Haddocks for noisy DHs! And tentative fingers crossed that house stuff keeps going well for you northern. And yes nursery does seem to be a bit better thanks for asking. DS finally started to nap there after the first 6 months so now loves it, so the other niggly bits don't seem as important.
Was talking to a close friend today, she and her DH have been TTC for about 18 months and she has just had to have surgery after an ectopic pregnancy 
Wish there was something I could do to help although I know being there when she needs it is all I can do right now, still wish there was more I can do though.

Seven...it was a few months before my cycle kicked back into gear. Maybe try poas again in a week or so's time if AF doesn't show her face.
Let me know how your website is coming along 
I'll try Madeira too.
Feeling as ruff as a badgers arse right now and I just want to sleep.

Gosh so much illness going around. It hasn't reached the Figgy household yet thankfully although I have been for a smear test today why is it I have given birth and yet the threat of one of those is still enough to make me quite 
Had to pick DS up from CM and he threw a massive wobbly screamed refused to get in the car ran away she had to put him in the car he screamed all the way home he tantrumed on the driveway and I managed to get in the garden and he battered the fence to get back out only a fig roll would calm him down. I think that is the worst tantrum we have had to date....... I know there are worse to come

No tantrums here but getting a lot of NO! And lots of laughing if she is told off 
Girls are in bed, DH working downstairs so I've had a shower and I 'm in bed watching Skyfall.

We had quite a bad one trying to get DS in the house too; he wanted to climb back in the car and then I half dragged him/lifted him down the road, with him occasionally slipping out of my grasp and crawling or going off in the wrong direction.
I made him walk- DP wanted to pick him up but I wouldn't pander.
Can I have gin too?
Delighted to hear the octo household is plague free, but boo to the fact that it's gone to the Queenie and Easy ones.
Glad things have perked up at the nursery BJR, that must be such a weight off your mind.
One of my colleagues has been admitted to hospital with heart problems, and it's just been frantic at work, as ever. I'm sure the two things are related, the stress has not done any of us any good....

Sorry to hear about poorly households and tantrumy littles. Minimopsy has a touch of croup. Mega clingy and a bit quiet but it is very mild so far. Fingers crossed it doesn't get worse.
Just prepped two walls of sitting room for painting (sanding walls and skirting board and filling holes from various nails and spraying mould cleaner then sugar soaping and cleaning). Two walls has taken well over an hour. Ugh. Is going to take forever at this rate Can't be added with other two walls. Will do tomorrow. Also managed to nick my finger and get blood everywhere. Such a small cut you practically can't see it, yet it was pouring with blood. Sigh. Not a fan of DIY! But will be worth it when it us done. I fancy a G&T SO MUCH. No T though so will have to go without!

Oh poor thing mopsy, it's grim isn't it. Hopefully it'll be a short bout, but it still sounds upsetting (and Dickensian!) and is rotten for all concerned.
Fingers crossed you get your tonic soon!
I think we're going to have to spend a bit this weekend on clothes...DS is well into 2-3 sizes (his 18-24 month dungarees won't do up round his tum ) and so we need to get a few more. His bath toys need replacing and both DP and I need work clothes. Urk.

Yay it's my birthday today and when DH brought in DS for a morning cuddle, DS sang me the happy birthday song (he sings it to himself on a daily basis, I assume so he doesn't miss his own birthday by accident.)
We went to the beach yesterday - DS absolutely loved it and we saw a seal in the waves only about 30 feet away!! DS was going nuts and pointing but I thought it was a Labrador and kept saying "yes yes, it's a nice doggy swimming" until DH pointed out that Labradors tend not to dive quite so much and aren't 6 feet long!

Poor mini mopsy! Hope she is better soon.
It's not a British Holiday if it doesn't rain, surely? Aethal
Had a bad night on Tuesday where I stayed up unti 2 finishing off some work (never doing that again!) and DS woke at 10 and would not go back in his bed. He was hysterical. It's almost like he had had a bad dream and was scared? He went to be with DH and then when I went up I took over. He slept fine as long as someone was next to him. This has happened a couple of times now, and DH is grumbling about not making a habit of him sleeping with us. I'm of the opinion that DS is probably going through a phase and just needs reassurance, and he'll get past it, it's not every night and I don't really mind sleeping with him in the spare room occasionally he snores less than DH plus being woken up by a grinning face an inch from yours, singing 'Bah Black Sheepy' is very cute. Have got husband's family up this weekend, and then my family up next weekend. DS is going to love having all his cousins to play with, but it's going to be bedlam!
OH! DH tried to put DS in a 'time out' because he pinched him really hard. Except he was in the middle of a nappy change so DH put him in his cot. Naked. And then was like 
and then 
when DS wee'd in the bed.
