Ahhh lovely night. Sis bday. Went for dinner. Then to the teenage cancer trust comedy night at Royal Albert Hall. First night out since having A Shock
And I get to go out again Saturday. Woop woop. Living life in the fast lane.

Right off to catch up. On the thread or on sleep. Undecided yet.

PetiteRaleuse · 26/03/2014 04:36

Fucking arsing insomnia. Not slept yet. Busy busy day ahead :(

It's sweary fucking Wednesday.

PetiteRaleuse · 26/03/2014 04:53

Pikz · 26/03/2014 06:33

Morning. Hope everything goes well today yw
I can't wait for my cousin to have her 12 week scan, she lives in Canada but all being well, will be moving back home in September. She's 9 weeks now.
S is already ripping all of the flaps out of her lift the flap books. It's not even 7. When do they decide that ripping things is a bad idea? I'm gutted that I bought her all of those lovely books just for them to get ripped. I haven't bought her any books for ages because she just destroys them, even the board books, she's chews those.

PetiteRaleuse · 26/03/2014 07:13

Ooh well at least I was able to do a third of today's freelance project before 7.30!

Thinking of you yw

flouncymcflouncerson · 26/03/2014 07:19

Ugh. Bad night here. I ended up the On mattress beside master flouncy's cot again holding his hand through the bars like many moons ago! I remember vq commenting on how sweet the mental image was.... It is not sweet, it is torture! He then decided 6am was wakey wakey time.... Thank goodness for MILS. Thanks also pr for the PM. Much appreciated Smile Smile

yw good luck today. Hope all goes well. I'm very envious, I'd love another baby but will never happen again. My closest friend had a wee girl about a week ago... She's adorable. So I will get lots of cuddles.

Cold hasn't got to fuck yet and I still feel mince. On the plus side I've managed a little organising that needed done. Clothes that have needed putting away for ages. Ridiculous isn't it!? I also ordered a polti steam cleaner..... Internet shopping from my sick bed!

Sophiathesnowfairy · 26/03/2014 08:03

Morning. go you pr that is good going.

yw good luck today I will be thinking of you.

We are hoping for a better day today than yesterday in the Fairy House. Particularly seeing as we will be off to the dentist this morning.

O did wake up at 5 but I went in, told him it was unreasonable, gave him a drink of water and wound up the bunnies tail. It took him about 15 mins but he went back off, or just have up, and I got a reprieve till 6:30

PetiteRaleuse · 26/03/2014 08:30

Woo. Handed in parts one and two of three. They emailed me after midnight last night requesting the work and as I usually only start at 9 they'll be surprised to have it whizzing back to them already. Insomnia does have some advantages.

Off to meet up with DH to look at cars at lunchtime. I freaking hate this whole car mess but I do love the smell of yummy new cars.

ChasingDaisy · 26/03/2014 08:35

Morning all,

O is currently feeding himself porridge. It is messy.

Good luck today YW Thanks

fiatpandababba · 26/03/2014 08:35

Hello all. I have no access to the fb page until tonight.
Checking in to say that as I was sitting on the bus it came to me that I completely made up my little factoid about taking 10 years to get over a relationship. Maybe it just took me 10 years to get over my weirdo one. Maybe its something like half the time of however long the relationship was? Anyhoo didn't want to make it all seem hopeless and drawn out.

Lily311 · 26/03/2014 10:20

Morning,

Eventful morning here, called an ambulance after a lady collapsed right in front of on the street. It was scary but thankfully she regained consciousness just before they arrived.

Went to dr, gave blood, sorted out couple of things. On my way home.

I'm thinking about changing my status from engaged to single, I think it's time. Is there a way to hide it in the feed so no one realise it? I don't want certain people to know.

StuntNun · 26/03/2014 10:33

Sorry to drop in without reading, I promise I will catch up later. I have started a thread in allergies on dairy-free foods for toddlers so if any dairy-free experts could share their tips there that would be helpful. I'm off to Tesco to get some dairy-free foods for J, unfortunately the only thing I can think of is jelly! Hmm

Good luck yw!

applepieinthesky · 26/03/2014 13:27

lily Can't you just remove the relationship status altogether? Not sure how to hide it in the feed if you change to single but someone else might? I don't spend a lot of time on facebook.

Mother's day here will be a meal out with my mum and C.

yw good luck!

Donnadoon · 26/03/2014 15:46

Hiya
YW hope the scan goes well
Loving the quiche sending Mother's Day cards to lily and chasing
stormy spend Mother's Day with your mum
Well dd is STILL not talking, Trying not to worry because ds2 was 17 months when he said his first word and then didn't say much until over two and is still not a chatterbox now
She will be 18 months next week and she hasn't even said mamma :(
Had a chat with the HV and she isn't concerned but I know her from old and she's very laid back
She also isn't 'pointing'. Now I have only learned of this pointing milestone through MN recently so have no idea when my older ones did or did not point.
HV said she will refer her though if I'm still worried.

PetiteRaleuse · 26/03/2014 15:54

Donna please don't worry. Is she alert, interested, babbling and partly PITA and partly adorable? If so she is most likely perfectly fine. Milestones aren't set in stone, they are like handfuls of pebbles thrown in a general scattered way across a vague part of the timeline. Masses of room within normal - months for things like talking - and even outside the 'normal' range there is often nothing to worry about either xx

Donnadoon · 26/03/2014 16:06

Flowers PR yes she is babbling and all those things you've said
I spend too much time reading the behaviour and development board here and been scaring myself with the asd suggestions

I don't know what it is with her but I've worried about her from day one, I used to watch her sleep etc I've never done that with any of the others not even my newest arrival who is 8 weeks I dunno

Donnadoon · 26/03/2014 16:09

I took the online test M-chat and it came back as medium risk for asd
I think this is because she can't/ won't tell me if she wants something
She is really laid back and often I am on the ball and hand her juice to her etc at regular intervals

Donnadoon · 26/03/2014 16:12

*so it's not like she wants something regular if it's all handed to her already IYSWIM

Donnadoon · 26/03/2014 16:14

Or she can and will get things for herself
Sorry for the multiple posts

applepieinthesky · 26/03/2014 16:33

Perhaps you should test it out then donna. Instead of handing things to her when you think she wants them, take a step back and see if she comes to you and asks you, if she points things out. Ask her to bring you things and see if she understands what you are saying.

I would definitely do things like that first before getting her referred but if you think deep down that there genuinely might be an issue and it would put your mind at rest then by all means go for it.

C doesn't have a huge vocabulary. Well he speaks a lot more Farsi than English actually. In English he says mum, dad, grandad and there are lots of other words he has said once or twice and then never again. I assume he's storing them all in his little head and one day he will just start talking loads. I have been trying to encourage him to say things in the last couple of weeks but he's not really interested. I'm not concerned though because he babbles away all the time, pretends to talk on the phone etc. Plus he's learning two languages and I've heard that bilingual children are generally later talkers. So I'm not panicking.

Lily311 · 26/03/2014 17:49

apple they say late talkers about bilingual kids. Having said that O's vocabulary is amazing in both languages, what amazes me really that she knows when to say the Hungarian words and when the English ones. I should really make a video again.
