Hey, Piff, don't worry, get swinging them bells to the workout dvd and you'll soon be back on the booze!
OMG your feedback!! I'm only 160 something, I bow to you

Foxy what feedback are you on then?

LunarScream · 29/10/2007 22:42

And I thought my 690 feedback was evidence of addiction....

Talking of Ebay - Piffle, are you interested in some of those peek-a-blocks before I get round to listing them?

Had to go to a business meeting away from home today which meant leaving at 7am and not getting back until 9 tonight. I've never been so glad that Toby was hungry when I got back - was seriously getting into ouch territory having not fed for 15 hours!

Had a funny moment yesterday when I was getting his tea ready and he crawled into the kitchen. I said "Food, Toby" to him - and he turned round, headed to the dining room, and started pulling himself up on the high chair as if he was trying to climb in. So he's obviously learnt wht "food" means Something of a pattern developing here - ds1's 1st word was "hungry" (or more like "nnn-gree")!

Argh my dodgy wrist is flaring up again. No idea why.

Well last night we took the first tentative steps to moving Bertie into a cot. Dh took the side off our current cot and fastened it to our bed.

Bertie started off the night in there. At four o'clock I woke up in the cot, Bertie was in the bed and dh was trying to sneak out but I collared him and said "wtf are you doing?"

He said, "you and Bertie are so bloody noisy, he with all that constant sucking and you - you SNORE!"

I can't afford to go on ebay atm. Jealous of you two Kitty & Foxy I am so so so skint it's ridiculous. I officially handed in my notice yesterday, or at least, posted the letter. So as of today I am job seeking. Something local, flexi-time would be ideal, I do not want to go back into recruitment but would consider sales...

Grief Lunar, having to work 15 hours while bfing, or rather not bfing, your norks must've been like rocks! Poor you!

Toby is rather clever isn't he?

Piffle I had my first bit of booze last night after the bug... I felt so pissed! Ridiculous! You might be right actually, I wonder if that's why I'm not losing the weight [lightbulb goes on inside head] I might cut out the beer and only have wine from now on.

Does pear cider have any calories though? It's fruit, isn't it?

I've typed rather a lot and funnily enough my wrist feels a bit better! More MN I think is the cure!!!

Lunar btw are you on FB?

Mossy PMSL at you curled up in the cot snoring

Lunar - well done - I would have blocked ducts heading towards mastitis after about 5/6 hours!!! I take my trusty pump everywhere ( no choice - very prone to mastitis)

Kitty - I am on 28 feedbacks - however, I am a KILLER SNIPER!!!

bethoo · 30/10/2007 10:29

Lunar - your little one is impressive! heading to his chair. my little one can crawl now which is a nightmare as had to move my bed so it is against the wall but now he crawls to the end of the bed and peers over, this mornign he was leaning over and had switched on his car (one of those rockers that turns to a little push car type thing) and was beeping the horn! when i am brushing my teeth he can see me in the bathroomand tries to crawl to me which is a nightmare as he is on the bed!

he loves my dogs as when they are in the rom he tries to get to them, has a thing about poking their feet!!! and grabbing their wrinkly faces, at least it is better than trying to get the cats ear in his gob!

Piffle · 30/10/2007 10:39

Oh Mossy a fellow beer hound I'm a former beer hound now
Well Finn
AAAARRRRGHHH

Up from 4am today! WTF? Grumpy as the grumpiest grumpy thing in Grumpsville...
Has been sneezing loads and sleeping ZILCHO since 4am

Am shattered beyond words, and total shock as although we have ahd some 6am starts generally he been pretty good from the off...

Finn also comes toddling in his walker when you mentions dinner
he also gallops when he hears the in the nighth garden music....

Best of all he likes to chase the hoover (we hover a balloon above it to try to divert him as he really gets in the way...see here and his big sister

DeathBySnooSnoo · 30/10/2007 21:24

hello,i have changed my name again as i wasnt comfortable having a swear word in it and i want to start looking on the bright side(hahahahaha)of life.oh,its diva btw

i have been seriously considering moving to the hospital permanently for the last few days.i was there friday morning for my 'please cut my tubes!!' appointment,which didnt go according to plan as the consultant said she wont touch that area of my body with a bargepole due to the huge appendictomy scar i have,complete with adhesions.she said she wasnt prepared to put my life at risk

then i was back there with Elsie in the evening.i had to drag all the kids there saturday afternoon as dh lost the plot due to no sleep/being worried sick.

i was very relieved when she was allowed home sunday morning.erm...back in a mo

DeathBySnooSnoo · 30/10/2007 21:34

where was i?oh yes,and i had to take ds2 to the hospital for a check up yesterday.

Today dd2 has been throwing up all over the place-she couldnt even keep fluids down.i took her to the doctors and he said she is fine,just a tummy bug.she seemed a bit better before she went to bed thankfully.

i have read everyones' posts.seems the bugs are rife.its so bloody stressful when they are ill,especially when you are ill yourself but just have to get on with it due to being female(oops,do i sound slightly annoyed and bitter?sorry about that).

right,i am off to facebook to look at the meet-up pics(i didnt notice them yesterday when i posted a couple of wedding pics on the march07 group)

love to all xxx

Piffle · 31/10/2007 10:29

today is better - although never thought I would see the day when I thought 5.45am was a sleep in
But Finn was suepr, jigged his "routine" around bit, had nap at 5-6pm. BF dinner at 7 (has finally refused any spoon food and p[romptly dumped and smeared it in all over himself- he is BLW but liked mush for dinner usually due to tiredness methinks)

So impromtu bath needed BUT as dd in bed had to bath him in the kitchen sink which he loved, he did get the pot of basil in with him and snacked on the leaves, so he smelt very organic post bath...heaven forbid the nappy...
But anyway another bf at 8pm and he was away, topped up at 10.30 and that was him til 7am!
Thrilled
did anyone see my link below to Finn and the hoover and the balloon?

Piffle · 31/10/2007 10:29

oh diva, that tummy bug is grim... so glad we've said goodbye to it, although dd is coughing and a bit snotty again today... but ok in herself and is at school

bethoo · 31/10/2007 10:33

Piffle- you lucky thing! Hayden is wide awake at 5.30 (since clock changed!) and so therefore i have to be too! this morning he was at the bottom of the bed peering at the dogs! find it hard to sleep with him on my boob now as they are shrinking and i have to lie differently now which is uncomfortable! has anyones elses boobies got smaller or should i say less firm!
