PR I know how you feel. Wine I'm so grateful to have our quiche. I say things on here that I don't say to ppl in rl. Also constantly tell ppl in RL "oh I have a friend and they suggested this" referring to advice you have given each other .

Have a great time over here, enjoy all the lovely food and seeing friend and family and quiche members.

Bryzoan · 07/06/2013 23:37

I too refer to quiche wisdom and witticisms as 'a friend says...'.

Have a brilliant trip pr. We'll miss you. I just hope no-one misses you enough to be nice to scroteful p's!

People must think I have a huge plethora of friends Grin. Clever and knowledgeable friends. Grin Grin Grin

I've posted my car seat problem in AIBU if anyone has an opinion!

ChasingDaisy · 07/06/2013 23:44

I can often be found starting sentences with 'I have a friend who...' referring to the quiche. During the friendship chat, a few people mentioned that everyone has their own idea of what a friend is. Well, you all meet my criteria and then some.

I got 30mins sleep before wake up #1. Oh well.

Tonight is gonna be shite. Tonight is gonna be shite. Can u turn that into a song do you think?

BigPigLittlePig · 07/06/2013 23:56

I'll write the chorus for you izzy

ChasingDaisy · 07/06/2013 23:59

I'll play tambourine. I'm sure between the night crew we can get a good rendition going.

LuisGarcia · 08/06/2013 00:01

Tonight is shite completely
You give your snot so sweetly
Tonight the light of the landing is in your eyes
But will you let me sleep tomorrow?

Is this a lasting virus
Or just a moment's waking?
Can I believe the magic of your selfsettling?
Or will you let me sleep tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
With both knees that are broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your sleep
Is sleep I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you let me sleep tomorrow?

So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you let me sleep tomorrow?
Will you let me sleep tomorrow?
Will you let me sleep tomorrow?

LuisGarcia · 08/06/2013 00:03

to this tune, obviously

BigPigLittlePig · 08/06/2013 00:04

Nice work sir.

Pringles at the ready?

ChasingDaisy · 08/06/2013 00:05

Take a bow Luis

PetiteRaleuse · 08/06/2013 00:06

Unable to click on the link of course, because, as usual everyone else is asleep, and i don't want to make any noise.

Add some nytol to your list PR! Oh, and cadburys new chocolate with jelly beans and popping candy is awesome - try it Grin.

I am currently craving Munchies and Salt and Vinegar Discos. Together. Sounds odd. But so good. One crisp, one munchie, together, the perfect recipe!

PetiteRaleuse · 08/06/2013 00:15

Sounds good. I'm going to buy several kg of the old fashioned midget gems. Where thevblack one is liquorice. Mmmmmmm.

I don't have links to old freds as freds i'm on disappears after a week. Mght search if I'm in need of nostalgia. After the holidays.

LuisGarcia · 08/06/2013 00:18

Dinner was a success and fun to make, although my unadventurous customers didn't buy the concept of parsnip muffins so I made chocolate lava puddings instead.

No pringles in the house, so pickled onion monster munch are playing tonights supporting role.

ValiumQueen · 08/06/2013 01:00

I was going to moan, but your song cheered me up no end Luis, as did your words on friendship chasing.

Well, I'm gonna fucking moan anyway. Woken by crying baby at 11.45. Baby very cold despite being 22 degrees in his room. Tried to settle with a cuddle, but soon became clear that was not happening. Went to get bottle and boy crying louder and louder. Get back to baby and cot covered in puke and baby hysterical. DH sleeping peacefully. Feed baby, need to change baby and cot. Take baby into DH and ask him to look after him while I get cot changed and clothes together. DH puts hand on baby's head and pats then snores again. Wake DH firmly.

I guess he will never change, but it would be nice to have a bit of consciousness at night from him when I need it.

Anyhoo, wee boy seems to have settled, and DH is snoring so just looking out pointy fucking stick.

Does anyone else have a really cold baby? Today was hot, and when I was giving him a bottle outside I had to wrap him in a blanket. He had shorts and a T shirt on, and we were in the shade, but his legs were blue. And he has still been sleeping in a 2.5 tog bag with a cotton blanket over the top even though it has been 22 deg at night. I think tonight he woke due to being cold as I tried him in a 1 tog. As it is night and I am alone I am now worrying incase he has a heart condition that has been missed. Is that paranoia or possible?

itsnotyouitsMeals · 08/06/2013 01:54

Oh vq. I am not knowledgeable about that sort of thing but just wanted to hand hold as you're up and night fears are horrible. Maybe he just feels the cold? I do. But if you are worried, ask your GP. I know you've not loved your GP but is there a more sympathetic one you could chat to?

Sorry this is rambling. I should go to sleep.

Lily311 · 08/06/2013 03:24

Yes to cold baby. O just woke and I only needed to put a blanket on her. Now snoozing away. It's 22degrees in her room.

StuntNun · 08/06/2013 03:43

Mornin'. J woke early for his 4 a.m. feed. Hmm DH has annoyed me by staying up till 1 playing Xbox. Mr 'I had two nights sleeping in a hotel' better not tell me he's tired tomorrow. Can you tell that I'm jealous? I feel the cumulative sleep loss as a huge sack of rubble that I have to drag behind me everywhere I go. I wish he'd let me get a spare bed to sleep in but there's nowhere to go to get respite.

ChasingDaisy · 08/06/2013 04:04

O woke 20mins ago but self settled just as I was about to go to him. Can't get back to sleep now as convinced he will wake any moment. Not sure if P is home yet.

Clarella · 08/06/2013 04:33

right. I am now certain I need to tackle this and there's no physical issue. literally every hour and half and actually HE can't be arsed to feed. but its quickest way. first time ever started playing in night. he simply can't go vsck to sleep. I'm seeing evidence he can with a cuddle (bed side cot) but I actually woke him just now. Angry naps and quiet estly bedtime helped a lot last 2 nights but Dh came home and cocked it up last night by making it too exciting. Angry and I have a sleep issue too. - I don't appear to need it either. right now, on a couple of hours solid sleep I feel I could go for a run. so thyroid be tested next week and ncss to be implemented too and then make steps towards own room. I just wish he was a podgy baby but he's a slim Jim so I worry about not night feeding but 2 feeds would be an improvement. sorry rubbish at catching up.Sad

Pikz · 08/06/2013 06:42

Clarella and VQ I have no advice but lots of coffee and hugs Brew

VQ I worry the other way that my baby is always boiling!

PR just Grin I never thought an online community would save my sanity again and again. Safe travels and I wish I was at home up norf and I could come see you!

Luis lovely song and the food sounds ace. You have inspired me to get my books out and think up new food.

Brew To all those with shit nights. We had two lots of crying which quickly went luckily and a 5.50am get up.

I have a new cousin born last night 7lb William l! Am very excited to meet him!

Sophiathesnowfairy · 08/06/2013 07:03

I'm so sorry all. I have crashed and burned here and on wwf. There is so much happening at the mo with the move and work and a squillions kids.

I have skim read just today sounds like some of you have sick babies. I think it is a quiche bug. Last night O did not want his bedtime milk. So eventually I popped him down but he moaned and grumbled for a while, it exactly screaming just that moaning and the. You put a foot on the stair, or pop your head in and they are asleep Confused

Anyway I got him up, put him on DHs knee so I could go and clear up the tea things and. VOM. Shock he is never sick. Seems ok this morning. I am going to chuck my the batch of food I made yest and he had for tea though. Justin case.

clarella keep going, they do go in patterns and this could be this weeks theme. You are right to try for quiet time at bed and make sure he hasn't had any naps after about 5ish so he is tired to go down.

pr hope you packing goes well and your journey is...ummmm...quiet Hmm I assume you are ferrying? We usually get a cabin with having a toddler and a baby, is a bit less stressful but I guess that tip is a bit late. Sorry. It on,y just occurred to me you had to cross a ody of water.

Hope all is ok this morning vq . Don't know about the cold thing though I suppose they don't move about as vigorously so are likely to be colder than us or a toddler.

stunt should mr stunt utter a word about tiredness send him to me.
