How is every one?
This week has been much better than last, except for the parrot incident oh and the car trouble resulting in minor burns.
What lovely weather at last!
Happy birthday to all who I missed!
I really wish I had know about nm when I was pg, I thing it would of really helped me. I might just look up that old thread eastyorksmum, I had a quick labour 2, 3 and a half hours. Every one said second babies delivered faster but I didn’t believe them.
dd took her first steps yesterday :)
and has now got 11 teeth
is all the June babies going to have there MMR? i waited untill my dd1 was 2 to have hers, just wondering about weather to do the same this time or not
we have thought of a name for our new cat
Waite for it don’t laugh
soren lorenson
we are going to pick him up on Sunday after we get back from our camping trip
any way ill shut up now
take care every one :)

hello alltook the day off, sort of working from home since still on call but hey its not the office. back tomorroe and work through weekend. have next week off

lua - agua! i like it what are you doing to them? is it a plea? is it on account of the draught?
dd of course does not speak much as such but is forever repeating what we say, sometimes clearer than others, must clean up my act really

bresha - love the cake mine is rather lopsidedgreat name for cat will the kids friend believe they have a real cat?
MMR well would like to wait a bit longer lets see..

eym - great about solo bus trip i know it can be hard.

2happy - put sign outside baby asleep do not disturb then use violence if they don't perfectly justified imo.

very very about all those short labours mine went on for a couple of days because she was back to back. think i will spend every spare moment of next pregnancy on all fours oh the pain!

hello all others too hope you are well

seem to have lost the ability to spell or use punctuation i blame texting

This cake thing. Are we being competitive mummies about the making of cakes? I mean, it's not like they will even remember, yes?

sfx - ditto back to back rubbish labour, went in Thurs afternoon, had him sat evening! I'm hoping for one of those mythical easier second labours, like Bresha! And I like the front door/violence idea
Trib - if ds is lucky I might do a carrot cake - I have a ridiculously easy shove a bunch of stuff in a bowl, mix, bung in oven recipe. And that's it. And that's not 100% due to morning sickness either
EYM - congrats on bus! And does ds like his shoes?

2Happy, ridiculously easy in my book is: Someone else arrives with a cake. Anything else is hard work, even going to M&S to buy one

and EYM, well done you on the bus journey! Next stop space shuttle!

trib dear M&S deliver

dh saw some school uniform in town and decided there and then thats the school dd is attendingthis SAHD thing is getting to his head or maybe its the heat on his fair scottish head!

Not here, sfx! This is the grim north, we actually have to go to M&S to fetch our cakes! (You can pre-order).

Trib-no cake making here I'm afraid.I've ordered Oscar's cake from a shop.Wish I was clever enough to make my own-it's costing a fortune!

no deliveryoh dear terrible violation of human rights!!!

Trib - we had the rediculously easy option - mum brought around her cake - she's a sugarpaste queen and has done some ab fab cakes for all our special occassions...

P.S. Katz if you still message Scraggy wish her DD a very happy birthday for tomorrow

Happy Birthday baby scraggy

I 'spoke' to scraggy the other day and she's hoping to come to London zoo

Oh fab, it'll be nice to see her again, and what are you doing up at un godly times I thought I was early coming on at this time!

dd2 woke up at 5.30am!

Urgh Katz, ds was up at 5:45, what are our babies trying to do to us? (I can't MN until he has safely gone back to sleep though as he demands attention every waking moment, unless offered a roll of kitchen paper to unravel and throw around the room - which I can't do every day obviously!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY SCRAGGY and hope to see you at London Zoo!

Tea, impressed with your lack of devotion to cake-making, but ds won't see either of his grannies on his birthday, and my mum doesn't do cake making anyway. My MIL favours the "no wheat no dairy no sugar no fat" school of cake-making - yes, you may well wonder what that leaves to make a cake from - let's put it this way, M&S are not afraid of the competition, even if they don't deliver

I think he might get some celebratory ice cream instead of a cake. Yes, my musings on this subject are finished. Green and Blacks organic choc icecream it shall be! Given how long it takes to defrost enough to eat, no probs with putting a candle in either :)

Good morning every one, hope all is ok,
My dd woke up at 2 last night but went back to sleep, thank heavens, she dose it once a week for no real reason,
am sorry, I didn’t mean to start a cake war, ever since I gave up my job iv been looking for a hobby of sorts, and I found I love cake decorating. Really sad I know
and there is no M&S near me
kids don’t really care what a cake looks like, just as long as they can eat it!
My dd loves to unravel kitchen paper 2.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY SCRAGGY
Wow teebelly a sugarpaste queen, has she got any tips shed like to share?
If off camping this weekend, hope I survive, my toe has de swelled after the incident last weekend but it still hurts
I am really looking forward to picking up soren lorenson on Sunday, il post a pick of him, he is so cute
Take care every one xxxxxx

Bresha my mum could bore you rigid on the subject of cake making/decorating and sugar paste (can you guess it's not really my thing ) so I wouldn't ask her anything unless you really want to know as once asked it's difficult to shut her up - but I do have to say her cakes are brill...Darlek for ds, Spongebob for dh, Batman and tweenies for friends...no surprise ds has requested a dinosaur for next week!

hello, did our junies synchronise? mine was up at 5.45 too

bresha hope you have a nice break tents always bring to mind images of muddy Fields bad booze and music somewhere around. must investigate the family friendly version.

green&blacks ice cream! yes i think it will be a suitable present for fathers daddy

or day even

Well ds wasn't up at 5.45, but maybe that's because he didn't go to sleep until after midnight ! I think it's the heat - am I the only one hoping for a break in the weather?!

2Happy - no you're not alone - dd's routine has been shot to pieces over the last few nights - hot weather combined with bad teething pains has resulted in a child not sleeping (average 6 hours per night - night = 7pm - 7am) and child not drinking milk or eating much food (mind you she certainly won't waste away from not food for a day or two ) - still it will get better - and if no the wine helps dull our pain, hic!

uh oh , 'no' = 'not' - I see the wine's helping already

Nightmare on the cake front here. DS1 and I did make a cake for DS2 today. Cake turned out fine but then had nightmare morning with two hot and stroppy children so never got round to decorating it. Had a mini party this morning for DS2, who fell asleep straight after his lunch, without eating the cake. It's STILL in the tin, dried out and revolting after being in the sun all day.

Anyone want some?

Happy birthday Baby Scraggy.

Ugh, curse this hot weather. Ds went down okay at 7:30, by 8:30 was awake and crying again because his room was like an oven.

Reluctantly moved him back into our room, he made his feelings on the subject of going into the travel cot abundantly clear so I put him on our bed surrounded by pillow. Sure enough he fell out of bed in the night (unharmed) so I got no sleep after that. The first plane of the day coming in to land woke him at 6:15, arrrggghhhhh.

At least I haven't got to work I suppose! Any tips on how to keep his room cooler? We can't leave the door wide open (it's never shut fully) cos he won't go to sleep then, the room is westward facing (slight advantage in the morning usually!) with thick navy velvet curtains (landlord's!).
