Those Wacky Americans!

Toilet papering is, as its name suggests, the act of covering an object (usually a tree, house, or other structure of similar size) with toilet paper. This is typically done by throwing numerous toilet paper rolls in such a way that they unroll in mid-air and thus fall on the targeted object in multiple streams.

Toilet papering, also called TP'ing or Yard Rolling, has become a popular tradition in the United States, and usually takes place after the completion of a school's homecoming football game, as well as on Halloween, though it is not restricted to these dates in any way.

Hello! I just thought I would poke my head in and introduce myself .

My newest addition was born on the 19th January, weighing 9lb 10oz. We named the little cutie Benjamin. He is a very good lad, if not a little cuddly! We are starting him on solids this week, after being exclusively BF. He is trying his hardest to roll, but hasn't quite managed it yet.

We have two other boys, Jack 6.2 and Edward 3.4, and no we are not going to try for a girl, lol.

And men, humf, don't get me started on mine!

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Wilkie - not sure re the moving thing I have taken the bumpers off Hatties cot as she used to try and get under it and she only moves about half way up her cot (at the moment) and can't remember what Ellie did althogh bumpers were on her cot longer than this.

Just been to a 'proper' cafe for breakfast with e and h and met my dad and brother there it was lovely and I am stuffed but we all stink of 'fried bacon' so change of clothes in a minute.

Give us a smile LaL . Lovely hair, I wish mine would go straight like that.

Questions for FF'ers - I have now stopped BFing ( but that I can now have drink!) ... how do you organise your bottles so you don't have to get up early and sterilise a bottle, boil the kettle and wait for it to cool down before you can feed LO? How long can you make up bottles for and leave them before using them? Do you make up all the feeds in one go or just put the water in the bottles and add the powder as needed? I must have done this 4 years ago but can't remember!

MandaPanda - welcome!!

Hattie - I make up all the feeds in advance and store them in the fridge. They keep for 24 hours. You can also just put the water in the bottles and add the powder as you go using one of those powder dispensers with three compartments.

J rolled today from back to front - YEY!! Clever boy

LAL - your text made me laugh. Haircut looks fab.

Laughalot, this is the latest from the food standard agency

taken from this thread that I posted on which made me change the whole way I've made bottles

I used to make them all in advance but now do it as per Hatricks suggestion on the thread.

LTH - it was me asking about FF, LaL probably knows what she's doing!

Oh gawd, looks like i'm doing it all wrong then! Thanks for the advice and links.

LadyTophamHatt · 26/05/2007 19:52

Gosh it has been quiet on here the last couple of days!

Typical as DH is away on an old boys rugby game today and tonight so home alone.

Just put Ruth and LUke to bed on my own for the first time. [proud emocicon] I know it sounds silly but either DH puts Luke to bed or my mum has happened to be here to help.

Tonight everyone has a life except me so I will be staying in watching Joseph and eating junk!

Wilkie - I have the opposite problem with Ruth. She shimmys to the bottom of the cot and has also mastered rolling from her front to her back. Cant manage to get her to stay on her front so dont hold out much hope of getting her to roll onto it out of choice. No solution as to the head against the cot though. And yes, I still get weird flutterings but have to say I have just put them down to wind!

Welcome mandapanda!

Laughalot - Hair looks gorgeous! Is it very different to before?
