Oh Pidj that's so shit. I'm really sorry.

Glad you finally got her off WL, terrible teething here too tonight but all that wailing made him very tired and he fell asleep around 8.

Just before he fell asleep we were lying face to face on my bed and he snuggled up to me, put my chin in his mouth and blew a raspberry. Then he giggled at himself. It was fantastic

Xpost Pidj. That's even shitter

Oh no pidj that's awful news. With the exception of the wonderful and joyous R you've had a pretty tough year. Will you have enough money coming in to survive ok? Dp must be feeling pretty rotten too. Hugs all round.

Oh Pidj i don't know what to say heres some and

WL i hope T sleeps the whole night now to make up for a bad time settling her.

Lazza i hope your in a better mood now.

Beasty mmm cheese on toast now i'm hungry.

We're having a bad time due to DP's ex we're banned from seeing DSD and haven't seen her for 5 werks now despite the previous arrangement being DP had her every weekend. We can't afford to take her to court about it. Shes slagging me off all over and sending messages to my friends about how i'm the scum of the earth. This is a woman whom i have never met or spoke to! Shes telling people i've sent her nasty messages as if i'm that pathetic!! All this because we've refused to tell her my income. I am so upset for DP he asked if we could take DSD to centre parcs to be told that DSD already has a family and doesn't need another one! All this is making him feel like giving up i have no idea how to help him.

Barely. Haven't quite used all the saving yet thankfully so we won't starve for a couple of months yet. Have got a couple of bits for R for Christmas and birthday so that's covered at least.

Pidge - I'm another one who really doesn't know what to say. Life is so unfair sometimes. Here's some and lots of positive wishes that things start to go your way soon.

Hales - that sounds incredibly tough too. Have you tried posting on the legal board - there's a couple of really good family law bods over there? Alternatively I'm happy to pm you with a couple of thoughts (no magic solutions though, wish there was).

Feel free to PM me Ispy i've ummed and awwwed about putting it on legal as i'm not sure if the ex will find it. I highly doubt she will but not sure yet.

H was such a fidget in bed last night again. I can't wait to get back from centre parcs and hopefully sleep train her back into her cot.

Ok will do Hales though it might be later on when I'm not being clambered on by boys and can string a proper sentence together

Thank You Ispy.

H has just face planted the wall so hard her nose bled.

Spotty if your back on MN i hope your getting plenty of rest.

pidj I'm so sorry. Happy birthday to R!
hales that sounds dreadful. Can citizens advice help?

With dsd not poor H's nose!

I hadn't even thought of that WL i'll suggest it to DP. Thank you

R is having a lovely day although his teeth are bothering him again. Lots of lovely presents and we had cake at bf group too - i used apricot puree instead of jam so the icing could be taken off and the babies could have minimal sugar :)

Is it R's birthday, today Pidj. If so Happy Birthday R

Yes, 1 today :)

T has only eaten a few bites of actual food today. not overly bothered about extra boob either.

Happy birthday R! We need a party blower emoticon.

Poor H Hales, J face planted this morning as he tried to crawl while holding a pair of stolen knickers in each hand (he loves emptying my underwear drawer). I was less than sympathetic.

Super whingy baby here today. He's driven me a little crazy with his continuous whining to be picked up. DP's doing bedtime and I'm off to do an awful aerobics class to blow the cobwebs off me. Wish me luck!

Happy birthday R, and fingers crossed your luck changes soon Pidj

A was hit in the nose by a torch, and DD was flailing around on the sofa and rolled off it, landing on A this evening. He's fine though, wandering around playing with his noisy toys and fiddling with the sound system so I can't watch tv!

Shuddering at the memories of aerobics classes.

Willyou i'm sure we have the same baby, H has been a super clingy whingy baby today.

Can't lift my legs! Perversely feeling quite good!

I do kickboxing, aerobics etc piss me off with the inability to move in time to the music

I need the music to keep me going Pidj otherwise I just give up 10 minutes in. I'm a lazy cow at heart but I can get a bit addicted to exercise once I force myself to go.

I have a working phone! Insurance well worth it this time, and bomb proof case as well.

Just catching up pidj, happy late birthday to R, can't believe it. I'm glad he had a happy day (so much better than O's Dec 27th date, which I will probably always feel guilty about. ) really sorry to hear about your dp though, hugs [tea] (not Iin the same glass) and sympathy for the luck you've had with all this. Not helpful but maybe you're due a really good 2014 instead? Is there anything we can do to help?
will you, I know that perverse achey pleasure! Been too busy to run for the last few months and it's freezing and 8pm by the time O is asleep..

Sorry for the nose Hales, and on the ghastly ex front, I have a friend who had to tackle her dh's ex for the same thing, I can ask what they did as they're not rolling in cash for legal purposes? Pm if it would help?

Poor T, wl, O has been unable to put down without waking for a week now so I have been forced into cuddles over the cot top till he gives up and goes to sleep on his own. I am playing him Alphabet Zoo by Ralph McTell, which seems to help.

Been awol for a while, trying to catch up...

Belated birthday wishes to R, pidj! Really hope the tide turns for you and your family .

Hope spotty is improving.

hales sorry to hear about stress with dp's ex. Don't people realise its the dc's who suffer the most?

And hugs to everyone with poorly/teething babies.

R has been super clingy and whiny over last few days. His stools are still quite loose, hoping its the back teeth coming through as he's been quite dribbly too.

Work is really busy but determined not to be stressed by it.
