Internet is being crap and have kost count of lost posts now, so hope this one makes it.
humpty I am sorry your mum is being such a source of stress. Like toby says, going no contact is a tough decision to have to make and it is a shame she has brought it to this, but really you don't need the stress. Talk to her again when you feel ready.
The black poos are annoying aren't they? Hope you are off the tablets and feeling well soon.
Thanks for your reply on the LL nappy thread. I tried to reply several times but internet not cooperating. 
The nappy lady ended up recommending terry squares or flips but I can't be arsed with the former (and wouldnt work out much cheaper) and she can't ship me the latter because I am outside the UK. So I am more and more convinced of my choice of a mix of size 2 LL bamboo shaped nappies with motherease airflow wraps and LL all in one pocket nappies which will be slimmer over clothes and easier for nursery. I also love LL because they are from Ammanford. Any place that produces a player like Shane Williams can't be bad. It would work out about the same or cheaper than her recommendations too. Will be starting them when I finish the disposables we have, which won't be for another six weeks!
toby I saw you are using the LL bamboo nappies and like them. N is very prone to heat rash, do you think they would be suitable for an Egyptian summer? Think 40 degrees, though we will of course be using air conditioning when possible and mostly going out after dark.
Glad the GCSE evening went well, I hope M is happier and more settled with the gaviscon and you have good news from the paediatrician.
nature I had to get glasses right after having DD too, but still don't wear them regularly because as soon as DD stopped whacking her face off the corners of the frames she started nicking them and breaking off the pads. Hopefully O won't be such a terror but I would recommend choosing frames that dont't have too sharp a corner round the hinges because N keeps smacking his head off mine so have had to abandon them for the time being or take them off every time I pick him up, which gives DD a golden opportunity to get up to no good. As soon as she puts them on she is Mummy and I am her and she tells me off and tries to send me to bed. I felt so bad the first time she did it because I realised how much I must shout at her.
Felix hope the bednest arrives today! I felt so 
for you yesterday.
mythree sorry you are having a crap time. N does the wide awake thing too, usually acoompanied by a massive smile so I can't even be cross, but the shameful truth is that I still find DD and DH much more taxing and time consuming so am quite pleased to have time for myself with N when they have conked out.
DH keeps swanning off to things in the evening too and I understand why but still feel jealous and envious because I can't. It isn't helped by him losing his temper with DD every time he tries to help out and making everything worse. . Have decided that most of the time his help isn't worth it.
I have written so many posts I can't remember which if any actually posted, but we will be going back to Egypt this summer and now need to apply for schools for DD. I hate how stressed it makes me and as she is only three I think all this evaluating and interviewing is bollocks. It makes me that kids are pressured at such a young age for access to what should be a universal right.
Will also have to find a job as soon as we get back to pay the school fees whereas I was hoping to wait til N turned one because he will be our last baby so wanted to enjoy him a bit first. Hey ho.
