csws Is she getting too much dairy and feeling unwell again?

Nah - only getting teeny tiny bits of dairy still, as I can't really test her allergy when she's teething, which I think is the cause of the problem.

We went out to Whooosh's for a while today and she was fine there - all chirpy and running around (she did ask for boo-boo a few times, but I only fed her once, and not for long), but I left her asleep in the car when we got back, and ever since she woke up from that she's been a miserable demanding feeding horror! I tried to take her outside to play but she screamed, I tried to give her food but she screamed for particular things and then refused to eat them, I made her favourite tea but she demanded my glass of squash which she then didn't want when I offered, and left her food again. 5 mins later she demanded milk, which she's then been demanding every couple of minutes since [sigh].

for Pippa and CSWS

Anyone wondering what MRM pushed DS2 off to get freebies at Legoland?

Weird but nice day today - found my ex-boyfriend on facebook (possibly a dodgy thing to do in itself, he broke my heart at 17 ), he accepted the friend request and has been chatting... but we were part of a group of friends that I drifted away from. I didn't add any of the others (mainly because I didn't want them either to refuse me, or to feel obliged to accept) - and two of them have seen me on his and asked me as friends Enjoying catching up, but feeling very much "where has my life gone?" As much as I love the DC, DD wasn't planned and I occasionally wonder what I would have been doing now...

for you too CSWS, its horrible when they have those days....{{{Hugs}}} and have a large glass of wine and watch Heroes hon.
Dd1 has been whingy all day, dh getting mighty pissed off with her, sure its cause she's tired and has an ulcer
Flame, only natural to feel like that at times, I think everyone does don't they?? unless you've been the worlds highest achiever and even then I reckon you could still question yourself! So long as your happy and have your health is what I tell myself when I catch myself griping about what if's
Jas, ouch your lot have been in the wars....
MRM what did you do for that freebie then? must find a date to take ss down there
Hi Macca and everyone else!
Dh has his date for the snip, 2 weeks on Fri for him and from me!

OMG is anyone watching Supernanny? That child is a nightmare (i'm watching it on channel 4+1 btw)

Awwww flame. I love catching up with old flames (in fact you've now got me sending messages to random folk that may or may not be people of the same names that I used to know!), but no point getting sad about what life might have been like. I expect that some bits would have been better, and some bits worse.

I had planned to get married to the boyfriend I had when I was 21. He is so different to dh. I think that with him my life would have been full of extreme highs and extreme lows. With dh it's somewhere in between but more even (and with a higher standard of living ). Who can say which is better, but I wouldn't swap dh and dd for anything.

Frizbe, dh has to go and give his samples soon, then again a month later, so we hould getthe all clear Tell your dh is doesnt hurt but just smells of burning flesh, apparently

csws, I know you're going to hate me for this. But if it was me, I'd just stop bf her, as she doesnt need it except for comfort. And I have no patience and no maternal instinct, as you know! You'll end up with a grown up daughter still coming home for a feed

Legoland... traffic... one hr journey there took THREE hours only an hour back though, and we had 7hrs there. Really good day. And no blood or injuries
Frrebies; Merlin has just bought Tussauds, so we got 4 free passes to a merlin thing. downside was dh had to be there in person, so we thought we couldnt go, but our friends took 2 cars so we could all fit in. So the 4 adults were free, and we got a ticket for ds2 for £10, the other 2 kids were free anyway.
Ds1 was soooo well behaved (although poss only compared to our friends kid), that I let him choose a gift shop thing.... hewent for Duplo pirate set

Got a child free morning this morning!!

Child free hour here whilst I go to the gym then it's into town for the butchers, post office and Waitrose for some little bits. I'm being dragged away......

I don't think telling him about the smell of burning fesh is going to make him any less somehow

Yuk at 3 hours on the motorway. Merlin owns legoland then?.

I'm taking four children to kids club this morning, then only have ds til lunch time. That's as child free as i get.

Flame - you've set me off thinking aboutall my What if's too. (But there are lots more possibilities
I can't imagine any other life now for me though.

Stitches are coming out today.

Child free . Been running yet .

I know I should just refuse, but she screams and cries so much that it's unbearable. I figure that if I can last until the weekend without killing her or myself, then nanny will be here to play with, and we'll be off on hols, so she'll stop by herself. She's currently asleep sprawled across my lap with her mouth round my breast .

Not actually sure what we're doing today. Might take her to Whipsnade for a bit of a run around later.

Now located one old friend on facebook (not a boyf, just a good male friend) .

She's still asleep, but I'm buuuuuuuursting for a wee!

@ burning flesh

I think I am with MRM on this one too... I tihnk that the screaming is probably more temper than distress

Yay for freebies

Very dreams last night linked to my thinkiness... But, the good thing to come out of the catching up - the friend that I thought I had seriously pissed off somehow (she suddenly stopped talking to me) appears to be just generally and genuinely insane - she was talking to them quite happily a few years back, they met her 6 months later and she threw a drink at one of them for no reason

Think DS is finally growing - up in the middle of the night the last 5 nights, he seems to be getting legs at last.

I don't think I told you about his induction at nursery... my normal happy, friendly boy - swiped toys off of babies and pinched the ones who fought back It was sooooooooooooo embarrassing. They seemed to like him anyway though (when he was eating and not being a big thug ) I warned them about his climbing, and had to keep explaining that no, he's not just gone 12 months, he's 18 months!

That sounds like the version of your ds that Pippa knows and loves .

She gives as good as she gets

DH has taken dd out for an hour to go and collect roof bars for the car. I needed a break from the constant screaming and crying because I wouldn't give her more boo-boo .

Off to sort out more holiday stuff.

csws.

ds is also emarassingly agressive with other toddlers and babis. He's fine with bigger kids.

Stitches came out this morning He fell off the sofa this evening and cut the back of his head, so I've had to cut a bit of hair out and steristrip it. He's sat eating tea with a cold compress strapped to his head. I can see ths becoming a regular event

Thought of you this morning csws; went in the £1 shop and found some very-full-of-e-numbers-drinks ... called 'boo-bees'

Jas, Merlin own everything. Or, everything that Tescos doesnt

Speaking of nurseries we've decided today, after me thinking about it for months, that we're going to try get Lewis into one near us for 1 morning a week. Not just yet posibly after xmas or once he's 2. How do you choose a nursery? I think he needs to mix with other kids as at the moment he doesn't at all.

mrm.
Made her go without from just before 'lunch' (which she didn't eat) until after dinner, which she did eat - hurrah! Still demanded boo-bee for the rest of the evening, but went straight off to sleep at 8:!5 despite having LOADS of sleep when she was out with dh.

Could you not just take him to a toddler group instead Phoenix, if that is your only reason for wanting him to go?

for stitches coming out but for new injury Jas. I guess they are all at that accident prone age now. DD trapped her fingers badly in the utility room door this morning (has a closer on it so got her good and proper). No blood or stitches here though.

I don't think I've even heard of Merlin. What sort of thing do they own?

Yes csws but my problem of been terribly shy around people i don't know keeps stopping me from going . And a friend of mine who is no way shy and will talk to everyone and anyone has been to our local one and was put off cos its extremly clique (you know what i mean if i've spelt it wrong) so that made me not want to attempt it even more.

Is it me or have they changed the channel number of CBeebies on Sky. I'm sure it was 617 now it's 614

mrm

A good result for you, too csws. Keep that iron will going and she'll beback to herself in no time.

Yes Phoenix, they have changed the numbers this week. I keep getting it wrong, too.
Go and visit all the nurserys in your area, Phoenix, and put ds on waiting lists for all the ons you like the look of, and decide when they have places/you are ready for him to start.
Could you try toddler group with your confident freind? Or try a different one?Church ones round here are good, as they are cheap, and more incusive if you are shy. I'm not good with new people, but one of the friends I made when DD1 was a baby at toddler group when I didn't know a soul is still a really good friend, despite the fact that our children are all different ages and go o different schools now.

When i say friend i mean accross the road neighbour who i chat to occasionally . She had her dd in Jan 06. Maybe i should make more effort to make some friends. I've been looking and there is a homestart toddler group near us that is on a morning so i might get brave one day and try it.

If you force yourself to do it now, it will get easier (speaks from experience). Once they are dd1s age you don't get to meet mums any more, and making new friends is even harder. One fof the many reasons why I'm not keen on moving. It has taken me ten years living here to make good friends. I don't think I could do it again.
