You can't they just have to grow out of it. I say no and take them down till I am blue in The face but they all still do it.

Reading about all the teeth has got me a bit worried, S still only has 4!

Don't worry me old fruit DS1was a bit like that the. They all came at once. Ok, yeah, perhaps you should worry, cooperate teething not good.

Yes soph I bet they will come all at once knowing her luck.

Fruit, apparently the later they come through, the stronger they will be.

Talking of teeth, how "well" does everyone manage to brush? I do a count of 10 in each area (middle and both sides, top and bottom) but only once a day is that enough?

Really vq? I hope so, at least it will compensate for being a gummy bear early on

Brushing here is terrible. She HATES it when I do them for her, but when she does it herself all she does is chews the brush and suck off the toothpaste.

She used to love brushing teeth but the past week or two she refuses. Tooth nr 13 might be the reason, maybe she has sensitive gums. Anyway, I do brush them, she cries. We brush together in the morning and I do hers in the bath in the evening.

Lovely ladies and gent, if you have any savings, don't forget to top up your ISA. New tax year started today feeling very grown up.

Did I tell you that the hungarian government opened a saving account for O and deposited £150? I think it's the same scheme as in the UK, you can top it up with a maximum amount every month until they are 18. I won't be putting any money on it though, I save my money on my account as I never know when I need access to it. Feeling bad but I know it's the right thing to do.

I need to do my tax return here and promised my dad to do his as well, plus need to pay my tax bill this week. Grrr.

Leg feels healed, they take the stitches out on Wednesday and than I can start doing exercise again. The stitches in my nose will fade completely, it looks ok thankfully. Just hope the leg is vein free looking as well.

Sometimes when Jonas is scaling the sofa like a goat if I ask him to sit nicely on his bottom like a big boy, he does and applauds himself saying "tadaaaaa". Other times mostly he effectively laughs in my face!

Tea in front of the boat race went well - the right team won and J finally scoffed mashed potato with his roast dinner. We had duck so I mixed the mash with gravy and a mix of leeks, cabbage and onions which I'd sauteed in the duck fat. Fattening him up is going to result in a roly poly Mummy and Daddy!

In the slowest redecoration ever - my sister and I managed two coats of paint in the lounge and we're slowly de-blinging the gold painted coving back to matt white. Decorating with toddlers is painfully slow. DH took him out for four hours so we could crack on but we could have done with double the time . Anyway am shattered now...... yawn......

I just let O chew on his toothbrush. The HV said that as long as they get the toothpaste in their mouth it's fine.

I wait til she's screaming then scrub scrub scrub!

Chasing glad the date went well

Sophia (hugs) that is difficult when you are so far away. I'm sure she would appreciate a skype chat though.

Imagine having Sophia as your BFF. She's a lucky woman

I think that might be the first time I've used the phrase BFF.

J opens his mouth perfectly like a baby bird when my sister tries to brush his teeth - for me he just chews the brush / scrubs his nose!

thanks chasing

The dentist last week basically said same as your hv I think is more about getting them into good habits than anything else. When I started O let be brush his teeth really well. I knew it was too good to be true though and now he just snatches the brush off me and pretends to do it himself.

As with meal times, I'm conscious not to let teeth brushing turn into a battle. At the moment he sees it as fun. He loves brushing my teeth for me as well. Oh, and his future wife can thank me now - he knows how to load the washing machine, close the door, press the on/off switch and guides my finger to the start button. My work here is done

Completely changing the subject, I was bored an browsing Classics and came across an old thread of mine...

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/1318402-A-small-fluffy-bundle?msgid=46255784#46255784

so I found the photo on fb and added it

It still makes me and :o and laugh till I cry, can't believe how stupid I was!

pp that is hilarious.

Re tooth brushing, I just let E chew on the toothbrush as well and then brush them myself as and when I can. I did the same with DD1 and she got the ok at her check up on Friday so I'll just continue to do the same with E.

I had a lovely child free day yesterday. it was my friends 40th. A group of us went to brunch at my fave restaurant and then to a roof top bar over looking trafalgar sq and finished the night off in a cozy bar. Many bottles of prosecco and cocktails were consumed. Was great fun.

chasing your date sounded great

pp that's hilarious.

Sounds like a lovely time eliza

I just checked on S and for the first time ever, she is exactly where I left her, all tucked up. I'm shocked. Dp is snoring soooooo loud next to me, it's seriously getting on my wick now. Poking and shoving isn't working and I'm knackered.

Pillow over the head?

go the fuck back to sleep baby or I'll turn the dratted monitor off!

pidj that was you? I never made the link. It's one of the few classics threads that have really made me laugh out loud.

This commute sucks donkeys

Hugs Pikz x

PP I didn't realise that was you

pp brilliant. You are a legend!

pikz how long does it take you?

Well. I am working today. Ahem. I work 4 hours on a
Monday ( from home obviously) so I am working 12-16:00 and the boys are going to Nanny's.

Off for a workout this morning. 2 of my 5 remaining lbs off last week. I just need to keep going now rather than thinking ah great I can have a mo hoodie packet of crisps and a a bottle of wine guilt free now!

Also 6 more sleeps till I see my DDs

I think I will leave that typos as is. It makes me sound cool like pass
