3rd time lucky?

DH has been home today so I hoovered the house -emptied the drum before I started and its now full again - slatternly? Me?

Bathrooms next - I may not come out alive!

It went well thanks but you never can tell can you?!

Had a last minute day at Guildford lido today, DS was lovely and got in free as he's under3 and he ever slept in the buggy while I had a lovely swim :) better than a boring day of work.

Running club tonight, lets hope he's not the same as last week, screaming for 2 hours while I'm out!

Was it busy IsThat?

Allergic conjunctivitis, so I have eye drops. Fingers crossed they work. The Dr has decided that since I have asthma I must have hay fever.

I got home and there wasn't anyone here. But MIL and the DC turned up 20 minutes later. She didn't mention anything about A's milk though, and everything I'd left is untouched in the fridge. So I don't know quite what he's had to drink all day.

It was busy spotty but not rammed, I've never been before so don't know what it's normally like. I think it didn't feel so busy as not everyone is swimming at the same time iykwim. We were there at 10.20 and got a bench by the baby pool (they're doing all the building work behind so no access to the Grass there). Then went up onto the grass part shade part sunshine around 12 for a picnic and the kids ran around (not DS obv, he slept and I had a swim). There was a queue as we were leaving though at 2.

I've got a really itchy patch on my boob and nipple, no pain, could it still be thrush? I'm wary after the antibiotics

Anyone given their LO scrambled eggs yet? Is it ok? (Obv no salt)

Fine after six months as long as well cooked ie no runny yolks

Isthat that sounds like a lovely day

Barb, hope your eyes gets sorted

Fx for sports and job

I'm off to do another BBQ now....4th one 5 days, :) fish tonight

*spotty and job

Thanks again spotty

Wow, C pinched and scratched the crap out of me during that feed. She wouldn't stay still and didn't take as much as she would. She also didn't get anywhere near falling asleep, which she almost always does at this time of night. I've put her to bed anyway but don't hold out hope of an easy bedtime.

I'm going to have some good bruises tomorrow.

Fx, Spotty!

R luuuuuurves scrambled egg, eats a whole one plus toast for lunch! As long as no history of allergy and 6+ months i think it's ok? (no allergies in this household so I'm not completely sure)

Will fb a pic of tonight's dinner

Ds drank the 4oz of formula so I got him some more and he vommed everywhere. Had to put him back
In the bath and change me and the bedding. He's never ever been sick before apart from dribbly bits.

He went down wide awake blowing raspberries, I've just got out the bath and he's fast asleep

Poor DS spotty

Ds2 loves scrambled and hard boiled egg. Although the latter can be more slippery for self feeding! Lol

I have running club at 7.30, DH decided to 'pop' to his mums on the way home, is now stuck in traffic, so I've had to get dd and ds1 to bed, then feed ds2 to sleep I haven't braved transfer yet and then I'll just have to wait until he turns up. I may have to drive there if he's really late. Urgh, hate wasting petrol!

Whats going on with these lo's? Ds has vomited 3 times today. First time he has vomited apart from bringing up a bit of milk in the early days. Maybe a bit pfb of me but I managed to get him an appointment with the nurse practitioner. She gave him a check over and he's got a wee bag to collect a sample. I'm not panicked butdefinitely concerned. Only breastmilk and water overnight.

Hope everyone's enjoying the sunshine.

Even the dds are commenting how clean and tidy the house is! Dm is coming to play with T and mil is having dd2 tom am so round 2 of house attack!

T has always been a puker but did some horrible foody ones over the last couple of days - the heat maybe? I also think if the weaning is a bit much for them on some days they are inclined to be sick. T ate much better today.

spotty its v easy for babies to over feed with a bottle - it stimulates a suck reflex because of the shape/length/angle of the teat so keeps them feeding after they're full. It may have just been a milk overload.

isthat hope you don't get too hot running! I'm going to sweat like crazy doing a bit of hula hooping in a bit.

isthat I'd forgotten all about Guildford lido! Many happy days spent there as a teen. Will def try to take the fam there over summer hols. There's a really nice play park and little lake in stoke park next door too -free parking in the college on weekends and holidays.

Hi all, glad the interview went okay Spotty and Fx the doctor has it right beasty and you get some relief.

After not being able to get J to bed yesterday he ended up sleeping in my bed 8-11, then I transferred him asleep and he woke up at 7:30

It's now 27 in his room again so no idea what I'll do with him.

I feel your pain with the pinching Mama. DS has just pinched a tiny little sliver of skin in the back of my knee while I fed him. It was the closest I've ever come to losing my shit. It absolutely killed!

What is a lido? We don't have one near here and I always wondered after seeing one on an episode of The Bill

Ps Jamie is blowing raspberries on my leg now. It's not looking good for an early bedtime.

It's an outdoor pool

Viscous little buggers aren't they - I was holding T up above my head earlier and blowing raspberries on her tummy when she grabbed my ear. She was really pulling for ages but as I was holding her aloft I couldn't disentangle myself.

Great sleep willyou - jealous!

DH has gone to see dn - ahh
