Opps
I'm referring to GF 7-7 routine. Which includes a 11pm dream feed. Which in my ideal 9-9 routine I would give at 12 as LO feeds every three hours. ATM he has final feed at 9. Then sleep to 7.30. Feeds then bk to sleep till 10ish. I KNOW IM VERY VERY LUCKY 
My issue is I still sleep quite late (when i can sleep that is!) as DH works shifts. So I end up staying up to have some normal grown up time. Or when he is on nights or early, i stay up late to have some alone time as pil are around all day.

J is a bf baby and he does 3-4 explosive poos per day still :/ I'm now wondering if that is normal? He's 9 weeks and still has bright yellow runny poo with pips in. 
I'm struggling big time today, both older DCs are being shits and I don't have time to do everything all the time !!!!!

Pikz and toomany, little pig was going that often until the gaviscon wreaked chaos on her poor little tummy helped her reflux. Have an appt with GP to get some ranitidine for tomorrow, as can't face the weekend with reflux/constipated baby.
On a positive note, little pig has put on 1lb 5oz in 12 days

Oh yes, I know. I'll still save for a pension one day soon as I won't ever rely on anyone else. I've always been too independent to rely on anyone, not even DP. I've got my plan, and who knows. Perhaps when I get to retire, I will be able to live the wild life with my pension, and his dosh... . I'll be one crazy old lady! But on the plus side, my children will have money to help them through life. Not soon enough to help DS1 on to property ladder etc, but at some point, he will. Oscar will benefit more as he is so much younger.
On a similar subject, both my parents have insisted that they won't be living once their quality of life deteriorates in their old age. I know what they mean by this. Has anyone elses parents said similar to them? Or are both mine strange!
My mum is furious at my dad. She hates him more knowing that he has all this money because he screwed her over when they divorced. He got the family home, and me and my mum lived in my nans granny flat, which was as big as a shoe box, there was no bedroom, just a living room with a kitchen and bathroom attached. We lived in that for almost a year, 2 adults and a child!
He never paid her a penny in child maintenance because he moved to Switzerland not long after they separated, and the CSA couldn't chase him. He was supposed to be paying £600 a month, and that was 19 years ago. And not on his even bigger salary that he got from moving to Switzerland.
Whatever. He is the one who has lost out - he lost out on my childhood, and he has lost out on his grandchildren - which most parents can't wait to have. He isn't arsed. He called himself uncle c to DS1 a couple of years ago. Then realised what he had said and corrected himself to grandad c. Idiot. I'm sure he forgets he has a daughter and grandchildren, and that instance just served to demonstrate that!

AIBU to have the rage and take myself off for a lovely bath with lush smellies?
At 6pm got home from my mums with M, she's fallen asleep in her car seat so is finally quiet after spending the day crying.
Put her down and went to sort out the pile of junk letters on the coffee table. There's all the Xmas cards that DH took down when he took the decs down while M and I had a lie in on Sunday so I put them to recycle.
Then I realise there's none of Ms cards. Last week I'd made a pile on the fireplace of all the 1st Christmas cards for M from us, grandparents etc and the Mummy and Daddy card from M to us. We've got a memory box for her so I was going to put them in there. Ask DH where they are, no idea. It's looks like they've gone in the bin
but the pile of big standard cards from neighbours and acquaintances etc he's piled up. Why? Did he not think that I might have piled them neatly on the fireplace for a reason? I know it's something or nothing but I wante to keep them. An I know I'm being irrationally annoyed but I took myself off upstairs as I could feel I was going to cry
probably the effects of M being wingey all day.While I'm upstairs I think I might as well do something to busy myself while I sulk so I sort out and put away about 3 loads of washing, tidy the bedroom and bathroom which are both bombsites. Come downstairs 30 mins later and he's still sat on the sofa playing on his phone and Ms still sat in her car seat on the floor. Hasn't bothered to get her out, hasn't thought oooh ill cook some tea or clean the kitchen.
He's just asked what shall we have for te, why he can't think on his own. So I've seized te opportunity of M being asleep in her car seat with her coat still on and gone for a bath leaving him to cook.
I know it's everything bubbling up and me being annoyed at not getting chance to do anything and M being v cranky but I'm fed up tonight so stuff it, I can't be arsed
Sorry for the epic moan

Gah! I've got a blocked duct in my boob this is what I get for 6 hours between feeds last night. I'm already taking one if the antibiotics they prescribe for mastitis for my c section scar hole so hopefully it won't get too much worse!
Will catch up properly later, but yes PR my LO laughs when feeding - too cute

Fatima rant away. I am super pissed off with dp for very similar reasons. (although not binning things, I would kill him for that!)
Tonight was meant to be his first day on nights. I told him to take the car just incase he got away early or needed to come home for whatever reason in the middle of the night, I'm not needing it anyway! They have a minibus liftshare thingy at work which they've been using, which is great during the day when I need the car. Stubborn bastard thought he knew best getting it tonight and is now going to get away at midnight. I'm so angry with his lack of forward thinking as he now expects me and M (okay, we will probably be awake but it's freezing tonight) to go and get him . We're a 45 min walk from the site - should I make him walk it? If he was organised the muppet can't organise a piss up in a brewery he could get a lift home in one of the boats. But no, I have to go and get him because he "did me a favour leaving me the car" - which I neither needed or wanted
As for revenue and customs? When I registered self employed at the start of the year I was told to take out a NI exemption certificate and cancel it when my earnings went above the threshold. I queried this a few times and was told each time that as long as I made voluntary contributions it wouldn't effect any benefits (ie MA). This is in fact utter bollocks and because I had the cert for most of my pregnancy before cancelling it I am treated as having not paid enough NI - despite paying the whole damn lot through voluntary contributions. Don't know if that makes sense but basically they screwed me over and won't do a thing about it. Horsey you're right, if I hadn't worked the past year I would be a lot better off. Luckily DP has permanent work this winter and not seasonal otherwise we really would be screwed!!!

Kissys you have my sympathies - have had excruciating sore boob for a few days, usually can get rid of blocked ducts but this ones getting worse and now have big red patch - trip to doctors tomorrow if no better.
LO will only fall asleep lately with my boob in her mouth. Am too tired to fight this.
Good luck everyone for lots of sleep tonight.
