Going to try and put sleeping baby back in cot.

Back in a bit with a glass of wine.

I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your wine (though really you should go to bed yourself!).

And a cooker catalogue?

Might be around, but dh and lodger home soon
Er, can I abbreviate that to dl? Or does that mean something else?

You can call him dl if you want, but if you do it any where else it may be interpreted dear lover.

I'm not looking at pictures of cookers any more. I've tried online but there is too much choice. I need to go and fiddle with knobs and open drawers.

Take ds1 with you to fiddle; he's the world expert. Last time we looked at kitchens(for when we win the lottery or an unknown aged relative dies ) he sat in EVERY pan drawer in every kitchen in the shop.

I'll pick him up at about 4 then.

On second thoughts, my dds will probably manage, andif something is breakable, dp will find its weak point, so probably won't need him.

I've had a lovely day today putting tie dyed blue nappies on ds. It really doesn't take much to make me happy. (That and the fact that tescos have 20% off clothes, and their self service machine took £25worth of vouchers today, so I could buy loads of new underwear! I'm going to wrap it up and give it to myself for Christmas.)

Ha ha. We're in Walthamstow tomorrow; how far away is that for me to hand him over to you?

Am wishing I was going to tescos instead now if its 20%off! Did you see a while ago, those feeding sets with the cup in that Boy liked, they had them buy one get one free? I got 2 but prob wont use the cups, if you want them next time I see you. Had forgotten till now.

Sorry - I forget that you aren't all mind readers and you don't instantly know what I am talking about

Jas - were they ok? His bum didn't go blue did it?

@ the "not having been overdrawn before"

Jas - are you getting a new cooker for Christmas??? There is a really cool one here with loads of good looking buttons.

MRM - DL would definately end up dear lover.

TicTac- you are lovely, but definately too far away.

DS is currently grinning at his reflection in the tv cabinet

Thanks mrm, but you forget, my Tescos is in walking distance. I bought more

The clothes offer lasts til 2nd Dec if you get the chance between now and then.

Walthamstow is a 10 mins drive, or a very long (and irregular ) bus from here.

I'm off to test drive a new toddler group this morning. It's a church one and more religious than some, which is why I've never been before, but at least 2 of my friends go, so I'm going to brave it.

Rubbish night here. I'm starting to worry a bit now that he'll never settle on his own.

No blue bum so far. I'm going to wash them with my white ones later so I may get lots of pale blue nappies.

Thanks for that link.

Jas, you can borrow my DD too. She is great for finding tiny, not visable to the human eye, holes that she can wiggle her tiny little fingers into....

We have my dads dog staying with us while he is on holiday and all we keep getting is "dog, doggy, doggy" as she scoots towards the kitchen door.

Totally craps herself when she sees him mind!

Very bad night here too.
But lodger turned up with a birthday pressie for ds1, a bit late. He's going to be so excited... he's giving him his daughter's hardly used 3/4 size guitar!!

Flame; only never overdrwan before because we wree both earning and saved loaeds, then dipped inbto them when I stopped work, to supplememnt dh's wages. But then when we moved house I had to put my entire life savings in to afford the house (still about the cheapest in a nice area, without living somewhere really grim!), so now nothing to dip in to, and dh's overtime has been stopped again.

Even we've been overdrawn before (though it was more a cashflow thing than a skint thing, as dh's client is rubbish at paying on time).

Odd night here. Ended up feeding at 1 and 5. After the 5am feed she seemed to settle for a bit, but then coughed herself awake and took a while to settle, then woke again after 20 mins, chatted and moaned for 10 mins then went back to sleep about 6:15 and stayed asleep until 7:50! Wonder if another tooth is on it's way, as last week's bad nights seemed to stop on Sat once her first tooth had arrived.

Enjoy the cooker shopping Jas.

csws - sounds very toothy...
DD struggled with tooth 1 which was lower left, then her top 2 popped through without any bother then her bottom right started and has been a nightmare!

Midised or calpol works ok for DD though (tend not to medicate unless deaths door )

I tend to have to pin DD down to medicate her - she doesn't seem to have sussed that it's for her benefit . Reckon it'll be bottom right coming up next.

have you tried the syringe rather then spoon. Oh and medicating in the bath (obviously for nght time!)

We have to pin down too... even with syringe (never done spoons with mine).

Glad you liked the cooker Jas

Overdrawn - ours is a mix of cashflow, and the times when things have been really hard - looking through those statements it is when I stopped working after DD, last month, and when we first started living together - Boy was working, but not very well paid, and I was at college and doing bar work... things were soooooooo much worse then!

Oh name changed... fancied a complete change.

I thought you were Frizbe...that is really going to confuse me.

pmsl - forgot to put that its Flame

I thought it was Frizbe at first too, until it made more sense as flame!

TicTac - yes always use syringe. Sometimes works in bath, but it's middle of the night that's the biggest problem.

mrm - did you get the CD ? Re: your friend and paedo ring. . hmmm. I don't think so. I only have Apple Macs not dirty macs. No, I am about a straight-forward a bloke as one could hope to meet. I've also met a pile of MNers and taken shots of Mars' kids. Oh, and I'm requesting a CRB check in Jan 07 (so it looks 'current' for the whole of the next year IYSWIM), so I very much doubt I am about to become depraved.

Also, re: 'stranger' - if you go to any photographer they will be a 'stranger' unless a friend of the family IYSWIM. Anyway, I'm not really a 'stranger' am I ? Most of my inner bl00min' thoughts are on MN anyway ! (CSWS - would be happy to get the CRB done tomorrow if that makes you happier, no prob.... I don't know how long they take to process, I imagine it could be 1 or 2 weeks ?).

(Oh, and re: syringe and pinning down... offer the syringe (empty, full of water, or full of medicine) as a toy to be held; let the baby wave it around etc... eventually it'll get to their mouth and you should be able to get about 2mils in with each squeeze on the end IYSWIM - ie. it can take a few flails to get 5ml down. hth).

lmao You're bloody optimistic at 1-2 weeks for crb!!! By the time they lose your paperwork, wait a few months to let you know, do it all again - this time next year maybe??

fwiw - I'd LOVE you to take photos of my two (especially since I am attempting a go with the mogglers...)... Can I post you two children and you send me photos in return?
