just looked at the trunking woof that is expensive! how do you attach? I have gorgeous big skirting boards ...must sleep now ...keep forgetting dd been up at 5 like clock work.
think dh is finding me aswell as dd very tiring ...not even eaten very much tonight and he didn't seem to care but then again I'm not a child and can feed myself! or should be able too!
he is off for a stag doo all weekend!

I didn't mean the "more items to consider" adverts at the top of that page!!

It's about £2 per metre

ahh oops sorry I'm very... tired ! dd is back up after one hours kip!
was going to post more than this but brain dying it really hurts...
think that's why its hard at the mo
a) it was supposed to be better after 12 weeks I think maybe my expectations were too high
b) at least when they are newborn they just sleep poop cry and look round a bit not constantly demanding to be entertained like now! ... although that is the good bit too!

asked dh to fetch me paracetamol 5 mins ago not sure why its taken him soo long!

It gets better. J was ferocious for a long time. tbh honest I don't know where this 12 week thing comes from... they can't read calenders and they haven't read the books / websites you have. Even J got better eventually.

Pass excellent summary

:o at Cat's turrets

VQ boo about the car and the cold, but thanks for the laugh about willies.

Detective I have an impossible to block off open plan house am dreading having two little darlings running round

Chasing if ever you needed confirmation that your ex is a cunt you now have it. He is talking bullshit - what a bastardy attempt to manipulate you. You need to contact your GP, woman's aid for advice and get your HV to pick you up, put you on your feet and push you in the direction of groups, homestart, surestart or whatever else there is to get you out, helped etc whatever can be done in real life to support you. Your ex is NOT going to bully you anymore. Twat! And it's too soon for overnights so he can fuck right off that one.

Third 1am feed in a row, along with paracetamol. Still can't work out what's bothering LO so she needs the pain relief though.

Oh well, gives me a chance to catch up.

I am awake and try to write a 2000 word assignment due at lunch time. I have not read the course material (only skimmed) and I have no idea what it is about. WAs thinking about pulling out of the course but I did that last year and I really really can't afford postponing another year. So here I am, hoping that O will sleep till 7. I will be useless today, I know that. My own fault.

As for babyproofing, I will put a childlock on the cleaning cupboard once we move. We will live in a flat so no need for stairgates, I am more worried about cables and plugs and sharp furniture edges and all sort of things.

Woah the trolls I mentioned earlier are now saying they are a group sworn to bring down mumsnet due to the fact it is anti-male propaganda! ... trust no one!,... one of the posts is called WTAF where peeps were talking bout them and they came on!

What are you studying Lily ?

Just as I was about to put her back in her cot there was a rumble and a grumble and a huge fick-you-mummy-you-ain't-going-nowhere-just-yet poo. Thanks LO.

Oh nothing spells fun like a bunch of MRA trolls. Sad bastards.

Luis knows we aren't anti male.

It's true

think we are lucky not to have had them on here ... if they could work mn you would think they would just go through most active!

we are anti-male (certain one ) but not anti-males!

going for the transfer ... wish me luck!

They'll be targeting the feminism boards. Twats. Right, LO chortling in bed. Night all :)

For anyone struggling esp with first ones.... I took J to the supermarket today. I let him run around rather than have him in the trolley, for the first time. He's 2 1/2. He's put me us through hell sleepwise for 2 1/2 years. He was flipping hilarious, running round telling me all kinds of comedy stories about products he could see. Mostly this was through signing at me, because he can't talk (don't ask).

The hardest, most ferociously awful times are worth it.

I'm doing an open degree, wanted to do Early Years but I guess the open degree will be more useful. Currently study child development (ed209). This is my 4th course with OU, I have to say it's a completely different experience from first time round (did Economics before).

And the insomnia kicks in. Everyone else snoring happily.

Sounds interesting. I did a few OU modules years ago. Never finished the degree though.

You're right Luis they are worth it. I can't believe how fast the last two years have gone, and LO is 5 months old today already and already so many precious memories.

Hello 2 a.m. looks like I have over 200 posts to read!

I've had three hours sleep between feeds! Not great but better than some. I don't think I'll get caught up tonight somehow though as I'm very tired.

I'm here! Taken me an hour to catch up and forgotten everything.

Chasing no advice to add, just huge hugs xxx

Turrets made me

What happened to our 5 hours?! Going to try to transfer, hope we don't have a repeat of last night

I'm still awake.

I'm so jelous of detecivea self settlement baby,

The turrets, made me chuckle.

Chasing- oh your P, needs his arse handed to him. I second the pitch forks.

What's this about trolls?

Yay he's asleep.
Evil

3 hours then 2.5 hours. Not too bad. Still so tired.
