Am I new?

Or am I a name change?

Ooooo! A guessing game! Name-change

Hopefully a good night will sort you all out gt

Exciting news about the break away though.

Ooh. I guess you're a nc.

kyz you are amazing good luck for tonight

GT 37 is normal temp.

I would guess 50 is a name change. Possibly Det?

Yep. And nope.

Some time soon my fingers will give me away!

Not Sophia as no spelling mistakes

Pidj?

PR my mum reckons 18m is language. It would fit with why R has had his a bit early, there's been a huge increase in his babbling - both how much and the variety of sounds - and he's now definitely got words he uses regularly (bubble for round things, (ba)nana, yes/no/more etc) which are clear and understandable to other people.

GT you can pump to maintain supply, if it's only for a couple of days you'll need a day or two of calm skin to skin with A to get things back up to normal. www.kellymom.com usually has all the answers!

Kyz yay for your little fighters

Flouncy/Izzy?

Awesome x post VQ - I've been Pidj too long and in too many different places to do more than a seasonal nc :o

I don't think Izzy would have the energy to NC. Hopefully she is in bed asleep by now.

50hz is electricity reading I think. YW or Sophia.

Or Isles? Stormy-lightening-radio waves?

Fingers giving you away? You're the fairy :)

Fairy reveal yourself

Ha.

Not denying it then.

I'm too stupid to name change!

50hz - chasing? We haven't heard from you today?

Kyz glad things are ok.

I'm not entirely sure Pass, I haven't started yet! But the gym opens at 6am and as I'm awake then anyway (cheers S) I can go and still be at work for 7.30 if I shower super fast.

And fitting the extra in isn't as hard as it sounds - I start work an hour earlier than my official time, never take lunch, stay a bit later and do a couple more hours when the DC are in bed. It sounds a lot but it's better than my office hours were pre-DC as I almost always leave before 5pm, I'm always home for dinner bed and bath unless I have a pre-arranged event and I only work at the weekend in exceptional circumstances.

VQ he feels very hot tho at 37. And as he hits 37 he doesn't seem well. At 35-36 he is fine. Maybe my thermometer is wrong.

Where are you taking it GT! Under the arm you add a degree or so to the reading. My kids are cold fish and anything above 37 is uncomfy but I only medicate if over 38 or in proper discomfort. That is with a fancy ear probe.

That was meant to be a question mark not exclamation mark sorry

J finally asleep in his own bed. Thank fuck. If he had liked his cot I would have left him in it, but his sleep is better generally since the change.

Oh, I forgot to say. There was a sale in M&S and I got J a little suit with a waistcoat and tie, and also his school trousers. A bit early granted, but they were reduced from £10 to 99p a pair, and I had a voucher left over from Christmas. I got 5 pairs

Not me

Must be Soph

Your day sounds perfect Pass.
