A bubble party. Get in. I'm on it!

It takes me so freakin' long trying to catch up on here at the minute! Ack. I just have no idea what I want to say by the time I have finished!

Oh, VQ yes. I have noticed, you have to diagnose your own child, and then go and tell the GP the problem. They then ask what do you want. And you say I want x y and z. Hmm I'm not sure it is supposed to work that way.

I am nervous but glad I have O's appointment tomorrow. I have saved my thread so I have reminders and something to refer to.

O started fussing with his bottles today again. Taking 4oz with feeds mostly.

I have also noticed that he will no longer take his feeds at room temp (nightmares about being on the staydown perhaps?!). They need to be warm. Damn it.

Our news today is that O has rejected the dummy. He will not have one any more. He doesn't seem to need one either. If I try and put it in, he pushes it out, or he sucks for 2 seconds and spits it out. He is napping/sleeping without it, just wanting a soft blanket and white noise (if we are out, he gives not one shit he will sleep in and on anything!).

Not yet 4 months, and weaned off the dummy. Hmm

DS1 required surgery to remove his 26 million dummies from him. At 2.

Got my smear reminder today. Joy.

Hmm

Also, sneaking in late, but Next have just fucked off one loyal for baby clothes anyway! customer. I returned a set of baby grows, where one had bobbled to fuck, not been washed, just worn. The entire back looked like velcro had been ripped off it.

Because I bought them 2 months ago they refused initially til I assertively pushed the point to refund me. They could not swap them as they did not have the same ones. They would only offer me a gift card.

Now, I had my receipt, they were faulty, and I should be entitled to a refund surely? They are saying that they will no longer refund faulty goods after 35 days.

Well, I often buy stuff in advance for O from there, so it might not be worn for a couple of months.

I'm sick of shops who previously refunded faulty items with no quibble, suddenly starting to be total cuntwankers over things. It is getting right on my tits. Looking at you also TescoTwatFaces.

A Mothercare employee told me today while I spent the refund in M'care instead of nobbers Next! that they do not employ such a policy. If clothes from there don't wash or wear well, they will refund no problem.

I'm thankful I just stuffed some toast in my mouth because she's awake. Again

TheDetective · 21/03/2013 00:45

Awake here too. Sent DP in with tools. It is not working...

May have to go in waaaaaah!

LuisGarcia · 21/03/2013 00:46

Give him time if you can

LuisGarcia · 21/03/2013 00:48

Fuck me they're both awake

LuisGarcia · 21/03/2013 00:51

I'm thankful my children have lungs

TheDetective · 21/03/2013 01:03

He needed a shit Hmm. I 'had' to take over. O has decided 1am is feed time. Fuckflaps. 3 nights of pretty much sleeping through. And now, back to square one.

Though I did say he fed badly today. Should have known. Hmm He's fussing again now.

Give me fucking drugs strength. I can't be doing with all that shit again.

LuisGarcia · 21/03/2013 01:06

And now, back to square one.

Nope. Now you know O can do it. This is just a blip

TheDetective · 21/03/2013 01:07

That was DP needed a shit. Not Oscar.

LuisGarcia · 21/03/2013 01:08

I wasn't judging either of them

TheDetective · 21/03/2013 01:08

Blippidy friggin blip. Waaaaah!!!!

He's going nuts at the bottle :( fucking arse crimpers. I can not do all this again :(

TheDetective · 21/03/2013 01:09

That raised a Grin

LuisGarcia · 21/03/2013 01:12

And you won't. Now you know O can do better you can work out how to help him.

Tomorrow.

Not now.

TheDetective · 21/03/2013 01:14

I am thankful for...

Actually i don't know. Dps depressed (upped his meds a couple of days ago and he feels like shit) and i feel guilty.

LuisGarcia · 21/03/2013 01:50

Why do you feel guilty?

LuisGarcia · 21/03/2013 02:00

I'm thankful that thedetectives sleepy magic failed on L and me and therefore someone else gets it.

LuisGarcia · 21/03/2013 02:19

Ooh, pringles

LuisGarcia · 21/03/2013 02:43

Someone at least biscuit me?

ValiumQueen · 21/03/2013 02:56

I am thankful for luis as he is funny :-)

I am thankful for J sleeping 4 hours.

I am thankful for baby clinic today as J has a proper wheeze going on.

I am thankful my car is fixed and my parents can lend me six hundred fucking quid to fix it.

I am thankful the girls are asleep.

I am thankful I have one good leg.

I am thankful for this quiche as, without it, I would still not know what is wrong with my baby, and would have probably throttled DH months ago.
