Chasing am contemplating how we can get a quiche ear piece so we can all come on your date...

Sophiathesnowfairy · 15/08/2013 22:42

Venting here helps so much. It has most definitely helped averted a most heinous crime this evening!

Sophiathesnowfairy · 15/08/2013 22:43

Lol pikz

We could prime chasing on what to say! Grin

ChasingDaisy · 15/08/2013 22:46

Grin at quiche ear piece.

Lily I am sending over my share of sleepy dust for you x

Fatima most definitely spend the day with M tomorrow. You definitely won't look back and wish you had done the housework instead.

kyz where are you missus?

Have we done thankfuls today? Here are mine: The quiche for literally saving changing my life.

My O for taking everything in his stride so wonderfully and giving me the best reason in the world to get up every morning.

ChasingDaisy · 15/08/2013 22:47

sophia Grin I feel like I have an obligation to live the single life on behalf of the whole quiche!

Pikz · 15/08/2013 22:52

Miss chasing you so do....!!!!

Fatima play with M... We need some mischief stories!

TheDetective · 15/08/2013 22:55

Chasing you and O need to come and visit me and O!

The invite still stands, and I would very much look forward to it! Grin

I am planning on going back to work on the 16th Sept even though I am still in pain, but oh well, gotta earn a living :( although it will be part time initially for 4 weeks, then hopefully 4 days a week for 2-3 months.

Pikz · 15/08/2013 23:01

Sophia that's exactly what I was thunking!

ValiumQueen · 15/08/2013 23:05

Thank you Pikz x

Have we heard from PR today? I hope you are ok my dear x

Little sodlet is asleep. I think it is another fucking tooth. His skin has flared up again this afternoon.

Sophia you are amazing Grin

TheDetective · 15/08/2013 23:06

Chasing I am holding back from messaging him and telling him he better treat you well Grin. But then that would look crazy.

So I am silently threatening him to not be a dick!

I am pretty sure he will have been celebrating my friends husbands 30th today or tonight.

I might message her though just to check all is good and what I thought was right?! She wouldn't say anything to him!

FatimaLovesBread · 15/08/2013 23:06

That solves it then, a lazy day of mooching and playing with M tomorrow and no housework Grin

V excited about your date chasing

I am thankful for this quiche to allowing me to talk shit at all times of the day and I am thankful for the IVF clinic in Manchester that allowed me to have the best 10 months off work with my amazing little girl Grin that's soppy for you

ChasingDaisy · 15/08/2013 23:09

Go for it det Grin Best to confirm his single status...

YellowWellies · 15/08/2013 23:47

Sophia crossing fingers your last surprise hurdle is a wee doorstep sized dinky thing...

Lily poor O I hope she sleeps through. Eeeeeegad I'm dreading teeth appearing - all that screaming would take me right back to his two months of reflux hell Sad

Pass Sad that you felt teary - you soft moo. Meant affectionately! If you want to cuddle a wee baby with a dislike of cow's milk on a lunchtime I could pop J in some stripey tights Smile and serve baby cuddles with Brew

Just off to bed - four nights on the trot I've been freelancing til gone 11. Am shattered. Wahoooo I am thankful for the bottle of Marlborough Sound Sauvignon in the fridge with my name on it for tomorrow night and also thankful that I have the chance to do freelance.

TheDetective · 15/08/2013 23:47

I did!

And he is!

He was at my friends tonight as I thought! Grin

She has confirmed everything I told you!

ChasingDaisy · 16/08/2013 00:21

Grin det

TheDetective · 16/08/2013 00:28

G'night fuckers! Grin

GTbaby · 16/08/2013 00:53

VQ , PR was commenting about US n politics earlier. So I think she's ok Wink

Chasing, thank you so much for your generous offer! We do have loads of clothes tho. N I few more given to us today!

Lily hope lo is now ok n sleeps thro the night.

Disney I think I may wait till lo is 6 n bump is 5. So they can remember the trip but they are young enough for it to be magical. Although I suspect Paris is more likely then Florida.

Right bed time.

PurplePidjin · 16/08/2013 02:36

Every. Fucking. Hour.

Not milk. Not teeth. Not thirst. Bum changed.

What am i doing wrong?

Lily311 · 16/08/2013 05:37

She woke at 4.50 screaming. Calpol and a bit of milk, she was asleep 15 min later. Poor baby. I just cancelled the babysitter, supposed to be in the gym at 8. No way, we are taking it easy today.

Lily311 · 16/08/2013 06:12

pidj I have a friend who advices parents on sleep. She always says not to tackle the sleep itself but look at the whole routine: sleep, feed, activities,etc. if you send me an average day routine, I forward it to her and see what she suggests.

PetiteRaleuse · 16/08/2013 06:42

Morning. I am thankful for my sleeping pills. Two nights in a row. Feel like a new woman this morning, but DD1 isn't up yet so it might not last. I took one last night as tomorrow I have to go for blood tests first thing and have to be nil by mouth and medication free for 12 hours before. But I really have to go get them done as they were prescribed by the doc last visit and I want to see her on Monday and don.t need a bollocking for not having done them.

PurplePidjin · 16/08/2013 06:52

He slept till 5. Now feeding in hope of the morning nap he's been refusing recently. Lily, i might try that if i can remember what it was before it fell apart 2 days ago.

ValiumQueen · 16/08/2013 08:06

Thank you GT. The days blur at the moment.

PP if it is just the last couple of days, it could be he is coming down with something. It is often impossible to work out what is causing distress and waking.

J has just vommed his breakfast and meds. So fed up of this shit.

PetiteRaleuse · 16/08/2013 08:26

Flowers vq

Lily311 · 16/08/2013 08:39

Fuck, just caught her trying to stand up in her cot.
