I'll pop a diddy in your pushchair box! Then you can see what they are like! Not fleece lined, sort of jersey t-shirt like material.

I have big diddy diapers, they are good

trendaverter · 17/09/2007 19:22

yes what she said

trendaverter · 17/09/2007 20:09

did I kill it?

BadZelda · 17/09/2007 20:22

Hmmm I wonder if we've bought stuff off the same person TA? My wraps still haven't arrived. I wouldn't mind so much if I hadn't paid slightly more for '1-2 day delivery' - we're talking over 2 weeks now! They're not claiming stock problems - just that the delivery's gone missing - and allegedly they've posted them out again so I should have them by tomorrow or wed. Don't think I'll be buying from that person again to be honest.

Jamantha · 17/09/2007 20:26

Well the internet has been &%$#ed all afternoon, only just got reconnected Had a quick look and see I missed more nappy talk - yes I like diddy diapers too! Someone was talking about bank holidays - sadly we have to pay for bank holidays at our nursery. It was a call between working mondays and getting the BHs off work but paying the nursery for them, or not working Mondays and not paying, but missing those extra days off. Time off won (and it was more convenient otherwise)

LO has been a right grumbler all afternoon and was very difficult to get to sleep. Took both of us using all our best soothing moves Not got a good feeling for the coming night, and I've got an interview tomorrow morning (at least I should have but they cancelled it last time so who knows)

trendaverter · 17/09/2007 20:33

Hey BZ... no we didn't, I bought mine from a lady selling her old ones, not a shop... so I don't appear to have a leg to stand on

BadZelda · 17/09/2007 20:42

Well I just went out and bought more terries this afternoon...still only got one wrap though. TBH I can't handle all the endless waiting in for deliveries - would rather run down the street and buy stuff in a shop; but of course all these fancy nappies aren't available in Brixton. Got 2 WICKED results today. 1: Apple have replaced my laptop battery for FREE in less than a week - so I'm not chained to the power supply any morel; and 2: Got offered a job 12 days a month (4 of which will be at home) from Jan next year...this will suit me down to the ground!

TA sounds like you've been really suffering with the teething...at least reflux must be getting a bit better by now?

trendaverter · 17/09/2007 20:45

Job sounds great!
am

Reflux is actually much better! Gaviscon et al was a load of old rubbish, I just thicken the milk a little with 1/2 a scoop of carobel (which was also prescribed) and instead of projective painful vomits, he still voms all the time whereas he never used to, but they don't appear to be painful for him any more. Just very messy!

So yes he still does have it but it's manageable now, and as long as he's not in pain it's all good. It was horrible watching him cry every time he puked before.

trendaverter · 17/09/2007 20:47

I opened a paypal dispute against her - will see if that helps me either get the nappies or a refund. I am not bothered which!

it's weird, with the promotion of cloth nappies nowadays you think they'd be more available, but I went to a boots, blooming marvellous and a bumps and babes shop, did anyone sell nappy nippas? of course not

Jamantha · 17/09/2007 20:55

DD is screaming again DH is upstairs with her now. Something is obviously troubling her. If she doesn't settle are we OK to give her calpol, even though we don't really know what's wrong? I'm just thinking it's so unlike her to do this that maybe she's got some pain?

faylisa · 17/09/2007 21:00

Hi all
Jamantha - I'm a great fan of Calpol when either DD or DS is in pain, even if we're not sure exactly what's wrong - it seems to calm them down. I'd start with the lowest dose (2.5ml??) and see what happens.

daisyandbabybootoo · 17/09/2007 21:02

I bought a pack in Mothercare TA, and I think Toys R Us may do as well as they sell tots bots.

I'm starting to feel like I would rather have my boobs lobbed off than put up with this pain anymore. Tis shite.

DH and I had a mahoosive row before he left for work . He's been doing that thing where he pretends he's all supportive but not really when it comes to the crunch. He was asking whether I wanted him to work from home again tomorrow, but at the same time edging out the bloody door....needless to say I'm not at my cheeriest and it just escalated. I told him I don't know why he bothers coming home as all he does is wreck what routine I'm in by the weekend and sits in the garden smoking. He also wants DCs and me to go to him this weekend as his housemate is away, but I was supposed to be getting my night out away from the DCs. He has already mentioned it to DS though so....I ended the argument by shouting at him to piss off back to Kirton and we didn't even say cheerio.

Can I just rewind to last Wednesday and start again please?

daisyandbabybootoo · 17/09/2007 21:06

Cross post Jamamntha....sorry for your DD. AS Faylisa said, 2.5ml of Calpol wont do her any harm, and it may be just what she needs. Could she be teething as well.....they're all getting to that age now. Have you got any teething powders? they always calm DD...whether it's her teeth or not; I think maybe the graininess gives her something else to think about .

BadZelda · 17/09/2007 21:10

Can't believe they're teething already. LO is dribbling, a bit, but doesn't seem too bothered. DD1 got her first tooth at 4.5 months, so we shall have to see...

faylisa · 17/09/2007 21:11

Or do you think it could be trapped wind? Do you have any gripe water? Or try rubbing tummy gently or bicycling legs to see if that helps?

faylisa · 17/09/2007 21:12

Daisy - sorry the mastitis hasn't improved - it's hell.

daisyandbabybootoo · 17/09/2007 21:14

DDs first tooth erupted today BZ....only a tiny bit, but it's there.

trendaverter · 17/09/2007 21:16

Daisy really sorry to hear you are having such a rough time of it

I second (third?) the calpol comment - 2.5ml just helps take the edge off whatever pain it is that is upsetting him.

Jamantha · 17/09/2007 21:17

I had wondered about teething. DH has got her settled - for now at least. If she wakes again I think I'll give her some calpol. I'm exhausted and need some rest tonight so (almost) anything to help.

It's our turn for arguing her tonight. It's all going crap.

faylisa · 17/09/2007 21:18

We had a big barney this afternoon too

justbeme · 17/09/2007 21:37

Ive bought some Nappies!!
Not the second hand ones tho - she sold them to someone else,
I just bid on ebay (the ones Daisy mentioned) and got 10 nappies/5 wraps/10 fleece liners and 5 boosters for £22!! - plus postage - yayyyy!!

trendaverter · 17/09/2007 21:38

oh no JBM!
Another convert...it's like a cult

trendaverter · 17/09/2007 21:39

Just make sure they don't take £100 of your bloody money, say they posted it last week then mysteriously disappear off the face of the sodding planet

justbeme · 17/09/2007 21:42

Well she has got 100% feedback - it was some Little Lambs ones.

Didnt u say that yours were bought off MN?
If so there is a thread about feedback for sellers - has any one else complained?

Whats up Faylisa?
