Blimey I think that's the first time I've logged on clicked threads I'm on and nothing came up. Have I really been off for 3 days?

Have only read this thread and am bit tired so apologies if I miss anyone out.

JoMa - good luck for your first day tomorrow.

CD and WCL - have lovely holidays, hope the weather gremlins behave while you're away.

SOL - hope you and B feel better soon.

Octo - thinking of your family and your MIL.

My sympathies to those with hungry wakeful bubs. G has been a nightmare this week. After his 3 or 4am feed he wakes every hour on the hour for more milk. I feel like I'm being drained!

We had a lovely weekend. Only spent time with dh's family (we usually try and see both) and it was very relaxing. George's great aunt and uncle from Switzerland were quite smitten with him. Anna (dh's aunty) is a very effusive Italian woman, I thought she was going to take a bite out of G she thought he was so yummy! Also she gave us an ENORMOUS bar of chocolate which probably won't last until Wednesday knowing me and my ability to consume choccy.

Right apologies to anyone I've missed but I'm still a bit dizzy and seem worse when I'm tired.

Am I the kiss of death or what?

Goodnight then.

Katy44 · 30/07/2007 07:01

morning everyone

liath · 30/07/2007 07:45

Morning,
Did an archive search and looks like frequent feeding is common at this age and can go on for a while before they settle again. Last night wasn't quite so bad but like Leaky - drained is the word here. Am trying to express for going on a girls's night out wednesday and there's nothing left over to pump!!

Another sunny morning - hurray! Had a BBQ saturday and sunday, was great. Hope this carries on.

Tried to take advantage of the nice weather to potty train dd in the garden but it was a disaster - poo everywhere.

Massed Scottish meet sounds great.

Enjoy your hols everyone, very of everyone going to Devon/Cornwall - used to go there almost every year as a child as we had lots of family there.

Katy44 · 30/07/2007 07:59

morning liath
I'm also at the stage of feeling there's nothing left to express! Last week he fed every 1 1/2 to 2 hours, it's got better in the last couple of days, and it might sound stupid but I do think he's grown a lot in the last week

Sexonlegs · 30/07/2007 08:01

Morning! Beautiful day here.

Now got blocked sinuses, so feel awful. Bring on the Sudafed.

Hope you are all well.

Need to head as loads to do and am going to work later.

Bye all xx

Morning! Well we had a fabulous time in Alcudia. It was like we´d actually paid to go on a package holiday LOL. The apartment was full on 70s kitsch and the block had it´s own pool ringed by palm trees overlooking a lake. But all in that kind of run-down-was-exotic-in-the-70s kind of way.. everytime I saw the pool I started singing ´Club Tropicana´ LOL. It was full on full on Tourist Mallorca which I really hardly ever see as the resorts are really out of the way of anywhere I go. Kind of weird to think that a lot of people probably imagine that when I say I live here when it´s just as alien to me!

The people watching was fabulous, all the little girls with their hair in those holiday cornrows, everyone with bright pink skin and slick with aftersun. We just had the best time. The weather was HOT but the pool had loads of shade so we just hid, I think I might be even whiter now than when I went. If that´s actually possible

Dh has got today off so we´re off to do some errands.. hope you are all well, only skimmed the thread but you all seem fine.. to any and all interested N did two massive poos in a row on friday before we left (yaaaaaay!) so all is well again..

Octo, continuing thoughts to your MIL, dh and all the family xx

elkiedee · 30/07/2007 10:12

Hi all, never thought I'd be feeling Monday morning blues on maternity leave but the week seems to stretch ahead of me at the moment. I have things on Wed, Thur and probably Friday but nothing today.

SOL, sorry to hear you're still feeling rough, how's B today?

liath/Katy/leaky - good luck with surviving the hungry baby thing.

oooggs · 30/07/2007 10:55

hi all - thank you captain dippy for sorting the weather out

Jacks spots was a viral infection and he is nearly clear

hope everyone is ok. Just me and dt's today so pretty quiet

normabutty · 30/07/2007 11:00

Morning all, busy doing laundry and housework here today...just having a break and a cup of tea!!!

sol - sorry you're still not feeling well.

elkie - at least you have stuff planned for later on in the week. Perhaps you could go for a walk if the weather stays nice?!

Oooggs - lol @ quiet!!!

normabutty · 30/07/2007 11:01

Oh and v jealous of your hol maveta!

Liath/Katy - hope your LOs settle down again soon re feeding.

hmm...think Erin may be doing a poo....

oooggs · 30/07/2007 11:06

just changed Erins nappy and she now has spots!!!!

Doing laundry & housework here too nutty - abusing the washing maching

elkiedee · 30/07/2007 11:16

Yes, I might go out to Wood Green for a little while. I need to motivate myself to do something other than mess around online, I think!

normabutty · 30/07/2007 11:17

I've got loads of washing to do....and i have to get it done today cos my parents are coming tomorrow!

Sexonlegs · 30/07/2007 11:35

Hi ladies

Maveta, sounds like you had a fab time at the weekend.

Ooogs, hope the spots clear up soon!

Elkie, Ikwym re the long week ahead. I have nothing planned for much of the week. BORING!!

B is fine thankfully. I think she just has the horrid cold that dh and I have.

Norma, enjoy your parents' visit.

Off to work soon for a meeting. K coming with me again!!

Hope you are all well and enjoying the sun.

Kneehighinnappies · 30/07/2007 14:57

Hi all, hope we all had a good weekend.

Tmi coming up (oh and typing one handed as lola is joining us today)

DH and I had a bit of an accident and accidently had unprotected sex , so off I trotted to the chemist this morning for the "morning after" pill.
There I am standing there with DT's in pram DD1 in my arms and the tool of a bloke decided it was time to check that I knew the risk's involved in having unprotected sex.
prehaps not very diplomatic of me (only half awake) to stand there and yawn, he then proceeded to go into a full on lecture about Sti's and pg.
At that point I became full concious and stood there very went into a rant in front of all the customers saying

"listen Mate, I am not some teenage mother who doesn't know anything about the risks of unprotected sex, As you can see I am MORE than aware of the pg risks, and as for STI's the only person I am sleeping with is my husband, who as far as I know is not sleeping with anyone else so therefore the risk of an sti is very small."

And did I stop there NO I couldn't help myself carried on with my crazed rant

"If you must know I can't go on the pill due to my blood pressure, a symton of my pg, I can't have a coli or implant, so the only option for us while we are waiting for my husband to have his vasectomy is CONDOMS Which Split last night, so if you save the rest of your lecture for someone who has the time or actually needs it I will take my pill and leave, THANK YOU!"

Honest to god I don't know what made me go off on one like that, could be that I haven't slept in 4 months, who knows but I think the next time I go to the chemist it will not be that one!

normabutty · 30/07/2007 15:00

pmsl KHIN...that is fab!!!

Kneehighinnappies · 30/07/2007 15:01

Oh and BTW the condom didn't split, but I wasn't about to give him the satisfaction of me admitting that I made a mistake and got so randy that I had to jump dh's bones!

normabutty · 30/07/2007 15:04

that's even more funny...i'd have never come up with that on the spot!

Kneehighinnappies · 30/07/2007 15:06

I don't know how I did I am usually the type of person who avoids confrontation, but something just snapped in me

normabutty · 30/07/2007 15:07

Well that has really made me laugh!

Kneehighinnappies · 30/07/2007 15:29

I have just added some more recent pictures of my kiddies to my profile

normabutty · 30/07/2007 15:39

KHIN - your pics are fab...meant to say that about the ones on facebook too and forgot

Kneehighinnappies · 30/07/2007 15:49

Has everyone buggered off onto MSN again?
Why is it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo quiet???????
