Shiny new thread with no listing fees!

Have just finished it cheers Mopsy!
It's the hand dryers that are the worst- it so upsets him and I feel awful that I have to put him through it whilst he screams and cries.

So, anyone got anything nice planned for the week/Easter? Sounds like iZombie has got lots of lovely things on with the DCs, and bet aethel will be doing similar
I've got work as per, but after having no social life whatsover for so long, I have a work leaving do on Wednesday, a friend's 'Just Divorced' pub crawl on Thursday (with bloody flashing sashes/L-plates, etc, my idea of hell but going along to be supportive) and then off to see best mate in Norfolk on the Friday!

Am here too been on boy duty all day since dh been out and have been without car......DS surprisingly good just waiting for my mum to arrive from airport. DS staying home from cm tomorrow so she can have gp time.

DS hasnt had a poo at all today and only small ones since Thursday I think he may explode tomorrow

Qoc and oi I'm on same cycle as you but still no chance of TTC here, not in a hurry though

Going dahn sahf to see MIL bit also meeting up with all my husband's friends who live, variously, in Norway, Oz and Cornwall and we all have littles now. Can't wait! I say husband's friends but all my friends too now of course, so it will be fab! I need to find a day to finish my article revisions also (less fun).

Anyone else have any plans? Sounds like a bit of fun in store for you Northern (although am SO with you on the tack uggghhh), hope you enjoy it, you sound like you deserve a break BIG time!

Did I mention that husband and mil had both got me Sanctuary spa vouchers for my bday in Feb? Going to go for a whole day and have two treatments as well. I can't wait!

Oooh, of the spa vouchers mopsy, that sounds wonderful. You deserve a break yourself, there's probably a lot of viva-tension that needs kneading out of your shoulders!

A divorce party?!?!
A "congratulate me because I married someone, but it didn't work out, and now we're splitting our assets and fighting it out, and sharing the kids - and wearing a sash!" Party. Nice!
Good luck!

I'm here.

A divorce party sounds weird.

Mopsy have fun at the spa

My Little Lady Sky has had one side of her bed taken off. Duvet & Pillow put on and is fast asleep. My baby is growing to fast :(

Oh that's gross Northern! Exploding nappies are the one thing guaranteed to stress me out! DS hates the hand dryers too! He's also scared of Henry the Hoover and my hair dryer...not sure why, he used to fall asleep to the sound of them!

The divorce party sounds like a good excuse for a night out!

We have DM coming to visit for Easter - I can't wait! She hasn't seen DS since Xmas, and he took his first steps just after she'd left.

I can understand the relief of a divorce at the end of a bad marriage, but a party sound too tacky for words. A friend got herself an awesome cake when her decree came through, the kind of thing her ex husband would have ranted and raved about telling her she was wrong etc. It was like an act of refined and sweet rebellion. Tasted good too:o

My back hurts. I am fed up of taking painkillers, it's been about two months now. I may have to return to the medicin and agree to physioterrorism:(

Forgot to say:

Listen vairy carefully, I shall say zis only vunce: 'tis I, LMF

northernthat does indeed sound traumatic!

I think our easter plans are very likely to change. For the last 2 easters we have been camping(we have an old trailer tent). Last year we camped locally and freya and I came home in the evenings as it was cold but we had 3 sunny days. The year before we had beautiful shorts and tshirts weather in the lakes. On the one nice day a few weeks ago we booked a site in devon - unless it warms up dramatically this week (highly unlikely) we wont be going. Which is a shame as would be good to have a break and we had to pay upfront so will lose the money.

I tend to keep mine in cots as long as possible (ie till they climb out). DS only went into a bed at 2 and a half,but our cot doesn't convert so it is into a proper bed.

We took ds to the skate park yesterday for the first time (he is 4) on his balance bike - he loved it.We went early sunday morning so it was not full of teenagers and he only went on the little slopes but actually it is really nice as the bigger kids are very accepting of the little ones being there - the kids round here are generally pretty nice and failry innocent. I then took him to the cinema in the afternoon to see The croods. Again first time he has been so he was very excited, though ended up sitting on my lap as he got a bit scared at one point. (It is a good film and not at all scary really but he is a bit sensitive!)

queen you're brave, I think DD would be out of her bed within seconds!

jiggle sounds like a lovely day.

A divorce party does indeed sound truly hideous. I thought congratulations on your divorce cards were bad enough!

We bought carpet for the baby's room yesterday. DH will fit it on weds and build the new furniture in there, so exciting. Worktops for the new kitchen are arriving this afternoon so we're slowly getting there.

I'm having a wobble about being a mum of 3! Someone please reassure me I'll cope with a crazy 17mo who still doesn't bloody sleep and a newborn!

We survived the whole night in bed. Sky got up & started trashing playing in her room at 7am

Two to three is easier than one to two Seven. You already know the drill, you know how more than one works and you already have enough cunning contingency plans to suit most circumstances. 'twill be fine:o

Yep, three is - how do I put it- "endless fun", but as Zombie says, the juggling has been done before so it's not too much of a stretch, you just have to lower your standards a little :) you'll be fine :)
The seventeen month gap thing I can't advise on really as there is 23 mothhs between my big two, but I expect that (like with any new baby) it will Be damn hard work for the first four-six months and then get a lot easier. Hope that doesn't sound too doom-monger!

I just made fairy buns, anyone want one?

Oh yes please. Throw one thisaway!

There's no way BOi could sleep in an open bed. He's constantly twirling about, he'd be bouncing off the floor in no time.
But in positive bedtime news, he slept through last night!

I'm not sure about our Easter plans. DH has been asked to work on Good Friday, so I may work from home too and swap my day off - we're paying for the cm so we may as well use her. However, if the weather is nice, I may be tempted to climb Rivington Pike with him. (A tradition, the whole town and round-abouts climb the hill, from religious background - as Jeebers climbed the hill carrying a cross. Hundreds still turn out every year for the burger vans and candy floss stalls at the top.) it'll be hard going with him, -it's a big hill - but I think he could do it, and we'd get close to the new lambs, which he'll love.

Obviously, I don't think Jeebers climbed our particular hill,...

I've just booked a mini break - 2 nights in a boutique b&b on the welsh coast in May.

I really do hope DS gets over this 5.40 waking nonsense

DP sent a pic of him in the chair at home, and my baby is no more, he looks such a little boy now it's weird; I've only just gotten my head around the fact that I have a baby without now having to get my head around having a boy-child!

Still jealous of his apparent preference for DP, but he gets longer with him each day...

The party will indeed be tacky; it's her second divorce, and she did this last time too when she just had one kid. Second husband was gay and has multiple addiction issues as well not suitable, so now there are three kids also having fun... She has ishoos too, so am not judging at all, it's just sad.

Having three sounds great seven, and you'll love it! And your DS sounds such a sweetie, I can really picture you at the skate park and cinema

That sounds like a lovely plan Oi, I'd go for it.

Will be catching up with a friend who's TTC #1 at the moment, hope she's got good news...

You can grab a bun from my profile:o

Right, have shoved a few pictures up. Buns and evil children. Night all!

Mmmm fairy buns.

Oi that sounds like a trek n half!

We have decided to put TTC off now for a few months as we don't want another Xmas/new year baby and don't want another Easter baby so going to wait to TTC a summer baby. Hopefully won't take as long as it has this last few months :(

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! So cute iZombie, so cute! Will wait and show DP the pizza one, he'll love it
