i really do need to get a life

evening all - still not recovered from last nights lack of sleep - so going to sit in garden with dh and have nice glass of wine.

Nutty - will post wraps in morning - the Jo fold is a good one to move on to - will email you a folding sheet

Maveta - great news about the tongue tie

CD - 9.30 am

See you all tomorrow xxx

Evening all!

You're welcome to discuss composting with me anytime nutty, my dear - I love my composter!!

How sad am I!!?

Erm. I dunno what the fold I use with my Terries is - you fold two opposing corners to the middle and then align the remaining two corners along the top to make a "triangle with a flat head" sort of shape - If that makes any sense at all!!!!? here's a comprehensive guide to lots of different folds with pictures .... they can probably explain it much better than I ever could!!

How has everyone's weekends been?? DH is on paternity leave this week ........

CD have you just had another baby?
I didn't realise you could defer paternity leave, good idea though

• Another baby - not right now - scary thought .....

You can take your paternity leave up to 6 weeks after the baby is born .... as P was born over a Bank Holiday, DH took a few days annual leave when P was born (so not to lose his Bank Holiday) and is taking his paternity now ...

Does that make any sense at all!!!!? Probably not ......

Yes it did - we had a similar dilemma but I didn't realise you could put it off. Not that we would I don't think.
Glad you've not had another baby when no-one was looking

No - definitely not!

oops lazyemma - how remiss of me. it went out of my mind that you were over the forth bridge! it'd be good to get us all together!

back again - thats a kite fold dippy!

Congratulations on your good news btw

annoyed here - wnt to have quiet bath and early night but ds2 not asleep and banged on door/shouted all the way through arrrghhh - so have come back downstairs for a beer!!

dh going to give ds3 a bottle later so can get a long sleep in - shoudl really go to bed!

Was distracted by mention of beer Octo when you said Dh was giving ds3 a bottle later I thought booze not milk!

Def time for bed

G has got jabs tomorrow and we've been invited to a teddy bears picnic in the afternoon. Not sure it'll be doable after nasty needles and considering that I suspect he has an allergy. We'll see.

Goodnight all.

Leo has another cold and has been in a state all day. I have not been able to put him down and resorted to giving him some calpol earlier even though he is not 3 months for a couple of weeks. I went to bed with him this afternoon so am now not tired - arrggh - but should try and get some shut eye...

Just a hi from me - read all the posts so up todate but not much energy to post myself. Busy weekend - we also had a wedding which was lovely. Then took the kids to a festival performance last night no one to bed until midnight so all a bit shattered today.

Oh I just remembered - hope the breastfeeding is better maveta after N snip - well done for perserving. BF has clicked into place for me after 6 weeks and it is great especially in this hot weather - well english hot weather!

Have to sleep........ night

Boo! Just expressing a feed, then off to bed myself.....

good morning folks. up expressing in the early daylight..... looks like it'll be a lovely one

morning everyone

Morning all.

Lesley, hope the jabs go ok today.

WCL, I thought you could give them Calpol from 2 months - sure that's what it says on the box..

Zaza's, sounds like you had a wonderful weekend.

Hope everyone has had good sleeps. K slept until 6.15 and dh got up with her. Shattered though as B was up at 3.00 - only for a drink, but took me an age to get back to sleep.

Dh away tonight with work, and am already dreading the bedtime routine for the 2 of them.

Having real trouble with B at the moment.

Need to get on. See you all later.xx

You can give homeopathic remedies from birth - also can't overdose on them - pulsatilla is good for blocked noses - just crush up the little tablets and pop them in their mouth.

Camomilla is also great for teething (teetha powders) but you can also give it to them for general restlessness and grouchiness - the homeopath said that when they cry and it makes you feel irritable rather than going ahh poor thing - that is when to give camomilla!

I have a whole list of stuff - do you want me to email it out to you all? If yes - someone needs to email me the up to date list of emails and I will reply to all.

Having quiet day at home - going to feed ducks this afternoon

Yes please Octo have just sent an email with up to date contacts

Got to go crying baby xx

nice to see you remembered little me luce...wo didnt...dont worry though he is now off the xmas card list!!

sounds great to me!!!

Maveta - really glad feeding seems to be going better now. You've done so well persevering this far through it all, hopefully now you'll start to see just how worthwhile it's all been

Oh poo have forgotten everything else Im getting by on very little sleep at the mo (as we all are wsith possible exception of SOL! ) and really dont feel tired, plenty of energy and feel fine EXCEPT my brain just is not working properly, crap memory, concentration, intelligence, ability to form um sentences that make sense and remember big words!!

Have not been giving dylan very many baths as they dry his skin out loads (and did with ds1 too) and he screamed throughout but last night he really seemed to enjoy it and i gave him massage after which he really enjoyed and seemed amazed by, wide eyed throughout

Email would be great thanks octo

Shit gotta gp get ds from plkayschool - where did the morning go

there is a m&p at glasgow fort which is about 10 mins from my house??

dont even talk to me about them...my pram knacked up 2 weeks BEFORE charlie was born, they tried to tell me it was down to inappropriate use...
