9.15am wake up! We nearly slept in for my pal's wedding!!! God I needed that. And it was DH's turn for a sleep in - haha good boy . Whatever has fucked up his sleep for the last ten days has left the building. I'm so having a Mars bar and Gregg's pasty combo tomorrow just as a scientific experiment you understand.

Thanks for the link MM
I never buy on eBay. Worry about being conned.

I can't remember anything else! Oh my silly mushed up head

Oh Fatima I know exactly how you feel. Only diff is since H FH doesn't ask to be picked up. I actually prefer picking him up. As then I dictated time and now I just have to hang about waiting.

So h bday last night went well. However I'm nackered. We hired a private room in a local Indian. It was just our parents , siblings and their kids. But that is 25 ppl. Ill put up a few pics later. Was lovely. H had a few moments. Think tiredness induced tears. But he enjoyed having such a big area to crawl around. And showed off his standing up and balancing skills

Hi guys! Not up to date on the posts on here as just lurk around on fb page. I need some help!!
On last Thursday Zara was taken to hospital with severe croup, we didn't get out until Sunday but the whole time we were in there I said her wee didn't smell right, was far too strong and smelt like a farm yard on sunday morning they decided test it and it showed up every possible thing it could. She was put on augmentin for 5 days and finished that this Thursday. The smell had cleared but have just changed her nappy and it's honking again. I'm a bit concerned that it's more than a urine infection and something to do with her kidneys possibly. Now do I take her back to children's ward and say it hasn't cleared up or just take her to docs in morning???

If I wanted to punish my DH for going out drinking I'd leave him with the kids and go out myself! He'd be over the moon if I went out with the kids and left him to recover from his hangover in peace. Both me and DH are quite big binge drinkers very rarely drink at home but when we go out its a different matter! However it is much more likely to be me that gets in a pickle. You'd think by now I'd know better! I still think I can drink as much as I did in my pre kid days. The problem is I still do drink as much, I just can't handle it as well. Hmmm not painting a pretty picture of myself am I. Obviously my big drinking nights out are few and far between ignores the hen do I'm going on next weekend.

charlee sorry to hear of poor Zara being poorly. If i was you I'd take her back to hosp and get another urine test done and ask for further investigations. Hope it amounts to nothing.

I uo would take her back if you are concerned charlee

I would too charlee. But I would probably phone ahead and talk to them rather than just turn up. So sorry to hear things aren't good.

I would call them charlee and see what they think but, personally, I would push for her to go back in for further tests. Have they given you an open door so to speak? It is likely to be nothing but you were right the first time so better to be safe

Remind me never to read the dating thread on the relationships board again - it's so depressing! Too many tales of disappointments and let downs - I'ts already made me feel disheartened about the whole process and I've barely started! Same for the single parents board - extremely depressing reading.

Absolutely stay away, you are a success chasing

Anyone want to place a bet on whether we will get our completion date tomorrow? Last week it was supposed to be Thursday 24th October (originally 26th September) but our buyers' solicitors keeping throwing obstacles in our way.

Just popping in to mark my place. Will attempt to go back and catch up at some point!

Just hope you don't get delayed anymore stunt is stressful and irritating.

Hello new thread.

Ear infection here, but he is a bit brighter with a few doses of antibiotics.

How is the leg Pass? I keep seeing it when I shut my eyes

I am so sorry to hear your news Apple (((((hug)))))

Hallos.

It is deroofed and on the mend thanks vq! My cocktail of ABs is making me feel a bit but hay ho. How is the wee man?

That is a really awful part of house purchasing stunt. I was about to write the most awful but realised that it is all pretty awful. I really, really hope that you get a completion date and get to move in very quickly.

Back to work tomorrow after a fantastic holiday. I think tomorrow might be hard. Better than it could be though as DH starts his 2 days a week of childcare so tomorrow should be a lovely relaxed start. We will wait and see.

chasing just bear in mind that people who have fantastic experiences are unlikely to spend much time sharing them.

I know many people who have happy and successful relationships through online dating. Keep your wits about you and don't engage too emotionally too quickly.

Nice to see you izzy.

Must stop being broody and jealous of the pregnant people. Must stop being broody and jealous of the pregnant people.

I met my husband through online dating. My cousin laughed at me , joined the same site and got married 6 weeks before us. My brother is currently smitten with a lady he has met through online dating. I had to kiss a few frogs though..

The wee man is asleep in bed next to me. Not too bad a day as the antibiotics are helping. He no longer seems to be in pain, just discomfort with the fever and his poor bum is suffering. He also has thrush on his willie. He will not go in his fucking cot though!

DH learned a valuable lesson today. Do not put a 11 month old baby on a sofa and walk out of the room. Twat.

Pass any idea what critter it was wot bit ya?

Doc said "a dirty beastie"

My other bites and DH's all came up with 'jelly tot' type blisters like PP had as well. All on legs. Mostly ankles.

Glad wee man is starting to mend. What is it with men, babies and the wonders of gravity?

Could you imagine leaving O on the sofa VQ?! That would end in A&E, I'm telling ya . I'm sure you made sure DH learned that lesson well! Glad to hear J is feeling a little better.

We are back to having the majority of days as whingy. I am going to assume it's the facial thrush. I've not given him dairy for 2 weeks, although he is having soya traces through bread.

Chasing Online dating is the way to go now. Yes, like VQ you may meet some frogs along the way, but you get some good stories to tell in the future! Just enjoy it, worry less, and keep the fuck away from the relationships board. Seriously. That board is fucking weird.

O is very good at no. Since he could sit up, he would shake his head in a 'nononono' kind of way whenever he didn't want something. It makes me giggle. I tried to show him yes by nodding up and down. It became O wobbling his head around 'noyesnoyesnoyes'. Dafty! Does anyone elses LO's do this? Have they learned yes?! It's his only communication really other than crying and then babbling - he doesn't have any clear words. Or I might be missing them. He went through baba, dada and mama, but not saying them at specific things, although he does seem to get that I am mama. He is on 'guh' at the moment!

In another development milestone, he managed to get the shapes on to the right hole on the vtech walker today. I was tres proud .

P shakes her head. Sometimes just for shit and giggles but she has a very definite 'no' shake. Usually to do with food.

All p's focus seems to be on moving and bashing shit about.

She does say "mumumumumumumumumum" when she is upset but there is nothing to suggest that she is asking for me. She also says "dadadadadadad" but again with no link to DH.

She squeals a very certain squeal at ageing pussy. And she points, dances and waves.

What are peoples thoughts on sugar?

I am a little confused.

Is it okay to add to things, as long as those things are given in moderation?

I buy sugar free stuff for me and DP, DS has those things too. But O shouldn't be having them, he should be having the full versions of things (if he is having them).

So I wanted to make him custard, but the one we have you add sugar too. Is that okay? It's not very nice without it.

What about jelly? I wanted to make some for his birthday, but we have the sugar free stuff. So I make the normal version for the babies?

Cakes, I am going to make some muffins, plus a small birthday cake. Sugar okay in that, yes?

Can anyone give an example menu of what their LO's have in a week please? I am struggling with variety again, given the dairy free again. He's having lots of sandwiches, pasta, peas and sweetcorn, sausages, potatoes, chicken and cucumber, (in varying ways!). We still make one meal a week that gets frozen, so he has a variety of mushed up things in the freezer. He has 1-2 pouches of EK or similar a week. Snacks are raisins, bananas, banana 'crisps', rice cakes, breadsticks.

It feels so boring for him, as each week is the same almost. We do make new things, but to be quite honest, our food bill is astronomical thanks to doing slimming world, plus O's dietary requirements. Most of our meals are completely unsuitable. He has one meal a week the same as us (roast dinner) the rest he can't have.

Please help!

What are your thoughts on how much in the 'treat' department is 'moderation'?

I allow one item a day, maximum, and try to have days where there are no sugary type things.

Today he had weetabix with a mashed banana for breakfast, EK pouch and homemade banana muffin for lunch, raisins and breadsticks for snacks this afternoon, and roast dinner (parsnip, roast potato, carrot, swede, sprouts, chicken mushed up plus sausages for finger food) this evening. I figure that he has had lots of fruit/veg, so a small treat as part of a meal is okay?
