:12

Poor Fong, hope he's ok

kkfairybrains · 27/01/2012 09:54

Thats is adorable cakes! Can't wait til E is talking fully!
Hope little Frankie is ok tsc
Dh I couldn'y even contemplate starting my day at 6 everyday!

How was your night vik?

memphis83 · 27/01/2012 12:04

Hello everyone, had hair done, L hasnt slept much, im shattered, dentist has cancelled on kme so off to iron I go!
L must be cutting teeth but I cant see where, he cried all night holding his ears and jaw saying ow ow ow again. he is great in the day though and went happily to my sisters.

tsc hope F has improved overnight!
kk my teatowels took shaby if I dont and I have them hanging on the oven door, dh thinks I an a teatowel snob!

Trudyla · 27/01/2012 12:37

tsc Hope F is feeling better soon.

memph Hahaha @ teatowel snob. I do like the look of ironed clothes and bedlinen and teatowels but the price to pay is too high Grin

dh Glad D slept longer than 6. Is he in your bed or his bed these days?

cake Awwww. I love to hear cute stories of your two hanging out together. Keep 'em coming!

Sorry about your aunt dylth

chul I'm the same in the evenings. I am so tired but won't go to bed cos I'm enjoying the peace and quiet so much.

viks Wassup? You're quiet.

I've just realised that I've been trying to book M for a vaccination since 2nd January and still haven't managed it cos she's not once been totally right. The doctor will only do it when she's a hundred percent well. Is it normal for kids to pretty much have a cold all fucking winter?

Poor F has a cold too and brightly flushed cheeks. Fingers crossed he's not teething. Breastfeeding is shit enough as it is.

Cold, cold, cold here.

What's everyone got planned for the weekend?

MyLifeIsStillChaotic · 27/01/2012 13:19

Barbers Smarbers cake - I've just trimmed E's fringe with the kitchen scissors Grin

memphis83 · 27/01/2012 14:12

trudyla L has what seems his first snotty nose ever, I blame us being social last week and actually meeting up with kids! Grin he sneezes and comes to me with it hanging off of his chin I actually heve everytime he does it!
Ive just picked L up from my sisters, she has just given me my present for bday in the carrier bag, with receipts and the pack of wrapping paper in the bag with it...not actually wrapping the present! Grin I have a new springform cake tin in shape of a heart and an Emma Bridgewater tin (both with the prices on them!)

Seems we will have an ill child on holiday oh great!

Glad your home tsc, sounds like you could do with a good nights sleep. Hope F's new meds help.

trudy he's half in his bed and half in mine. It's just laziness on my part I can't be bothered to get up in the middle of the night to put him back in bed. I think he'd sleep in either bed though.

viksam · 28/01/2012 03:01

Hi,
Nothing up really just tiredness catching up on me! Had some friends and the Eve's round yesterday morning, it was carnage but fun, amazing how different all the children are and there is only three days between D and two others.
I'm finally back upstairs after over an hour feeding and winding F but he's still not settled, it's a nightmare for him, it must be horrible, he is trying desperately to pass wind but can't seem to do it. We are even trying colief at bloody £12 a bottle but no change yet.
kk I have brought two Dr brown's bottles am yet to sterilize them though. How's things your end?
tsc hope f is responding well?
cake I agree with Trudy. I love seeing ur pics and hearing how lovely they are together.
I can hear D moaning, due has been in once, why can't he sleep? Poor boy, I really want to help him but don't know what to do.

viksam · 28/01/2012 03:02

*eves= dc's! Stupid phone!

viksam · 28/01/2012 06:31

due = dh!! tut

CakeandRoses · 28/01/2012 09:55

So pleased you're back tsc how is he now?

that party sounds the most random ever! are you going?

memph i know you've had a heck of a lot of poo to deal with but i can not believe you've escaped the snots til now! one of my two is always snotty it seems - them going to nursery is a break for me away from nose-wiping apart from anything!

vik and trudy heart-melter today was over-hearing F saying to A [talking about his train bridge she was trying to play with] "It's not working, poppet"

he's going thru an edible stage all round at the mo. twice yday he said "you make me so happy, mummy" (obv copied from when i say it to him) Grin and got down from his dinner at the table to kiss my hand and then hopped back on his chair. i'm not sure if it's all part of some wider plan of his to get more chocolate or something tho [suspicious]

no advice on the sleep front - both of mine are fuckers. have given up trying to work it out tbh, i think it's just most young children Sad

CakeandRoses · 28/01/2012 10:18

also a random question (i WILL do a survey soon i promise) but dh dislikes 'poppet', it's me who says it, got me wondering what you all call your poppets DCs? Mine are:

Both of them: Poppet, darling, froggies ("c'mon my froggies") & pigeon pie. Oh and Myxomatosis (yeah, i know Confused) or frogspawn when i'm jokingly cross.

A: Lady A, my bug, Rella, Rella Roo, Roodle Roo, Poodle poo, Moodle Moo, my Roos, Roodlehead... you get the idea tbh the poor thing rarely gets called her actual name!

F: Mr F, Mr Man, big boy, speck (?!), fluff (?!!), my bird (wtf? in my defence i think it might be a west country thing)

Bit of an eye-opener writing that down! I'm not even sure i can honestly say that i only use some of the awful ones only in the privacy of the home Grin

MyLifeIsStillChaotic · 28/01/2012 11:22

Both - baby (yeah I know, one of 'em's three), bubby, pudding, sweetheart, darling, monkey, monkeynuts

They both get their name but lengthened, so E gets [his namey]ey [his name]eypops, W gets [his name]bottoms, [his name]baby

E gets popsy
W gets Wilbo, Wilbob, Will.I.Am. Weirdly, never Will.

dh calls W Wilhelm (as in pronounced Vilhelm) and I can't stand it Angry He also calls them both [first name surname] which irritates me irrationally.

Probably loads more!
