Ahh, wanda the posh end!

S ended up having a mammoth nap today, I feel like I've wasted a whole afternoon.
My cousin took some photos of S a while ago and I'd forgotten about them, she had one put onto canvas and it has just been delivered, what a lovely surprise.

Lol

I'm mid cycle. When do you usually get PMT?
I feel like this a lot but I get bad,cant wait to start work days. Then pull your self together days. I'm doing great days. Then days like today when I just want/do cry all day.

GP then GT just to be on the safe side

R behaved himself all the way round the supermarket i bribed him with gingerbread men

S has come out in a bit of a rash where I put her suncream on yesterday, I used the Nivea baby, does anyone know of any that might not bring her out in a rash? Is there such a thing as suncream for sensitive skin?

Nivea has a sensitive range, that's the only one which doesn't cause O to have a rash. All the other Nivea products don't work.

gt I have no real advise apart from pls talk to your dr. Xxx

Thanks lily I'll have a look now.

I agree, best talk to your GP GT just to be safe, although I am really not surprised you feel like this at times - you have a lot on your hands. What are the plans for the future? Are you going back to work? Are the boys going to Nursery?

A neighbour is pregnant again. She already has 5, and is now expecting twins. I am glad DD1 told me this, so when I next bump into her, I can give a better response than I gave DD1 I thought she only had 4 as they never keep still long enough to count. 7 children A part of me, albeit small, is really quite envious

I must admit I thought she was a CM.

7 kids? Jings!!

I thought I had killed Fred

Yes 5 wonderful children, and newborn twins pretty soon, all being well. The oldest is around 8, the current youngest is 3. WonderWoman I say or utterly bonkers

Why did my cross out not work? I did it right

9pm, time for Bed

It did work VQ

Cross out skillz
And bunny ear skillz

[tbubear]?

I have just logged in on the mobile site. Things look very different. It is crossed out, and PP has bunny ears. Not op App.

And of course my cute pic will not be visible on the App either.

The app is rubbish. I always use he mobile site as t is good.

That pic is proper adorable. You should get that printed. It makes me want a sibling for p

And I cannot see the emoticon PP has just put in, the grin with the ears , on the App.

Thank you Pass

She walks him all the way from the car (me following at a safe distance obviously) , rings the bell, takes him into the toddler room, and gives the ladies a handover before giving him a kiss and telling him to be good. She puts his socks and shoes on on the morning too to shrieks of laughter

I forgot about the pictures!

I have only just recovered from reading about 7 children!

I had a bizarre convo with MIL today

She said; "now Oliver is getting to that age I will have to tie up the fridge and freezer doors again" (to stop him going in there and stealing yoghurts like DS and DNiece did

"That is the last time you will have to do that, is a bit sad" I said

she said

"Well, he is the last baby"

she said

"Well, unless SIL quick smart meets some one etc etc" (she is 41 confirmed spinster although obviously not completely riling out a miracle)

I felt a bit uncomfortable about the way the convo was going and changed the subject.

I'm not sure what she is expecting, me and DH to fill each bedroom doubly?

I love that picture vq keep meaning to say. I love pictures of kids backs for some reason.

Anyway I actually came on to say I am really enjoying the rewrite of NorthAnger Abbey and I am just going to snuggle down with it.
