Hi all, haven't been on for a few days. So first the good news - I got up on Weds morning and the pain in my coccyx had just about disappeared (i don't know if it popped back into place overnight or what). However I've felt really down this morning, I don't know why really - i think part of it is missing my family (it's been so nice spending time with them) and DH has been a pita (forgetting to do important stuff and having to be constantly reminded - it's like looking after 2 kids ).

Anyway DH took the day off work to look after me and we went into town and I sorted out ctf account and other accounts type things for Erin. Then went for lunch and on the way home we stopped off at the local mother and baby group. I really enjoyed it, everyone was v friendly so I'll definitely go again - it really cheered me up. Bought a 'taggie' style blanket (the woman who runs the group makes them) not that Erin was v interested! (All the toys they had and she slept for the first hour - despite another kid throwing a brick at her )

Welcome Lazyemma - pretty much the same here on the playing front! only thing is a relative of DH bought Erin a spongebob rattle and she's a bit obseessed with it so I have to play spongebob every day .

Pampers users I have some vouchers if anyone would like them, i'm happy to post them just let me know - email me on hazel @ the raisons . me . uk (without the spaces!)

wrt nappies - I'm using terries and loving it, the only problem i have is occasionally they leak if Erin pees a lot but that's mainly cos the plastic pants are still a bit big for her.

wrt wipes - i'm using huggies pure wipes. I had to start using wipes cos of my bad back and to be fair huggies pure ones don't irritate her skin. I just throw pooey liners/wipes in the bin...is that wrong???

Elkie - at you needing a&e, hope you're feeling much better now.

CD - at no-one helping you with the pram.

lol @ Ellie & Joe show!

Oh and I got the reply to hospital complaint - some bits were crappy (i.e. they said i'd been examined at 1.25am but i hadn't been and stuff like that) but they were v apologetic and it sounded like they'd given the mw a roasting! Am tempted to send a quick reply making a few points but might not get time (e.g. they don't offer debriefing sessions cos community mw can do that but I'd like to point out comm mw doesn't have notes regarding labour). Still it's helping me to put a line under it, IYKWIM.

Glad the pains gone nutty - GREAT news! I use Teries too - absolutely fab - don't use plastic pants though, I use wraps over the top....

Have had a PIG of a day Hoping tomorrow is much better, esp with the big Wedding & everything ......

nuttygirl · 08/06/2007 21:01

Hi CD, sorry you're having a bad day. Perhaps a glass of wine is in order

Right off to watch Mark Harmon - yummy!

octo · 08/06/2007 21:02

Nutty - ernie has outgrown his small rikki wraps - they fit up to 12lbs - you can borrow them if you like - email me at vickifinn at tiscali dot co dot uk and will post them to you.

wcl - lol at shiniest hair! dd was fab - I was just sooo relieved my boys weren't there as they would have turned into frenzied feral children!

hello to everyone else - brain a bit frazzled - can't remember what have read! Am off to bed xxx

Peshatilsome1findsmeanewname · 08/06/2007 21:25

Have you seen this Are you a slut? ?

I took the test earlier then minimalised it, disconnected and forgot about it. DP found it and read all my answers Luckily I've always been really open with him and he was laughing, but think he was torn between being amused, aroused and insecure!! He's gone to work now so if he had a problem with it he will probably text me about it soon.

Oh and yes, I am a slut!

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 08/06/2007 21:38

Pesha!!

Feeling knackered, but organised for tomorrow, which is good. Going to have a nice soak in the bath with Baileys & chocolate & then off to bed .....

"See" you later on ....

doobypoo · 08/06/2007 21:40

HELLO ALLAll i can manage.Think of you all loads

Sexonknackeredlegs · 08/06/2007 21:46

Hi loves

CD, sorry to hear you are having a bad day. Hope the evening is better.

Hi Octo, Pesha and Nutty.

Quiet on here today.

Had a lovely day as I met my cousin for lunch.

Having a crap evening tho. Took an hour and a half to settle Katie, and she still doesn't sound that settled. Bloody monitors, I really should switch it off, as we would hear her if she as crying! Sat hear listening to every squeak and winding myself up which is annoying dh.

Right, off to bed methinks, as not sure what sort of night we are going to get and it looks as tho it will be me getting up.

Hope everyone has a good evening. xx

Sexonknackeredlegs · 08/06/2007 21:47

Dooby!!!! Hello!!!

CD, enjoy your bath and have a wonderful day tomorrow sweetheart. x

Hi Ellie & SOKL & anyone else I might have missed.

LesleyR · 08/06/2007 22:49

I'm off to bed now.

Pesha I did the quiz and was 55%. Would die if my DH saw answers, he's a lot more conservative than I am.

Going now as Big Brother is on and I need to switch tv off so I don't get sucked in.

LesleyR · 08/06/2007 23:00

Def off to bed now.

This is funny/scary

geordiemacminx · 09/06/2007 06:58

geordiemacminx · 09/06/2007 07:34

Got the oven heating up for croissants, then will be making a pot of coffee too - lovely day up here so we are off to the springwatch festival over in the west end...

Sexonknackeredlegs · 09/06/2007 08:03

K settled and slept until 7.00 - HURRAH!!

Lovely weather here as well. Dh taking B to snow cubs today - a session for children on a dry ski slope!! Scary!

Anyway, have a lovely day all. Back later. x

geordiemacminx · 09/06/2007 08:17

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 09/06/2007 09:09
