Hi! Really well, thanks! Holidays are here so I am enjoying lots of chill time with p. Potty training working really well as well other than a lack of poo.

How about you chaps?

All good with us. S is very interested in his willy but not terribly fussed about potty training. Smile

Elizadoesdolittle · 13/07/2015 20:09

oh yay. people are back!

A brief run down on my life;

PP world was fab.
House is in absolute chaos, I can't even begin to describe it.
Going to start potty training E in a week - yikes!
She has a place 3 days a week at a church playgroup.
DS is 6 months today so starting BLW. Where the fuck has that time gone?

So there we have it. I have missed our thread.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Do you remember when we used to wrack up pages in a day. People would go for a long weekend and miss whole threads!

P would adore pp world.

I cannot believe ds is 6mo!!!!

Elizadoesdolittle · 13/07/2015 21:09

Yes and it was unheard of for us to be out of the active threads.

P would have a ball at pp world.

Yep, it's seriously scary how quickly time is passing. All our little ones will be turning 3 in 3 to 4 months. Crazy!

YellowWellies · 14/07/2015 00:38

Helloooo! Eliza I can't believe he's 6 months! Lil is nearly 10 months. One in September. I can't believe the Bear is nearly 3! Where has the time gone?

Pass I'm in awe of P's toilet training skills. Jonas will be in nappies until secondary school at this rate... I am very impressed with how well P and J played together on Sunday. He's not vair good at sharing at the mo....

Where's VQ and PR and Detective - we need a thread reunion!

Not sure how well p was managing turn gaming herself yw!

We went to the library yesterday which has no toilet. I warned p over and over again. We walked in the door and she suddenly crossed her legs declaring herself to be bursting. So it was a lightening dash to a nearby pub - bar manager yelling "to the right! It's on the right!" I obviously had that look about me Grin

Once we managed back to the library we came across a wee girl who was all about whatever p had. Right down to ripping the dummy out of her mouth! P coped ok with it actually as it must have been hugely annoying to have every single thing she picked up taken out of her hands. We need to go back and actually get her a library card so she can get books out.

No plans for today - staying put in the hope that the poo she has been hanging on to since Friday might show up!

Are we back? I've been checking in every few days but there hasn't been much action.

Waves to everybody

Elizadoesdolittle · 14/07/2015 22:25

We're back baby!!

Nice day here in scotlandshire. Think we might take a wander to the library.

Any other plans?

E is currently at her first settling in session at playgroup. She did not blink an eye lid. I can't believe this is the first time she has been left somewhere like this. Feel like I need to run about doing stuff but instead I'm sitting on the sofa!

Passmethecrisps · 15/07/2015 10:07

Sitting on be sofa is exactly what you should be doing! I am currently sitting up in bed while p is in her room next door chatting to her oatcakes

S is currently convinced he is also starting school when DD starts in September. Every time we talk about it, he announces "my go to school too", very firmly. I think he will be disappointed!

Maybe chance your arm? What's the likelihood of teacher noticing one extra? Wink

It would be cheaper than nursery - maybe try for it!!

Elizadoesdolittle · 15/07/2015 21:42

Grin at chatting to oat cakes.

Ah bless S zamboni . I think E would quite happily start school too. She is desperate to be like her big sister.

E didn't want to leave when I picked her up. When i arrived she was sat on the carpet with all the little uns singing wind the boppin up wearing a sparkly dressing up dress. I was so proud of her. The girls come along way from being a clingy tube head Smile

YellowWellies · 16/07/2015 23:40

DH and I have just got in from the pub! our first night out together since having Lil nearly 9 months ago. Actually our last night out together was 28th August 2014. Nearly a year! Was fun. And we didn't just talk about the kids. Grin

Wowee!! Hooray for pub visits.

We went to the cinema together yesterday morning. P's first cinema visit. We saw two by two which was good and p was great. She sat very nicely and only occasionally gave a loud running commentary. . .

"What that? It a octopus. An octopus should not be there!! It should be in sea!! Silly octopus"

"Naughty foxy thing. I think that foxy thing is not nice"

And so on.

Thankfully it was a parent and toddler viewing so she was one of many giving a commentary.

She if off to nursery now leaving DH and I to get more sorting done before my parents arrive this afternoon.

Wwwaaaaaahhhhayyyyyyyy.

We have action.

Hooray for pub visits, PP world and playgroups.

Just festering in the airport before I go and get the girls and have a catch up boozy lunch with friend

O is doing well with the potty training but if he was bursting he would tell me. He would just burst. But most days we have the same trousers and "panties" Smile on as we start with. Mainly due to mummy putting him on the pot regularly. But having had one child who didn't do anything when you put him on the potty and then weed all over the floor 10 seconds after taking him off I think we are doing well.

The only problem is having bribery packets of Cadbury animals in the cupboard.

I have some other questions that are only possible on the thread.

So. Pant liners. Who uses pant liners? I never used to have to use pant liners but since I hit 40 I do have to really. Is this normal?

Also my left arm.

Ok.

So when you are in bed with your sweety and you are having a bit of a snog, and you turn to the left, because you sleep on the right side of the bed, to have said snog, your left arm is sort of wedged under. Either under you, or under him. What the fuck do you do with it? Apart from bet a dead arm.

I have been meaning to ask this for ages, but haven't got round to it.

Elizadoesdolittle · 18/07/2015 14:34

I too sleep on right side of bed but it's been a while since I've partaken in any snog action that fuck knows what I do with it. DH is away this weekend so I may treat him to a bit of snog action when he returns. Will report back!

I don't wear pant liners but after a very near pelvic floor flail at Zumba I feel I might need to soon Blush

So it's day 1 of potty training here and we're 3 pairs of knickers in. Not too bad really. She takes herself off to the potty but doesn't get her pants down in time. Got to go out soon. That will be interesting.
