Dec 08 Mums - still biffing on

[LadyThompson]

Yes, yes, it's a bit lame. I wanted to say: "Still fucking on!" but wary of causing offence....

I know 'biffing' is a bit PG Wodehouse, as well. You'll just have to humour me

Seriously Beans is there anywhere you haven't pooed. Crapola shop for not having a toilet though, I managed to only shop in places that have a loo onsite while in UK, not so many do here but most cafes have a loo anyone can use for 30c. Also Beans nice shoes but is it wrong to think that name is a bit pornstar ish?

Feeling very crappy, I have whatever the boys have had and they are still off school with it. Of course today by halfway through the morning and too late to take them to school they were fine and I have been feeling hot, dizzy and crap all day. They are currently having a great time in the bath, and looking forward to DH to get home to save them from grumpy mummy.

Bum just found out DHs train delayed he was still at Schipol airport station at 40mins ago waiting for the train to start moving again. It takes about 40 mins from there and the 15 mins to cycle home from the station so goodness knows how much longer he'll be.

Bummer Vag. Hate that.
Beans ds wanted and got these I thought they were horrendous on the shelf but not as bad on. I didn't care - just wanted to get out of the shop after waiting so long. The actual purchase took about 10 seconds as he wore them home.
DD has these and also these recently. She wears the white ones to death but hoping she gets lots of wear out of the others when it gets cooler as they are slightly bigger.
Hi Lady, thanks, must catch up soon. Obviously will before Dec, but parent's coming then and will bring them out to the C'wolds for a weekend and catch up if you can? I have a friend who works at a lovely pub near you with rooms we can stay at.
ooops gotta go

Panic over.... dd dramatic.
Beans, cracking walnuts - priceless!
Hope you feel ok soon Vagola

Thanks for all the kind comments. Only here could I get cheerleading over the state of my vajajay

Oh dear, my plan to get rid of the dummy is not going to plan.

When we got back from work/preschool there was a letter waiting from the dummy fairy explaining she was now a big girl and tomorrow night the dummy fairy would come and take the dummies and leave her a present. I've read tons of threads on here where this has been successful.

She was quiet for a while then just sobbed and said she loved her dummies. I said I thought the dummy dairy might bring her a bike (bike already bought!), she just cried and said she wants her dummies instead. As I left the room at bedtime she said 'no one is taking my dummy', in quite a sinister way.

They are meant to be excited at this bit and then upset afterwards, but only for a couple of nights. I don't know of we should abandon the whole idea. Am I just being soft? She only has it in bed. DH wants to call it off. Should I stay strong? The plan was for her to leave her dummies out tomorrow.

What is your reason for taking it away, JB? Because you feel she should, or because you have had advice from a dentist or other medical professional?
TBH, if it's only at bedtimes and her teeth and speech are fine, I'd wait and try again another time. These things don't always work for everyone - I tried the dummy fairy with T and he was most unimpressed. He ended up giving it up of his own accord without any intervention on our part...

Thanks spot. I just felt she was getting too old. No teeth issues or anything. Did you abandon the idea before you took them away?

Oh and well done on the walnut cracking vag! I love that phrase beans.

I mooted the idea of exchanging the dummies for toys and he was so against the idea (regardless of the size of toy) that I knew it wouldn't be a goer.
I also tried it when DS2 was just a few months old, and felt like i was taking T's babyhood away from him before he was ready and replacing him with B, so I had my own guilt to wrestle with too!

...

If the dummy was a teddy would you feel she was too old?

It is just her comfort object that's all. She will give it up in her own time.

Mine are all thumb suckers and the big 2 have little blanket style teddies. I can't chop their thumbs off! Ds1 keeps his doudou in his bed now but still hunts it out sometimes in the day if tired. Dd leaves her lions at home all the time but they still tend to end up in the living room rather than in bed :)

Look at me all dressed, breakfasted and almost ready for hte school run!

After I posted the advert on the left of my screen came up for the pelvic floor toner .

I think the universe is trying to tell you something, indith...

whoop whoop everyone back at school or nursery today. I have my life and a quiet house back. So to celebrate I am off to the gym and then walking the dog then a solo trip to Tesco. Get me I know how to live

Jam, throw in a lunch with wine, turn that Tesco trip into a delivery, add a pedicure, and that's mine

Mine have gone to pre school and childminder. I had my ECG and now reading my book. Doing nothing of any use this morning!

News is that my Grandpa died last night. Was v peaceful in his sleep. He was 97, so I don't feel really sad, just pleased it was a quiet way for him to go after an amazingly long life.

Very jealous of proper days off. My only mornings off are Tuesdays & fridays but Friday DH works from home so I don't have the house to myself and so far the of the three weeks they have been back at school they have been off sick for two of those tuesdays.

The lurgy continues today, DH is working from home & is very busy but at least he can do DS1's school run. Wednesdays are a half day so he is going to pick him up now. I've actually been completely passed out all morning and have just emerged now to have a coffee before get a caffeine headache. We have the babysitter tonight so we can go for a run together but not sure that will happen as I'm feeling like crap. Also feel very guilty for having slept all morning, how stupid is that.

When do you get the ecg results Beans. Thinking of your family, how is your mum?

Jam that actually sounds like complete bliss.

Spot what are you syaing about my pelvic floor? Actually I ahve been squeezing like a mad woman too so hoping to gently gently start jogging and running without turning myself inside out.

Ds1 at school. dd had first settling in session for new nursery and didn't want to come home. From next week she'll be in for 5 hours 3 times a week. Woop! relatively free time!

Sorry to hear about your grandpa, beans, but what a nice way to leave this world .

Oh bloody hell I should really read properly.

Very sorry about your grandpa Beans. I'm glad he went peacefully x

Beans, sorry to hear about your Grandpa. What a long life he had & lovely way to leave it.

Beans, so sorry to hear about your Grandad. Xx

Sorry to hear the news about your Grandpa, Beans. Thinking of you and your family.

Beans sorry to hear about your Grandpa.Love to you and yours. x

Oh gosh, please don't worry about sympathy. It is sad, but at 97, he should be celebrated!! Mum coping brilliantly. As she said, the parents she loved have been gone for a long time, Grandpa was really a shell of himself.
Let's move onto happier stuff!
I, for example, have finished painting our wendy house today! Very proud!

And I meant to say - thank you so so much for your lovely messages, but I don't want anyone feeling blue, just happy!
You lot are smashers x
