Ellie, glad the day went well.

Nutty, great news about the Karen Millen dress.

I got my restful morning and feel much better for it, walked to Finsbury Park in the afternoon. My mum is dropping by tomorrow afternoon, maybe my sister too. dp's mum is getting out of hospital tomorrow and he'll see her on Tuesday, and it's just over 2 weeks to our holiday, so I'm getting excited, just bought the Rough Guide to Alaska.

Time to eat now.

Morning!

This has to be a first for me - I'm the first one on here

StealthPolarBear · 10/09/2007 08:08

Morning everyone
mammyjo, sorry you're feeling down about going back to work - hopefully you'll find it's one of those things that, once you've done it, isn't as bad as you think iyswim?
runny glad you've had a good weekend at you being able to do no wrong!
Eddas, have a good holiday
Ellie, glad the christening went well but at Joe sleeping through his party!
nutty that dress is lovely! Like the pictures of erin too, especially the one where she's trying to show off her nappy! It was DH's cousin's 30th yesterday so i popped in for a couple of hours before picking DH up from airport. She had a huge bouncy castle!
elkie, you're going to Alaska?!!
Morning weeonion, SOL and Dippy, how are you all today?
Another one, sure she's just around but busy - GMM where are youuuuuuuuuu?!

Morning!

Am back from a lovely week away, we had some nice sunny weather and spent loads of time on the beach - quite unexpected considering the summer we've had.

Haven't been able to catch up on all the threads I've missed - hope everyone is OK and the baptism went well, Ellie. Any news from Maveta about her dad?

Not much to report here but my big news is that J is now going to bed at a reasonable hour in his cot in his own room and only feeding once overnight. I am so happy ! Much as I loved co-sleeping and it served a purpose it is nice to now have a good night-time routine.

Oh, and it's quite nice to have DH back in bed with me too !

StealthPolarBear · 10/09/2007 08:09

runny I think I would have been if it hadn't taken me 20 minutes to compose that post

StealthPolarBear · 10/09/2007 08:12

Hi liath
Good news about the bed routine
think this was maveta's most recent post

liath · 10/09/2007 08:16

Cheers!

runnyhabbit · 10/09/2007 08:16

lol at SPB

Don't know whats happening to W atm. He seems to be feeding more through the night, and not so much during the day. Any suggestions to get him to feed more during the day? so I can get some sleep at night?

nappynuttynormabutty · 10/09/2007 09:43

Morning

Erin has a cough and it's keeping us up at night (she sleeps through it ) but we also heard her do a 'poo' and thought we'd best change her...got all the stuff, opened nappy and there was no poo . Luckily she went right back to sleep! Anyway she's being quite clingy this morning, I think because of her cough, but it's bloody annoying cos I have LOADS to do.

Sexonlegs · 10/09/2007 10:00

Morning all.

Well, dropped B at big school and it went really well. I do feel a bit bad though, as I said I had to go and change K's nappy but would be back later. Gave her a kiss and went. I just couldn't face a scene of her sobbing if I said we were going to leave. I feel so awful now though.

Nutty, hope Erin is ok. I hate it when they have a cough, as ikwym about them sleeping through whilst you are wide awake!! Tixylix night cough medicine is good, but not sure frm what age they can have it.

Better head, K woken up and needs a change. She filled her nappy whilst dropping B off, and then fell asleep in her car seat.

CaptainDippy · 10/09/2007 10:13

Morning! All quiet here ...... Aaaaaaah .......

Gotta 'phone a few people this morning - want to get builders in to drill up the massive expanse of concrete in our back garden and want to get someone in to completely re-do the lawn ...... Hope it happens soon cos our garden is depressing me - It is mank to the max!!!!!

Poor Erin with her cough, NNNB - hope she gets over it soon - P has a yukky cold atm and is all snotty and gross, poor Bean.

Glad you had such a lovely time away Liath - and yey to your LO's new sleeping pattern - LOL @ having DH back in bed as an afterthought!

Peace and quiet this morning and then absolute mayhem this PM ..... DD1 havign a couple of friends over to play and stay for tea - must be mad!!

SOL - You are v.brave ...... B will be fine, sounds to me like she more than ready to go to school!

Sexonlegs · 10/09/2007 10:48

Hiya CD, yes, you are mad! Not really!! Hope the afternoon goes well.

Liath, so pleased you had a good holiday and that ds is sleeping well for you.

K is chatting to B's Baby Annabelle - v funny! It is one of those that chats and cries and she is loving it!! She is holding her hand!! Bless her.

StealthPolarBear · 10/09/2007 11:08

Wow everyone is back today!
lol at disappearing poo nutty, we have those

CaptainDippy · 10/09/2007 11:20

Awwwww, bless her, SOL - P is very, very chatty and smiley - we thought she was going to be a very solemn little thing like DD1; but she has really come out of herself in past couple of weeks - She has got such a dirty little laugh!! She is very vocal - always shrieking and wailing at things ....... Well she has got two very noisey older sisters to contend with!!

HI SPB!

nappynuttynormabutty · 10/09/2007 11:30

Right have organised dh to get some Tixylix (boots website said suitable from 3 months) - Thanks SOL for the tip

Going to try and get my handwashing done not sure Erin's going to let me!!!

StealthPolarBear · 10/09/2007 11:31

Hi Dippy
Lol at dirty laugh
T has a cute laugh - he tips his head back, wiggles his arms and legs and makes 'ha ha ha' noises

mammyjo · 10/09/2007 11:50

Morning all. Feeling a little brighter here this morning. Am sure that I will be fine once I go back - will feel like I have never been away I expect! Will be glad when Friday has come and gone though

SOL, glad B went into school ok. Dont feel bad about not going back. You WILL be going back later so you didnt actually fib to her!

Nutty, poor Erin with her cough. F had one last week but thankfully it seems to be getting better now.

Must go and get some stuff done while ds is in school. See you all later xxx

elkiedee · 10/09/2007 11:51

Morning all, am awaiting a visit from my mum, might be in about 15 minutes.

Hope this afternoon is fun, Dippy.

elkiedee · 10/09/2007 11:53

SOL, hope B's first day at big school goes ok - is she there all day or just part?
