[wigglesrock]

Handing out , and birthday cake

Thanks for reassurance about teeth lasting longer there ledkr! Makes sense to me :)

Evening all,

ponyo poor A, hope she's herself again tomorrow. Sorry work is not much fun at the moment, that's always grim. S has 2 at the bottom, 4 at the top, has done for about 5 months

wiggles we had lasagne for tea, S hoovered it up in seconds.

ledkr asking for dinner that's weird, and rude.

mizk S was grumpy as sin on the day of the jabs but she wasn't actually poorly, and then fine the next day. My 2 have always dealt with imms well though.

I've never worked behind a bar but I enjoyed waiting on, have yet to actually enter a premises to ask if they have any jobs

I accidentally ate 200g chocolate this afternoon, I still feel sick, missed my tea and went for a run to try and make up for it. Weigh day tomorrow....

ponyo was it you who found my oven pride thread? I rinsed this morning and the racks look AMAZING, oven could do with another dose though

T'was me Debka! Was it good?

mine would probably need about 5 goes

I shall have to get some.

Noooo deb what oven pride thread?! Actually don't tell me, you've just reminded me that my oven is a disgrace and needs a massive clean

Get into some pubs and ask for work! I'm with ledkr, I love bar work, if it's quiet you can chat and if it's busy the time goes quickly! X x

Um deb An oven pride thread??? Come on,where is our Deb gone she seems to have been replaced by a stepford wife
Did you try it out on dh?Did he fit in the bag hawdy haw.

deb ovenpride is amazing I love it - although it is dh job!

ledkr HA that's funny! No he's Mr Clean now, 3 showers a week

Hi all, well I'm off work again with a poorly baby Sent her in this morning but they rang saying she wasn't well so I collected her, she is asleep on me at the moment. Got a docs appt tomo morning. I stayed at nursery as when I got there it was lunch time, thought I may as well try her on food there rather than at home! She didn't eat much, not even chocolate pudding so I know she's not well

Am posting from my phone so am off to read the end of the thread...

Poor little Anya, I always know mine aren't well when they can't even face pudding! Hope she perks up soon.

I just put Sabine down for a sleep in our rather chilly draught lobby (had to google whether I actually meant draught or draft!!), because Imy's asleep in their room, and DH is working in the office. It was there or the boot of the car

Right well you know how everyone is avidly avoiding getting knocked up again? My friend who had her son 4 days after Sabine was born (she was briefly on this thread too) is PREGNANT!! Only 5 weeks, but I thought you all ought to know

Hope everyone's having a good Tuesday. xxx

Poor Anya, hope she is ok.

Yeah for your friend deb The boys are only 14 months apart and Imogen and Archie are just under 16 months apart, I like them being close in age!!!!

Just having a quiet sit down while the two babies have a nap, having a bit of a bulb watching This Morning (that I recorded) the actress that is in Upstairs Downstairs who has Downs Sydrome has been interviewed, she is amazing. So sad how negatively Downs is portrayed in many walks of life including medical ones

I watched that 4forme, she was lovely. It is sad how negatively Downs is portrayed because it means that people quite often don't understand it and view it as a negative thing, which isn't the case.

Poor Anya, Ponyo! It's horrible when they're ill. Hope she's better soon!

Debka congratulations to your friend! My friend who had a baby a couple of weeks before C had another at the end of December! She's got a 2.5 year old, 1 year old and 2 month old .

Sorry, haven't posted for a couple of days as S is really clingy with his molar. Will be his tenth tooth. If he's not clinging to me he is knocking the bin over or climbing on his toy box, the little monkey!

Hope A gets better soon, ponyo and tomhubbard too. Poor little mites.

Ledkr, your PILs are really self-absorbed, aren't they? Are they the type who get offended if you are direct, but don't bother picking up on hints? Sound v like mine.

Wishing everyone who's applying lots of luck with job apps It's not easy at the moment. It's just about stopped snowing here. Hope the dcs go down nicely for you.

ponyo poor Anya, sending her some squishy hugs. Hope she is better soon.

44me It is upsetting how some people are so negative about downs, especially in this day and age.

tad Hope S's tooth comes through soon, poor little guy.

Hope everyone is well, I started work again on Monday and I'm bloody knackered! I have baby mindee tomorrow and can see it far enough, on that note I'm off to try and get some shut eye.

Hope you get some sleep Blizy! Sweet dreams

Poor S with his molar tad. Bless him, they're so painful!

I've not seen that 44me, sounds interesting, think I know who the actress is though. On a positive note, have you seen the little girl with downs syndrome who does kids modelling? She is so cute and her mum seems cool, in a "it never even occurred to me that she couldn't model" way.

Blizy hope you get some kip. I'll give A a hug from you!

Can't believe the babies are getting molars, yuk I'm dreading it

I emailed in my job application today, fingers crossed eh.

I'm eating mini eggs and drinking wine, very extravagant for a tues night!

Robin, I had to sit here counting on my fingers working that out as I thought it couldn't be right. Woweee!! How early was the 2 month old??

Waves to everyone.. I have just read the last page but will try and read back some.

I have added some photos.

44me it's because most people don't think they should be alive- most would terminate for Downs. Horrible horrible horrible, it always shocks me when I hear people talking on here about it. I would never consider it, I believe children are God's gift, regardless of their DNA. I would struggle not to judge someone who did. (I think that may be the most outspoken I've ever been on MN...)

Molars are awful, Imy didn't get hers till she was 2, poor babies going through it :(

blizy lets hope your utter exhaustion results in some good rest.

Lost 1lb this week, better than a gain I suppose....

X post tarlia- gorgeous photos!

And ponyo- how is Anya this evening?

Hi tarlia! Am on my phone do will nosy at your photos when I have the laptop later

Debka well done, a loss is still a loss indeed. A seemed ok, still not right but perked up a bit after some calpol. She's hardly had any food or milk for days now, she feels smaller around her tummy, aw. Oh and agree with you re terminating for downs syndrome.

Tarlia she wasn't early! Well she was born at 38ish weeks, my friend got pg straight after her 2nd was born, there's about 10 and a half months between them. Her DD1 born at the beginning of Feb 2011 and her DD2 born end Dec 2011. She has a DS (first born) who is 18 months older than her DD1!

I remember getting the text to say that she was pg again and panicking a bit because I hadn't had my first period after having C yet and I just thought, "How the hell?!?"

Tarlia I can't see your pics . Sort it aaaht! I used to be WanderingSheep, btw in case you didn't know.

Which reminds me that I need to swap my profile over but I'm not sure how to do it. Hmm...

I have a friend who's dc are in the same yr at school,now that is quick. No danger of that happening to us sexless lot haha im going to bed earlier and earlier these days and certainly cant be bothered to move once im in bed,never mind shag
Dilly ate her dinner and breakfast herself from a bowl last night and managed not to chuck it so hopefully we are on the right track.
She is still not fully walking but taking about 6-10 steps at once.
We have singing today then im helping at the school then straight to dancing phew!Dh is on 4-12 so its my worst night.
I just told him he is like a child.I went to bed early last night after cooking and tidying most of the kitchen. The dishwasher needed to go on after he had finished with his plate and the sides needed wiping down.
I got up this morning and none of it had been done. The heating was left on all night and the back door unlocked. Does anyone else ever tire of being the grown up

debka - I try not to judge other people but I couldn't terminate for Down's either. I don't think I could terminate for any reason tbh.

Robin - at your friend.

tad - poor S, I hope it comes through quickly.

It seems L may be an overachiever in the teething department? His top 4 teeth came in within a week and all 4 molars did the same, so teething hasn't been too horrible.

I hope all the poorly babies (and hubbard's Tom) are feeling better.

I just found out my younger sis is pg. She text me. Why do I feel so angry and jeaous? I feel so bitter and horrible I am really ashamed of myself. She smoked all the way through her last pregnancy and will prob do the same again . i really don't want anything bad to happen, of course I don't, but I hate feeling this way.
