Yellow they can be very addictive. I've seen alot I'd like, but I can't choose one. My friend has a sleeve, and it's stunning. I'm not brave enough to have one that big.

Yes YW we had one of those days too. Rare, but lovely. Where I think I've got the hang of this parenting thing.

Tomorrow, I am alone with the two. Of course, that will be time it all goes tits up. Confused

I am trying to have a bath with O before his bedtime. It isn't going well. The boiler just told me to fuck off. Hmm Shock

pass Don't worry, when you are in the thick of it, it is very very hard to see the wood for the trees. I frequently have to write down what is happening, and take on others suggestions, which often give the solution.

Pidj It will all get easier. DH will get healthier and fitter, babypidj will get older, and life will not stay this hard. Finances will get better. And the weather will soon fuck off. Sorry if this misses the point completely. I don't want to ignore.

No tattoos here. DP has one, on his shoulder blade. A small one. A black and red star type thing. I think. I can't remember! He forgets he even has it!

TheDetective · 29/03/2013 20:45

Oscar has enjoyed his bumbo for the first time today! His control is much improved! He sat joining in the games in the end!

What has happened to bed time?? She used to go to sleep at 7.30, and that was it til 4am. Now? No chance. Still wide awake. Total sleep dodger. And she'll be up again at 12. Or 2. Sad where's the receipt?

Evilwater · 29/03/2013 21:05

Nom nom and thrice nom 80% cocoa Ecuadorian dark chocolate (dairy and soy free!) and reserve rioja.

Pidj is there anything the quiche can do to help? Do you have any RL support? Please just ask x

kirrinIsland · 29/03/2013 21:17

((hugs)) pidj

N is starting to like her bumbo too, but only for very short periods.
She has had a very clingy day today, I haven't been able to put her down for a minute.

I have no tattoos. I quite like them but I'm so fickle that I don't trust myself to pick something that i will still like in a couple of weeks, never mind forever!

ValiumQueen · 29/03/2013 22:06

J seems to be waking hourly tonight. Up twice already. We all have bugs so no doubt he has a variant. He is dropping off with a boob, and fairly quickly so not too bad I think. I hope.

Hope everyone has good nights x

ValiumQueen · 29/03/2013 22:07

I have tattoos. I listed them on FB. Will list again at night feed. Piercings anyone?

YellowWellies · 29/03/2013 22:16

I've got a nose ring.

itsnotyouitsMeals · 29/03/2013 22:19

No tats here but DH has a mountain biking sheep! Driving to see PiLs oop north so two slumbering girls in back of car.

Hugs pidj. You have so much to cope with but like det says, it will get easier. Talk if it helps.

Choc sounds yum yw. Did I mention booja booja before? The ice cream is amazing.

Hello everyone else. Mx

TheDetective · 29/03/2013 22:33

I've got a nose piercing. I'd of had more. But quite frankly, I've deduced I'm a wuss, and it hurt like shitting hell. Never again.

I'd of loved my lip done. Shame.

TheDetective · 29/03/2013 22:34

I got the nose done 3 years ago at aged 24. Not as a teenager! Grin

itsnotyouitsMeals · 29/03/2013 22:35

Also I have no piercings. Not even my ears. I know that's odd.

itsnotyouitsMeals · 29/03/2013 22:41

Oh God det I'm 11 years older than you.

StuntNun · 29/03/2013 22:42

No tattoos and only one piercing in each ear. How boring, eh? I would have loved an eyebrow piercing, nose piercing, tattoo of elephants on my left upper arm and a rose on the sole of my foot at the very least but after a nasty keloid on one ear I was advised to avoid piercings and tattoos.

DH is taking the night shift tonight probably due to my increasingly unstable mental state so I may get a good night's sleep tonight. I'm not holding my breath though given that DS2 has already been up three times. Apparently every time he tries to sleep he dreams about bad things. No idea why, he hasn't seen anything scary lately afaik. We had to give up on watching Revolution but tbh I didn't think it was that great.

Good luck stunt. Wishing you a long uninterrupted night.

TheDetective · 29/03/2013 22:48

Only 10 Wink I'm 28 now, but had the piercing done just before I hit 25 Grin

Infact, DP held my hand while I screamed fuck, Fuck, FUCK, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK through it! And he wasn't even DP for another month or two after that! Grin

Izzybuzzybuzzybees · 29/03/2013 22:51

J is asleep on me after a smallish feed. Wee pest only fed today at 6am, 12pm, 5.15pm, 9.30 and now!!!

itsnotyouitsMeals · 29/03/2013 22:52

Oh the romance! Clearly a good 'un.

Yeah only 10...am 38. Can't believe it.

itsnotyouitsMeals · 29/03/2013 22:54

Izzy is he gaining weight ok? A friend's DS1 was a five minute feeder. But I know you want him to stop reverse cycling.

TheDetective · 29/03/2013 22:57

It's nice when I think back - we were friends for about 10 months before anything happened I dragged him to my lair and shagged his brains out Grin.

It's funny, I didn't fancy him for ages, although I thought he was nice. I just thought he was too young he was!. Then boom, it just happened. Damn men. He fancied me from the beginning I was after his mate for a while, but he was a fucking cocklodger, so once I got my brain in check and sacked that idea off it was all clear for him to go for me! but said he was too scared to tell me. Wonder why.... no. Really. I wonder. Grin

Izzybuzzybuzzybees · 29/03/2013 23:00

meals he is a monster, 98th centile for weight! He only started this nonsense about two weeks ago and hasn't been weighed since but I can't see it being that much of a problem. It's just so exhausting!! And can't be good for him either. He doesnt nap much at all during the day so I can't even blame that!
