All packed and ready to go.

Thanks for the e-mail scoot..

Cam, hope you are ok. Yes, we drive all the way back, 6hrs 30mins our side and then about 2 and a bit down to Grannies from Dover, I think. H and M are pretty good in the car usually as long as Maddie is not sick and will keep her hands off her brother.
Harrison really not looking forward to sitting next to Maddie all the way as she will annoy him. Can't put Jorja in the Middle though as Maddie would poke her all the way. I may leave Maddie at home that would make things much easier.

Have a good 10 dys all, gonna miss ya. xx

Great to see you on here dejags and I'm pleased that C is so well again. What a relief for you.

Anybody in touch with jessinwa?

Mathilda weighs something ridiculous like 12lb. I shudder to think what the last bit of exclusive feeding will be like at this rate. And then there's the teeth. I used Mothercare's feeding room yesterday- oh the nursing chairs, I have chair envy- and there was a woman feeding a 6 month old who had no interest in lying still to feed. He kept turning round to giggle at Mathilda, nipple in mouth. His poor mother said it's like the first week again with the chewing/pulling/messing about. So, good to know it comes full circle then.

re co-sleeping you will be wholly unsurprised to know that it's the norm chez SOH but we have no worries with falling out of bed as we still sleep on the living room floor- partly due to my coccyx and it has allowed me to watch DVDs all night long when she's in for her marathon sessions. She sleeps next to me and we just have a thin cotton blanket over both of us. She sleeps on her side naturally anyway so faces me all night, latches on for a feed, taps me on the nipple if I'm in the wrong place or she can't get comfy, otherwise I don't really wake up now, she just helps herself and then goes back to sleep on her own. They have filmed women co-sleeping and they naturally lie protecting the baby and instinct prevents you rolling over them. In the UK it's deemed fine to co-sleep and it is just advised that you avoid duvets, don't drink or smoke and remove the baby if you're exhausted. I couldn't do it any other way. Once we're back in our bedroom I'm going to get one of those cots that fits to the side of your bed so we can just effectively extend the bed so she's with me but has her own room to move. I love it, she follows me round the bed in her sleep and snuggles up to my tummy snoring and snuffling. When DH wakes up at 5am he puts her on his side so he can doze with her for an hour and have a cuddle before putting her back with me and making me breakfast in bed. Works fantastically and will be sad to stop. I think as the weather starts to cool and we need a duvet again we'll have to start putting her on her own in a cot but I'm not thinking about it just yet. I don't worry about her while she's there as I can feel her and hear her but if she was separate from me I'd have to keep getting up to check on her.

AbbyLou have read up about jabs and it seems that babies can have the reaction you describe for the first 24hrs. Feeding, cuddling and a little Calpol seems to be the recommendation. M has hers on Fri and I'm dreading it.

Scoot with you on the Haagen Dazs. Just had half a tub of strawberry cheescake. Even better it's DH's icecream so that means the calories don't affect me right?

Pebblemum watch that HV, if she has her hair cut like yours you're in big trouble.

MrsJB will miss you. Get my mobile number off LG&T so I can harrass you by text while you're MIA. Have a good time, enjoy the wedding!

Got to go and convince DH we don't need to watch GI bleeding Jane as it's a pile of pants. Demi Moore and her shaved head grumping about the place is too much for my hormonal, exhausted brain to cope with.

Night night all.

cinnamontam · 03/07/2007 23:27

Hey all - so much going on with everyone. Have been out all day so have just skimmed through but will read in more detail later.

However re: cosleeping - we do it with Matilda some of the time. She normally starts off in her hammock and then after the night feed will often stay with us. We use a doona (Oz for duvet) and it's just over her feet and she sleeps up against me in the crook of my arm. She is a quiet sleeper so it doesn't bother either of us and I find that I stay in the same position all night with her in the crook of my arm. It's lovely

Only prob is I have to lock the cats out otherwise they would sit on her. Feel bad for the cussies.

charleymouse · 04/07/2007 05:32

Okay ladies, after showing off and posting twice in ten minutes not ben able to get on. We are the house of lurgy! DD been poorly since last Wednesday with cold/fever/cough (to point of throwing up whatever she's eaten plus slimy yuck). Anyway G was off it over the weekend, got a runny nose and cough. I rang SCBU oon Mpnday toask if he could have Calpol and they said to check the box which said not if under 4kg so did not give it. Set alarm for Mon night at usual feed times in case his croaking was not heard and he was a bit lethargic but fed. Tuesday am he did not feed even though I was shoving these swollen norks in hes face. At lunchtime he just went all floppy and grey so we whizzed straight off to A & E. He was seen immediately and is now on Childrens ward with either, chest infection/bronchilitis/menginitis, they can't decide. He is on antibiotics, on oxygen, was on a nasal tube for feeds but they have now stopped that and got him on a drip instead to let his little body try to fight the infection and help him rest a little.

I am so scared, we came home during the night to make sure DD was okay and get a bit of rest plus we weren't actually being constructive and DH looked a wreck. Going back first thing this morning and have rung twice in night. So much for good nights sleep. Will try and catch up later but please pray for G. I can't lose another baby it will kill me. I am sat here in a blur wondering what I have done to deserve this, am up at usual time expressing to ensure milk stays flowing so will have a freezer of ebm in no time. foolishly looked in moses basket and it hit me he was not here.

Scoot meet up would be great, let us know when you are up North! Cheers. Read your post the other day but have not caught up with any other posts. Take care and hope everyine is okay. please excuse typos - no glasses on and eyes a bit blurry.

charleymouse · 04/07/2007 05:36

Sorry for moaning just seen LG&T Beau is not well hope he is better soon. Right going back to bed for a nap (hopefully) or wil be physical wreck by am.
Take care and give those babes a hug and a squeeze.

aprilmeadow · 04/07/2007 06:48

Oh Charley poor little George. Will be thinking of you all and praying that he has a speedy recovery.

Lupins71 · 04/07/2007 07:40

CM my thoughts are with you and your family, you know how fab they are in scbu and he is in great hands, I do understand how scary it is willow went grey and floppy and stopped breathing once and it was the one of the most awful things ever, pls update us and I am praying for a speedy recovery for your little man

Jelly congrats on your new arrival

Dejags so glad to hear Carys is doing well

LGT sorry to hear of all your troubles, hopefully the paed will be able to put your mind at ease, hope your car trouble get sorted soon as well

Well you will be pleased to hear that after my little moan yesterday and feeling at my wits end my little guy decided to feed evry 2.5hrs ahhhhhhhhh much better, also dp didnt get out of bed till 1.30, he asked me what was wrong so i laid it bear said i was totally fed up with him, his attitude, lack of support for me, said we had no relationship and i didnt see the point, so we had a big discussion on wether he should stay or go and how we could try and work things out, I have told him this is the last time I will try and get things fixed between us, so fingers crossed it will work this time, I know he is "ill" but really alot of it is pure lazyness, so feeling brighter today, ds was only up twice in the night, and i have taken him off of the hungry baby milk - far too many poos think its a bit rich, thanks for listening

Re the weaning thing, god cant believe we are dicsussing this already, anyway I weaned dd from her actual birth date at just under 4 months, she was 5 weeks early and ate everything put in front of her, have been reading on weaning board and it is only 6 months because when it was 4 months people were weaning babies that werent ready for it earlier than nessecary, so i think a bit of common sense and mums judgement is the best way to decide, I dont think he ready yet at all altho if he carries on eating like that i will be wishing away the time lol

Hope all the little ones are feeling bit better today with thier colds

And big hugs to all those babies out there, you are soooo precious

cameroonmama · 04/07/2007 07:50

Oh Charley, I feel like crying for you, remember G is a fighter, all our prayers and thoughts are with you.

twelveyeargap · 04/07/2007 10:25

My prayers are with you all Charley. x

InTheseShoes · 04/07/2007 11:45

Charleymouse, thinking of you all - hoping that you have better news today. He is in the best possible place.

Dejags, good to see you again and hear that Carys is making such good progress.

Don't know what Ted weighs at the moment, meant to take him today, but you know how these things don't quite happen the way you expect them to! Taking him (finally) to be registered today, it's been a while coming, so at least he will be official later on! Looking forward to the backdated child benefit .

Re: co-sleeping, am I the only one patently not doing it at all? T sleeps in his cot in our room, I can't trust myself not to squash him in the night! We have snoozed on the bed together in the day a bit, but the thought of a whole night! I think he will be in our room for longer than A was though, for one he is a quieter sleeper, and also, when he goes in his own room, we have no spare room anymore, so putting it off at bit, especially as we have his Baptism coming up in a fortnight, and then all sorts of things over the summer. I was thinking of moving him once he's not waking in the night, or when I go back to work, whichever's first. I like having him close by for night feeds, especially as I am exclusively bf still, A was having one bottle of formula a night by this stage, which M gave him, so not quite the same.

Had to give in and buy some new bigger jeams yesterday, I need them as it's not the weather for wafting around in roomy linen trousers and forgiving summer skirts. I feel cheated out of a summer off work! I got some the usual size, but from a more forgiving shop size wise (New Look Inspire as opposed to Next) - I like them a lot, and I feel a bit more normal now!

juliewoolie · 04/07/2007 12:13

Hope things are a bit more positive this morning charleymouse.

ITS I am not co-sleeping am too scared as my DP rolls over me in the night so cant risk putting A in with us. I have agreed to put A in his own room when he hits 2 months - not looking forward to having to get up out of bed to feed him though lets hope he sleeps through by then . I am tyring to get him used to his cot and bedroom by putting him in there for daytime naps.

Is anyone using lillypadz instead of breast pads ran out of the latter yesterday so am trying lillypadz out today have I got a duff pair as they sort of dont stick to my skin.

katybump · 04/07/2007 14:05

hi all remember me? laptop broke so couldnt post, got a new one now. well i had a little girl on 30th april 7lb 11 going by the name melody rae. shes beautiful . congratulations to all of you , tried to catch up but iv got no chance xx

AbbyLou · 04/07/2007 14:38

CM thinking of you and your family, hope little G is better soon.
ITS no you're not. Evil, wicked mother that I am, R has been in her own cot, in her own rooom from 3 days old! I lasted 2 weeks with ds but he was a quiet sleeper. R is very noisy in the night and none of us could sleep. She sleeps in her room nest to us. She only wakes once in the night and we take it in turns to do a night so every other night one of us gets a full, uninterrupted night's sleep. It works perfectly for us and that's why we do it. Ds showed no ill effects of not sleeping with us, in fact completely the opposite. He has always been a fantastic sleeper - through the night fro 11 weeks and just about every night since apart from illness etc. He moved from a cot to a bed like a dream and loves his sleep/bed.

dejags · 04/07/2007 15:20

Charleymouse - you poor, poor thing.

I know only too well how frightening. I hope that by the time you read this that G is well on the way to recovery and coming home soon. Try not to think the worst - you'll drive yourself nuts.

You are all in my prayers!!!

Love
dejags xx

Pebblemum · 04/07/2007 17:33

Thinking of you and George Charleymouse, hope he is soon back home with you {{hugs}}

Co-sleeping- Alana joins me in bed at around 6am when she wakes for her feed. Ive found that by leaving her in bed with me I get a bit more sleep as she will drift off quite happily after stuffing her face but if i put her straight back into her moses basket she ends up with hiccups and gets ratty. I dont let her sleep in bed all night with me (well not on purpose anyway) but only because i like to move around and fidget and if she's in there with me i tend to lie in one position. I dont have to worry about Dh squashing her because he very rarely makes it to bed he comes in from work in the early hours and falls asleep watching tv, i get the whole bed to myself.

Alana is still sleeping well, at least 6-7hrs a night, its great!! I had planned to get her weighed today but just as we were leaving she decided to do a 'power poo', it was everywhere and by the time i cleaned her up it was too late, my parents were on their way round and i didnt have time to get to the clinic and back Oh well i will have to wait another week!!

Went out to lunch today with dh, MIL, and dh's Aunt and husband. It was lovely, i fed Alana before we left and she behaved really well while we were eating. The manager of the restaurant came over and spent ages making a fuss of her which she enjoyed of course, A just loves all the attention. She only fell asleep a couple of minutes before we came home and has been asleep ever since, she is due a feed but doesnt seem to want to wake up yet. Everytime i try to wake her she screws her face up, moans and goes back off. Oh well Im sure she will wake up when she is ready and will then feed for England.

Katybump and Jelly Belated congratulations on your new additions

Is Jessinwa the only one not accounted for now? Hope all went well with her move and the baby, hopefully she will get back on here one day

largeginandtonic · 04/07/2007 19:44

Oh Charleymouse, lots of love on the way to you and little George.

If you like email me/ text me and i will have a chat to you. The twins did much the same thing as George is. I bought Jacob home the day before xmas eve and was due to pick up Sam the next day, when i got in there to get Sam they said he couldnt go home and was being transferred to the childrens ward as he had Bronchiolitis. I was told SCBU couldnt keep him in case he infected the other babies. I had to have Jacob admitted to as they were sure he would get it. I was so overwhelmed by it as i really thought we were through it and they would be coming home.

Overnight i checked on Jacob who was next to his brother in seperate cots (sam in his little oxygen hood over his head) Jacob with no monitors or anything as he showed no symptoms. I have no idea why i checked him but i did, he was blue. Jacob then got much worse than Sam and had to be transferred to Addenbrokes (we were in Peterborough) He went back on a ventilator for 5 days. Sam improved in a couple of days and came home just before new year. Jacob was transferred on xmas day to Addenbrokes and took another 5 days to come home.

I was distraught, i cuold not believe the recovery of them both though. It really was amazing They seemed so helpless (both weighed 4 and a half pounds then) It was terrifying but they are fine. They came home and were reaching all normal targets by the time they were a year old

Please let me email you and we could talk

Ok am all emotional now, am thinking of you all xxxxx

largeginandtonic · 04/07/2007 21:14

Here is my email [email protected]

Huge Hugs to you xxx

Befsnork · 04/07/2007 22:36

congrats katy and jelly

cm thinking of you and george x

had b awful eve with L screaming her lungs out until DP took her out for a walk in the sling for 10 mins. left her with dp and SIL when i went shopping this morning and think as a result she didn't have enough mummy time. another odd thing - took tyg's suggestion and expressed last night which was the milk i left them with when i went shopping. each time she had it she slept soundly very quickly - do you think there might be sleepy stuff in night time milk which helps them sleep? hm.

right, must crash as all that screaming has worn me out
xx

twelveyeargap · 04/07/2007 23:43

Oh how odd! I think your milk is definitely different qualities at different times of day. I suppose if you express at another time of day and she behaves differently, it might tell you something! Oh, do you know what, I read something somewhere about women getting sleepy whilst breastfeeding if there's a very high level of oxytocin in the milk. Perhaps there's extra oxytocin in night milk and the baby gets sleepy?

DH tried to give A a bottle of EBM this evening, but she wouldn't take it from him. He was a bit gutted when she took it from me. It's her first time with a bottle for ages though, so I said I'd give her one again tomorrow and then he can try again the next day.

A was in her own room from 16 days old as DH was going back to work. TBH, we have all slept better since we moved her as well. I had her in the bed the other night when she was a bit snuffly and grumpy and she fed on and off all night, I think just because my boobs were there and she could smell the milk. Meant I got a sh'te night's sleep too. I much prefer going up to her room once during the night and once early morning and then going back to my own bed for a proper sleep.

Very glad to hear that Carys is getting better, Dejags.

elkiedee · 05/07/2007 00:29

Hi all, I gatecrashed your thread a few times when I was getting fed up with my late due in April baby - he finally turned up on 4 May. One of you (Befsnork?) kindly invited us to Bethnal Green next Tuesday so I'm just dropping by to say hi quickly and that I do plan to turn up, with baby Danny.

I'll be away for the next few days but will drop by again on Monday if I don't get to before.

Charleymouse, sorry to hear of your baby's illness and hope he gets better.

charleymouse · 05/07/2007 00:39

Hi Ladies quick update. Thanks for all your good wishes. G is still in hospital they can not decide what he has, he has had loads of blood tests, a chest X-ray, a lumbar puncture and swabs from mouth/nose/belly button. He looks a better colour today and is grizzly I feel so much better as he has cried today. He is on two lots of antibiotics one to fight meningitis and one pneumonia although they don't know if he has either yet.
He just looked so pathetic yesterday and didn't even cry having a canular put in. He has taken a dummy as well this afternoon as he wants to suck as they are keeping him hydrated but he is nil by mouth so my boobs ache just looking at him. If positive thinking can achieve anything then hopefully he will make a full recover but it looks like we have a way togo yet. We will see consultant tomorrow and hopefully get some of the test results back. Thanks again.

Re co sleeping DD slept with me in spare room (DH is a smoker) although only outside or under extractor fan and G does sometimes as we both get a better nights sleep. Really enjoy it it is so snuggly.

LG&T hope you have got car sorted and played merry hell with garage. Hope you have a nice holiday, just think if the weather stays it will be a saililng one instead and the kids will still love it anyway. I daren't ask what your normal 'single best thing a woman can do for herself' is or is it just my mucky mind? Sorry B not well just got further up and seen he has probs, hope you ge it sorted. Big hugs. See further up all is getting better. Cheers, I always feel better when someone else has been there and done it so to speak.

JW hopefully settled down with hoover on - handy tip is to squirt furniture polish near front door so house smells spic and span even if you haven't done anything, any mucky bits spotted were just missed. Oops! Hope osteopath helped. It helps when I am expressing if I shove the side of the breast whilst pumping a bit of pressure helps some more come out.

BS wash hair and pump milk - praise the lord it's a miracle or it would be in my house anyway. Wish I had a mum and baby cinema near me want see J Depp as a pirate (titters re pirate porn thread earlier discussion)

PJ my DH the same, I take him/DD t work/nursery each morning (20 miles), then do return trip later to collect. When he gets home he asks what I have done all day. Apart from feed/change G and fetch and carry him and DD obviously nothing. He does now realise what atoddler is like though after me being in hospital for a while but also thinks that the two years previous were just done by the nappy fairy and the feeding fairy and he has done more than his fair share. Funnily DD wants daddy to do her nappies now though hee-hee. (I can't really complain though as he does all cleaning.)

CM agree with you re DH, mine is more a toddler person than baby person. Sorry DS being a tinker. DH had same thing today at hospital as nurse tried to settle G DH said what we would do and she insisted on picking him up whereby he had a dicky fit.

AMe DD/DS are both fartypants not even veggie even DD nursery have commented on her distinct smell! Was contemplating haircut/colour also now seems insignificant but I know it will make me feel loads better, had planned for it late April but obviously best laid plans and all that. Didn't want to put G in atmosphere of hairspray and chemicals and it seems awfully selfish to think about going whilst he is in hospital although it would probably be the best option.

Scoot hope your cousin wasn't affected by the floods, we are just off the road on our estate that was flooded luckily up a small incline - phew. Healthy vibes coming your way to avoid MIL visit. Meet up subject to G status would be great.

JL glad feeding is getting easier. Oh no re overhang, just told MID will wear my overhang with pride as recognition of 3 babies!

SOH sorry do not know about calcium levels. Glad you were helped out although nowt to do with me either but well done you lovelys who were responsible. I know what you mean though about feeling cheated, I feel I have let G down and failed B by not making him properly. I am convinced I HAVE TO BREASTFEED G to compensate in someway . I know, not logical but who said I had to be. Sorry beg to differ but have thought about next one DH wants snip though. After first time took 18 months for AF to return. Hurrah for Breastfeeding so may be too old by the time anything may happen but here's hoping I can talk him round. G was fine after his first dose of jabs buy calpol just in case cos if you don't have it you will need it and if you do you won't. IYSWIM DD fine after all hers also. Try olive oil/lansinoh for Cradle cap works a treat oops repetition of previous poster. The on bit of advice BF support worker gave me which did ease the pressure is your baby will love you whatever you feed him/her - echo 12YG maybe try EBM and let someone else do it whilst you rest. I succumbed with G and tried a dummy one day and was proud/disappointed he didn't want it. They tried it again at the hospital today as he wants to suck but is nil by mouth at the mo and he wouldn't have it and I felt gutted for him. He had my little finger for 10 mins though and settled down. (I now stand corrected after we got back he took it) Book in to GPs but if she takes a turn for the worse then go to A&E. Try not to panic though. Glad you know whats what now p'raps I should read a few posts before replying tho'. G is on allsorts (not the liquorice kind) and you have to think that is better than the discomfort of being unwell.

PM Well done re ds2 and the cycling you must be very proud. Hope he does not have what we have had in our house, temperatures/phlegm/sick/lifelessness etc. Took DD to GP last week as she was so off it and you have prob seen about G further up. (Now on catch up duties it sounds awful but my Mum has DD and G is in hospital so I have time to kill) Hope you are all better now. PM done nothing you have been R&R. Sorry to hear about your flood.

AM'w Ironing what is that? Love that mewing sound though. Does G get a prize?

12YG hope you had a smashing birthday. You look very glam as well deffo a yummy mummy. Hurrah for your DH wishing to procreate and congrats on his new job.

MID - with you on the overhang I look like the before adverts for surgery in the back of magazines don't know what to do about it yet though. Snap re the bubble also, I find if I am a bit constipated it hurts/bleeds but if drink plenty and stools softer it shrinks away. (sorry if TMI) Need to drink loads as most of my fluid seems to go to milk production and have dry poo if not drunk enough. Decided to wear my overhang with pride as recognition of 3 babies! Still in mat clothes although a bit loose. Honest. F will be fine you are doing a grand job

MrsJB welcome back to blighty, glad Jorja doing okay with feeding

CMT hair looks lovely. Hurrah for your puppies. Are you putting the piccy on your profile? [grin[]

ITS Hope you had a nice lunch for your Dads b'day. I bet if we put G & T together (sounds familiar) it would be comical.

GB I don't change G as often as DD as he is little and they said better ha has a sore bum than tip him up and risk spilling his dinner out straight after a feed. Changed DD loads though. Well done on the sleep. I have a boxed M & P dondolino sp? chair that rocks if required. NCT sale so second hand was £15 if you want it for that you are most welcome. Already have one but other for DT - obviously surplus to requirements now. Could also deliver poss? DH works in Sheffield. Sorry to hear your scar is playing up, mine i okay but I do have the odd twinge now and then and slight puffiness at one end occasionally.

MKG I am a big believer in a bit of dirt does no harm (see my advice to JW re cleaning), DDs nickname is also Conan! Hope the toe feeliing better. Wouldn't worry about the poo although easier said than done.

LW&L hope you enjoyed Shrek and Grandad didn't have too hard a time.

AL with you on the posts still playing catch up and I reply to posts only to realise three posts up all has changed. Ho-hum.

LB sorry can't help withe the wind issue other than advice already on here. Perhaps those of us who are slowpokes (one of DDs favourite sayings) could have a separate thread which is easy to keep up with. Ducks for cover and runs out of room at merest thought of splinter group

JBB congratulations good luck with trying to catch up, I am stll struggling (see my suggestion above)

L sorry dp tablets not kicking in, sounds like A is going great guns though sorry no tipDJ s.

DJ so glad to hear C doing okay, take care sweetie.

Hi KB congratuations.

Thank heavens for MN. Where else would you get such a lovely group of ladies supporting each other.
we had just come home for wash and brush up when I replied to half of these messages then been back to hospital later so may contradict myself sorry also prob loads of typos.
Take care and goodnight. Love CM

PS do i get prize for longest post?

charleymouse · 05/07/2007 00:41

Ooh ED missed you off my post, cheers and congratulations.

aprilmeadow · 05/07/2007 08:50

Wow Charley that was some post. Had to get a cup of tea and some biccies to help me get through it I hope that G has made good progress over night.

LG&T am hoping that luck is on your side now and that Beau and the car are getting better. Didnt mean to sound like i am categorising B and the car as the same..... Say hi to MrsJB and family today for me please

When i was at Gun Wharf on Sat i bought a lovely little cami top top from the Gap Outlet, got it out the bag yesterday and tried it on only to discover that the zip wouldnt do up over my stupidly large bust Obviously not sold in the regular shops. Do you think if i call them and send my top back that they would send me the size i need??

Another good night for Ella. 7.30pm 4.30am 7.50am. Still full of snot so it makes her cries sound very pitiful but is smiling away so cant feel too rotten.

Just had the rest of our garden stuff delivered this morning.. 3tons of top soil, 1 ton of sand and paving slabs. Now that the wall and step are done we are moving onto the patio area and what will be the lawn. Just need to order the top turf next week then i think we should be done - YAY

I received an email this morning from a friend who works for a travel agency, and she gave me a discount code that is for 'friends and family'off hotel prices. We have just booked our holiday so missed out on it, but thought that with the summer being so pants and school hols coming up that someone else might be able to make use of it.... www.sunshine.co.uk when you get to the booking page there is a section that says 'member login' or something like that. If you type Cheap Holidays into the user name part it takes takes the cost of the hotel section down to nett rates. I believe that you can use it as many times as you like... Am hoping to take advantage of it for my next holiday

Anywho, i had better get up and dressed as i have already scared the poor lorry driver by appearing in my pjs at the window whilst ds was waving at him!

largeginandtonic · 05/07/2007 09:55

Morning all....

Im waiting for MrsJB We are ging to have scones and clotted cream with jam Not good for the post baby wobble

The car seems to be ok, took it to local garage and they have put a new battery in it so fingers crossed please.

The guy in the garage laughed at me for a full minute when he saw how many childen i had in the car (i had 7 as i had Jonah's friend too) He then laughed for a full 2 minutes when i told him all but one were mine

CM glad that Goerge is doing better, when Jacob was taken to Addenbrokes they tested him for meningitis and other stuff too. Turned out they all came back negative, we all had to take antibiotics that made our wee green!!!!!

You know how to get me if you fancy a chat

Come on MrsJB...... IM HUNGRY
