Yay for all the feeling betterers :o

chasing don't keep us in suspenders!!

GT close caboo is an excellent choice

R woke at 9:30 for 5 minutes, 11:40 for 5 minutes, 2:50 for a 15 minute feed then up for the day at 6:20. Dp's taken him down for brekkie and I'm using my normal sleep time to take ibuprofen and let it kick in. I can barely bend let alone lift R, i was doing the silent scream at each waking and vvvdp put him to bed last night. Ibuprofen at 7, paracetamol at 9 etc for me then

Lily R cruises and walks supported like that. Don't think it means anything beyond they're practising?

Morning.

Techy question - I can't seem to get smileys and emphasis to work, is it because I'm posting on an iPad? The study is a totally un baby-proofed zone so rarely get to do anything on the computer.

PIdj I'm sending knock-'em-dead interview vibes through the ether.

Chasing and Lily, how lovely to have a proper, grown-up evening out. DH and I were so knackered last night we watched Masterchef with a glass of vino (insert imaginary vino symbol) and went to bed at nine!

Have a good day all.

I had a close caboo GT , really liked it. Takes a few goes to get the hang of it but that's true of any sling really. DH used to use it too and L would sleep really well in it.

It is stretchy so can't be used for back carries & will only last until the baby is a certain weight but that's what makes it so good for newborns & you can always resell.

I am ill. Again. Only a cold but ffs how many times since having L? DH took monitor last night so I could try and sleep.

chasing full update required! WAKE UP

Sophia I so agree... Where is our post?????!!! Do you not see we are all living through you

Sorry, fell asleep . Will update soon I promise.

Great news chasing!

Vq - I would prioritise catching up on sleep... Glad j is on the mend.

Lily - erm... I think she will! G is not nearly there yet but pulls to stand on everything. Which I find baffling after dd1 who didn't do that till she was 2. His brain to brawn ratio feels wrong to me. I mean who would pull to stand to try and lick a toilet seat (aaaagh)

Mm - were the petals etc for anything in particular? I wouldn't worry about dp's quip in your shoes - he was probably just trying to make the neighbour feel better?

Woooo chasing glad you had such a good evening. But yes, update needed!!

pp wishing your vvvdp the very best of luck for his interview although I'm sure he won't need luck!

mm aww sweet about the petals and bath, and I agree with bryz in that dp was probably just saying that to make the neighbour feel better, I'd probably say the same to try and make a joke of it.

eliza glad your feeling better

vq I'm sooooooo glad J is feeling better, long may it last!

kirrin how are you feeling today after your ride yesterday?

S went down at 6:30 as normal last night, woke at 7:15 and didn't go back to sleep until 9:30, but then she only woke at 2 for her dummy and then not a peep until 7:30, she's normally a 6am girl! Must have been the late night. A much better night than the past few but I hope he doesn't think she can stay up that late every night!

Oh and chocolate I don't know about using MN through safari on the iPad, but I use the app and all of the smileys are there ready for you to use without typing what you want to put in iykwim? The only thing is that you don't always see all of the icons others use which is a bit poo.

det thanks for the links to the present ideas, I've stolen a few I'm rubbish at thinking of things like that and even worse at finding bargains!

Thanks PP and Jupiter. I generally have a bad back so won't want to carry baby to much when bigger. So caboo will do me I think.

Chasing grrr

Bry lmao! Toilet seat haha. Pls don't let that happen to me.

LO just gone down for a nap. Aibu to come to bed?

not unreasonable at all GT I often go to bed with F for his morning nap - it's lovely! and you have all the excuses in the world for an extra sleep - enjoy while you can! xx
Chasing hurry up - we are all waiting

Sorry, just about to pick up the keys for my new flat

Quick summary. Lovely romantic evening, sat on the top of a hill overlooking MK then went for a drink. Talked non stop. He likes me a lot. Has slept around a lot in the past but 'has never been this interested in anyone this quickly'. Has told all his mates about me. We have a very good chemistry and we both know that there is something there but are going to take it slowly as we are both wary of being hurt. I can't find the words to do the evening justice, but he is a special guy.

chasing sounds like the perfect evening, I'm so happy that you sound happy, you really do deserve it!

gt you should deffo have a nap!

Oh and yay for flat keys

GT get thee to bed.

Chasing that sounds like the start of something wonderful. Work on friendship. That is the best basis for any relationship. Hopefully you will find your lobster, and this may be the one. No need to rush things, but it does sound like a very beneficial contact at the moment. Big hug, and all the best with the flat. Hopefully having your new friend will help you feel less alone.

J slept all night. He woke twice but self settled after a little swearing. He has woken full of snot again FFS! What a boy!

The app is good but there are bits that are invisible, like if you put < and stuff inbetween, it is not seen by others. You can also do this :

Which would take a year to do otherwise

I am now on safari, and can see everything I put, but the emoticons appear. quite different. Also I have a message, which the app does not tell me!

Thank you VQ

I never think to go on safari and have a look at what I can't see.

Morning all - not sure i've got time to catch up on everything, not much of E's nap left! Didn't get chance to come on yesterday, went to SW last night, plesantly surprised I weigh about a stone less than I thought I did, had a farewell takeaway and started being all healthy and stuff this morning. Have done well so far for me, has taken lots of concentration not to do silly things like eat the crusts off e's sandwhich i've made him for lunch. Normally i'd eat them, and make myself one and just generally be a greedy sod. No more!

FFS no time to catch up on ANYTHING! He's awake now apparently! Typical, he sleeps till 11 every other bloody day! Right lets see where I can get to quickly before he demands to get out...

daisy enjoy your break

hugs kirrin it can't be easy for you, and from reading it doesn't sound uncommon for toddlers to test patience and wear you thin so much. Everybody fed, nobody dead, right? Hope you enjoyed riding (i've not got that far down the fred yet, not sure if you've posted about it)

no idea re money apple sorry, am sure other quiche people will do though

glad you seem to be on the mend eliza

gt try to stay in if you want to, mine kept me in and wouldn't let me go home, lol!

glad the new breakfast idea is working det E is back to draining the morning one and evening one and then now 5-8oz of lunchtime one whether he eats alot or not, so i'm guessing we're not dropping a third bottle anytime soon!

choc that's still damn clever though!!

well done to your dh stunt with the gaviscon, fooking doctor

sorry to hear you're still having a bad time pikz

sorry i didn't get on last night to do a summary for you vq :( glad J is better though, bless him... oh fuckery read to the bottom and saw snot... bollocks

sounds lovely mm :) the rose petals not the car bump - i'm not sure what to make of that one (not until i read it properly later anyway)

chasing fab stuff! definitely get a good friendship going and build from there :) so pleased for you

hope your back feels better soon pp doesnt sound much fun at all :(

sorry you're ill again jj hope you get better soon!

why not gt you need all the rest you can get imo :) nothing wrong with that

woohoo for flat keys chasing!

omg, i think i'm at the bottom! Need to keep on top of it a bit better again might stop me caving and eating crap

I haz keyz

am possibly a little over excited

Yeeeehhhhhaaaaeewwww chasing!!
