November 2012 - Summertime, and the babies are sleeping (mostly with a few notable exceptions)

Fucking hell, a massive bolt of lightening just landed in our street. Everyone's car alarms are going off and my power is down. And DP has fucked off out on his bike to visit his workmates. Prat.

Stunt so sorry to hear of your back. My mum suffers from sever back problems and I know how debilitating it can be. She relies on constant heat therapy (heat pads etc) and finds swimming helps a lot. Hope you can get on top of it. xx Great news about the house though - I am keeping everything crossed for you!!

Hmmm just heard thunder - remnants of today's cracking super cell. Will it wake him I wonder? please no Woo the rain is like someone's turned a hose on!

Stunt yey and boo!

PR my sister was having one of those days with her two.

Pass I hope she's asleep now

And whose idea was it to dress the royal bird in heels? less than 27 hours after giving birth NO ONE should be in heels. Still at least she was wearing her post birth bump with pride. Well done that girl.

I am too scared to go out and turn my car alarm off

MM what's he doing on a bike and diving???? His work are going to be as he shouldn't be doing either should he?

MM would it not have hit the fuck off great metal bridge in your back garden? You'll be fine xxxxx

pass do you think it is a developmental leap affecting P? Sounds like her brain is just too switched on. That's probably not very helpful, sorry. Just a thought that popped into my head as I was reading your post.

MM that is my worst nightmare. But you know, it can't strike twice so you're safe now

Cheers, dollface.

She is asleep. Thank goodness.

I wanted to cook dinner for my husband. For once. I still did but it was hardly relaxing

DH: so, have you heard from . . .
Me: I'll go
Me: still not fucking asleep. She had ripped Ewan from his perch and he was all wet when I rescued him.
Me: anyway. Yeah, she called earlier and . . .
DH: I'll go this time

And so on.

I would like you to know, however, that on finding a fruit fly in my wine just now I calmly fished it out and placed it on my napkin before blowing on it gently to dry it off.

I am owed one

Thunder and lightening, very, very frightening me!
Galileo, Galileo, Galileo blah blah blah

And so on.

chasing I think you are right and it does help to rationalise it. 2 naps today were fabulous and very pleasant. I had high hopes for this evening. Ach well. Not the end of the world. Rather now than at 2am

YW nope. He is actually cycling to work as we speak to "see his boys" - twunt. My car has stopped screaming but I am so scared. I'm such a girl

Also, on peering out, I have noticed he didn't take my washing in as requested. Prat prat prat.

Pass M was like this last night when we had friends round. They just know...

Oh my word, it has just struck a house further up the village

The whole quarry (including my house) actually just shook!!!!

You're on the bottom of the hill it'll hit the houses up by the bridges before you. Be smug at your low altitude xx

Be smug my baby is still asleep

stunt What a day! Sorry to hear your horrible news but fab news about the house. I love the kitchen. It's very similar to mine (although that one is about 3 times the size of mine!). Fingers crossed everything goes through ok. Ive been trying to move for a year now. We finally have good buyers but theres not one house on the market that I like fussy much so I can see these buyers pulling out as they won't wait forever. Am hoping once the school holidays are over there will be more houses on the market.

pr I can sympathise. My DD1 can be an absolute terror. She used to be a bolter but now at 3.5 is much much better. She needs social interaction and lots of it. I'm lucky though as I have a large network of friends with kids. I really couldn't cope if I didn't so you're doing a bloody marvellous job. She went to nursery at 18 months for just one morning a week and it really benifited her. Hang on in there.

Oh I missed them leaving hospital. Still I'm sure it will be on the news. I wonder when they will anounce his name.

Oh hoorah!!

I'm equally smug at my (so far) thunder proof baby.

No thunder here. The rain has just come on though - almost biblical

My baby is still awake. And unhappy with acid. Fucking ranitadine.

pass you are deffo owed !!

Pass if it makes you feel any better L has gone to bed 10 mins ago...there was no point before that..he was just crawling and trying to walk and failing! Like a manic thing

I baked weaning goodies from my weaning cookbook around him and made dinner. He has never gone to bed this late.

Weaning scone fingers= lush!

Wimper... someone come and be my thunder buddy?

MM I would, but it's not thundering here. Proper coward though. Head under pillow with fingers in my ears job here whenever there's a thunderstorm.

Poor you mm!

Scone fingers sound delicious.

Och I love a wee thunder and lightening - makes me feel all primal.

I am so going to complain about no healthy options.

ooh, I love a good thunder storm. None here yet but it is trying to rain.

bedtime was better tonight, if you ignore the fact that DD1 fell asleep on N's floor! There was no screaming so I'll take that as a win

I'll be honest, the royal baby news coverage is starting to irritate a little. It lovely an all but there isn't really anything new to report so they're having to resort to drivel. I couldn't help but think of all the threads you get on here complaining that the in laws want to visit too soon - imagine how Will and Kate feel!
