December 2011 - April drools!

[OiMissus]

A new thread! squee-eeeze. :)

If these night feeds continue i will definitely be raiding the fridge on a regular basis!!

aethel I love cooking too and have a groaning shelf of cookbooks which I love to read like novels (and I probably follow the RSS feeds to 30 food blogs) but I fear a large part of my life is oriented around food and getting interesting ingredients...I have been known to travel across London to visit a specialty cheese shop or a great Korean restaurant, for instance

I loved Borough market in the olden days before it became tourist central and now love Maltby St where a lot of the non-prepared food stalls from Borough have moved. There is supposedly a farmer's market near me but I have yet to visit. I love going down to my MIL's in Cornwall as there are so many little farm shops and farm butchers around her so we can get really quality stuff. I order quite a few interesting odd things online but Chinatown is still my favourite place - best mangoes in the world!!

Tyel there's a summer meet brewing if you're up for it. We're going to conquer and steal all the cake visit Birmingham and pretend to be cultural while Oi lusts over a shopping centre she's yet to raid walk around:o

Also, to whoever thought I'd be mainlining coffee today: I have the first of many buckets of latte in front of me:o

In my night feed haze its taken me a few hours to realise i found out i was pg a year ago today..... Wow time goes fast!!

I am getting increasingly annoyed that everytime I ring "D"H to check how he's getting on, he says "Yeah, really well. I've just got to..." and then reels off about 5 hours worth of jobs. WTF has he been doing up in Manchester all bobbing week??

He's currently in B&Q buying paint and batteries for the sodding smoke alarms. So he's still got to get back, load up the car (he hasn't even bagged up his clothes yet) put batteries in all the smoke alarms, empty and clean the fridge freezer, touch up the paint work, ask the neighbours to put the bins out for us on Tuesday, take the meter readings, drop the keys back to the lettings agent. That's just the list off the top of my head. No idea what else he hasn't bobbing told me. Aaaaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!!!!

Bobbing lazy bob! :o

I need to go to b&q too. I hate the place, it makes me think I'm going to get stuff done when in reality I buy stuff that takes a few years to migrate to the shed where it slowly decomposes into a pile of dust >_

Sick in hair is gross!

msb what time did your DD1 sleep until?

I've heard the 30 day shred is a killer, I really don't think I'm capable if that much exercise as I'm the worlds laziest person!

I bought DS new shoes on Wednesday, then found they're not supportive enough for his hyper flexible ankles and he's been limping. I took him to Clarks and got some properly fitted yesterday, his walking got worse to the point he was crying that his shoes were hurting him and he was doing everything possible to avoid walking. I checked the fit myself and the Clarks ones are like sodding clown shoes . I can't even kick off in the shop return them until Wednesday, so he's back in the limping shoes as I'd already thrown out his old ones.

Clearly I'm just in a sleep deprived bad mood. The cats are annoying me too. After being desperate to get out of the house all week, they now won't go more that a foot from the back door if they can't see me now I've finally let them out. Normally I'd find this really endearing so clearly I need a haddock.

I bought a lovely joint of beef to do a welcome home Sunday Lunch for DH. Good job I haven't started cooking the blinking thing yet. He'd better be back here by 7 or I'll be eating the entire thing myself just to spit him. Childish? Moi?

spite him even!

argh indeed kitty hope he gets a shift on soon.

I am addicted to Pottermore. I have been sat playing on it for four hours so far. That is all.

seven We woke her up at 10am. Have discussed and will be implementing a New Plan today.

Seven Darcie has severe hypermobility and we get her Start rite shoes and they are brilliant. Esp as she in toes really badly and they help to straighten her feet.

Ugh, one of the cats has now done his/her business on the hall matt. You know, one of the rough, get all the mud off your feet ones. That is fitted. How the bob am I going to clean that up?

Think I'm just going to go back to bed and cry

Thanks dsm, will try to find time on DH's days off. The nearest start-rite stockist is 10 miles away from the Clarks shop. Eva has her hospital review on Wednesday and I have dentist Thursday.

kitty for your DH if you need one.

In an effort to be healthier I'm eating cous cous with tuna and lemon juice for lunch. It's really good but I suspect I'm still going to be hungry and raid the chocolate digestives

myfitnesspal is very scary! A chocolate digestive is 85 calories, I've had 3 this morning! And I will not be eating flapjack for the foreseeable future. I've only got 649 calories left today, and I didn't even eat breakfast!

Been to walkin centre waited two hours to be told "it dont look like thrush". I now have a scripd for parasetomol painkillers and lanolin - which is what i have already been using and it still fucking hurts.

I give up now i want to jump off a bridge but instead i will have a cup of tea and go to bed. This too shall pass.

seven isn't it just? It's a real incentive to only have one of something, or to choose a healthier option, when you know you're going to see a big number coming up in the myfitnesspal diary. Especially when you go for a 30 minute run and realise you've only worked off half of that Costa blueberry muffin - so sad.

Pirran is being a total horror today. Even breastfeeding isn't helping. He hasn't pooed in 3 days but that doesn't usually seem to bother him. MIL thinks it's teething because he is stuffing everything into his mouth and drooling so we will try some bonjela - calpol doesn't seem to have done anything.

I made good use of my night feed to plan my food for the day so I know what I can have for a snack - a banana, joy.

I did manage to go for a 26 minute run earlier! The first exercise I've done in a year.

Hmm friend has just given me some hotel chocolat chocolates, do I dare look up how many calories they have... Back.on min

60 cals each definitely worth it

Seven No worries :) am pretty clued up on Hypermobility as i'm a severe sufferer too!

Tyel If you can't get hold of any Ashton & Parsons teething powder, have you tried Teetha teething granules. They are great imo.

Painkillers have kicked in and elephants are not stamping so hard now. Just about to munch on my Maltesers easter egg.

I'm thankful that I don't have to watch my weight in the respect of losing it, I have to watch my weight to try and stay at the weight I am.

Question: Sky starts swimming on tuesday and its just my luck AF is around. What is the best form of leakage protection in the water?

Hi all, ugh cat poo kitty poor you, I wd be tempted to go back to bed too.

Went pram testing today, almost decided on a quinny buzz - mclaren good but cdnt cope w the woods I walk through

We're having a teething/grump day too: A keeps gumming anything in reach, dribbling and clinging/feeding. I'm giving the odd dose of calpol/ibuprofen when the poor lad seems to need it (Ibuprofen is anti-inflammatory so good for toothaches). DD1 got her first two teeth at four months so I wouldn't be surprised if he teethes early....

Sorry you are feeling bad, air and kitty, hopefully things will
Improve for you both. Cleaning poo: no super clever suggestions but I suppose scraping off the worst with cardboad into a nappy sack, then using and binning an old rag to get some wiped off, then dettol/bleach and a scrubbing brush on the last bit? Yerch though...

Hmm reading Quinny reviews and veering back twds the McLaren.

We've got Teetha granules here. BOi likes teh taste of them- hurrah! He screams the street down if we give him calpol, squirt stuff up his nose, etc.
bee is it really impossible to maintain supply by expressing at work? :( This is my plan, feed in the morning, express during the day, feed evenings and nights... I ideally want to get to 6 months...
I might look up myfitnesspal. I have to start cutting down my crap intake. My belly is getting wobblier and wobblier.
