Any remaining lurkers, would you like to de-lurk and announce yourselves? We won't bite!

Any tips on how to fix the reverse cycling then anyone?!

Yes, i have a friend who irons muslins. I only iron things I'm about to sew, and even then i often make dp do it as he's had many more years of practice. I like jersey tops and am adept at careful draping on clothes horse or line!

PR dp also has an infinitely better clothes and shoe collection to me. I currently have 6 tops i can wear, 4 of which were Christmas presents. My 14 jeans are hanging round my arse but I'm too scared to try my 12s as I'm still nearly 12 stone

I used to love ironing, in fact I used to ask the officers to bring their shirts in and I would take them home to iron. Thankfully I have since got a life.

izzy I would think offering boob every 3 hours in the day? What is the longest he has slept? How are you keeping?

pp thank you. He is chewing it.

pr you mentioned Dexter the other night. We are only up to episode 4 series 7 over here sadly.

I will keep my lips sealed til you have seen the next four episodes then. Much better than I expected though I don't see where they can go from here.

PR how bad do the amoxicillin shats get?

Though now I have noticed the resemblance to my ex I like him far less :(

I can't wait to use the H&M gift vouchers that DH.S gave us for LO.s birth. Can't wait to update my wardrobe. And I hate buying clothes so that shows how rubbish my current collection is.

pikz it's not diarrea as such they are just very regular ie each time she feeds there is a rumble and out they come. I no longer change before feeds I wait til the inevitable shart happens.

Fucking iron. Cleaned out my bank. Arse.

DP has been winding me up ordering his fucking laptop.

Seriously, he is highly irritating when it comes to doing anything involving money or ordering goods or using the internet. Combine all 3, and he is ready to spontaneously combust.

I would like 5 minutes peace. Please.

J has had 3 huge poos in quick succession and is now less grumpy. Thank fuck.

Dexter reminds me of an ex too pr (from Oxford before you panic) and that is why I like him even more than I did. It was you saying that the other week that made me think 'ooh'

Phew!

I'd forgotten how fascinating poos become when weaning starts.

Thanks PR that's what we have here.

I no longer iron anything - this has changed my life!

I have been wearing the same four tops since N was born cos they are easy to BF in. I have debenhams and new look vouchers from Christmas to spend and I can't wait! I am however wearing my normal Jane Norman jeans for the first time since November still have to tuck my belly in though

This week gets better and better...add in teething!

pikz sorry to hear that. All these things shall pass x

DD1 has spent the last 90 minutes puking. Loads of mucous, like in the diarrea earlier in the week. Back to the paed tomorrow then.

will this never fucking well end????

I had a lovely glass of with my roast dinner - YUM!

pr feel free to start sweary Wednesday at any point

PR oh dear I guess the pneumonia has left her extra susceptible to everything. Being at nursery will expose her to everything going. I remember a time with DD1 when she was ill all the time I wondered why I bothered sending her.

bp more details of dinner please....

If you insist vq

Roast duck breasts, roast potatoes - sweet and normal, roast carrots, mangetout, broccoli and cauliflower white and green trees

DH just finishing off a victoria sponge for pudding.

And wine is a rather nice merlot, going down a treat bit too easy tbh

Sweet and normal? Gravy or sauce? Sounds awesome!

Sounds yum.

Well nursery will be over in a week and I think I'm going to take a career break so we can leave illness til school.

I just want one full week with no illness. I'm at the end of my tether it fels relentless.
