zamboni from your post I have deciphered that its S's birthday today? Or is it tomorrow? Whichever, happy birthday s.

After izzys post I am paranoid about missing quiche babies birthdays but I have to admit I have no clue at all when any of them are I'm so sorry. It doesn't mean that I don't care about them or you. I have trouble enough remembering friends DC's birthday. Awful!

evil I am so pleased for you. Woooo hoo

jj sounds nasty. I think you'll have to miss the party in afraid.

Izzy i think i did it on fb, but have no concept of who is who between there and here. I also frequently feel ignored probably because i whinge all the time, forget people and am a big fat pita

JJ quarantine, you'll wreck things more by passing on a nasty virus to vulnerable elderlies than by the short term fuss of not going.

Shattered and fucked off here. Rang my mum this morning to see if she'd like to take R for a bit as it's been weeks since i had so much as 5 minutes apart from him and she got me to take my gran to the church fete instead because she (mum) is too tired. He's now in his cot refusing to sleep, and I'm more exhausted than i ever thought possible. Dp is at work and plans to run tomorrow morning so will be too tired to take over at any point, so that's the 3rd weekend in a row that I've had no respite. Think i might need to throw a tantrum again which i hate doing - why, in the middle of telling me how hard parenting is, can she not just fucking do something to fucking help?

Pidj you sound like you desperately need a break. I wish you had more support from your Mum. I have a horrendous relationship with my Mother so I can empathise. My stepmum is currently moaning about needing a break from their dog. As if it's the same as having a kid

Never mind quiche babies, I keep getting confused about when Oscar's birthday is. I get mixed up between the 27th (the day I was induced) and the 28th (the day he was born). Doesn't help that he was born just after midnight either. I have told at least 3 different people over the past month that his birthday is the 27th

So, was supposed to have a lunch date today. Was part of the way through my two bus journey to the date venue when he text to say that his car had broken down so he couldn't make lunch....He said it would be fixed later this afternoon so we could maybe meet up later. I told him I wasn't making that journey twice in a day so we would have to meet closer to where I live. He is going to let me know later when he knows about his car. Anyway, I took myself shopping and spent money that I don't have to make myself feel better. There's a lovely vintage fair on in MK which was my idea of heaven.

kyz looks like you are having a shite time of it

Happy birthday minigazelle

pidj too

jj too

Are you and yours better now PR?

PP I vote for a tantrum. And I think mine would be aimed at VVVDP. I am not sure I would be happy that he expends all his energy on a run so he could not help me. If he gets that wiped out I am not sure the run is is good for him tbh. I would tell him not to go for a run and to look after R instead so you can rest or go out.

Happy birthday little gazelle x

I got angry with DH as he is expending all his energy making fucking bread when he could be letting me sleep. I then go up for a nap and am woken by him shouting at DD2 for doing a poo just after he took her to the loo. She had a nappy on, and has the bug so it is not her fault.

I'm good thanks. DD1 still has icky eyes but I can't get the drops in any tips ? Brute force and blackmail not working. Gentle persuasion didn't work either.

LO is still eczema covered but ok in herself. Tooth 7 popped out overnight. That's 5 in two weeks. Number 8 imminent.

Took them both shopping this morning and they were angelic

Vvvdp needs to run to prove that he still can iyswim. He's very fit and loves his exercise so being physically unable is hitting him hard. Might persuade him to take the buggy though my mum annoys me most,telling me how hard kids are/how much her mum helped/how she hasn't seen him for a whole week - then she's too tired or busy to see us we have a good relationship it's just frustrating

Izzy noone said happy bday to H a few weeks ago. But didn't bother me as I have enough issues remembering bday in RL let alone here and on FB.

Crying baby.

chasing you said 27th to me.

pidj I emphasise. I have no respite apart from one night a month. It's hard. Throw a tantrum in my name too.

O's speech is amazing currently. She says hard words and can't stop talking. I have headache today as all I can hear is her talking.

Anyone uses tesco value nappies? They are not bad. We are in washable most of the time but the last couple of days her poos are horrendous so using disposables. I don't like the fastening bit but as far as absorbs nice goes it really is as good as aldi nappies. So far.

See, told you I was rubbish at being a parent. Maybe I should get the date tattooed on me.

Erm, I haven't caught up yet, off out to a bonfire party, it's basically a rave in a field at my cousins il's mansion! I've got my wellies on already with the excitement haha!

gazelle I have forgotten what you have nc to but happy birthday to S, hope he and dd enjoys his their cake

Hia.

I know it beaks my MIL'a heart that she isn't closer and can't help and see more of P pp - I think you mum simply doesn't realise just how lucky she is to have you so close. I vote tantrum.

We have been to ikea buying p's birthday present which is a mini-poang chair. I suspect that ageing pussy will get more use out of it but if if makes one of the daughters happy . . .

P had some meatballs and chips - very happy girl. The sauce is a cream sauce. She had next to none but it will be interesting to see how she goes. I am now 99% certain she has grown out of the intolerance. Still not planning to give her a mass of dairy very quickly though as it is hard to digest anyway. Makes life easier not having to label check all the time though.

Although we are sitting in the car waiting for DH to come out of costco and she is letting out some rippers

So I've been stood up. A complete waste of my precious Saturday. Am mightily pissed off.

Lily i think I'd cope better if it were a formal thing, or if i weren't expecting it, i certainly used to be happier lone working and over ratio than have agency needing constant supervision. It's the waltzing round all caring granny bit that pisses me off! She's taking him Wednesday so i can give blood though, and vvvdp is off on a 3 mile power walk in the Forest with him tomorrow so it's not all bad. Think I'm just struggling to adjust to not having dp around most of the time, it's come a bit later for me than for most

I might just not get round to ringing for a few days, be a bit less available...

Chasing

It's ok pidj. I am really ok with it, I don't know it differently.

So what are we all do tonight? And who is the girliest girl in the quiche? My girl hates dressing up and down so need someone to tell her that clothes are fun. And don't tell me to have it as a blessing and it will change later, I KNOW that but right now the tears in the morning, after bath, anytime just getting on my nerves .

And my plan is to sit on sofa, watch rubbish telly and read pointless threads.

Very chasing but obviously better of without him. Onwards and upwards. Big hugs.

Am looking for a good comedy on netflix for DH and I to both enjoy. Pany ideas?

pidj well done for giving blood. I find it hard not having any family nearby, but easier in other ways. When I lived in Paris I flew home every three months, but from here it is a huge journey so don't. I feel like I have missed out on so many family things. I hardly know my nephews and always wonder every time I leave if I will see my granny again.

chasing think of all the time you have not wasted discovering he is a cunt. Next! :o

Tonight we are watching the football and then whatever is on. Just about to do a shallot sauce for steak and saute potatoes. Red wine is open. Trying to work out what to do tomorrow, in the rain, no shops open. The girls go mad if we stay in.

DD1 isn't veryy girly, but is girlier than me. I can count the number of times I have worn full makeup. Less than 10 in my life. And it has always been applied by friends or pros. Ditto with dresses, though I am lusting after the Desigual label and want to buy their full range, including dresses. Need to win lottery. sophia I saw one the other day on line which would suit your colouring, as you were looking. They're a little bit different but I love them.

Tomorrow I might take DD1 to the pool. Might. The interweb has mixed opinions on whether eczema babies should go in
A chlorinated pool. I'd be inclined to go for it but DH is lazy reluctant.

Not caught up proper, but wow Lily words!!, what does she say? We have a proper Daddy and Mumumum. I use Tesco value nappies. Come up a bit small, so buy a bigger size than usual. They are great.

DD2 has just vommed everywhere. She has been fine since Friday morning so what is that all about??? And her poo is like water.

R likes getting dressed, i blow raspberries and sing songs at him though. Also peekaboo with vests/tee shirts. Trousers go on standing up, socks and shoes as we're about to go out of the door.

I Will be finishing a reindeer hat and starting a Christmas tree

PR can you go on a bear hunt through some woods? Teddy bear's picnic?
