Piglet has pox inside her mouth, and nappy rash so bad it's bleeding - not a happy girl. Poor dh has earned himself some v's but is exhausted - hes had quite a day of it.

PR hope dd1 was ok in the end - luckily they're easily distracted at her age.

Chasing watch out MK! Sounds very exciting - and no doubt it will give you lots of independence once you pass your test.

Sorry to hear there are so many grumpy babies - challenging times eh?

Nice one pidj - no harm in a bit of negotiation. DH always says you don't get if you don't ask - very true although I am cowardly by nature

Well done PP. nothing wrong with negociation. As a boss I never mind being asked and don't think it's cheeky. Crossing everything.

Poor poor piglet :(

Massive bruise on my knee from crawling races with L. Clearly he won.

Good luck pennie Hope it all goes smoothly.

That's exciting chasing are you looking forward to the driving lesson?

Aww poor piglet. That doesn't sound very pleasant.

DP had the RSPCA call round today. FFS. Apparently someone reported him for kicking our dog They said it was supposed to have happened last Thursday at 3 when both DP and I were at work. Why do people make up shit like that? The dog jumped up at DP while the man was here and kept trying to play with him. He said he looks healthy and well looked after and doesn't have any concerns. Too right.

The more I think about the RSPCA thing the more it upsets me. Our dog is as much a part of the family as C. I think of them both as my babies and neither of us would ever do anything to hurt him

Poor wee piggy. Sounds awful.

Not cheeky pp. I think that's your right!

It was lovely to see you both yw!

Fingers crossed pp

I passed my test last year chasing I was 33 weeks pg, think I only passed because the examiner felt sorry for me I can't afford a car so am still on the bus but it's nice to know I've got my licence.

Poor little pig, I really hope she's better soon pig that must be awful for her.

Oh no apple well I'm glad they saw how well looked after the dog is. I just don't understand why some people do the things they do.

Been back to the opthalmologist. The oedema has gone. The fact it reacted so quickly to treatment indicates for him for some kind of autoimmunity issue.

Keep me away from Dr Google.

Will mention it to my GP next week.

Ginge any kind of inflammation will settle with steroids (I think that's what they gave you?) - could be anything, including small foreign body/abrasion with associated swelling and pain. Autoimmune things tend to be less focal. And def steer clear of dr google.

Having a total mare of a bedtime here. Disaster of the highest order.

pig betwwen pregnancies I had sore wrists. I still do. Was supposed to get xrays done but I had to cancel due to pregnancy. Gp suspected some kind of arthritis. I s'pose I'd better mention that to new gp. V bad atm with the bad weather.

ginge Google is not your friend. Glad it has cleared up.

A work colleague announced her pregnancy today. Her DD is a year old and only two months older than C. I'm so jealous I found it difficult not to show it and surprised myself with how strongly I felt.

Don't worry I'm not going to google. Anyway, it's gone. I can ignore it now

week 3 of nursery and my two are full of snot. When I start saying I will take them out of nursery to stop them getting ill please remind me how much we all hated me being a sahm.

Sorry the piglet has the pox. Better now than later? Dd1 is vaccinated but LO will be done at 12 mo. I know there was a bit of for and against on fb the pox vaccination but I'm still going to do it.

Tis pissing it down with rain here. Aibu to be glad and to be obsessing over the soups, pies and casseroles that autumn will bring? I love autumn.

And the chimney is being swept next week ready for the fires. Will take dd1 to the forest at the weekend to collect wood. She loved that last year. Have to do it before the hunting season starts. Not only do I not want to be shot but the boar go silly during the hunting season (can't blame them) and I HATE wild boar except on a plate

Ahh I'd LOVE a big open fire. ginger that sounds like my idea of heaven, going to collect wood for my very own fire.
I love winter and can't wait to wrap S up all cosy and go for walks in the cold. I much prefer winter to summer.

Ah poor wee piglet Hope it clears up soon. It takes me back to when E had it. It's not nice at all but once it's done it's done tries not to think about my friend whose 2 DD's got it twice.

chasing Good luck with the driving lessons. Being able to drive brings so much more independance I find. And enjoy the cinema. I love the cinema and quite fancy that film. Sadly none of my friends do. Perhaps I should take a leaf out of your book and go alone. My friend does it a lot. I don't know why I never do!

pr Been pissing it down all day here too. I hate it though. I don't mind the autumn/winter when it's bright and cold so you can just wrap up and go out. The constant grey that we get in the uk gets me down. shudders at memory of last winter and prays this winter is kind to us.

pennie Good luck. Look forward to hearing about your adventures in a couple of weeks.

apple what an awful thing for somebody to do. I hope that's the end of it.

fruit the fireplace is one of the reasons we moved here. I love it but with the girls it scares me. We can't find the right fireguard. They have those huge ones that you canfix to the wall, but we aren't allowed to fix thing to the wall. So I think fires will be limited to once they are in bed.

Oh, that's true, but just think in a couple of years, freezing cold, coming up to Christmas with the Christmas tree lights on and a big roaring fire. I think I've just invited me and S for Christmas at yours haha

apple what a horrible horrible thing to have happen. I was so sad reading that anyone could be so cruel as to accuse your DP of that

I am very jealous of YW and pass ' rendezvous and a little jealous I didn't think to gatecrash

Speaking of which, YW are you going to be at your DSis' tomorrow. My mum can't make it but we could pop by for an hour or so? I need to be away about 2.30ish as working earlier than normal. Anyway, would be lovely to catch up. Aulay dog is allowed out a week tomorrow - the rest of this week is a bit nuts but could introduce you to the furry shark next week?

I have felt snotty and worn down all day. Today I mostly hate being a mum/house wife/dog owner/responsible adult. Woe is me.

Hiya all - I expect this will be epic so feel free to ignore me :)

Thanks for the buggy recommendations :) Still not sure what i'll go for but I need to save up for it anyway or ask for one for xmas from dp but it's good to have some ideas of what is out there and is quiche tried and tested.

chasing Sounds fab, you'll have a very good friend at the very least, then :) E is ff in his pushchair and has been for ages - he prefers looking out.

evil i'm sure it'll just be a passing phase, bless him. E isn't really fussed when I go I don't think. He is bothered when a door is shut, but not because I'm on the other side of it, more because he is then contained! Det O sounds like a very confident little boy I wouldn't worry about him at all!

Hope L is better soon jj sounds like you've had a nice time though :)

I watched strictly, having never ever seen it before watched it because of rod stewart performing and I am quite taken and may watch it again next week! Well, i'll record it as me and dp have been together 10 years on saturday so i probably should do something else other than watch tv!

Sounds like a fab nursery pr, it's great they are spending so much time with LO to help her settle. Sounds like a great menu too!

You sound very busy horsey hope you get some time out soon to spend with e :)

hugs bplp hope F is feeling better soon! Sorry to read much further down the fred about the pox :( wank!

fatima all the bloody time, my sister is a PITA and I quite often want to tell her so!

aw kirrin accidents happen, glad N is fine bless her. You are doing great :)

hey wellie and choc :)

Choc I am finding the same thing, E has been in summery things for ages now and all the long sleeved things he has are 9-12 and I had to squeeze him in one today, so I will need to get him some more asap! He has no long sleeved vests but I've recently bought socks and he has quite a few pairs of trousers.

glad you're ok vq

Chasing i'm sorry you struggled so much yesterday - sounds like today has been better though? Please do keep posting. I am sorry if anything I have said has ever upset you - i do try not to offend/upset anyone when I post but it's bound to have happened once or twice :(

equally pp I don't mean to ignore you about r's sleep ever, but I don't want you to think i'm being... forgot the word... sarcastic? not quite but similar, if i say i'm sorry to read about r's sleep and i really am sorry you're not getting much sleep still and then mention in other posts e sleeps well etc. Does that makes sense?

hugs and all round methinks. I hope to have not offended anyone in the quiche or indeed pissed anyone off. I am definitely one for doing my fair share of whinging even if my issues seem like nothing to others (and I agree, sometimes I get really worked up about the tiniest things) and I apologise for that. I don't know. I always felt like the quiche was the place I could vent and moan about anything/mention/talk about everything.

lily so sad about the dog :(

pr wish e would hold his own bottles lol he will sometimes hold it for a bit of the morning one but doesn't often. Mind you he won't be a baby for much longer and I like that he still needs me for things.

Sorry about the shit night pp was it much better after you checked his nappy?

yw oh yes, E definitely was plotting and now he can stand up and grab things he is into EVERYTHING!

eliza hope the powder works in e's food

pp vicar was very lucky getting that wave!

e has the bottom two teef but only just, one you can feel more than the other.

good luck pennie!!!

glad the interview went well pp if you don't ask you don't get, so i don't see why it'd be cheeky to ask :)

oh bplp poor f :(

grrr apple how bloody annoying, and really daft! You know you haven't hurt him and that's what matters most :)

hope vq and stunt are both ok!

can't remember what else i was going to say, i am sure there's more but this has probably been a long enough post!!

Kyz if you've ever offended anyone I'll eat my hat - you're lovely.

BP get well soon piglet! Well done Daddy Pig for awesome sickbed care .

Apple that's awful . Poor mutley and poor DH being accused of something so sick.

PP negotiate away - it's easier to wangle what you want at this stage - so I'd just ask and see what they say.

MM we all have days like that when I know personally I'd happily be an irresponsible teen again hope you feel better tomo and yip I'll be at my sister's in the afternoon. With new buggy which makes the bear look like a teeny tiny half pint! He's errr, got lots of room to grow into it! Can't wait to meet your furry land shark next week Monday or Friday works well for me. Fancy a walk?

Jonas has eaten a bit of banana soreen, a small handful of cherry tomatoes, some cheerios and enough fruit puree to get his omeprazole into him - but no other solids. No real meal at all - just hours of BF. His tum was rumbling when I put him to bed but he just wouldn't touch solids today. Teef? Eegad I'm going to see him all night aren't I? Poor sausage.

In out, in out and shakes it all about

Perfect, I'll aim to be with you for 1.30ish. Will double check with work for next week but Friday could be a goer. Being of lab origin Aulay-dog isn't allowed to walk for further than 5 mins per month (so about 10-15mins roughly just now) but a walk would be lovely!

kyz Strictly isn't on again till 27th September so you'll be ok to celebrate your anniversary in style

And I do love your epic posts.
