Morning all

I too am busy washing/laundry, but alas, am not going away
We are, however, hoping to go to Bristol Zoo sometime over the weekend depending on the weather.

Have fun everyone, whatever you're doing!

Hi loves

Norma, have a lovely time in the Lakes.

Runny, have a fab time at the zoo. My bil took us there and it was fab.

Ange, enjoy the time with your grandma.

Luce, hope T's toes are ok.

Forgotten everything else..

Why is it that as soon as I start to cook/eat lunch, K wakes up??? Even if she is flippin' well upstairs????

tcmummy · 23/08/2007 13:00

xx

tcmummy · 23/08/2007 13:01

oh and t managed to balance sitting up by himself for a min or two this morning! cute!

Katy44 · 23/08/2007 13:27

Wow! It always seems like T can do that, but when we let go his back muscles just aren't strong enough - he gets so frustrated!!
runny, hope you have a good time at the zoo. We're not doing anything special this weekend, just looking forward to DH being off. Might go into town on Sunday, it's lovely and is normally quite quiet - visit a cafe, look through a few bookshops etc.

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 13:38

Yey for T, Yey for job and Yey for haircut, Eca!!

Totally forgotten everything, but HELLO!!! Just popping on before I start the Dysoning and before P wakes up ... ... She had her last lot of jabs today, bless her - Glad that is over til next April!!

Babysitting for friends tonight as it is their 4th Wedding Anniversary; then they are babysitting for us tomorrow night as it is our 5th Wedding Anniversary .... Copy cats!!

Been working this AM, P woke up at 4am and did a MASSIVE poo - yuk yuk yuk - 1st time she's EVER pooed at night. Am shattered now as she then woke up at 5am and 6am and finally 7.15am when K & S decided it was getting up time .... Yawn!!

LOL @ "7 chins" bumble!! That's my gal!

HV coming this afternoon, going to weigh P - reckon she's about 17lb .... Heifer!!

Katy44 · 23/08/2007 13:40

You must be exhausted CD how do you have the energy?
eca - forgot to say well done on job, mainly as I must have missed that post
Will go and find it now

Katy44 · 23/08/2007 13:41

Well it's only been mentioned (by lots of people) about 20 times, must have job blindness
PLease tell me again, what is it and when do you start?

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 13:49

I've no idea where the energy comes from ..... Sheer bloody willpower, I'd say .... Also my girls are worth it, they keep me going .....

Katy44 · 23/08/2007 14:19

That's lovely - when I'm wondering whether I could cope with a 2nd it makes me think I could
maybe

elkiedee · 23/08/2007 14:39

Hi all,

Katy, truly gorgeous photo.

I noticed Practical Parenting has a baby modelling competition, you can enter online before 31 August, maybe we should all give it a go . Of course I think my own baby's the most gorgeous creature ever born, but I don't manage to capture his cutest moments on camera, too busy gazing at him.

CD, sorry to hear you had a bad night, hope you get some chance to catch up on sleep. I know, it doesn't happen does it?

We're not going away anywhere this weekend, but we are going out for a meal on Saturday with friends and with Danny in tow. S is younger than dp but already has a grown up daughter, and was reminiscing about what it was like on the phone the other night.

And my friend with teenage sons a few streets away has invited us round for tea tonight, I'm really looking forward to it.

Hope everyone who is going away and those staying at home have a lovely bank holiday weekend.

Aaaaahhhh, D is lying on my lap and tugging my right arm as I type.

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 14:59

Enjoy T for now katy .... enjoy all those precious moments, but would definitely recommend another! LOVE the pic btw, he is soooo yummy!

Have fun at your friends for tea, Elkie, don't let the teenagers scare you too much!!

Sigh, P won't settle today ... driving me a bit nuts ....

Katy44 · 23/08/2007 15:04

Thanks you two
elkie I know what you mean about not catching the best moments on camera
Enjoy your meal out
CD, hope P settles soon

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 15:14

Me too, just changed a poo, gave her boobie, which she didn't really want - put her in her cot with her fave mobile, though she had settled ..... screaming again.

Katy44 · 23/08/2007 15:31

teething? overtired?
sorry to not be much help, you have much more experience of this mummy thing

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 16:00

Think you got it on the 2nd guess ..... OVERTIRED .... Bingo ..... HV just been, P is 14lb, little porker! Have now boobied her again and popped her back in the crib - hoping she'll go off this time ..... Planning to finish the Dysoning and have a wee kip myself if she does!!

Sexonlegs · 23/08/2007 16:04

Hi ladies

CD, hope P is ok. It is so tiring isn't it when they are playing up.

Katy, the pic of T is truly lovely. He really does look so grown up bless him.

Hi Elkie.

Well, put K on her playmat whilst I had a rare cuppa, went upstairs to put yet more washing out, and have come down to find her fast asleep on it!! Fabulous! I might have another cuppa - live life on the edge me!!!

Hope you are all well. xx

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 16:06

Ooooh, you are crazy, SOL!! Hoping P will go off to sleep soon, she is whinging away in her cot!! Sigh. If K could send P some > that would be fab!

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 16:07

Ooooooh, all quiet in the nursery. I'll just go & check ......

Katy44 · 23/08/2007 16:13

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 16:13

Katy44 · 23/08/2007 16:19

Have a coffee or cup of tea, definitely

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 16:30

Katy44 · 23/08/2007 16:33
