Oh FFS my DD has started to be really clingy with me.....can't see me....anyone else cuddles her and she screams blue murder...I'm supposed to be going to France in 2 weeks for the day and my mum is looking after her....what do I do? Is this normal?

I'm very glad she loves her mummy BTW but......

She's going to nursery as well in December...

don't worry charlie once she can't see you she will be fine, they often cry for a little bit but soon settle

DH went out to talk buffets two hours ago!

the good news is the meeting with DS1s teacher went well, they are going to crack down on the bullying and are getting him tested for dyslexia.

riabutterflew · 01/10/2007 18:19

he actually came back as I posted. he is going to do an ice carving for the buffet.

He is now building a "bouncing bomb" in the garage

Cunty fucking shitey fucking cunty shite.

My breast pump has leaked all over the fridge, so not only have I had to clean the fridge, I've lost a load of breast milk.

I'm am reacting far more violently to this than the situation require. I don't know why. But I took it out on the fridge good and proper. My foot now also hurts

riabutterflew · 01/10/2007 19:23

bumper.

you forgot ARSE

bumperlicious · 01/10/2007 19:41

AAARRRRRRRSSSSSSEEEEEEEE.

Thanks Ria!

bumperlicious · 01/10/2007 20:08

Farking reusable nappies. never had one not leak or be absolutely sodden. What is the trick? DH is losing patience with them.

daisyandbabybootoo · 01/10/2007 20:23

good evening peeps.

bumper, sorry you're not having much luck with the ebm at the moment

What nappies are you using? Not all nappies suit all babies. I don't have a lot of luck with pocket nappies, but love bamboo or cotton terries of any decription.

Depending on the material they may need changing every 1.5-2 hours as well....they definately don't last as long as a disposable.

riabutterflew · 01/10/2007 20:34

did you have a good day daisy?

faylisa · 01/10/2007 20:35

Hi all

Bumper, sorry I can't help with nappies but can add a BOLLOCKS to your tirade

faylisa · 01/10/2007 20:36

I once sat on the kitchen floor and sobbed when I realised half my carefully expressed bags of frozen ebm had leaked due to faulty storage bags

bumperlicious · 01/10/2007 20:40

it's gutting isn't it faylisa? You work so hard to get that little bit of liquid off, and it's your only chance for a break!

daisy, I probably left it on too long then, i thing the wrap was a bit small for the nappy too. The only time I didn't have a problem was with a motherease and the rikki wrap, but I only have one of those.

trendaverter · 01/10/2007 20:46

evening all
sorry to hear your woes Bumper, you really are having a shite time of it right now hey?

I am knackered. counting down the days til my cleaner starts.

bumperlicious · 01/10/2007 20:49

Not really TA, I'm just a a miserable wench who doesn't deal well with stress! Thanks for the sympathy though. DH bought me some ben and jerry's to cheer me up. It will have to wait though as I can't taste anything!

at your cleaner! but not of you having to work such long hours!

bumperlicious · 01/10/2007 20:49

I'm going to make a cup of tea then go to bed earl, night all x

trendaverter · 01/10/2007 20:57

I'm off to bed too. Hope things look up for you tomorrow.

I think I have a problem, I cleaned the house before the cleaner comes.

Also I just bought an industrial size bag of citric acid on ebay. I just love the stuff.

riabutterflew · 01/10/2007 20:57

am i the only one who would like to throw cold pizza crusts at nigella?

trendaverter · 01/10/2007 20:59

No!!
I am watching her calling her a cocksucker.
Has she had botox or something? she looks funny these days. And what is WITH that constant fake smile?

sputnik · 01/10/2007 20:59

Lucky Earl! don't worry, we won't tell your DH

daisyandbabybootoo · 01/10/2007 21:00

My day has been fine, a nice lazy morning, then we dropped DD off at the GPs and disappeared off for a few hours for lunch. It was lovely and I was reasonably OK with my choices, prawn salad followed by chargrilled tuna steak. It was delicious, and so nice to eat in a relaxed and leisurely fashion for a change

I had expressed about 14 ozs (not all in one go I hasten to add) and took two bottles, as whenever I leave her with DH she polishes off the bottle of ebm and then DH needs to give her formula. When we got back she had taken 3 measly ozs then refused any more. She was asleep, as gran had taken her out in the pram, but when she woke up she was beside herself and then wouldn't latch on at all. Or if she latched on she was getting really cross. Then SIL turned up with their DCs and DH collected DS from school so there was so much going on and she wouldn't feed again.

When we got home she fed for two hours without a break

She may be up through the night, but I still have the ebm in the bottle so DH is primed for dealing with that as I don't want to waste it!

Bumper, I struggle to get any from my right boob, but it really gushes out of the left (which is probably explaining why she struggels on the left if the let down is so fast). It is frustrating if you lose some or have to throw it away.

riabutterflew · 01/10/2007 21:01

she has corpse blusher and i bet that tin used to contain someones ashes.

thank goodness for doc martin.

daisyandbabybootoo · 01/10/2007 21:02

Hi TA....bye TA

Hi Ria....ice sculpture? what size is your freezer?

riabutterflew · 01/10/2007 21:04

ahh, WHERE he is doing said ice sculpture is open for debate...

trendaverter · 01/10/2007 21:04

I am here for 5 minutes more

DH is reading over my shoulder with a glass of wine. Alright for some. I also noticed he helped himself to pecan pie without offering me any.

I love how I can be a nagging wife using MN as a medium.
