This thread's topic is what size of nappies are your babies in? And how are the cloth bum babies doing?

Chasing heat, light and my stress have everything fucked here, might O be picking up on your tension over sending him off with cuntbadger XP tomorrow?

Recipe for the dairy-freers (tested on R today)

1/2 tin peaches drained, retain juice
4 apricots, stoned and quartered
Baby rice

Blend fruit. Add 1 part rice to 1 part fruit and 2 parts juice and mix till smooth.

The juice from a tin of peaches did my remaining 6tbsp rice nicely, with puree left over for his morning weetabix. It's the only thing he's actually eaten and enjoyed today!

Hello not-so-new thread. Need to catch up. Still working Sad. On the upside the sling lady came to the house today, taught me some hip carries with woven wraps and I got a free loan of a connecta from the sling library. It's so nice and easy!

Oh yes and H is in Aldi size 4s then ebay cheapy birth to potty reusuables which I doubt will last him more than 3 more months. I need to sell my teenyfits to fund new purchases, but I just love them sooo much and it reminds me of H being tiny

Whoop whoop Murray!!! Lots of happy folks north of the border. Am amused how he's described as Scottish by the commentators when he loses but British when he's kicking ass Grin

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2013 21:44

pig you are getting a week's unpaid leave??? Envy

back to catch up on other news.

Just thought I'd mention I am seriously Angry tonight.

Elizadoesdolittle · 05/07/2013 21:46

Haha YW That was a brilliant cross post. Me moaning about Murray the same time as you adoring him. I hated Henman too. He was as dull as. I like tennis players to have some personality. My all time fave is Andre Agassi. I got to see him play at centre court.

PurplePidjin · 05/07/2013 21:49

daisy their legs slim down when they start to crawl, so don't write your nappies off quite yet. I'm hoping to get a good long time out of my realeasies - he's on the largest leg popper setting but barely middle at the waist. As they're size Small i think we're doing pretty well!

I'm organising a collection at baby group to buy teenyfits - our peer supporter is due in October and asked on a fb page how to guide family to buying nappies, specifically newborn size. I'm going to chuck in some wraps etc i cba to sell and hopefully make a nappy cake :o

YellowWellies · 05/07/2013 21:52

Haha Eliza we is playing cross post tennis innit! Am v envious of your seeing Agassi - my all time favourite crush was Boris Becker.

Bryzoan · 05/07/2013 21:52

Chasing - same here! And I really need to get the house ready for dd's party tomorrow.... Come on babies - pack it in.

Passmethecrisps · 05/07/2013 21:54

love being compared to rastamouse! Finally! Finally I am cool. DH got compared to Jarvis cocker today - we are obviously some kind of über couple.

chasing apart from the wee man's screamthon recently I was dead chuffed to read your happy post. Go gettem!

First day of work done evil. Enjoy your tea.

P was back on noms today.

bp your emoticon illustrated description of dinner made
Me laff!

Oh and can I just jump in and be the first to say that I am sick of the heat. I cannae cope. Ideally, the outside temperate would be between 6 and 18 oC.

ChasingDaisy · 05/07/2013 21:55

He's finally in his cot after 2.5 hours of screaming. And he is sobbing in his sleep Sad I had so many things to do this evening as well. And I missed the tennis. And I just had an almighty row with XP.

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2013 21:56

I'm up late and spitting feathers. I don't think I'll be up in time to go to the market tomorrow.

I have rarely been so angry witjout there being an element of hurt. Pure anger. Tis going to have to be channelled into some fighting energy.

Hear me roar quiche. I. Am. Fucking. Furious.

As ever. Fb for clues.

FatimaLovesBread · 05/07/2013 21:58

(((chasing))) Sad

I started catching up yesterday morning and it's taken me until now.

I went out with some work friends this afternoon and left M at home with my Niece. It was strange leaving her and i missed her, suppose i'll have to get used to it Sad

Got a banging hay fever head tonight so I think i'm going to take myself to bed

kirrinIsland · 05/07/2013 21:58

i hate the heat too pass My ideal is 15-18 and sunny!

kirrinIsland · 05/07/2013 22:01

Cross posts. ((hugs)) Chasing

I'd ((hug)) you too PR but I am in awe of your rage and keeping a safe distance! Channel that rage into winning the battle.

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2013 22:03

So happy for Murray. I love him. Also loved shagassi Agassi.

pass Jarvis lives or did live in Paris. We used to go to the same bar. Sat next to or near him very often. He never exchanged a word with anyone. Sat in a corner sulking. He was my teen idol though I never approached him. He's uber cool though.

chasing put that fight with xp in a bubble and blow it away. YOU are in control now. Never forget that.

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2013 22:05

He is or was at the time married to a French woman. (Jarvis that is)

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2013 22:06

kirrin I'm accepting needy of hugs

Elizadoesdolittle · 05/07/2013 22:11

Oh chasing Im sorry. You'd had such a positive day.

yw lol at your crush on Boris Becker. Mind you, Andre Agassi in his early days are a bit questionable now.

TheDetective · 05/07/2013 22:23

I love the heat. But not UK heat.

28 degrees in some foreign lands please!

TheDetective · 05/07/2013 22:24

Pikz I will take your recommendation highly! If L can't escape... then O will be fine Grin.

Off to have a looksie!

ChasingDaisy · 05/07/2013 22:24

A Murray fan here. I think he's just misunderstood Grin

Oh FFS, my dad and stepmum coming to bed has woken O up Angry They have no concept of being quiet around a sleeping baby...

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2013 22:34

28 degrees and more planned here for the wkd Detective . Bbq tomorrow...

chasing you're stressed. Breathe. O will settle. He will. He will he will he will.

am sure someone mentioned her yesterday. Or am I just old?

MadameGazelleIsMyMum · 05/07/2013 22:35

I adore Murray. Refuses to play the media more than strictly necessary, competitive, passionate, loves it. Good enough for me.

chasing good about happy. Rubbish about argument / XP.

bp glad all sorted.

It's fucking hot here. Seriously hot. Went to a friend's house for wine, pizza and tennis watching. Came home and DH had fallen asleep putting DD to bed. Ha!

TheDetective · 05/07/2013 22:36

Yes. GT's blummin feeder MIL Grin

28 degrees in my house right now and it's fecking disgusting!

Piss off heat! Well. Humid heat!

Gimme dry heat any day!

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2013 22:40

But yes, Murray is misunderstood. You know why?

He made a comment about six years ago that anyone but England should win the world cup (football) . He was being interviewed with Henman. It was a joke. They laughed. But the Daily Fail made a headline out of it. Thereby unfairly maligning him as being against England. And Middle England has never forgotten. Or forgiven.

Andy Murray is Scottish and British. He is as dour as anyone (only ever used as a way of criticising Scottish people by the tabloids)
