KLou111 · 20/04/2012 13:34

Lol, I've already been looking at how to decorate his room. He'll nearly be 1 by the time we move (2nd July at the earliest due to mortgage) so don't want it too 'baby'.

Have you had a look on the net for a dress Liz?

Yes have looked on a few websites, there is 3 nice ones on a site called look again, but hat means having to order all 3 then returning what I don't want, and I hate having to return stuff from catalogues, just a arseache so wanted something from a shop I could try before I buy.

Well just had abit of a scare! Went to put diesel in my shogun and wanted to pay by card, but it got declined!!! Never been declined in my life!, so went to cashpoint to get a mini statement as I thought there was plenty in th bank, but it wouldn't do that either! To got all worried thinking my account been hacked and someone stole all my money, but no thank god!, my card runs out end of next month, Southey have sent me a new one, but I haven't received it so in the mean time they have cancelled this card I have. Anyway, got a new one coming to replace the lost in the post one! God I nearly had a heartattack!

lizandlulu · 21/04/2012 22:01

Don't shout at me but bought a new pushchair today!! Second hand off the Facebook for sale site. But it's lovely it another Luna, but he fuchsia pink with orchid liner, looks really stunning. I have sold a silver cross one to part pay for it! Got messed about abit, went to Lincoln to meet the woman with Luna, was waiting for her when her hubby text to say the pushchair they was buying to replace the sold Luna. Their sale had been cocked up and they couldn't now sell it cause it would leave them pushchairless.. S was abit peed off as had my heart set on it but said not a lot they could do about it nd he was ded apologetic but left it at that. Then about 2 hours later she ring to say she had bought another one and I could have it if I still wanted it, so met her and got it.

So now have the obaby zetec, 2 lunas and a maclaren. Love them all tho!!!

But god you get some messers on them Facebook site, I have put a few bits on and hardly sold anything despite people messaging me saying can they have stuff, fucks me right off. I put a Lamaze play mat on there for a fiver, for weeks no one wanted it, so thought I would try eBay, I didn't really want to have to send it, but wand rid, so put it on there and got 16 quid for it! As ded chuffed

KLou111 · 21/04/2012 23:01

You need to go to pushchairs anonymous!!

Night x

You do have a pram fettish liz! Lol
scary about your card beinf declined too!

Yey about the house klou. Bet you are over the flippin moon!!

Bought my new Luna on Friday and I absolutely LOVE it!! They gave us the rainhood, sun umbarella, liner and a second hood free so I have a blue hood and a green one.

Problem is that MIL bought the old pram and doesn't know we have bought a new one. OH dear lol Wink need a little devil smiley.

KLou111 · 23/04/2012 11:09

Morning ladies :)
What an arse with your card Liz!
And all that running around with your pushchair, but glad you finally got it sorted. What you like!! I think Rob would pass out if we got another one lol. The only other one we have is the cheap one for holiday!!

Glad you like yours iwish, will be a lot easier for you :) what a great deal too!!

Well, all good here, dying to pack for our hol, but with all the viewings, we can't really which is a pain, as I like to be organised a week before we go away, so if we need something I can go get it!

Agents been on the phone already his morning about new house, they are gunning for a 28 day completion. Think they can fuck off lol!!!
Might have thought about it if we got it a bit cheaper!

Euan good, not keeping still AT ALL though which is lovely but a bit of a pain ay the same time lol!
He wad sitting up on his changing table this morning, I bent over for a nappy, and he did a forward dive off the end!! Thnkfully he had his bottoms on still so I grabbed them. I absolutely shat myself, and my heart almost came out my chest!!!
He is climbing up us now, which us lovely, he is walking with his walker, with us pushing it for him too. Don't think he will crawl tbh, he just wants to stand.
I went out to have my hair done on Saturday and Rob said he climbed up te coffee table twice, and stood on his own, no support for about 4 seconds. I was gutted I missed it, but he did it for me later that day :o
And what is with the 4-5 poos a day at the moment????!!!!!!????

Oh, forgot to say, tooth number 3 on its way, front top left :)

KLou111 · 23/04/2012 14:04

Omg, for a baby that doesn't really cry, Euan has not stopped since 12.30 when I put him in his cot to sleep!!
Now he's learnt to stand in it, it's all he wants to do!!! So I lie him back down and screams as he wants to get back up. Doing my head in!!

OP posts:
KLou111 · 23/04/2012 16:14

Me again. Get this for a very strange almost meant to ne coincidence. We moved from a village called long itchington to move here, and the person we are buying the new house off is only renting and trying to buy the house next door to our old one. The guy that owned it was a complete and utter twat, and he was the reason we had to bump our purchase price up. If only we'd known.......!!!

OP posts:
Iwish · 23/04/2012 21:37

Omg klou I don't know where to start with you lol!!
Bless Euan pulling himself up all the time now. Bet he's driving you crazy doing it in his cot tho. I'm glad Joshua can't do it yet. Lol at the poos. Joshua is the same. They are only little poos tho.
Tell them to sod off about the completion!! Bloody 28 days.

lizandlulu · 23/04/2012 21:37

Sme babies do miss out crawling klou don't they! Euan sounds like he's ready and raring to go! Hope he calmed down today. So your next door neighbour to be is moving next to your old house?? Freaky!!

Iwish, glad you like the luna, they ar so so good and lovely to push.

Well had to take violet to the docs today, her chest never really cleared from weeks ago, but last time I went to the docs she said it was viral and nothing can give her, but it's not got better, and last night got a lot worse. She's got a cough and snotty cold on top of it too and she was really upset last ight, so got her into docs 3pm today. They have given her more antibiotics, which worked and cleared it up first time round in February , but also a steriod tablet, 2 tabs once a day for 5 days. He said that it might be asthma tho! Got to wait and see if this meditation clears it up but if it does come back then they will treat it as asthma, in. Which case I will see if I can get her treated privately seeing as I took out that pritave healthcare insurance a couple of months ago.

Just hope she has a better night sleep than she did last night

KLou111 · 24/04/2012 18:28

Oh no, hope violet is better soon Liz poor little mite :(
Bet she's had enough of feeling rough now bless her. Big hugs x

Hope Joshua ok iwish

All good here, Euan a lot better today re sleeping and been so much happier.
We dropped the cot, and put him back in his sleeping bag and now he can't stand in the cot. However he makes up for it all day!!
There is a slight step up from our conservatory to kitchen, he pulled himself up on that today, he sits on the sofa and pulls himself up with the arm, he gets on his belly on the sofa, slides off hands first to the floor and gets stuck! He'll be off soon!! Then we"ll not be able to leave him!! Oh the joy!!

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 24/04/2012 21:40

Haha, you will want to chop his legs off then!!! I have just sold the blow up ring we had, on Sunday she chucked herself out of it head first, not once but twice so that wasn't any good no more, so went to mums to fetch he travel cot, was going to use it as a play pen in the living room, just so I have somewhere safe to put her if I need to do something. But lulls bloody claimed it!! She's spent all her time in it after school, had her breakfast in it, played in it, watch telly in it, then moans when I put the baby in it! She's even going to sleep in it on Friday night! She wanted to sleep in it last ight when I brought it back, but she won't get a good night sleep and don't want her messing on a school night, so Chris said he will sleep on the sofa while she sleeps in the cot on Friday night. Oh well, at least I will have the bed to myself!

KLou111 · 27/04/2012 17:53

Lmao at lulu Liz!!! Bless her, she doesn't want leaving out :)

How are we all?

Well, just had the best news, we've let our house!!! We were getting a bit worried, long story, but basically we thought we'd have to pull out of our purchase. So I've just spent the last half hour grinning from ear to ear in tears as it's actually happening :o We're going home!!

Good god, Euan literally has not stopped trying to stand all day!! Just need him to stand properly now :)
Sleeping is better again, woke him at 8.15 after he woke briefly at 4 as he'd spun round.

So happy x x x

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 28/04/2012 14:51

Oh what good news for you klou, you must be so so happy, everything coming together for once!!!!

Well I am sick of this rain now, spoils everything, we was ment to be going to Norwich tomorrow for a game fair, but I'm not going if it's raining, which it will be. It's not fair to drag the baby round when it's cold and wet. So may have to drag her round John Lewis instead!

Oh nd lulus night in the travel cot didn't go well! She came into my bed at half 12 saying she couldn't get comfy in it! Leaving Chris on the sofa. But she takes up more room than he does.

How's everyone else?

Iwish · 28/04/2012 20:49

Yey klou sounds like everything is going your way now Grin
Your video of Euan was so cute you put on FB. How's Euan been with his standing today?

Did you go to John Lewis liz? The rain does spoil things, it's rained all week here so me and Joshua havnt really been out and I like to go for walks. It was sunny today tho but as soon as I got the pram out the car it started raining Angry
Poor lulu but I bet she won't sleep in it again. How's Violets chest and cough now?

Went shopping for a wedding dress yesterday and came back with feck all. I'm too fat and nothing looks nice in me. I'm getting married in a tent :(

lizandlulu · 28/04/2012 22:56

Too fat!!!!! Get a grip woman!!! You need me to come its you and sort you out! YOu are beautiful, I wish I was as 'fat' as you!! Did you go into your town shopping? Was they very helpful? Wo went with you?

Oh and how's Joshua's eating nowadays?

And no, not going to John Lewis till tomorrow. But am looking forward to it. Going to Nottingham and parking in the Victoria centre so probably won't even have to go outside, good job in this weather.

Violets chest is better than it s, but still seems to have a lot of phlegm on her chest, worse after eating or sleeping.. Shes Hd all of her steriod tablets, well drank abit of the juice ight them in, not all of it, but can't force her to drink the stuff, and got no tablets left, but about half the antibiotic left. Really hoping it clears up soon.

She's still got no teeth coming! I was making her laugh today and holding her back so I could see right in her mouth, but can't see anything, not a thing. And she's not pulling herself up either, not even trying. She's getting the crawling thing well, I am sure if it wasn't for our wood floor she would have done it by now but I think she find it easier to just slide along the floor! But she does have the right actions going on.

Oh, and Chris dad is back in hospital after his mum came home from work yet and found him unconscious on the floor. Apart from being drunk, his veins in his neck are bleeding which could kill him, they bled before, but when he briefly stopped, they stopped bleeding. And he got hypothermia from laying on the flor for hours. The hospital said the next 24-48 hours are crucial and if his heart stops they won't be recusitating him.

Well he's finally getting what he wants

Iwish · 29/04/2012 09:54

I went into the next town along (my town is awful) my mum and best friend came. Strange as my mum isn't coming to the wedding and doesn't know when it is but she wanted to help look for my dress lol. I'm going to the Trafford centre on Friday to have a look because they have bigger department stored like debenhams and bhs etc. the ones I went to on Friday only had catalogues and no dresses. :(. Fingers crossed for next Friday.

Yeh Joshua is eating well. He has 3 meals a day fruit and weetabix for brekkie and different things for lunch and tea. He's having whatever we are having. Cottage pie, spag Bol, jacket potato. He's has yoghurts and rice pudding too. Is violet better with her savoury stuff now?

Bless her, I hope it clears up soon. Will they give her more anti b's if it hasn't cleared up?
Maybe it's good she's not getting teeth yet, less whinging and bad nights lol. I think Joshua's might be on the way because his nights have got bad again. I think I can see one at the bottom waiting to come through.

Omg that sounds awful for chris dad!! Does he not want recusitating?

KLou111 · 29/04/2012 17:57

Omg Liz that's awful with Chris' dad!!!

Really hope violet clears up soon, poor little love :(

Well iwish you are just bloody enormous!!!! Wtf???? I thought you were getting a dress off that internet shop?
Great with joshuas eating, good little fella :)

Well, far from normal day in our house today. Took dogs to kennels, tenants for here came for lunch and sort some stuff out, packed car for holiday, Euan started crawling......... Wink

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 29/04/2012 19:41

When is it you go klou?

Well Chris s dad has died this afternoon. I don't now if he didn't want recusitating, I imagine he would ,but I don't know, I can't timagine he would be in a fit state to ask about it, I don't think he was concious enough to think properly. Everyone seems ok, we was expecting it really, just got to go through the motions now, Chris is going over to his mum tomorrow afternoon.

Yey with the crawling klou!!! He is suck a forward baby!!

Iwish, you have got to try on really, no good looking in books. How do you feel about second hand? You can get some right bargains on eBay. But didn't you want a not traditional dress?

KLou111 · 29/04/2012 19:48

So sorry Liz :( hope Chris is ok x x

Going tomorrow, flight at 9, so leaving 5.30ish, early start!!
Just making Bacon baguettes for the journey.
Might not get on while away as hotel is £20 per day for WiFi!!
If not, speak in a couple weeks.

Take care x x

It's absolutely pissing it down, what a shit journey!!! Looking forward to some sun :o
