DD is finally asleep upstairs, after having started the Dreaded Sleep Regression (nothing to do with, as DH accuses me, the wine I've been supping over the last few nights - my DM came to stay). Meanwhile, DH has been doing a lot of sleeping like a baby before a DSR phase (snoring on the sofa, no feed required: frequent, unshakeable sleeps, and up all night!)
I had a phone call earlier today from someone I used to do some work for, and it was really good to be remembered, and to chat about what could need doing, all the while with DD in the sling in front of me! Despite the sleep difficulties, she is sweet, and, my, is she growing: I did the changeover to 3-6m clothes this weekend! The only 0-3 things left are her trousers, as she still has little legs. 
I'm biting the nails, as I have not had a single successful painless attempt with the clippers. Poor love.
Blimey, MissRee, what a pain to have to go through, without your usual buggy! I twicehad one repaired through Mothercare, and the experience varied enormousy between the 2 different shops. Definitedly avoid the Saturday staff when picking up! You'll get through more than one feed cycle if you do that! (Mind you, the second time I did a fix, the shop was brilliant.)
LMF, isn't a mullet a fish? Haddock for the hairdresser, not mullet! (Glad to hear that being busy has distracted you from feeling low). How is Edward now? What did the OOH doc say?
Speaking of haddocking, Kate, I was copping out of some feeds in the early days, to give my nipples and self a rest. By now, i should think supply was well enough established to skip a feed without drastic loss of future supply (otherwise, what thehell would happen when/ if a baby unexpectedly slept through?!)
hawthers, try to kill two birds with one stone: burst the milk boil and squirt H with the resulting rush! Perhaps it will have even formed a sort of mozzarella hailstone, which would give him a goodshock! 
AirofHope, hope you're feeling better!
msbuggywinkle, which Torchwood series is it?
Re television: There's a lot of CBeebies on here at the mo, keeping DS busy while I feed (he's just told snoring DH that he "can't hear Chuggington"!); it's horrible to contort myself to read to him asI feed. When DS was small, we watched tv on mute with subtitles!
Determined, why is DP still shouting at you? Haven't his ears been burnt off his head, at all we've been saying?! Even you have been telling him he is being nasty : that sounds rare enough for it to be a serious shot! As for you thinking; "He's a fantastic dad why am I such a failure" - er... NO! He is being a twat, and as I said above, everyone can become a better mother with support. Knocking you down knocks everyone at once - can't believe he is being so pig-headed. 
What girls said about her niece's also having "zones" of bad behaviour made me wonder whether it really is insecurity: behaving well where she knowsshe won't get away with anything worse, and being a - pardon the Polish - little shit in the environment in which she doesn't think she can lose anything, bevcause you will love her "no matter what". I'm not quite sue how to deal with that, tho', as it's too harsh to threaten such a young child with loss of love, yet it would be helpful isshe thoughtabout the consequences for your feelings!
-oops, x-post with msb!
Honey, as for D(?)P's trying to make you feel a failure, he's not doing that too well, is he, since offering to hire in cleaner and childminder only mean he's saying he's incompetent to do those things himself, don't they? 
Oops, expensive indeed, figgygal, but that sounds a good decision about the filling.
What's wrong with the car, seven?
Had a good smirk at the "fart catching," jigglebum! And your DD's naivete about the "cute willy",itsybitsy. Hehehehe Hold on to those things when H is being an arse!
P.S. mopsy, congratulations on your hangover! I do mean that; it is fun to rebel every now and then, and if we weren;t "hard" enough to take it before we became mothers, we certainly are now! (speaking of "hardness", aethelfleda, I can't understand why you were nervous about getting to and from the wedding: of course you were going to manage it! )
So sorry I haven't caught up with everything, but I have been working on this post for a couple of days, and although it would be arrogant to imagine anything I said would make anyone feel a lot better, I do want you to know I think of you all!
