yay for worse 
We'd all be in a right pickle without our resident wise woman. If only it was over familiar Friday and I could gush a bit!
Tend to agree stormy that by early forties a bit of the growing up would have happened if it was going to. especially with fatherhood thrown in. Sounds like you deserve better. With the caveat that some time with just you and dd will probably be a blast so don't be too much of a hurry on that score.

No Sexy Sunday here either as DP is on a stag do today so he's just going to irritate me tomorrow with his hungoverness! But thanks for reminding me to take jacket tatas for jacket tata Monday plonk 
storny it sounds like the time apart so far has had a positive effect on you so that can only be a good thing. And wahey for curry, that'll see ya right!
DS woke up from his nap at 5 and I went in to get him to find the cot and the baby covered in sick. He's never been sick before so I I'm assuming it's a combination of his medicine and cheese spread (it was definitely the cheese spread, I could tell. Bleugh) He's now totally off his food so dinner has consisted of half a rusk and some banana. It would have to happen while DP is off gallivanting, wouldn't it?
I'm on my phone so can't name check but Ooh betty I hope the waking was the actual phase! You must be exhausted. 
? Or 
?

shattered, yummy and worse the night could have been worse really. The only stupid thing is we went to sleep at midnight ourselves and up at half six for house viewings so we didn't get much sleep. Ecobaby had one wake only at two for milk. There was no milk and there was no mummy. I was quivering in next door room whilst dh did his work. The crying and protests about lack of milk lasted until half three. But only the one crying session so really for the first night rather good. Doubtless we'll be stung tonight!
Plonky the film was intense. I think I'll sound like a wanker if I talk about it because the subject matter was so real and awful that to say it's a 'good film' sounds woefully inadequate and to comment on the brutality and portrayal of that would be to suggest that we don't want to hear the truth about our history if that makes any sense. Excellent acting. But wish I could 'unsee' if.
So we have jacket potato Mondays, over familiar Fridays, what was it soul searching Saturdays, sexy Sundays? Any suggestions for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday anyone? I think everyone would benefit from proactive partner Tuesday personally.
Worse did that crazy marine have you star jump too high? How does one crack a back bone? Take care please
Something 
the sick sounds unfun. Poor little poppet. Have things improved at all?
Yummy I love the way you talk about your son. He sounds a lovely bundle of fun. Wish we could see him! When are you on Facebook again?
Today's been sunny. Ecobaby has been happy enough but bit vacant and staring into space sucking her thumb a lot. Tired after last night I suspect. Dh has been in bloody Bedfordshire viewing ten houses to sort wheat from chaff. He'll be back later on to de brief me. Without me earning we decided market Harborough commute costs are just too much so bloody Bedfordshire it is Whilst the cat's been away we had a back pack walk and hung the nappies on the line. Hurrah for sunshine. Whilst she napped I got out some new crafty bits given as presents and made a few long overdue cards for birthdays, engagement and new baby. Sat next to the sunny open window with a cup of rooibos felt fairly blissful. Whilst it lasted. Currently bathing and dinner in slow cooker so all feels ok in the world.
Betty I hope you have a better night and that you've had some help today. Let us know if things are still shitty mcshit.
Stormy it's been ages since I had a curry out. Humour us and tell us what
you ordered. I'm drooling a little at the thought of all my favourites now. Just as well I'm in the bath.

Stormy I can only think of one word right now. Bastard. Very very low, and very very pathetic of him.
Birthday cakes sound a little ambitious for me. I am relying on the fact that MIL will probably bring one. I have a fairly good basis for this assumption, i.e. she always brings a cake every time she visits, regardless of occasion. I suspect this has much to do with ILs having a very sweet tooth, us me never having anything sweet in the house, unless I've bought it in specially for guests, in which case it is bought, not homemade, and therefore 'not special' 
The back is a bit of a worry to be honest as it isn't muscular. DH says one of the knobbly bits is sticking out and looks wrong. It also hurts when I touch it, and the rest of the time I have a weird low grade pain and slightly sick feeling. I'm wondering if I crushed something rolling about on the kitchen floor playing catch the baby. It was a fun game, until that point!
Rainbow adoption would be a wonderful thing to do. The approval process is pretty gruelling, but I' sure you'd sail through it without a worry as you are a lovely mum to your dd already.
Not much doing here today, other than super organisation on my part. So far this weekend I have made and frozen batches of bolognaise, chicken casserole, and fish pie for dd. I'm getting a bit stuck in a rut with baby meals to be honest, as lunch is always a meat or fish meal, and tea something like cheese on toast, scrambled eggs, a veggie lentil dish or sandwiches. Anyone doing anything really different and inspiring?! Please say yes. I need inspiring.
