I'm having one of those days that seem to be about dealing with other creatures' bodily fluids - and shit and vomit in particular! Envy This is the glamorous side of motherhood everyone raves about isn't it? Hmm

PetiteRaleuse · 17/10/2013 12:38

Sympathies yw I just cleaned up a load of cat vom.

PetiteRaleuse · 17/10/2013 12:39

I'm still mortified by yesterday's adventures

Donnadoon · 17/10/2013 13:20

PetiteRaleuse · 17/10/2013 13:24

She's not contagious.

We've got the mmrv on Tuesday, considering asking for the flu one. Will bring her down from birthday highs Hmm

Donnadoon · 17/10/2013 13:26

Thanks PR
And as for bday highs that is why I didnt get her done last week, although she was a bit snotty last week too.

Is anyone thinking of asking for the MMR to be given in a separate session to the other two jags? It just seems harsh to whack him with five things in one go? (not meaning separate MMR jags)

fatima check fb before you buy Wink

Cat vom here too Envy

MissMummy1 · 17/10/2013 14:06

Hope the house move went well pennie

I am now not insured on my car and there's been a delay in some paperwork so I can't pick my new one up till tomorrow night. Hmmph. So DP is going to be running me around all afternoon for work Smile.

Fatima check out Arnold Clarke. I have so far bar the ballsed up paperwork but that was sort of our fault been super impressed with their service! They are also giving us a brand new car for the same price - and indeed cheaper finance package - as the identical 4yo one I wanted! And thrown in a few freebie extras Grin

Sophia it is quiet Sad

Oh and we weren't going to have a first birthday party but after lots of invites we are now feeling a bit obliged to do something, so I think we are going to have a ladybird themed tea party for a few mummy and baby friends. I start work the day before her actual birthday Sad

StuntNun · 17/10/2013 14:39

YW iirc the symptoms from the MMR (if any) take longer to appear so it might not be as bad as you think.

PetiteRaleuse · 17/10/2013 15:38

Yy DD1 had a fever about a week after the mmrv and slight measle type rash. Was well in herself though.

FatimaLovesBread · 17/10/2013 16:22

Bollocks. Just thought it was an hour later than it is Sad DH is working late and I'm having a shitter of a day. Thought it was 4:45 then looked and it was 3:45 Sad

Will have a look at that link pp thanks

Mm I got our current car from Arnold Clark and looking back wasn't too chuffed with their sales technique. But we've one near us so we will probably look their again.

I'm having a bit of a BF wobble. Think I'm getting a bit touched out and feel like she's constantly grabbing my boobs. I feel like a milking machine at the moment

YellowWellies · 17/10/2013 16:32

Fatima are you ovulating? - I swat his roving bra twanging hands when I'm ovulating Blush as that's the time of the month I get touched out.

MM yep to Arnold Clark - I guess they're a big popular dealer for a reason - they're prices are hard to beat we were really impressed too. I found their salesmen less pushy than other places but I guess it depends on the local branch. Bet you can't wait to have a spin!

Just in from a 5 mile walk. Betsy snoozing, Bear not Confused m'eh you win some you lose some. Coq au vin in the oven since 2 - smells fab!

PetiteRaleuse · 17/10/2013 16:41

Oh yum coq au vin it is AGES since I had that. Might do it on Saturday for birthday dinner. Lovely warming winter food.

ChasingDaisy · 17/10/2013 17:19

Just checking in. Had a lovely day with Lily and Olivia today. Oscar adored Olivia, who is a very very clever girl. He didn't stop smiling all day Smile And Lily is as awesome as you would think she is Grin

ChasingDaisy · 17/10/2013 17:35

Oh and plans are confirmed for my date. Next Saturday. Country walk and drinks/food in a country pub. I now also have his phone number. And will of course be shopping for a new outfit next week Grin

MadameGazelleIsMyMum · 17/10/2013 18:27

Sounds like a nice date chasing. Glad you and lily had a good time.

Can someone please tell me to grow a pair? I'm struggling to say no to someone, about something I was supposed to do as a favour over the summer only, which is still ongoing. I don't want to do it anymore. I thought I had properly manned up as today I said "after [date] I won't be able to do x because of y". Have just been told that y doesn't matter so I can carry on. Now is the time to just employ the MN Classic "that doesn't work for me", isn't it? But it feels rude. I don't want to get into reasons why because the other person will just find loopholes. Seriously. WTAF is wrong with me? I tell people things they don't want to hear a lot at work. But something for me ? Can't do it.

Passmethecrisps · 17/10/2013 18:51

madam I would be the same. In this situation (as an outsider - I would fail at this completely) the only thing to do is be honest and say you don't want to do it. The person who didn't note your 'that doesn't work because of y' was being deliberately obtuse.

Hooray to a date chasing! You are such a gorgeous woman in all ways - I love that you are dipping your toe in the water.

Hadn't thought about the MMR actually. Probably purely for convenience we will stick with 1 jag. Hopefully she will be ok

And that is interesting about ovulation and being all 'touched out'. I am not very touchy feely at the best of times but I know sometimes I could practically get myself barbed wire to keep folk off me! I would be interested to see if there is a link.

Well, that is family crisp back of haggis soil. Is was lovely to be away but lovely to be home. P was a champion again on the plane. After a shaky start where I realised that she and I were in a window seat hemmed in by DH and a massively tall business man. Because of the man's massive long legs I didn't feel we could ask him to swap and the poor bugger had another baby right across the aisle! Well, she cried a bit with tiredness and squirmed for a few minutes but then slept for over an hour. The rest of the time she smiled and cooed at business man and waved at the other baby. Thank goodness because I was pretty anxious at the beginning. I have massive respect for people like lily who travel alone with babies because it is really hard!

MadameGazelleIsMyMum · 17/10/2013 19:14

Glad the hol was good and you survived the flight! That's exactly it pass the person was deliberately being obtuse. If someone said that to me, I'd back off. But this entitled nightmare person needs it spelling out. I need to get over the fact it makes me very uncomfortable and be direct, and worry less about the effect of being explicit as this person is obviously so unconcerned with me. Aaaaahhhhhh!!!! Grin

Passmethecrisps · 17/10/2013 19:25

Once. Once, have I actually been honest to someone about why I didn't want to continue with something work wise. I tried the gentle approach and giving self-derogatory reasons (I wouldn't do it justice etc) and he kept pushing and pushing. I ended up so annoyed that I ended up laying into the whole project, saying it had been miss-sold, that it was patronising (a certificate, anyone?) and expensive, over-hyped shite. I walked away upset and he was completely and utterly astonished. Glad I did it though Grin

Pikz · 17/10/2013 19:44

I can't do it either. It's constantly brought up at my reviews... Stop being so nice.

PetiteRaleuse · 17/10/2013 19:58

Sounds lovely chasing but can I put in a tiny word of caution ? You need his full name, number, and to give it to someone else before going on a country walk with him. And a text to that person to say you are back in a safe place. Would offer services but texting France would be expensive.

But yay for country walk and food and drink. My ideal date :)
