Ah cross post.

Sounds as much fun as it was moving whilst 8 months pregnant chasing . O will lurve the flat pack boxes though!

((Hugs)) det (and )

det i'll text ya.

pig sunday is official move in day. I am treating myself to a bottle of champers to celebrate. O is with his dad tomorrow, so he will be spared the flat pack fun.

Hugs det I'm off to bed in a min too. Dp is snoring on the settee, S has just gone down again, hopefully she will stay the fuck asleep now.

Ahh chasing I must say I don't envy you with the actual moving. I think we will all raise a glass with you on Sunday!

pig good luck with the masks, I am sooooo unbelievably shit at anything like that. I'm dreading when S starts school and things like that need to be made. The thought of Easter bonnets terrifies me!

pennie how on earth have I missed that you are moving to HK? 2 of my cousins lived there, absolutely loved it. They only moved away because it was too expensive. 1 is now in Vietnam and the other in Canada and both say they'd move back to HK in a heartbeat.

Sometime in the next couple of weeks

Chasing you haz peemm

DP can be a right twat sometimes. Why can't they think before they speak. Going to bed before I say something I will regret.

Sorry to hear about your day det.

This bloomin baby is driving me mad. He is fine - not in pain. But I just can't settle him. As soon as I lower him into his cot or even pass him to dh he cries. And I have a massive list of stuff I need to do. And I wanted an early night. Not big on cc but wondering if it is my only option to sort bed times. Any other ideas anyone?

I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but when I took O to A&E last week the nurse suggested that 9 months is a very difficult age. Not sure if that is helpful or not...

Bry we are the same. Rocking him to sleep is the only thing that works. He self settled for 4 months ffs and suddenly overnight it went.

I have been told by a head of a large nursery and the nursery that I'm sending L to that 9 months is brilliant but very very hard as they have sooo much going on.

Hello.

I've eventually caught up!! Cannot remember a word of it tho, sorry!!

I havehad a nightmare few days. J will not settle in the cot again despite having been doing not too badly. DD keeps waking at night too. I'm struggling now.

Got my hair done at swanky salon only to get home and for my sis to tell me my roots were a completely different colour to rest of my hair!! I got an appt same night to fix it thankfully. The manager rectified it but not before 4 other people inspected it!! I did get a voucher for my next cut and colour free though!

Went to collect my new pram chassis today to find that uppababy only sent a chassis and I was to use my old wheels. Wouldn't be an issue if for the fact my front wheels are dodgy too!! I was not impressed and sales assistant was awkward to deal with and not listening to what I was saying! I did come away with new front wheels in the end so hopefully my pram problems are fixed too!!

My new sling has arrived, it's very pretty if a little crunchy so I've washed it and tumbled it, doesn't feel much better tho...any advice pidj ??

We go on holiday on Sunday and I can't seem to find our summer clothes!!

Erm....think that's it!!

At the minute he is standing in his cot wailing and screeching and holding my hand. He is growing up so fast at the moment but bedtimes - ack.

Chasing I am so excited for your new life!

Pikz I am about to head to bed for similar reasons.

Hi-5 on the pram izzy

Where is pass?

My period started again, 10 days after my last one ffs today. Explains why I have been overreacting to dp for the past couple of days over things I would normally ignore. We have had some ferocious rows this week. I feel like shit. It just seems never ending. 5 months since I had the implant fitted, it does eventually settle down right? I am also still feeling really sick all the time but much worse around period time. Urgh.

We have been invited for 'Saturday night cocktails' with our nouveau riche read snobby wankers neighbours tomorrow night, along with some other "select local residents". I do not want to go but cannot think of a valid reason to cancel. It is likely to be horrific and I have no idea (actually I do, he is also a pretentious wanker with ideas above his station) why DP is trying to cosy up to these ghastly people.

Empathy chasing try to focus on the fun element of creating your new life, in the way that you want. You are doing a grand job, believe me I know what a palava packing only while the baby sleeps is.

We only have a few boxes left in the garage now.i still have not located the box with my recipe book stand, oblong Jamie Olivee serving platter, life time supply of Prices cooks candles and birthday calendar.

DH has fitted three out of four wardrobes with complex ikea interiors, has taken 2days!

Bryz you need to break it in. Bash it about a bit - tie it round a table to make a hammock for the dc to play in, cool iron, braid it, use it lots for both dc - it'll break quicker for heavier dd :)

If i thought it would help, i would cc. I'm sort of doing gradual retreat, i think? In the last 2 weeks he has got:

Mama, Dada and Ta
High 5
4 teeth
Crawling
Pulling up
Cruising
Walking holding on
Picking things up from standing
No and uh uh and ignores them
And a whole load of invisible neurological stuff.

We've all got a list like that, and in a similarly short time frame. Poor little babies with all that to deal with!

MM shouldn't he still be on best behaviour?

Excellent pidj thanks. I've washed and tumbled it and have only just noticed the do not tumble dry icon!! and will attempt a wrap with dd tomorrow!! That should be fun!

yay for keys chasing Congratulations :)

Glad vvvdp felt he did well pp Still got my fingers crossed for him.

((hugs)) detective Hope O is ok and that whatever it is is out of his system soon.

we are also back to rocking to sleep after weeks and weeks of self settling - 9 months does seem to be a difficult age, judging by all the tough days and night being had by several on here at the moment.

sorry you've been rowing so much mm ((hugs)) Hope things get better soon.

Ok pikz ??

kyz well done on being good! I know what you meant about eating the kids' crusts etc - it is so easy to do and yet adds so many unnecessary calories. I have managed to restrict my calorie intake but I am yet to manage any form of exercise other than walking where possible. Hopefully when my training period ends and I move back to my local hospital I will be able to cycle to work but until then I'm a bit stuck.

S awake again. 3rd time, doesn't want to go back to sleep this time. I'm on her floor because she cries every time I leave her room. She's chuntering away to herself in her cot..... Laughing now, probably at mummy who is doing this face

det sorry you have had such a tough day

mm that's why I had the implant removed. I was bleeding around two weeks out of every four and had enough. I didn't give I long though. Fingers crossed it will settle down for you soon.

Crappy evening in the apple household. C has a high temperature (38C) and won't sleep or drink anything

*give it

J finally asleep. As PP says there is SO much happening, and they are becoming aware of the fun to be had with everyone downstairs. They don't want to miss out! Tonight I left J in his bouncer with his lullaby on and went to sort the washing. He was clearly bored as he fell asleep. Woke again when he went in the cot, but settled with my singing and rubbing his back.

Pikz (((hug)))

MM a good reason not to go: because you do not want to.

BP I think it is the soya. It all makes sense. He has been very acidy tonight.

QQ is omeprazole more effective once a day or twice a day? And if once, AM or PM?

I sold my Jumperoo today for 50% more than I bought it for. I was really sad to see it go, but it has gone a long way towards Christmas gifts. I have a budget of £25 per kid. It is amazing what you can get when you try to stick to a small budget.

The Book People have sets of Beatrix Potter and Thomas the Tank Engine and Mr Men and Little Miss books at amazing prices.

Anyway, must sleep. Goodnight.

(Worries as I have not noticed a post from Pass today)

He has just stomped out, not before pushing me into the wall.

I don't know what to do and I have totally brought this on myself.

Nearly forgot:

Kyz, it was lovely to hear you saying about wanting another baby. That shows just how more confident you are getting. It was not long ago you were saying you would never manage with two. Also you are not putting yourself down nearly as much. I am very proud of you my dear x

MM (((((hug)))) lock the door and do not let him in again is my advice, or go to stay with your mum or a friend.

And you have not brought this on yourself. He is an arse hole. It is NOT your fault.
