December 2012 : Stop that or your going in your cot.

New thread

hales I second the moby recommendation. I used it immediately post cs with T and she had reflux, and she loved it. I was so sad when she got too heavy for it.
spotty that is rubbish but you've done all you can - you've raised your concerns appropriately and now are not paid enough to take responsibilty. I guess if anything awful should happen you dial 999!

I'm more worried about a crazed addict wanting drugs I know, I know it won't happen but it could ....

Spotty I'd be really surprised if a crazed drug addict were up that early in the morning I'm sure it'll be fine but if anything happens then make sure your objections prior to it happening are noted IYSWIM.

There was something else I was going to write but I've been totally distracted by DH and I'm on the rubbish app...

How did it go Spotty?

So far today i have left H in the living room whilst i was sorting out tea for tonight. She came into the kitchen saying 'Mum, look sand in my toes' Sure enough i've looked down and theres something in her toes. So i went into the living room to investigate. She had dug her toes into the base of a cherry bakewell

Then later she was bent over looking between the chairs and suddenly said look mum. She grabbed my head and pulled me down. I had dropped the TV remote there and not realised. Shes a funny little thing today.

So funny Hales!

It was fine but that's still not the point. My line manager walked in and said 'it's all legal don't worry'

just point out to your line manager how uncomfortable you felt.

We have just covered apples, strawberries and grapes in chocolate. H does not like getting dirty

There's no point she's crap

Oh no heres some to help get over a crap day. I'd offer a bottle of wine but mn only do glasses

Just been carrying H upstairs and said to her, H i don't think i can carry you up anymore. She replied, thats coz you fat mammy! Devastated ha

Lol at the cherry bakewell sand! And of course sadness at the waste of good cake!

hales mumsnet should definitely do full bottles! Also O has taken to sorting people, things etc into mummy, daddy, O and baby by order of size. We were looking at sharks in the animal encyclopedia and I read out that the whale shark can grow to the size of a bus and he said 'mummy'. Then giggled his head off when I pretended to be shocked..

We are in Paris! Eurostar yesterday with only minimum chaos, although the metro makes the tube seem slick, efficient and high tech. O is loving it, we've come with both boys in slings only so getting some good heavy lifting in with O..

Ooh enjoy Paris Utopian, you lucky thing.

J is doing the mummy daddy J size thing too. He's also started pointing at my boobs and calling them mummy's big tummies and cackling manically!

Utopian, i hope you all have a lovely time in Paris.

Frazzled H, grabs my boobs and shouts honk honk

WL it did make me wince when i saw the cake. H is now banned from eating the 'good' cakes

Cake sand made me too!

DS has just got a dirty old paintbrush out of the shed and painted my lovely neutral walls in 3 separate rooms with it. I'm hoping to God it dries clean! He then sprayed a wall with bathroom spray.

Add this to the fact that I picked today to try to potty train him and it's not a good day!

I've stuck lady and the tramp on and got out all the Peppa figures in the hope of having 5 mins to myself!

Ah paris how lovely

Ds has a new dolly and he's named her 'mum'

Awww Spotty thats sweet.

I have spent the evening vomiting whilst trying to cook/serve tea eurghhh. Thankfully H, has gone to bed so i can wallow in my sickness.

Aww Hales that sucks! Try to eat something if you can or maybe some dioralyte if you can't keep anything down

Bless you hales I hope it passes quickly.
I am so behind at work. I am going to have to ask for more hours. I spend the majority of my 3 days in meetings, take away actions to do never and so haven't even started on most of my actual objectives.

T is still miles away from potty training. She simply does not care!

Ds is miles away too he refuses to even sit on the loo and hates not having a nappy on. I'm hoping in the summer we might get somewhere!

Would you mind working extra hours WL?

I'm a bit 50:50 spotty. More hours would mean more work satisfaction and of course more money, but I am aware that in another 2 years once T starts school I will never have the opportunity to be at home with the dds again. DH was about ready to send her to borstal this morning after she smeared a whole tin of pink lip balm over herself and the lounge! He growled, she cried, ran to me for a cuddle and smear, I missed my train...all fun and games!

I hope you can sort something out with work WL. Sorry you missed your train bet it was murder getting the lip barm off T.

WL, I'm sure it was a massive PITA getting lip balm off but your description is funny!

How you feeling Hales?

I think DS is further from potty training now than he was 6 months ago. He used to love using the potty etc. Now he refuses unless he decides he wants to

Yesterday went

• wake up, wee in potty
• play with no pants on - run to potty for poo (hallelujah)
• go for 3 hours walk, hold wee entire time
• try on potty on return - no wee
• 4 (yes 4) wees in pants in next 3 hours.

I've sent him to nursery with 5 changes of pants/trousers as he asked for his o-pants (underpants) this morning. We'll see how fast he gets through those!

fandango, preschool find it quite odd that they're Not changing R's nappy. he absolutely adores the bear fruit yoyo things though so I have unlimited bribery material that I'm happy for him to have

WL could you compromise on a term time only increase of hours? Sorry if that's a stupid idea

We went to toddlers this morning, it took Ds a while to play and he kept coming back to sit on my lap. All the way there he was saying 'mummy stay' dreading pre school and school etc with him

Were on week 8 of "mummy stay?" and "Mummy come too?". I'm Sure it'll pass eventually soon. It's quite trying for me, as he used to be quite independent and happy to play solo.
