Not so bothered about the weight, we're not travelling anywhere and don't use the bus. its the size packed down plus the funkyness that suits me.

We're going on sat 16th August. Hatfield House is a bit further than last year but driving instead of train which is easier for us.

BuntyCollocks · 31/03/2014 14:38

Oooh, I really fancy lollibop - I take it it's a good weekend, Juniper?

My toddler is also mad as a mad thing. It's brilliant, but bloody hard work. Look at my gorgeous girl!

I am procrastinating. I have no BAU work to do atm, so should send out some follow up emails on my project work, but tbh we had a shit night last night sleep wise, I'm running on 3 hours sleep and diet coke, and I CBA.

glorious I hope you get the sleeping/night feeding sorted, and feel better. :(

Beautiful Smile

We had enormous fun last year with a nearly-3yr old (didn't take Daniel, he stayed home with Nana). I would say about 18m onwards is about right. Mr Tumble was good, as was Andy and Sid from Cbeebies more mothers than children in that tent Blush Very commercial of course. Lots of opportunities to spend money on tat.

Dan had a full-on tantrum when we left mothercare this morning. He was happily playing with the wooden train set and flatly refused to go in his pushchair - threw himself flat out on the floor! So he got carried out under MIL's arms screaming wildly Grin.

Ah Bunty Cameron is a little beauty! Love her little outfit as well :)

Fourlegs how are you doing?

As usual I'm very behind on the thread... Glorious how are you? It sounds incredibly tough but keep it up, sounds like you're getting somewhere if E went 10 hours without milk. Take care of yourself though. Thinking of you and sending you Flowers decaff Brew Cake and most importantly Wine. Let me know when you're up for another meet-up.

I'd love to go to Lollibop (and more importantly think DD would enjoy it too Grin) maybe we could have a mass meet-up there?!

My little madam had two nights of sleeping through at the weekend after weeks of horrendousness and I stupidly dared to think "maybe we've turned a corner" and then last night was back to waking every hour and ended up in our bed Hmm

DP got back late last night after his 4 day stag do and has been told by work he has to go to networking events tomorrow and Wednesday night. I am Angry and told him "NO". To be fair he doesn't want to go either.

glorious · 31/03/2014 17:43

Awh thanks for all the lovely messages everyone, you've made me feel a bit teary clearly need more sleep!

lolli she tends to wake at 1030/11ish anyway so have been feeding her then until the weekend, so don't think that'd help, though I do see what you mean about it being better than 1. Perhaps once we've got one feed established I'll move it that way rather than towards morning though, as you're right that it would be better. Beyond that her waking is too erratic for wake to sleep, though we did try it to get rid of regular evening waking with little success. Thanks for the ideas though Smile

juniper that's exactly what I needed to hear. I just feel so terrible and like she's being horribly traumatised by being comforted by her dad. I know that's stupid Confused

And yes please to another meet up juniper and tugs, you can tell me how much less tired I look when I've cracked it!

Sorry for bad nights bunty and tugs Brew

Yes, how are you fourlegs ?

glorious · 31/03/2014 17:45

Oh and hooray for back carries juniper ! What cracked it for you?

LetThereBeCupcakes · 31/03/2014 18:45

I've somehow ended up with the desktop site on my phone. How on earth do I change it back? Help!

meringue33 · 31/03/2014 20:37

Try logging out and closing the browser, Lolli?

Sending so many hugs your way Glorious. Really hope the situation picks up soon.

Cameron looks gorgeous, Bunty!

Lollibop is a bit far for us. We are going to Deer Shed Grin.

Cupcakes if you go to the bottom of the page there is a link in slightly larger text which says'mobile site'. My phone reverts to the desktop site every few days and I have to click on it to get it back.

JuniperTisane · 31/03/2014 21:19

Just shy of 300 miles away for use, Meringue. Looks fantastic though. Sometimes I wish I lived north of London to make stuff easier to get to.

Cupcakes scroll right down to the bottom of the page, the mobile site link is right in the centre underneath all the other writing.

Sheer persistence, Glorious, and a compliant baby in a good mood willing to be thrown up and over my shoulders several million times. Doesn't happen often, that! Also I have been trying new slings and found one I really like thats comfortable and easy.

Tugs a mass meet-up is a great idea. Lets do it!

Creepy We're still waiting for a 1 year check Hmm

fourlegstwolegs · 31/03/2014 22:48

Hello everyone....I'm ok ish. Ex was basically here all weekend. I know I shouldn't let him, but I still like having him around and I'd rather he was here with our boy rather than stuffing him into a car or train for hours and hours and taking him away every time.
He is a bit calmer about seeing him, having frightened me with "demands" early on.
I think we will be able to get along ok in the future. However things might change when he meets someone else. I don't want to think about that...
I did burst into tears ALOT last weekend though. It's been more than 3 weeks, I thought I'd be past that....

salt1 · 01/04/2014 04:32

Am in total shock. My husband has had a brain bleed and is in intensive care. I dont think he will survive

LetThereBeCupcakes · 01/04/2014 05:31

Oh, salt Sad

Tugstonia · 01/04/2014 06:28

Salt I am so sorry :( You must be in terrible shock. Thinking of you and your DH and hoping he will pull through. Have you got family or support nearby? Sending you hugs.

mrsbug · 01/04/2014 07:26

Salt I am so sorry Flowers

Do you have real life support?

glorious · 01/04/2014 07:38

BuntyCollocks · 01/04/2014 07:39

Salt how absolutely terrifying - I am so so sorry and sending the strongest get well soon vibes I possibly can. xxx

happyhow · 01/04/2014 20:53

I went AWOL again for a while so trying to catch up on what I can on my phone.

I'm so sorry about you husband, Salt. What a horrible and unexpected situation to be in. I hope you've got some support around you and he's responding to treatment. Xxx
