Woohoo Kirrin!!!

Bloody well done you! Hope there is some celebrating tonight!!
O is trying to sabotage this message! Gaaaah babies flailing limbs and iPhones bad combo!!

PR Like what you said to DM fuckwit!!

pr I've used them 3/4 times before - even for our wedding - our theme was sweets so we had foam shrimp, milk teeth, rhubarb & custard tables and candy necklaces for napkin rings and love heart favours. I think they're reasonably priced where some of the olde sweet shops are extortionate!!!

vq summer camp?? Do you mean an actual meet up whilst camping kind a thing?? Sounds ace - as long as in August!!! Ahhhhh the laughter the kids playing, the wine flowing.....

Summer camp: we have a 10 man teepee

Ha Det L tries to swipe my phone too! Flings his arm back and clicks on Active Convos mostly. Today he grabbed my biro as well, think he is keen to communicate with the world.

Well done Kirrin that's great news. Congratulations, do a little dance just for N!

Sorry to MM, that rash sounds horrid. Also to Pass and all the others with poorly babies.

Thanks for the love Sophia, we had a slightly better night so today felt easier apart from having a row with my mum - she wants me to increase the amount of formula I am giving and keeps making snide comments via the baby iyswim so I said I felt really undermined and please could she trust me. This went back and forth and she ended up going off in a huff, "well call me when you need something!". So I was a bit upset. Anyway had L weighed and he has put on another 1/2lb so moving up towards the next centile, so I think we're doing ok weight-wise. I texted a nice friendly message to let her know (resisting the urge to be arsey) but no reply yet.

River strokes my tablet while I am trying use it and presses the screenshot icon. Every time!

Well done kirrin. Poor M MM. Hope it clears up soon.

Thanks for all the comments about my friends stupid comment. Sometimes l worry sleep deprivation is making me into a grumpy paranoid cow a bit over sensitive, so glad to know l?m not on this occasion.

Really pleaased today ~ got myself and all 3 dcs to MOSI (Science and Industry museum in Manchester) on public transport with picnic and had fab day. First time I?ve taken all 3 into Manchester on my own. Really tired now though.

He keeps clicking the back arrow, even when feeding! Monkey! Was trying to reply to important car selling text earlier and he was at his technological sabotaging best!

He's just gone to sleep. Will this be a nap? Or is it him til his next bottle then down for the night?! Time will tell!

We've just sung endless rounds of the wheels on the bus, nick nack paddy whack, row row row your boat et al. I'm all nursery rhymed out! O loved it! The more actions he got to do the better!

My personal favourite row row row your boat, gently down the stream, if you see your daddy's bum, don't forget to scream.

My healthy eating is still going reasonably well. I'm quite proud of myself. I will get back to yummy mummy! I'm not weighing. I'm going on clothes size. I don't want to get hung up on lbs and stones.

Bloody men. DP just decided to take car out for a spin to warm it up for the ppl coming to view it. Only they got here early. I had a sleeping baby in arms and nowhere to put him down, dog going mental, had to try and drag her down stairs (big lab!) while holding said baby under one arm!

Then let the poor guy in who came to look!

Fucksake! O has managed to stay asleep despite the above .

Why does my dog sound like a bloodhound if anyone cat dares step foot on our land!! She's the softest most undog like dog I've known! The barking at door knocks is the one thing that gives her away as being a dog. That and the hairs...

Well done detective - a good friend of mine took the same approach, and weighted herself after 7 weeks of eating better and doing some walking, and found she had lost over a stone. Whenever she's tried to lose weight before, she got so hung up on weighing herself every week, she would get so demotivated on the weeks she didn't lose much, that in the end she gave up.

Our cat thinks he's a dog. He jumps up at the postman, and drags the post through the letterbox and under a rug.

Celebrating 2 new clients with a takeaway! I had only planned on keeping my original one on (2 hours a week) but another 5hrs will really rewlly help. And at £30 an hour not to be sniffed at! I hate hate hate the idea of leaving M but needs fucking student overdraft and dying car must. I dont know how i can keep bfing though. Going to introduce a bottle of ebm. I can take her with me to one client. Will need to negotiate with others although my sister is desperate to do a bit of babysitting and I can mostly work around dp.

DD1 is a proficient user and thief of ipad and iphone. Beware, they sus them out young!

Detective are you referring to my Daily Mail journalist baiting? I'm keeping it in active. My blog is VERY anti Daily Mail :)

I certainly am PR! Will go and read your subsequent posts then!

Car is GONE! Got more than we paid for it.

It brushed up well in the end. And we've fixed most of the problems so.... Someone should get a good car if they actually look after it. Unlike DP.

Mum gets her new car tomorrow. Jolly good timing! We only sold it now because we didn't want to have to tax it at the end of the month! Was expecting to be one car less for a couple of weeks!

£30 an hour?! How can one earn £30 an hour. I need secrets! I earn £14 an hour saving lives and catching babies!

Clearly in wrong profession!

Grr can't believe she asked the question last Wednesday and no-one picked up on it. There are plenty of very scathong answers on that thread now

When I was a coach my company billed up to 400 euros an hour for my time. I got 25

What is the thread PR?

Hi all, I've still not caught up with the thread.
This morning I could have killed DP as he told me that N needed feeding, as he already tired the dummy, twice! Gr.. Oh and I need to get to bed earlier! As he has only been in bed since 3am.

It been a wonderful sunny day, and N and I have been out for a walk. I think I should have added another layer as I met someone on our walk and spent 3 hours out.

Right off to wash the bottles then, bed.

If you go into the topic called Media and non member requests it's up at the top Blonder

i have actually emailed journos in there with quotes on condition that they are not writing for the DM.

I'm thinking of taking my boys (10 and 6yo) into Manchester on Wednesday or Thursday Daisy. Any recommendations on where to go please?

Stunt we like the Manchester Art Gallery on Mosley St ~ there is an interactive gallery and story bags (not sure if they?d be a little old for that). I think they?ve got some sort of special activity involving microscopes on each afternoon this week. Best of all, it?s 2 mins walk from the all~you~can eat buffets in China town

My dcs love the Manchester museum on Oxford Rd as it has a t~rex and other dino fossils and some live luzards. Personally l am not keen as there are lots of stuffed animals and it gets very busy. I have heard the Whitworth Gallery is good, but never been as it is quite far out.

MOSI (off Deansgate) is good. They have some Victorian fair rides at the moment (but you have to pay for them). My dcs love the steam engines and airplanes.

l believe there is a national football museum in the urbis building near the cathedral too, but can?t say l?ve ever made any effort to go there (tho it is near the Printworks which has places like nandos to eat and a cinema). Hope that helps!

That's a fantastic thread PR. Good for you. Don't think that was quite what she was looking for!

Nah I think she should have gone to Netmums.

Bad PR. Naughty PR.

Yeah well the buggers don't answer emails. So coming in here was like a red rag to a (bored) bull.
