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

I'm with you pikz - can't cope with bigger all sleep much longer. I never manage more than a 2 .hr stretch max and 4 hours spread over the night in total.

Dh came in wired at 10 last night (as I was doing cluster feed #2) banging on about humming from the empty house next door. he's convinced there's a cannabis farm being set up. his friend recently had the house he rents out involved in a multi million pound weed growing bust (recent fb updates include "strange satisfaction throwing 500 cannabis root balls out of top window into skip") and been shunted by insurance (house is ruined) anyway, dh now has next door neighbour in on the theory and is constantly pumping me for info on what I'd heard next door. I pointed out it could be a dehumidifier given the gutters are shot and it's been empty for at least 5 years and has a damp problem.

I know it'll be a midnight conversation tonight.

Evening laarverly ladies (and man)! Been a bit under the weather for the last few days and the babies are being hard work so have been lurking about, trying to keep up wit fred.

Very Envy of so many meet ups. Fear I may have to be the mysterious enigmatic quiche member that no one has ever seen. Maybe I am a figment of my own imagination...? Shock

MadamGazelleIsMyMum · 26/03/2013 20:19

How exciting evil. We need the Exeter IKEA to hurry up and build itself.

I will be in Scotland in September. Climbing a mountain Grin

Passmethecrisps · 26/03/2013 20:21

Oo catbag maybe the quiche is like fight club and you are the Brad Pitt character! Who wants to be Meatloaf?

Passmethecrisps · 26/03/2013 20:22

Oh and I am sorry you are poorly and the kittens are being baby numpties. Hope all is better soon.

Which mountain madame?

itsnotyouitsMeals · 26/03/2013 20:22

pikz clarella hugs. I remember feeling like that with DD1; getting anxious and depressed every evening. This too shall pass.

Catbag · 26/03/2013 20:28

Ha ha, now you see if I really were a figment of my own imagination, I would totally pitch myself as someone as cool as the Pitt character. I really cannot say for certain that I am actually here now Hmm. I have been known to make soap.

Catbag · 26/03/2013 20:30

I did enjoy reading middle-of-the-night rapping from pidj and frowns. Have the tune in my head now Grin

MadamGazelleIsMyMum · 26/03/2013 20:30

Ben Nevis pass

BigPigLittlePig · 26/03/2013 20:33

Is anyone else watching the sleep programme? They still haven't told us where the on/off switch is?

TooManyDicksOnTheDancefloor · 26/03/2013 20:43

I watched fight club last night! I'll be meatloaf " paradise by the dashboard light..."

TooManyDicksOnTheDancefloor · 26/03/2013 20:45

There someone else from Yorkshire now cat, think it's yoko. We may have enough members for a meet soon.

TheDetective · 26/03/2013 20:46

It's the Detective November 12 Quiche Tour this week! I get around...!

It was lovely meeting Brockle and a very gorgeous, calm Envy Y.

O was grumpy.

O has remained grumpy all day. And vomity. Raaaaah. Detective has a headache!!

But I also have an Ikea highchair, to fit in with the Jones' Wink.

Yes PR, You and VQ will be having the pleasure of my company in June Grin. Poor fuckers!.

Thank you for the train Brockle, O has yet to see it due to above grumpiness! Maybe we will manage it tomorrow! He's been attached to me all afternoon. He cried the whole way home. Motorway driving with a whinging baby is not my idea of fun! I'll let you know what he thinks nom nom nom probably as he chews on it!.

TheDetective · 26/03/2013 20:49

Me too Cat!

I love a dodgy rap tune Grin.

TheDetective · 26/03/2013 20:52

I don't know why O has gone grumpy again. I upped his meds. So it can't be that. Confused

Oh, also had him weighed today, and he has made up for the 2 weeks he didn't put much weight on. He's now up to the 50th centile. The lactose free is clearly agreeing with him.

Catbag · 26/03/2013 20:53

Oi yon detective fucker- when's the Magical Detective Tour going to cross paths with me?!

Brockle · 26/03/2013 20:56

my pleasure detective I am sure he will enjoy eating the animals Grin

Y stayed asleep until the school gates when he had a grump at me Smile O was fab and cute, not grumpy Smile

currently being used as a human dummy, oh joy.

Kyzordz · 26/03/2013 20:58

Evening all :) glad some nap dodgers or napping alone dodgers I should say are doing well! E has had one of those 'I won't sleep, you can't make me' type days. We got his pictures done today as he is 20 weeks and also got his passport pics :)

Hope you feel better soon catbag

Erm what else

Sounds like a productive day evil

Hope you have a good night pikz and everyone else :) I am gonna try for an hour before dream feed but if I'm not asleep in 10 mins I'll come back on here read a book or something

kirrinIsland · 26/03/2013 21:09

Evening all :)

bplp operation nap somewhere other than mummy sounds like it's going well. miniVQ seems to be doing well on that score too. All very inspiring - I have been telling N all about it!

sorry about your cats tits Have you tried posting for advice on here? There might be someone with good contacts that can help.

pikz there is no such thing as sleep reserves so it's not surprising to feel the way you do after 4-5 months of shit sleep. I frequently dread night time coming round again - everything seems so much worse at night :( I can take a minor annoyance and turn it into a problem of epic proportions at 3 am when N has been up for 3 hours.

BigPigLittlePig · 26/03/2013 21:14

I'm eating banana custard (sorry chasing), proper comfort food. Then I'm going to read Saturdays paper. Then bed. Definitely bed not MN

TheDetective · 26/03/2013 21:17

I like cold banana custard. Grin

BigPigLittlePig · 26/03/2013 21:18

You wouldn't have any in this house then detective as I would wolf it all down before it had chance to cool! As I have just done

TheDetective · 26/03/2013 21:22

Um. You don't cook it first Grin. I win!! It would be in my belly first!!!

Clarella · 26/03/2013 21:25

thanks itsnot. :)

Ah love reading Saturday's paper post sat! have 5 to catch up on! I ate baked potato in bed in vague hope g would go to sleep earlier than usual but just in case not. nope bang on 10 past 9. even tried earlier bath.

once this tounge has healed and maybe improved and he's off his antibiotics, operation get George to stop cluster feeding and off to bed before 7:30 will begin!!!!!!
