Fab Feb 2009 - come rain, wind or shine, we're here for each other with copious amounts of wine

[dinkystinkyandveryverybored]

New thread for us to quaff and chat away on... though as the sun is out today suspect I'll be pootling around here on my todd for a bit

Hi all, hope you all had a great Xmas. All fine here though DS has been poorly most of the time, poor love. My two both had a lie-in until 8.30 on Christmas Day - I had to wake Lilian up in the end as I couldn't wait any longer for her to get up!

Rosie congratulations on your new little one - lovely name

Happy new year all. Hope DS is fully recovered now Calico - seems to have been lots of bugs around this Christmas.

Happy new year everyone.
Luke's been a bit poorly, we had him at A&E the other day for the nebuliser. He is ok now though. they did a chest x-ray and said there was something there but they weren't sure what it was so gave anti-biotics, and although he has a bit of a cough, is fine now.

Poor L - glad he's better now SM. Must have been scary having to take him in to A&E though. Mind you, Danny now loves childrens A&E (having been so many times last year) - lots of toys and tv - what's not to like

Yes dinky It's something like that here too! I'm ok with it all actually [heart of stone emoticon]
No idea what to do today. Def have to get the boys out of the house though

Hello all - quiet on here! Are you will battening down the hatches for the impending snow deluge?

Has anyones child suddenly gone from loving nursery to hating it? Danny was in tears tonight about nursery tomorrow - I thought he was happy but wonder if recent staff changes (2 of 3 leaving last term) have unsettled him. Any tips on how to comfort him and make him look forward to it again? He has some good friends there so its not that he has no one to play with....

Hi dinky. Poor Danny, hope he's ok. Jacob sometimes says he hates school because his friends and teachers are rubbish to him! Lol
I have no idea how you can help Danny through it.
Not experienced any of this with Luke but am expecting it to be bad when he has to go to school all day and not go to the day nursery.
Am sure Danny will perk up about it once he's fully settled back in after holidays.

Thanks SM. He seems to have come out in a really bad cold so maybe it was him feeling ill. He's quite a homebod really and v attached to me and his nanny at the best of times I guess. Keeping everything crossed he settles in ok soon.

Birthday season upon us already!!!!

Wow its fine round fast! What does Luke want for his fourth birthday? Danny seems to change his mind on an hourly basis. Think we might get him and DS1 bikes for their birthdays this year.

For fine read come! Bloody predictive text. Grrr

Lego mining, 2 wheeled scooter, Nerf gun, jigsaw & play tent but not all bought by us!!!!!

Luke is totally different to ds1 in terms of development have 3 older siblings to learn from!

Wow that's quite a haul - lucky Luke!

Luke is now 4!!!!! Who is next?????

Happy birthday Luke - hope he had a lovely one. Did all the snow bring back memories of when he was born (or rather shortly thereafter)?

ahhhh, happy birthday Luke!
Can't believe it's 4 years already!
My Luke wants Mike the Knight Toys for his birthday, and the Moshi Monsters house (he got the tree house for xmas), and despite getting a new scooter for Christmas, he wants another one because he doesn'tlike the one Santa brought him.
No idea what he'll actually get...........

There's the baby boom at the end of Jan/start of Feb - Swampy, MsLucy etc.

may try and find our stats list, come on dinky, you will probably find it faster than me!!!!

The most up-to-date list I've located so far (on this thread:

Wow! Look how many of us there was!

Happy 4th to everyone. I feel very happy, proud and privileged to have lurked around known you guys for so long.

very true swampster!!!! I only really follow 3 thread, D'ya ever... multiple thread (have met some of them) April 07 thread (met some of them as well!!) and the Feb 09 thread

lucky to know people who are going throught the same thing at the same time soppy cow emotion

Ahhh that list makes me nostalgic :) I didn't join the due in Dec thread when I was pg this time with Caspar - moved too fast and everybody seemed really really young!

How is everyone? how exciting that there are new babies to look forward to :) Cas is now 7 weeks and unfortunately I think he has some sort of reflux as we literally can't put him down and he is very hard to settle/wind ect so fingers crossed when I take him tomorrow for his innoculations I can have a word with someone about it. He is a lovely baby though.

Can't believe he is my last, I am grateful for my 5 wonderful children but I'm 41 in a couple of weeks and this really was it for me - took ages to fall pg and boy do I feel old and tired ATM lol but I will always miss the wonder of a very tiny baby.
