PG - glad your MIL is ok, keeping my fingers crossed the infection clears quickly.

CSWS- glad you got the photos, would you mind posting a few on here for me pleeeassssseeeeeeeeeee????????

I dont know how many teeth DS has, last count was 9 but he got another one last week and I think another one at the back.

PhoenixGirl · 19/04/2007 21:36

Lewis has got 12 teeth - 4 front top, 4 front bottom, and 4 back ones (1 top either side, 1 bottom either side)

PhoenixGirl · 19/04/2007 21:37

He's not too bad at letting me look in his mouth now.

CantSleepWontSleep · 19/04/2007 21:49

Kel - I wouldn't advise putting the middle 2 on the internet where anyone can see, but the others are here:

1st pic

4th pic

KelBelle · 19/04/2007 21:51

Thank you - I was wondering after I posted that if I should have posted the naked ones!! Thanks for picking the others out xx

KelBelle · 19/04/2007 21:55

I'm going to bed now, feel shattered tonight. Catch up with you all tomorrow. Night night

CantSleepWontSleep · 19/04/2007 21:56

Night Kel.

Anyone got a title for a new thread, this one is getting slow already - it's only lasted 2 weeks!!

2boysmacca · 20/04/2007 07:45

Morning

mustrunmore · 20/04/2007 07:46

They're lovely pictures

Macca, you're erally going to have to change your name you know, as it has such night garden connotations now

Only did 25 min run last night, but I was trying to equal what a friend had done. succeeded , and did 0.5kph faster for the last 2 mins, so I was happy enough! I wish I'd just carried on though, and stopped at 5km instead of stopping on time. But I did get off the treadmill and do ironing six items

Marathonmum is coming over today to pick up the activity centre thing, so I'm hoping that just seeing her will inspire me!

ChasingSquirrels · 20/04/2007 07:51

i am knackered, bloody knackered. god know what is wrong with ds2, woke up at 2am and nothing but a bf would get him back to sleep, then decided that the day was starting at 5.15am. dh gone to work (I don't work fridays) and won't be home until after their bedtime. it is going to be a long day.

mustrunmore · 20/04/2007 07:54

The boys always get up about 5.30 But at least ds2 sleeps thrpugh now, give or take the odd squeak. ds1 often ends up on the floor, and I have to shovel him back in bed without waking him!

Dh is taking 1 1/4 hours lieu time today, so he's leaving at 2.45pm. Hurrah! we can paint the concrete in the back garden today, as he'll be home by 4pm!!!

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 08:27

Is it a bad sign that Macca only has the strength to type "morning"?

PJ day at school today... DD tells me that DS must wear his too. He on the other hand must wear his shoes if everyone else is (he yells, screams, and thumps you with them til you put em on)... so he is currently in babygro and shoes

CantSleepWontSleep · 20/04/2007 08:39

lol at 'morning' - come on maccapacca, you can do better than that .

for being knackered CS. Got anything exciting planned to help pass the time?

Yay for run and ironing mrm - no wonder you didn't make it onto here!

I want a pj day!

How was your night Chloe? The pre-bed calpol wasn't enough here - had to do nurofen during night, and still lots of waking .

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 09:42

Right, read back a bit... DS only has 4 & a bit teeth. SNeice has oodles... Dad told me the other day that she is now onto adult teeth

for exhaustedness CS - had sooooooooooooo many months of it, I am only just starting to get back on track (and then he'll be ill again!!!)

Are you paintin the concrete pretty MRM?

DH is back to having Friday afternoons off Nearly 2 years since he started working proper hours again and I have missed the Fridays sooo much. I have oodles to get done - had planned to take DD swimming, but a small cashflow issue is occurring . Might let her pay for herself

Love the pics Kel

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 09:43

So... who's got a zombie plan then?

mustrunmore · 20/04/2007 09:47

Painting it green, in an attempt to pretend its not there The last owners of this house seemed to have a concrete fetish; its everywhere. Too expensive to get it taken up/buy the tools to do it ourselves.

Dh leaves an hour early on a Friday once a month (because he doesnt get a lunchhour on the weekend he works basic pay. And ,yes, I know that an hour early doesnt equal 2 days lunchhours ). But bcause he's taking the extra 15 mins too, and is biking, thats why he's home so early today! Its between 15 and 30 mins quicker to bike than the bus.

mustrunmore · 20/04/2007 09:47

What is that? I keep seeing the thread but not quite getting to it!

mustrunmore · 20/04/2007 10:06

Ah, read it. No zombie plan, but dh is amidst formulating a nuclear one And everyone seems to think its funny that we have an escape ladder in our wardrobe!

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 10:06

Its a plan for what happens if Zombies happen... where you go to save yourselves Someone's DH & his mate asked her what their zombie plan was!!

Most husbands seem to have one

I was expecting the concrete to be something monet inspired... bit disappointed now

mustrunmore · 20/04/2007 10:09

Well, I'm sure Monet wouldn't have kept it concrete colour either...

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 10:13

A monet inspired painting on the concrete you daft bint!

We used to have an escape ladder too

mustrunmore · 20/04/2007 10:14

I know But the fact that he'd have wanted it natural too is as close as we get!!!

What happenend to your ladder then?

Flamesparrow · 20/04/2007 10:19

I have no idea what happened to our ladder

Bet Picasso wouldn't have wanted it natural lookin

CantSleepWontSleep · 20/04/2007 12:31

Pippa did try to paint your patio interesting colours mrm, but you didn't seem to like her abstract hummous painting much .

Is your ladder one of those ones you chuck out the window to escape on in the event of fire etc? I keep intending to get one of those, but never get round to it.

Mary Jane crocs have arrived this morning. They aren't as wide as I was expecting, so my toe is bashing the top a bit. Do they soften up a bit with wear ellenrose?

2boysmacca · 20/04/2007 12:53

lol at the escape ladders. I am sure in the event of a fire, you'd wouldn't have the inclination to search for a ladder and throw it out of the window!

I was pre occupied with a grizzly toddler this morning to say anything more than morning. Pilates was very very slow. It was all about using your core muscles which I have done through phyiso, yoga and pilates etc. The whole hour was based on learning to breathe etc etc. I will go to the gym next week so I know I have done some exercising. Did enjoy it though

Dh got offered the job this morning . No more free sky for us now actually

I hate that bloody tv programme, what the hell is it all about anyway?

Bad night here too. Ds was sleeping with us as my mum had his bed and ds2 woke 3 times. The 3rd time he woke, I had to cuddle him for an hour before he's go back off to sleep. Ds wanted to get up with daddys alarm at 5.30 so I stayed in bed and got woken at 6.45 (smile) by ds saying he was ready for breakfast. Dh had left him watching tv and tootled off to work at 6.20 . I felt very guilty

We're off for a picnic this afternoon.
