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

MM I am a rubbish female too. Competely crap at all the hair and make up stuff.

Hd a lovely day, with N. we saw great nana, and N went to his very first birthday party! of course he's not wanted to sleep at all the afternoon, and he is napping now.

I just hope he is ok, tonight as I'm on a night shift
Fingers crossed peeps

Evi

Bloody hell! O has been whinging since 4pm. No known reason!

He's finally stopped! Because his mouth is full of food! He's had his dinner and cried in between every mouthful, even though he wanted the food!

Now he is happily sucking on 'sweetcorn rings'. Onion rings to you and me, minus any flavour! Organixs thingies. Fuck he loves them!

Oh. Fully expecting to see grass in his nappy contents tomorrow... siiiiiiiigh! Also, like E, Horsey, O has escaped from the patio doors, with quite some speed. Me running after him . He made it to the grass before I got to him. That is, out the door, across the patio, and on to the grass! D'oh!

Hope your night shift goes well Evil!

We had a boring afternoon, went to the swings after 5 as it was around 37 degrees before. Hate the summer here, too dry and hot. Not humid at least. I will try to put a video up, she is like a wind up baby in the swings, too cute.

I'm rubbish at hair and make up too :-(.

Good luck evil.

Also rubbish at hair and make up. Think my current mascara is about 4 years old. I just don't wear it and figure I am so fat a bit of make up ain't gonna change it so why bother?

Hot, hot day here. Paddling pool in garden all day, so DC loved it. S just falling asleep on me, about to pop in cot, then wait for DH to finish putting DD and DSD to bed before we get a curry and watch Old Skool.

Hope everyone had lovely days and wishing easy evenings and uninterrupted sleep for all!

I'm rubbish at hair and makeup, too, if anyone was wondering.

O had a lovely day with his dad. He took him into town and several people stopped to say how beautiful O was He is such a happy, confident baby now

Another nice day planned tomorrow, my aunt and uncle are popping down from up North to go out for Sunday lunch.

Oh and I got wolf whistled at today whilst carrying O

Damnit Luis that has completely shattered the idea of you that I had in my head.

Went to the Scottish game fair at Scone palace today. Pleb that I am in spite of the wonderful charcuterie, venison, truffle oil and other naice things we picked up - what was my highlight? Discovering the chip van with chips and dairy free curry sauce! Epic

DH had fly casting tuition, we had a lovely picnic, watched dog shows, racing ferrets, falconry etc and mooched around the craft and gourmet tents. Jonas was in the ergo rubber necking and chatting to everyone and every dog. Just about managed to bite my tongue when I overheard a beheadscarfed hunter welly type moaning about not being able to dock her dog's tail and the resultant wagging putting her ornaments at risk

Liar, Luis, you were beautifully presented when we had coffee

I, however, lack the "giveafuck" gene wrt my appearance. As long as i look vaguely female and clean, I'm good to go.

I do however have sunburnt boobs

I'm fed up of people telling me how tired I look. Yes James has only slept through the night once in seven and a half months. That I'd why I look tired. It's because I'm fucking tired.

I snapped at someone at work once because they told me I looked tired stunt. I thought I was tired. This was before I had a baby Tired is my signature look now. Dark circles r us here.

Emailed you pr

a very late hi-5 to chasing

sophia My mum said similar - her main regret in life was going back to work full time. I am hoping to string out part-time for as long as possible - even one they are
all both at school.
stunt I am thinking you should say off a little while longer - at least until DS1 is settled. Maybe keep an eye on the jobs pages so you wont miss it if the world's most perfect job comes up!

I am also rubbish at hair and make-up. I have the lazy long hair scraped back in a pony tail look - and it doesn't even suit me! I am still pondering whether to cut it all off. I have 2 weeks to make up my mind. I'll probably decide as I walk through the door to the salon.

I am spitting tonight. It has been really bloody warm here today, and some absolute twat has decided tonight would be a great time to burn some garden waste or something. The kids bedrooms are nearly 28 degrees and I have had to shut all the windows due to all the bloody smoke wafting into the house I've got fans going but all they are doing really is moving warm air around. We have an air conditioning unit somewhere, but i'm not sure where and anyway, its the sort that needs venting out of a window. I am a pretty tolerant live and let live sort of a person but this has really wound me up.

Can I tell you something quiche? Something daft?

Now that I am feeling happy and full of excitement at what my future holds, I am worried that I have bipolar and that this is just a manic period. I haven't been happy in so long that I genuinely don't know what's normal anymore

Nothing is daft chasing!

I will text you my thoughts as they are probably quite personal.

But I do think what you are feeling is completely normal. :)

Fab day here. Went to a friends BBQ. Started off brilliantly by the Lions winning the test (I won't start another sport based rant as I'll probably be outnumbered again) but the Lions are the eptiomine of what rugby is all about. I can't even begin to describe how passionate DH is about the lions (I don't mean the furry kind) so it's hard for some of it to not rub off on me. We got engaged in NZ on the 2005 Lions tour. Anyhoo.....

The kids all had a whale of a time in the garden with the sprinkler on, bouncy castle and paddling pools. DD1 didn't stop all day. E however was far too sleepy to partake in much excitement and her day has bascially been: awake 8am sleep 10-12 then again 3-5 and bed 8pm. She's not been napping much at all int he day since we got back from holiday. Must be the heat.

pr It will be no surprise to you that I wanted Lisicki to win the tennis Hope it cheered you up.

Tomorrow there is a big free family festival near here which they hold annually. Is a great day out so I'll be off there (not avoiding the tennis at all, oh no) I just hope there is lots of shade there as the last time I went it was blimming hot.

We have one aircon unit and one cooling unit thing. E has the cooling unit in her room and we have the aircon leaving DD1 to suffer the heat. [insert bad mum emoticion] Must get her one!

Sounds like there have been lots of fun days had (sorry yours was dull lily).

Evening all

Sorry I haven't caught up.
Just posted a picture from our day on the FB page. Involved a trip to A&E for M after she got hit by a cricket ball watching daddy play.
She's fine, just got a lovely bruise and bump on her forehead, complete with seam mark. I, however, feel horrendous.

I feel better for getting her checked out but felt awful driving to the hospital. I'm normally so good with the ball. I curse parents that stand at the bar not watching while their kids run about paying no attention to the ball. And then I let my baby get hit. She was sat on the blanket playing and I was sat on the bench with my mum. I'd just thought about going to sit with her or putting her in the pram for a walk but she was playing happily so I sat at the bench to finish my drink and read a text i'd just got.
Next thing I know the balls coming, told my Mum to move her as she was closest but I felt like I was glued to the seat. Couldn't move fast enough.

It looked like it was going to miss her but it hit her pram and bounced back and hit her in the head. I've never heard her scream so loud Nothing would calm her down, not even boob. Took her to A&E and we were in and out in 30 mins! Nurse we saw was fab (and quite dishy too). M was all smiles, even putting her feet up on his desk

She's been full of life since: playing and singing. Now fast asleep in her cot. Not sure what to do with her tonight, whether to leave her, sleep in her room or bring her in with me to stop me worrying.

Sorry for the long post, just needed somewhere to expel all my panic from earlier

Can someone please explain why L is crawling around the lounge still 3 hours after bedtime laughing his head off yet when put in cot screams and screams? Bizarre!

Glad to hear of some lovely days and hope yours improved PR.

We went to a BBQ and caught some sun and L charmed everyone and loved the basin of water!

No not daft at all chasing My dad had bipolar. His highs and lows were so extreme he just never acted normally at all (whatever normal is). Although obvioulsy I have never met you but you don't seem manic at all to me. You've been through a lot of shit and have come out the other end. I think what you feel now is "normal". Please try not to worry and just enjoy it.

Fatima have her wherever you'll worry about her the least. She'll be fine but you sound as though you're still in shock xx

CALLING PASS AND VQ.

Where the fuck are ya dudes?!

Here. Tired. J still awake as fucking reflux is back now he is eating again. So fucking pissed off with our care.

But we had a fairly nice day at The Falkirk Wheel which is a canal lift, but rather fancy. Most things there are free, like an adventure playground, water play and parking, plus lovely grass to sit on next to the wheel. The cafe was reasonable too, but you can always take a picnic. And within walking distance of that house too

Fatima poor M and poor you. At least the pram was hit first so it would have taken some of the power out of it.

J now asleep after another 2oz. He was beyond tired. As am I. The antibiotics are making me feel sick and dizzy. If I were not on them, and did not have my tubes tied, I would be peeing on a stick.

Night night all. Thank you for missing me Detective.

Oh, and Chasing, you Rock

Arrrghhh just got L to settle but took another 5oz milk and Capol and rocking. Not had a bedtime that bad since newborn days

VQ I am sorry. Is there anyway you can get to someone higher up??

Chasing you are not bipolar. When I left my ex who was horrific I felt I had found me again and I was scared of how happy I was. It frightened me for months.

Fatima hope M is ok and igo with YW advice of wherever you are most comfortable.

Det if it makes you feel any better I think I found grass in Ls poo today
