Refresh it. Top right hand corner, the arrow in a circle thingy

BigPigLittlePig · 05/04/2013 17:46

I have a cheap but robust phone, which, luckily for the rest of you, doesn't get the internet - I'd be giving luis a run for his money overnight if it did.

sophia good luck at the GPs
fatima that's really really shit massive understatement - I hope you have the best of luck job-hunting

F has had 60 mins max of sleep this afternoon, 30 mins in the car (en route to buy a dummy) and 30 mins on me after feeding. The dummy was a fail, just made her gag. I thought it would but had to give it a go anyway, just in case that was part of the solution. Tonight, am going to get some gaviscon into her no matter what, and prop the crib up again. The reflux is undeniably playing a part in what's going on - she screams if she lies flat in the day, and smells sour rather than milky.

Ok. Thank you. SorryShock

PetiteRaleuse · 05/04/2013 17:47

I have used my iPhone to actually phone someone about 10 times. In 18 months. And all those times I was in hospital either giving birth to LO or the other time she was in there.

ValiumQueen · 05/04/2013 17:52

My blackberry is looking very forlorn. It never quite recovered from ketchup-gate. Has been driving me insane. Ok, I was half way there already Smile

ValiumQueen · 05/04/2013 18:23

It is an early birthday present as DH had an upgrade. It is a 4S. He has a 5. Grin

MsJupiterJones · 05/04/2013 18:31

L loves my iPhone. A worrying amount, he tries to reach for it & cries if I take it away. I've had to start hiding it. Oops.

There is quite a good free app called Baby View but he seems to prefer the purple scrolliness of MN. Crjdfvhjhef.

ValiumQueen · 05/04/2013 18:40

Any advice about apps would be helpful. Like that feeding one pass. I will have a look at that one JJ thank you.

ValiumQueen · 05/04/2013 18:41

It is not showing bold type. Am I doing something wrong?

MsJupiterJones · 05/04/2013 18:49

The bold hasn't worked on the app for a while, annoyingly. It is showing on the main site though.

I don't ever pay for apps, 49p here and there soon adds up. There are usually free versions. Just type baby feeding into the App Store search field. I have the What to Expect baby app, a white noise app and one called Baby Feeding Log. None of which I use. Amazon, Ebay etc are good if you use them. BBC News app is crap and always stalling so I have a shortcut to the mobile version of their main site.

Chasing second what everyone else says, you NEED to get out. It's hard but will only get harder the longer it goes on. Where will he draw the line? He clearly has not learned. Hugs and safe wishes your way Thanks

Fucking shitbags fatima. What utter arseholes!! Can they do that????

Well M is currently snoozing in her lovely new bugaboo in the back garden while I catch the rest of the evening sun with a cuppa and mumsnet work on the patio. Life is very good right now. Smile

I have a dilemna though. My lovely uncle gave me money for my birthday (which is on Sunday!! Grin ) to "buy a few beers". Little does he know I am still tee total - -unless I can pump enough tomorrow to allow me to have a cheeky cocktail with my meal out-- Do I spend it on a chinese takeaway tonight? Is there something tragic about ordering a takeaway for one? I am craving chinese. DP is at sea until morning Sad

Passmethecrisps · 05/04/2013 19:30

Someone asked about obsessive mummy apps? I'm yer woman!

I paid akshal money for baby log. It has a free trial and if you like it you can port across the data to the paid version. As mentioned there are dozens of apps - many will be free trial then pay. Well worth trying a few to see which you prefer. Some are better at things than others.

BigPigLittlePig · 05/04/2013 19:33

mm DO IT. Then describe for us all - it did used to be foody Friday after all.

chasing has ex-p tried to come back yet?

Passmethecrisps · 05/04/2013 19:41

Bring on the prawn crackers mm!

fruitpastilles · 05/04/2013 19:48

Can you bold on the mumsnet app? I've never tried testing

Passmethecrisps · 05/04/2013 19:48

fatima I am so sorry to hear about your husband's job. Was this on the cards? What a terrible shock.

sophia you have had a day of shit. What happened at lunch or do you no want to go there again? Hope DD1's rash is nothing to be too concerned about.

Well, I had my fanjo appointment today. Lovely doc. She reckons it is in good shape. Epis is well done and well healed and I had good muscle tone. She reckons I just feel very different because I have gone from quite a wee . . . Erm . . . Tight person (sorry luis) to less so. She says it is nothing that some good physio won't sort. Apparently I am much tighter than many women she sees so well done me on my pelvic floor exercises! I am glad there is nothing particularly problematic. Few more squeezes and I should be ship shape.

fruitpastilles · 05/04/2013 19:51

Oh so it does!

mm deffo have a Chinese, I order for 1 when dp is on nights!

pass good news about the fanjo Smile

vq I always search free apps and see what comes up, cuz I'm cheap Grin

Passmethecrisps · 05/04/2013 19:51

Oh hay BP. How's things this evening? Sounds like your day has been really tough. I felt bad for my 'this too shall pass' platitude earlier. I remember being told not to worry because P woul grow out of her reflux by, ooo, 6 months. Every fucking minute is a minute too long with that as far as I am concerned. I promised myself then I wouldn't spout that same trite shite to others. Amazing how quickly you forget!

fruitpastilles · 05/04/2013 19:52

just testing

Passmethecrisps · 05/04/2013 19:54

See, I have a problem with apps and iTunes purchases. I can't seem to accept that anything less than about £1 is actual real money. Actually, if I am honest this is the case with any electronic purchase meaning I get electronic invoices days later for books, musi and apps I have no recollection of buying. I am such a child!

ChasingDaisy · 05/04/2013 19:54

I wish I could just make the break but I can't. Sad. and Angry. at myself. I know that everything you guys have said is 100% true and I know that me and most importantly O, deserve better. So why can't I do it? Like a couple of you said, his good behaviour only lasted 2 weeks - it usually lasts months!

He said he didn't mean to hit me with the bottle - like that matters - he threw it across the room in my direction, what did he think was going to happen?

I have always dreamed of being in a happy relationship, my previous one was unhappy too. I managed to end that one though, even though we owned a house together which we had to sell, so was very difficult. Think the difference was that I had a job then and could afford to move out.

I didn't realise, but I have kind of resigned myself to not having a happy relationship and that this is the way my life is going to be. Nobody is going to want a depressed single mother.

Passmethecrisps · 05/04/2013 19:56

Thank you fruit!

Oh! Do we have pictoors of the meet today? I wanna see luis and Pp!

ValiumQueen · 05/04/2013 19:57

Good news about the fanjo pass

mm order away and tell us all about it. In detail.

katkit great idea about B&B. did you tell DH in advance?

ValiumQueen · 05/04/2013 19:58

pass look after the pennies..... Apt considering your child's name Grin

fruitpastilles · 05/04/2013 20:01

Actually, tell a lie, I paid for the words with friends app totally addicted and I can't stand the adverts.
