Jacob pukes more with the ranitidine but it works for the pain.

Sophia that would make sense as he is the king of wind.

Just sold a playhouse for the garden for £15 more than I paid for it 6 years ago. Not bad VQ. Not bad at all. The girls will not go in it because of the spiders even when I have cleaned it out. Wusses the pair of them.

thanks pidj and other ops (sorry so tired can't read easily)

am going to try ncss ideas and dp is giving me a break for a bit tonight. plus we're trying a bit of formula if he's hungry with dp. my sister is baby sitting for a wedding next wknd and I can't see me pumping enough this week as he takes it all so I feel he needs to be introduced to it. though I feel unable to go to anything let alone 10 hrs at a wedding

operation nap is helping his mood though. shame it's not in cot yet but I'll start that next week.

some of this is my fault when I worried about his kidneys. I just fed as much as possible when ever plus he was being so fussy in the day.

clarella nothing is your fault. You cannot make a BF baby eat if not hungry so he must have wanted it.

you're right izzy . just having a downer as all nct babies sleeping so well.

Are they sleeping well, or are the mums gritting their teeth about how bad it really is? Society's a bastard for pressuring us over what we should be expecting of our children, forgetting that they're all little individuals with wildly different needs and personalities. I hate this homogenisation of children and babies, as if we're all robots rolling off a production line

waves I remember Bertha.....

Bertha lovely Bertha...

(Goes back to feeding E)

I LOVED Bertha!

Today I look like this and it's not because I'm embarrassed.

Here's a lesson for all you ladies. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, wipe factor 50 smeary hands clean on your skin. Fetching tan lines it does not achieve

Blotchy burny bits aside, a nice day here - and the reflux is finally fecking off. Went and sat in the park with a friend who's getting married in a few weeks time, all very exciting to hear about the wedding gossip. Had hoped to cook a nice risotto and light the fire pit, and sit in the garden with dh and a glass of . But the ILs are here soooo....guess that's for another night.

Clarella you must not blame yourself. Some babies are just shit at sleeping. The quiche seems to have amassed a few of these babies. It will get better.

Evening all

Hope you have all had good days.

I ended up awake from 3:30 this morning - not O's fault - he woke at 11.30 and 4.30 - I just couldn't sleep. Managed an hour nap earlier so feel a bit more human now and I have been given tonight off.

We seem to be making slow progress with weaning. A few spoonfuls of porridge and apple puree for breakfast, smushed avocado and carrot and broccoli sticks for dinner. Making AK's lentils tomorrow in an attempt to introduce protein.

Had an Aww moment with O today. Got onto the bus with him screaming as he was overtired. Took him out of his pram and he stood on my lap examining all the different parts of the bus before falling asleep in my arms. Doesnt sound like much but was a proper Mummy-Son moment. Makes it all worthwhile.

Settling myself on the sofa now with chocolate ready for the BGT final.

Bertha? I'm a young 'un

clarella i always tell everyone that o sleeps 7-7 even if she doesn't. I am just not interested how their babies do, what advice they can give me to help her to sleep, blablabla ;-).

Is it the final already? How are the Hungarians doing? Are they in? (The shadow theatre)

Bertha was a machine who could make all sorts.

Although if you want to see the actual machine then it is.

Idiot mummy pig.

The people on it look the same as in postman pat!

chasing I watched the call centre today, wish mine was like that haha! You are right though, it did make me miss work a tiny bit.

Last autumn we swapped our vw camper for my dad's Punto. The van is still in their garden, so today inicked the thermo mats and stuck them to R's bedroom windows. Voila, cool dark(er) room. Fingers crossed vvvdp gets less of an early start tomorrow!

Yep Lily it is the final and I think the Hungarian shadow dancers are the favourites to win. Their last routine had me in years as it was about a mother/son relationship. Sob.

Fruit it doesn't seem particularly representative of call centres that I know Was fun though and made me miss the buzz of being at work.

There were quite a few like that - PP, Bertha, Windy Miller. It's a 70s/80s thing i think, like the manga style they use today :)

Is it by the same people who did Postman Pat? Bertha that is, not the call centre.

According to wiki it was produced by the same people who made Postman Pat and Charlie Chalk.

I loved Poddington Peas. Ooh YouTube.

I introduced dn to bananaman sil hates me :o

Gummy bears... Bouncing here and there and everywhere...

Rainbow Brite, anyone?

We have spent the day at my hometowns gala. I have spent all day keeping m out of the sun and protected but I am burnt to a crisp!

Funny Bones! Round the Twist.

I had a rainbow brite quilt cover set, I remember that but I don't actually remember watching it. Yes to funny bones and round the twist, and I now have the poddington peas song in my head!
Does anyone remember green claus, everyone I've ever asked thinks I'm going mad and making shows up lol.
