VF you just made me laugh for the first time today.

LO woke up, he had poo to his armpits and whilst I tried to run an emergency bath peed all over the chest of drawers. He's now asleep upstairs. I may join him.

I hope for more than an hours sleep before he wakes like yesterday.

Weigh in tomorrow, I wonder if ill be accused of over feeding again. If so am sending DP next time. Yes his father is fucking 6ft7 what are you expecting!

Did we get any closer to a Scottish meet up? I lost track of the old thread by dropping the tablet....

Sophiathesnowfucker · 06/02/2013 20:48

What fun to have a meet up madam big and evil

vf genius. I am your vampire friend.

Blimey, I haven't checked in since yesterday morning and there are tonnes of posts!

I have discovered the secret of getting N to sleep again....... drive 300 miles during the evening. She slept for all of a 5 hour journey - bar 40 mins when I woke her for a stretch and a feed - and then had a top up at midnight, went down in her cot with no arguing, and slept til half six. Result :) obviously, it's not going to be easy to replicate that every evening but you never know, I might just get that desperate!!

Let's see what happens tonight......

GT my friend has 2 with 13 months between them. Hard work at first but at 3 + 4 they are great friends and into all the same things - it's lovely. won't mention the friend with seven under 7

horseylady · 06/02/2013 20:51

Yw - still not ruled out cmpi :( they treat as reflux first though I think :(

BigFuckingPig · 06/02/2013 20:51

So childish sophia
This is how whole threads get gobbled up.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 06/02/2013 20:54

7 under seven is obscene!

I know BFP is great is it not? I am fitting n all the childish things I can before the big 4 0 in March.

BigFuckingPig · 06/02/2013 20:56

Go for it sophia - having done willies and sworn lots, what's next? Boobs? Grin

Evilwater · 06/02/2013 20:56

Did someone mention me Grin what a lovely day, with big and madam.

DP is being a Bastard again, he doesn't want N to go to nursey at all! Angry instead he (meaning his mum) will look after N while I'm at work. Yes that's right folks, he will look after a nine month old while being the only employee of his company! Envy
Apparently N dosn't need social skills. Envy

I've looked at the money side of things again, and if I go back for three times a week we will be short of £100 a month. £80 for me, and £20 for N childcare. Perhapes I could do some extra work on the side, at my sisters company.

Did some one ask after a Sola pram? I love mine, but the only problem is it takes up all the room in my huge car.

MadamGazelleIsMyMum · 06/02/2013 21:05

One down. DS asleep. One to go, DD almost asleep. Didn't resort to SATC BigPig, 'twas Downton this time. Have GOT to sort bedtime.

7 under 7. Fuck that.

TheDetective · 06/02/2013 21:08

BFP?! BFP... did I hear a BFP?!

Change your name, quick!

So fucking jealous MN won't let me change my name waaaaaaaaaaah!!

Evilwater · 06/02/2013 21:09

Yes, 7 under 7, is the definition of hard work.

BigPigLittlePig · 06/02/2013 21:10

Oh silly men evil - I'm sure he'll come to his senses within a few days of that plan! Have you looked into working for an agency, once you've done the necessary time back with the nhs?

YellowWellies · 06/02/2013 21:10

V true Evil That's why we never use the pram bit - that and the fact that DS can't be laid flat due to reflux. I find the pushchair bit folds down really small.

Horsey I really hope its not CMPI as its such a PITA - if it is keep an eye on how he gets on with soy formula as in 50% of cases they have trouble with soy protein too - I think pass's wee girl had that problem. I'm going to try to reintroduce soy this weekend to see if J is OK with it. Please please please - Chinese food, sushi and dark chocolate all lie on the other side of the soy hurdle......

BigPigLittlePig · 06/02/2013 21:11

Gah none of those sort of bfps here!

ValiumQueen · 06/02/2013 21:11

Tonight I wish he was on formula so I could fuck off to bed. I am not going to though, but earlier today when I saw the blood, it flashed into my mind that he might need to go on a special formula for intolerance to me, and wouldn't that be great - an excuse to stop bf. I do not mean it though. I am just tired beyond any tiredness I have ever experienced. Ever.

Am I too late for sweary Wednesday?

Thanks YW and Evil. I'm having a right to do with bloody prams. Sick of the sight of them! It's so hard to get all the things I want in one shitting pram! I might commission my own design. I mean, how hard can it be to get a pushchair that faces both ways, lies completely flat, has a big shopping basket, one hand folds, doesn't scrape any bits on the floor when opening or closing, looks snazzy, has a raincover that you can access the baby with out removing the sodding thing, umbrella folds, and is light. Oh, and comfy. I don't think I'm asking too much. Grin

Just been perusing the Gravo Evo in Chilli. Problem is, Mothercare didn't have one in on display when I went last week. I will not buy anything with out trying Oscar in it!

We tried a Sola in Pramworld today that Oscar vommed in and it was nice, but didn't tick all my boxes :( Disliked having to remove the seat to get it folded flat if it was rear facing. Also it scraped on the floor scratching bits when unfolding. Was much heavier than the pushchair I already have too. Oh, and not to mention Oscar looked like a friggin' chubber in it. Gawd only knows why, he looked like a blubber baby. Confused

Stupid prams.

I like the look of this, but its for 6 months plus. And doesn't recline. And doesn't rear face. But it looks good enough to eat! Grin

TheDetective · 06/02/2013 21:16

VQ You bugger!

ValiumQueen · 06/02/2013 21:16

Never too late blonder
