LittleMissFlustered · 16/04/2012 19:45

Tiredness is catching, I'm sure! Transmitted by yawning children and holding sleepy babies... All three of mine re unconscious sonim in my put waiting on a date with the sandman:o

LittleMissFlustered · 16/04/2012 19:47

Air go get a second opinion:(

AnAirOfHope · 16/04/2012 19:50

I like tangled girl hitsman with frying pan and ties him up - whats not to like!

Mulan is good too and cars, dispicable me, shrek and kung fu panda (tieress is great).

I want both my kids to learn how to swim and self defences.

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 16/04/2012 19:50

My fav Disney film is Treasure Planet Grin

Air I agree go & get a 2nd opinion.

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 16/04/2012 19:51

Air I love that bit of Tangled too Smile Can't beat Finding Nemo - Just keep swimming Grin

Figgygal · 16/04/2012 19:53

I love Disney unfortunately for DS my fave is the little mermaid he's already watched it once Grin. Am a timmy time fan about the only thing I've found I can watch repeatedly.

Chubster Is on his jumperoo strange thing is my mum has 1 for my niece and he was in it fine over Easter now he has his own his feet dangle off the ground. Ok she has carpet in lounge and we have wood but can't believe it makes so much difference!! He is propped up on a cushion at the moment bless him

AnAirOfHope · 16/04/2012 19:54

If im no better tomoro im going going to see gp. I think i might have mestiaus now from mot feeding like normal and im sure i had blocked ducks last night. Now my throt hurts, i have fuzzy head and my boob hurt and is engourged. It just hurts so much to feed i cry.

AnAirOfHope · 16/04/2012 19:58

Im takingust painkillers and trying to feed but hope doesnt take much. She is 21 weeks and only 12lb 2oz and tiny. I think she had growth spurt and now dont need the exvess.

Just gerrrrrrr and ouch

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 16/04/2012 20:08

Air Sounds like Mastitis to me Sad

BeeMyBaby · 16/04/2012 20:27

air DD1 loves KungFu panda (in English and in Berber), DH has already started teaching her aikido, although not all that successfully.

I really dislike in the night garden and I'm super lucky DD1 doesn't like it very much, although demands to view the iggle piggle ride whenever we go to the supermarket.

Thinking about looking into the myfitnesspal app, I have eaten a ridiculous amount of chocolate over the last few days and think I may turn diabetic if I continue which really freaks me out but I find it really hard to stop.

We don't do bonjela etc here as DH has a fear of the DDs gag reflex being numbed, so we used bickipegs when we weaned DD1 (weaned at 5 months and got teeth at 5 months) which seemed helpful and fridge cold teethers.

AnAirOfHope · 16/04/2012 20:41

Beemybaby my dh wants our kids to learn aikido from 4 yo when they can follow instrution. That and swimming is the things we argee upon as parents.

I do tei chi and he does ice hockey so we hope the kids like that. I want then to try snoeboarding.

NorthernChinchilla · 16/04/2012 20:47

Ah, bollocks.

Coming back from the park (where I had achieved one of the things I so desperately wanted to do, I took my son on the swings!) there was a tinkle as I walked in the house and a bolt fell off the pram...
And it's a Mothercare one (sound familiar MissRee...?) so DP has shot off with it to try to get a replacement and ours repaired. As I don't drive, and DP is 17lbs, and we live on a hill, I kind of need it.
I'm just terrified he'll come back with some nightmare that we'll have to use for weeks, and that DS will get blown over like Freya did Sad!

That's a good point BJR, and I may snaffle people's suggestions to you re the high chair. DS spends a fair bit of time helping me make sandwiches, stack dishwasher, etc, so we do need something for the kitchen. He's too long and too reclined for his chair now.

But that means I'd have to go to Ikea, which is double bollocks. But needs must!

And figgy, remember that as long as he's on the centiles then he's within 'normal', and that out of a hundred babies there's got to be one on the 98th as it were (and it means a couple more will be bigger!). Your HV is indeed talking out of their posterior.

Must find 'In the Night Garden', although DS is still entirely happy with 4Music Grin

Hope you get sorted out soon air and get a bit of sleep tonight.

Well, tonight is transfer night- DS has gone up in a full-length onesie and baby worm thing, and I've prepped a bottle of ebm and one of formula, the chair is in the room...just not sure whether to dream feed him or let him sleep on when I go up.

NorthernChinchilla · 16/04/2012 20:53

Success!
DP just called, it's being repaired but they had one of ours (a Spin) in store to give out on loan- I'm saved!

It'll take up to five weeks though, so am wondering where the hell they send then to be mended...

MissRee · 16/04/2012 20:54

Ooooohhhh nooooo Northern... Which store did you take it back to? Bluewater? I saw a Graco travel system on one of the FB selling groups for £60ono (carseat, cosytoes and changebag) if you'd rather buy something to get you by in the meantime?

OiMissus · 16/04/2012 20:58

Good luck with the pain relief and second opinion Air.
the funeral was nice. More distant family members (nieces and nephews) turned up, who we know of but don't know, so that was lovely. And they came back to my uncle's house and went thru old olphoto albums, again really nice. The vicar is an old lady who is retired but will do special services on request. We asked her to do my grandma's funeral 5 years ago. She's lovely, so sweet and calm.
Unfortunately Ali cried for most of it. Sad Stuart took him outside towards the end. I felt awful, but my mum, aunt and uncle said that it didn't matter at all. (and they all wanted cuddles at the wake, so I guess we're forgiven).
I cried, I said my goodbyes. I'll be thinking about him a lot over the coming weeks. Tis all good. Smile

Ahh cross post! Glad they had your one in store and you didn't get a minging replacement Grin

NorthernChinchilla · 16/04/2012 21:21

Yes, it was Bluewater... can't believe how lucky we've been to just make the store before it closed, that they've accepted it (took birth certificate and bank statement, for some unholy reason I don't appear to have kept the receipt Confused) and that we've got the same one as replacement!
Cheers for finding a possible replace MissRee.

So glad the funeral went well Oi, it sounds as warm and affectionate as these things can be. I can imagine your discomfort re Ali though, but no-one will have minded at all. Glad you've had a cry (iyswim!) and hope you're raising a glass to him.

MissRee · 16/04/2012 21:25

Big news of the day... bathroom is tiled and grouted Grin got the carpenter coming tomorrow night to measure up for our custom floor to ceiling cupboard to house the washing machine and boiler!

neverenoughsleeportea · 16/04/2012 21:30

Thoughts are with you oi sounds like it went as well as it could Sad

Who is deprivedofchocolate on my fitness app? Can't figure it out!

MissRee · 16/04/2012 21:36

I am DutchessRee on myfitnesspal. Feel free to add me bit I shan't be entering today's crappy food! Grin

OiMissus · 16/04/2012 21:51

I joined myfitnesswotsit also, as OiMissus. But after entering yesterday's English breakfast, I decided to not start the diary until I'm back at work and cakes and big breakfasts are out if reach!

Glad the funeral went well oi, I took DD2 to DH's grandads funeral at about the same age, and no-one minded any crying, they were just glad we were there. Sounds like it was a lovely service/wake too.

air, get your bottom to a GP tomorrow please, I agree with LMF it sounds decidedly mastitic. Good luck xx

V impressed with all the DIY misree. i have a huge list of little cosmetic things to do about the house to make it shiny and saleable, but no time or activation energy. Today my sum total of achievement (apart from usual washing mountain) was to tie and tidy up my two clemati (clematuses??) on the patio climber thing. Move over Percy Thrower....

Right, prep for the DDs back to school stuff (uniform, book bags,PE kit and shoes), then off to bedski until DS wakes me up.

MissRee · 16/04/2012 21:55

Please save your impressedness for DP who has done all the work whilst I've sat my huge backside on the sofa moaning about the mess Grin I'm such a girl Blush

seven77 · 16/04/2012 22:29

neverenough I'm deprivedofchocolate. I put my name on the request as Seven77 but it obviously only came up as my username. I love how many of us are on there, and that I'm under my calories for today despite a blueberry muffin!

oi glad the funeral went ok.

Eva sat up for a record 4 seconds today, she usually goes sideways or forwards though. She's been rolling front to back for weeks, but back to front she's reached the stage of rolling sideways then getting stuck because her arm is in the way.

Teetha says not suitable for lactose intolerance :(, I didn't realise until I'd bought the bloody stuff! Anbesol is brilliant though!
