I'm far too busy so the end of the world better hurry up and get on with it!
Today is DPs first day back to work! In a supermarket 4 days before Christmas. He hasn't forgiven me! 
He is only in 1130-3 though so he can stop moaning!
I've got to do the school run at lunch time. Ive got a million and one other things to do. I don't think I'm gonna manage it all but hey ho. Important bits are - take boys in to my work for my Lion King moment! Try and get a GP appt for my mangled bits. The rest of the stuff can be slotted around those. DP is taking DS to school when he gets back it gives me an hour to get ready before he goes to work. I need at least an hour for something resembling human!
We had a fun evening last night. Started feed at 9.30. Was finishing at 1030, well DP was as he took over so I could get organised for going to bed, when Oscar projectile vomited all over DP and himself! By the end of the clean up operation we had shit and piss in his hair to add to the occasion. It was one messy bastard of a job! We've not had one of those yet... So about time maybe?! Ended up having to bath the poor child! Also discovered a really nasty red angry looking nappy rash on him. Which hadn't been there at all 3 hours before. We ended up realising DP had taken advantage of Tesco offering free wipes in the baby changing room , and this is what probably offended his little bum! GRRR! He is all metaniumed up now!
Oh, and as his skin was still dry on his head, I picked up some
Dentinox remembering it had worked for DS1. Well fuck me. It worked. But took a whole layer of skin off. AND LEFT A FUCKING BALD PATCH. Right at the front of his what little there is anyway hairline. Luckily it isn't that obvious. But WTF?! Please tell me it will grow back!
Anyway. Morning! Hope for nice leisurely days for everyone else!

Should also add - DP deserves some sort of award for 'things a man should never have to do to his other half'! He massaged my mangled lady parts for me in the middle of the night lol! Inside and out and then put a nice soothing layer of thrush cream on for me. Poor guy. Think he should be traumatised! He seemed to enjoy it a little too much though...

detective my dsis told me about the dentinox stuff's ability to remove hair so I have avoided like the plaque, esp as DD didn't have cradle cap until quite late on (or maybe it didn't go & I'd ignored it until she was older & it seemed odd perhaps?) and she had a really thick covering of hair from birth, she would have looked really weird. It does grow back though, apparently.
We're watching The Snowman.

Checking in....
Had peads appointment yesterday. No real answers re E's poor weight gain. She may have mild broncilities (sorry for spelling) but there isn't anything they can do. I'm sure there was somebody on this thread who LO had it. Was it J yellowwellies apologies if not and I have you mixed up with somebody else. Anyway once today is over we have a quieter time coming up. Lots of people to go and visit but I'm just going to sit and feed E and let others bring me supplies and entertain DD1 
going back on 2nd jan for a weigh in.
I went out last night for dinner with friends. Had a nice time but got home to find E had only taken 40ml of ebm from a bottle and had just grizzled the home time I was out. She really isn't keen on the bottle but I don't think DH tries hard enough. It's a struggle but I manage it in the end with lots of coaxing. I need to too her up as much as possible and also have a few more nights out planned so she needs to get better at having a bottle! She doesn't get nipple confusion, just doesn't like it.
Roll on the Christmas break

Grumbledore is back. God he grumbles on and on and on when he needs a poo .
Chunky, wish I'd bloody known grrr! I googled but didn't find any other similar tales though??! At least it should grow back though! It's right o his hair line at the front!
Can I just say, I hate our chuffin' cars. Seriously. Now DPs car has a flood in the passenger foot well. Add to that his dodgy door handle, broken reverse light (but not the bulb!) electrical fault, door seal falling off in rear drivers side, engine management light on, yada yada. You get the picture. 
And my car with the spare wheel hole filling with water, which has caused mold to grow while I haven't been driving. And a very fuckjng squeaky seat belt (assume because of the water getting in the car?!). There is more. But I'll cry if I carry on.
Oh and while I'm at it, I need an electrician to fix the plug behind the waking machine, and my outdoor light.
Fuck. If I carry on listing all the broken shit, I'll be here all day. Worst thing is, it will all have to carry on falling down around me until the summer at least when my wages get back up to normal.
Waaaaaaaah!!

Washing machine. Oscar is the waking machine. He probably needs fixing too though .

Thank you for sharing my pain catbag hope things improve for all three soon x how are you, apart from the obvious tiredness?
eliza it was my J who had bronchiolitis. There are a couple more babies that have had it too. 3 weeks on and he still has a horrid cough and vomits the mucous every day or so. We have all had colds, still do. It can make them more susceptible to chest problems for a long time after
