mustrunmore · 20/11/2006 21:56

Yeah, I've seen her here and there.

Frizbe · 20/11/2006 21:57

aww do us a link again MRM

Flame, great that grandad is home and the parrot missed him more than grandma you reckon??

In for a bad night here, dd2 has at least 30 spots on her head and that's not even counting her body, is screaming as I type, but I have to try and leave her to drop again for a few minutes...still have really odd/bad taste in my mouth too, see my thread below.....

Hi CSWS/Tictac/Jas/Dew and everyone else

Frizbe · 20/11/2006 21:59

CSWS I agree, MRM dh reckons I've smelt it too....it tastes so horrible tho

Frizbe · 20/11/2006 22:05

ah I have an answer, yuk, yuk, yuk, not using those drops again, will suffer with bad eyes, ick

mustrunmore · 20/11/2006 22:12

this prob wont work because ive only ever done it once before and not fucked up

And if that link hasnt worked, I'm off to bed csws will be back to do it for me!

mustrunmore · 20/11/2006 22:12

WaaaHayyyy!!! I'm a technical genius!!

Frizbe · 20/11/2006 22:14

MRM it works and they're lovely oh cripes there goes dd2 again......I will not give in and go and sleep with her, I will not, here goes another few mins comforting again.......

3k · 20/11/2006 22:34

Aww MRM the photos are lovely.

CSWS - Ben is now fine thanks, he has been a bit whingy today though.

We are currently trying a new routine, last night a friend babysat for us and we went for a drink so I hung his afternoon nap out and got him to bed at 7.30pm and he slept all the way through to 8am today. So tonight he went down just after 7pm. I hope he goes til 7.30am as that would be brilliant. It's nice to have time to yourself in the evenings and even if we put him up at 10pm he still gets up around 7.30am - 8am so hoping that by him going earlier he will still wake at the normal time. Fingers crossed!!

MRM - how is your pregnancy going so far? Not too much feeling sicky I hope??? When is your due date?

3k · 20/11/2006 22:35

Chloe - wanted to ask how Oscar's walking is going as he had started to take a few steps the other week??? Is he off at full speed yet?

Jelley · 21/11/2006 07:11

at mrms pregnancy!

I love the pics. Did he tke millions to get the good ones or is he just really good?
You do still look 15 in that group pic

Ds as up every 2 hrs, and from 5...just gone back to sleep, but now dds need to be up[grrr]

flamesparrow · 21/11/2006 08:15

I love the pic with the leaves the most MRM - You remind me a lot of how I looked a couple of years ago when I had longer hair!

I swear these babies aren't all the same age - they are all such drastically different sizes!!!

School photographer and preschool are trying to convince me to get DD into moggelling... I dunno where I'd start though, or if I'd want to!

Who's ready for the next installment of the soap opera that is Flame's World???

Washing machine is f*cked Put it on yesterday and its not clicking on properly, and now won't spin or drain. Going to take the filter out tonight (after covering the floor with towels!!!) and see if there is something obvious bunging it up - if not, its going to be a repair man job... or not actually its going to be sitting there for a few weeks because repair men tend to expect money. One of the nappies came undone after the tie dying, and I don't remember spotting the elastic band so I'm wondering if that has got stuck somewhere .

Not a lot of sleep because DS decided to feed all night.

Oh, and I'm on the preschool committee .

flamesparrow · 21/11/2006 08:16

Oh, and the parrot is very mcuh Grandad's... his huge cage is right next to his chair, and he comes out and sits on his arm nuzzling into his hair - squaks like hell if anyone else goes near him. Chatters away in a cornish accent

mustrunmore · 21/11/2006 09:27

Oh crap; only came on here for 20 secs to catch up before going to playgroup, and apparently I'm now pg??!
That would be very odd timing, seeing as yesterdayI booked dh's hospital consultation for his snip. Earliest app was Feb 7th, and that before going on the actual waiting list to get it done!

i really hope this pg rumour hasnt started because of my huge belly

I'm not 15. No way near!

Jelley · 21/11/2006 09:32

It is not huge!

Flame for washing machine. I hope my nappies haven't killed it.
Really glad your grandad is home though

CantSleepWontSleep · 21/11/2006 09:34

You do look 15 in that photo though mrm. Teenage pregnancy - tut tut .

Flame - I take it the washing machine isn't part of the rental contract? Fingers crossed you find something simple in the filter.

So how much time does DD spend with Jaaaaaaaaaason?

OP posts:
mustrunmore · 21/11/2006 09:39

Is it an old washing machine? You can get into the workings of them easily to fix them if needs be. New ones are made to be harder to fix so you jusy buy a new one .

So, if I'm 15 and Flame says I look like her a few years ago, is she still a child too?

dewmeadow · 21/11/2006 11:28

mrm - great pirate photos. WHat a lovely family you have, o ar! you definitely look about 15 and on to your 3rd pregnancy already!! What a shocker! WHat tummy?!!

I was moderately good diet-wise all week, and I had put on 2 lb - how damn depressing is that!! I want to be really good this pregnancy about food, otherwise I am goign to be the biggest fattest momma of them all! Wont be able to go for a run - go for a lumber!

Who had the sleeping through baby? YEAAAH for you

DS STILL in our bed every night but doing incredible teething and dont really know what my strategy should be when the time is right. Dont know if I can be arsed!!

Flame - I love the fact that with the whole pirate obsession thing, you have a Granda who has a parrot who speaks in a Cornish accent! - Brilliant!

Love to all

flamesparrow · 21/11/2006 12:35

Oh 3K I missed your sleeping baby (or blanked it out with bitter ??)

pmsl @ the pirate parrot - never occurred to me!!!!

MRM - you forget that I am married to a 12 yr old and was asked for ID in August, so 15 is probably about right.

Soaking - it pissed down for the school run - loads of sun before and since, and it was the kind of rain that feels like just melted ice

Jas - your nappies have been posted, I hope you like them. It would be my incompetent elasic tying to blame for the machine, not your nappies They have been washed several times to de-dye them so they don't need pre-washing (unless you want to)... washed in surcare.

Is Cantwaitforsnow CSWS?

CantSleepWontSleep · 21/11/2006 12:38

Haven't seen them, but no, not I. I'll always keep CSWS as initials.

CantSleighWontSleigh · 21/11/2006 12:40

Jelley · 21/11/2006 12:44

Yes I too pretended not to notice the sleeping baby, 3k

dancing in anticipation of new nappies.

CantSleepWithSanta · 21/11/2006 12:44

Of course I could be this .

Jelley · 21/11/2006 12:44

I like that one csws.
