It's a fucking flannel FFS! Grin Tell them Stunt. Tell them they are all wrong!!!!!

PR Let me know if you want to meet - when you have free time. I'm easy Grin. I don't think I have anything planned properly til next Thursday. I don't mind travelling. Just make it worth my while in fucking cake, okay?! Grin.

TheDetective · 11/06/2013 23:43

Rational Cat. Most definitely rational. I may have mentioned something like how I'm sure she must be working on getting rid of all that excess fat after a triplet pregnancy with a pointed look. Bad Detective. Please tell me you gave her a super rude comment back?!

FatimaLovesBread · 12/06/2013 00:04

Oooh pr is about in Dets vicinity? Whereabouts?

FatimaLovesBread · 12/06/2013 00:06

That comment reminds me of my friend getting rounded on in the park by a bunch of weirdos lovely people last week. She is nearly 32 and was there with her 5 month old and they asked if she was 13?! Hmm

ValiumQueen · 12/06/2013 00:25

Sadly my days of being asked if I am 13 are long over. Was it a compliment Cat?

J woke 11.45 for a feed. Rather handily it was at the exact moment TH came to bed. J had been grumbling for a while, but the landing light and niagra piss was the last straw. I pointedly asked him if he could possibly cuddle J while I got the bottle.

I am going to have a night of pointy elbowing him as he has had cider. He said around Vegan-gate that he was searching for something. I am so tempted to tell him it is at his mothers house and to fuck off there.

I would not trust him to take the two older kids away let alone all three. He doesn't even know where Js Gro bags are kept ffs.

Don't mind me. I'm just rambling having a fucking winge.

I do need a break PR and MILs house is not it. If we were all there then it would be all 5 of us in one room. Now that would really work wouldn't it. And they don't go to bed until midnight, are fucking loud when they do, and sleep in until 10. Yeah that would fucking work for sure. Last time we stayed there we both swore never again and that was with just two kids. And no we do not have the funds to stay somewhere. We cannot even justify the petrol money IMO

Fucking cuntballs.

Thank you for the sweet comments about HV.

Pass, she is talking bollocks. You are super in every way, but especially shine in your mummy skills. Please try to relax a bit about the feeding. I think you should come over for lunch and see how crap J is at it Grin

ValiumQueen · 12/06/2013 01:04

Still awake. Still hopping mad. I have written a few home truths down. Will I have the balls to show him?

Hope you are all asleep x big hugs to all x

LuisGarcia · 12/06/2013 01:14

I'm here TiddlyQueen. I'm sorry DH needs some hometruths. All I can say is if I knew MrsG was awake stressing at me and writing down hometruths, I'd want her to show me them.

Chasing you are very kind, but no, I'm not sleeping yet. I just don't want to disturb otherwise quiet quiche nights. I'm sure I'm not the only one counting dwn the hours for you. MrsG and I will raise a glass for you tomorrow once it's over.

LuisGarcia · 12/06/2013 01:20

Also, Bryzoan, In the Night Garden Live????

Please please never tell J about this.

PurplePidjin · 12/06/2013 02:50

Pass the whole HV system needs overhauling. I'm still waiting for some support, from early January - 23 weeks now. I'm tempted to go via PALS to get something done. If anyone can advise on what they should be doing please let me know! Imagine if i were vulnerable/had pnd/did something desperate SadAngry

Luis and MrPidj need to form a super hero duo and go around kicking asshat dads and partners into touch Wink

LuisGarcia · 12/06/2013 03:17

That sounds fun and all but please can I have a lie down first?

StuntNun · 12/06/2013 04:18

Yawn. J went from 11-4. Clever J! I would have had more sleep but I stupidly stayed up late watching Dexter series 5. Julia Stiles showed up last episode. I'm on a mission to get to the end if season 7 before season 8 starts in July. True Blood starts on Sunday in the US as well.

11oz at bed causes a 5.50am poo and soaked through pajamas. Ace.

PetiteRaleuse · 12/06/2013 06:22

Morning.

Fatima I'm near Lancaster til a week tomorrow.

Stunt I say airing cupboard and face cloth.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 12/06/2013 06:51

IIIITTTTTTSSSSS WEEEEDDDDNESDAYYYYYYTYT

you will be on my mind all day chasing

MsJupiterJones · 12/06/2013 07:08

Pass that does sound really odd, beyond the usual thoughtless and rude you get from some HVs. I wonder if she had been pulled up about something she had missed and was angry about it? That's even worse than being thoughtless though.

Please may I have a little moment of joy... L slept 11-6.30. As did I. 7.5 hrs! By far the longest sleep I've had in over a year. Fuck yes.

Pikz · 12/06/2013 07:09

Go mini JJ

Yay too Sophia its motherfucking Wednesday and the pompoms are out for chasing!

katkit1 · 12/06/2013 07:18

Am I a bad mummy for not letting the baby play with the radiator or the foil insulation behind it...or the wet washing? He has a rather a large room full of toys - all über dull.

katkit1 · 12/06/2013 07:26

We saw our hv at 6 wks, 6 months - the next one will be at 1.5 yrs

katkit1 · 12/06/2013 07:31

Rather the same in terms of kind nodding so decided to just see her on the required dates

YellowWellies · 12/06/2013 07:46

Morning!

Good luck team chasingdaisy! Smile

DH has been getting his induction to his new job - meaning he's been working in London - so I had tea and baby bath time at my sisters yesterday. Was hilarious to have the 3.5, 1.5 yr old and J in the bath together. Got home about 9 and the bear was excitedly still awake he finally fell off his perch at 9.30 and woke up at 6.55! Ha sod routines I say!

VQ tell him hon - he needs told if he is making you sad xx

Pass I agree with a shit weaners party - Jonas goes nuts for tomatoes, bread products and any form of fish - but lovingly hand made purees - once in a blue moon Mummy! Envy

Cacacaz · 12/06/2013 07:49

Morning everyone I'm still crap at posting

Chasing I will be thinking of you and O today. The gift from your neighbour was very thoughtful.

JJ high five To L, I hope he keeps up the good work and you continue to enjoy long stretches of sleep.

Pass and Vq I am coming to Stirling next week for a training course. When I was informed about the course and venue, I immediately thought of you both and simultaneously gasped at the thought of being away from M for 12 hours

Pikz soaked through pyjamas are no fun at all. M has perfected this.

detective we also have a meltdown over face wiping. I am going to try giving M a wipe to hold.

Vq I would show Dh your home truths. I hope you managed to get some sleep.

Quick update from me. I started my new job last week. I am really enjoying the challenge minus all the induction paperwork and having to leave M of working with children with complex needs. I am, however, not looking forward to next week. I am working on Monday pm right through until Tuesday am. Then I have 2 days training, which will result in 12 hour days. That aside, it is my dream job so I will just grit my teeth and concentrate on getting to the weekend.

horseylady · 12/06/2013 07:55

pass she'll eat when she's ready. Jesus. Stupid hv!!! Hugs. Take the pressure off yourself. She'll be ok.

fruitpastilles · 12/06/2013 08:21

Thinking of you today chasing today is the start of a wonderful new life for you and O x

Sophiathesnowfairy · 12/06/2013 08:47

Oo. Good luck to all the new job people and mr people's.

Have hearing test this morning. Pah. To find out if DD2 s inner ear issues are anything genetic.

O is teething something terrible. Nursery phoned me at work to give the ok to give him Calpol yesterday. Poor mite. I have never seen so much saliva. In. My. Life.

Elizadoesdolittle · 12/06/2013 09:15

bry enjoy ITNG live. I took DD1 to see it last year and she absolutely loved it. Even I enjoyed it and I can't stand the programme!

chasing hope all goes ok x

Well DD1 was sick twice in the night so no preschool today. There goes my quiet morning! Was half tempted to send her as she seems fine (currently doing rolly poleys) but I'm being a sensible mummy for a change and keeping her away from other kids in case it's a nasty bug.
