April 2007 - put fingers in ears, shut eyes and walk away singing la la la la!

[JoMa]

you'll find it works well in all eventualities, growth charts, eldest children, MILs, give it a try

[CaptainDippy]

We've got a FAB baby bouncer that is specially designed to take the weight of a toddler (up to 40lb, I think) It converts into a toddler chair once bubba has gorwn out of it as a bouncer. It is by Fisher Price. I'll try and find a link .....

[CaptainDippy]

Ah Ha .... here it is!

Where's everyone gone? Don't abandon me!!

[EllieK]

I need to pump milk. I have a Tesco order due between 8 and 10. no sign yet. It's gonna arrive as soon as I get my norks out isn't it?

[CaptainDippy]

Oh yes! Do you have to plug into the mains or can you run on batteries and walk around freely!

[EllieK]

shopping here

I knew it would work!

will be the last time I do an online shop tho as the delivery driver stank of smoke

[Sexonlegs]

Ellie, pmsl at you getting your norks out and the Tesco Man turning up!
Bit surprised he smelt of smoke. The Tesco people we have are all lovely, and not smelly at all!

Hi CD. That bouncer looks really good.

Waiting for fil to phone re Becky. So hoping everything is ok with her. Dh and I are missing her terribly.

[octoandflash]

Ellie - are you working? Have lost track of whether you styaed and sorted childcare costs or left???

I have had lovely bath, fake tan ((streaky bacon legs effect ))) and hot choc - off to bed soon.

Ernie had banana for tea - yummy

[CaptainDippy]

Never had a prob with smelly deliver men here either.

Bouncer is fab!

[EllieK]

I am working, my lovely new boss organised an advance before I was even an employee

[EllieK]

you mean you hadn't noticed I wasn't here as much

[octoandflash]

I have a chicco bouncy chair that is fully adjustable so can be flat or sitting up or in between. Thats why not sure whether need a bumbo. There is one on ebay two villages away from me which am watching ...

[octoandflash]

Ellie - just thought you were being reserved or out with that lovely man you linked to the other night

[EllieK]

yeah right!
no, i spend my mornings working, my afternoons clearing up poo as matthew has started going in his pants, and my evenings pumping so i can spend my mornings working

[octoandflash]

LOL esp the poo bit! Do you think that is because you've gone back to work? Nt trying to make you feel guilty btw. DS2 started wetting the bed again when was pg with Flash - still wearin gpull ups - not sure how to get him dry again - he doesn't seem to care - bribery not working

Off to bed

night night xxx

[EllieK]

I think it probably is Octo, I know he's enjoying nursery but I think this is his way of protesting

[CaptainDippy]

Poor you Ellie hon. xx

Off to bed now - knackerooneied!!

Night.

[leakyR]

Evening all

Haven't a hope of catching up with thread since Sunday so I will just say that I hope you're all well. Although I'm trying to cut down on internet time I missed you all.

Visit home was tiring (George still teething and being a night-time milk monster) and emotional (my gran is so poorly and frail and my dad's sibs are falling out with each other all over the place). My brother is moving to Australia in 6-8 weeks for work. My aunt (more like a sis only 3yrs older) got married last Saturday at Gretna Green. Told family day after! She's very happy which is fab. So that's my news.

DH has come home from Edinburgh, woke the baby had a shower and gone to bed in a huff. There's still loads to do to get the house straight for his parents visiting tomorrow. He left it in a mess on Monday morning before he went away;dishes unwashed, clothes dumped on floor from airer, bed not made. I am so cross with him! He says "We've got enough on our plates without trying to make the house perfect for visitors". Who cares about perfect I just don't want his mum to think we're (by "we" I mean me) dirty buggers. If she starts cleaning when they get here I'll feel like I've failed!

Anyway rant over now.

Better go finish cleaning bathroom. Grrrrr.

[Katy44]

Morning everyone

[CaptainDippy]

Hi Leaky - Good to "see" you - sounds a very emotional time at home, a lot for you to take on board - {{{{hugs}}}} Hoep you get the house cleaned ok - really crap when men do that, isn't it!!? I am still training my DH, it is going to be a long old haul .... He is getting better though .....

Morning katy!

Phoebe went down just before 7pm last night and IS STILL SLEEPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Katy44]

Hi Dippy
wow at Sleeping Beauty!
leaky, when do your DH's parents arrive?

[maveta]

morning!

[Katy44]

hi maveta

[CaptainDippy]

Morning - nipping upstairs quickly to put clothes away and come on here .... older 2 are playing shops (and antagonising each other, no doubt...) and P is kicking on her playmat.

She woke up at 8am in the end!!!!!

Shame she's not my 1st!

[octoandflash]

 ~~~~DRUM ROLL~~~~~~ <br />
 <br />
 Ernie slept from 6pm to 7am <br />
 <br />
 (the last time someone told me their baby slept through on here I cried in desperation!) <br />
 <br />
 Look like we're going for Groundhog day here - do everything the same .... - so thats poridge, carrot and banana everyday for the next 20 years!!! <br />
 <br />
 Off out for the day <br />
 <br />
 Catch up later xxx

CD - dd didn't wake up until 8.40!!! !! Pity I'd been up with ds for nearly 2 hours by then.

Bouncy chairs - I think baby bjorn do one that lasts beyond 6 months.

MIL kindly gave us some cash last time she came (kind of makes up for the Housecoat ) so we splashed out on one of these and ds LOVES it!!

Oooggs, hope you had a nice meal out and a better night last night.
