So sorry to all of those with poorly dcs at the moment. Hope they all make a swift recovery!!
Bertie's cold is getting better - albeit slowly - isn't breastmilk meant to be full of magic faerie "get well soon" dust or something? Well it doesn't seem to be working particularly quickly! Kept me up last night for a few hours.
Sponge the snuffle babe is like vicks but for babies, you can get it in Boots, I think you can even get it in the Asda.
Foxy - Fixy! - I would love your clothes. I am size sixteen and have never owned anything from Boden or for that matter Monsoon and would love to. Except I don't live anywhere near you. Oh well!
Bethoo you don't sound dull at all. I've done my clubbing days and all that... and now it's time to join a different kind of club. The one where, if you get ten minutes to yourself upstairs to put the washing away, it counts as "me time".
Rosy... yes, a fishing net... or why not try this? Have him off sick from work for a few weeks at home getting under your feet, and see if you still feel the same afterwards.
So fed up with mil at the moment, she is doing my swede. Keeps imperculiating the standards of housework here. And then when I went to shitegarden's wedding she rang me at about half past five, just when I'd got back, on my mobile phone to say, "just wanted to check you were okay," which sounds nice until she then said, "because I imagined you getting lost or having a problem with a train and phoning me for a lift home from Preston or some other such place". I have never asked her for a lift anywhere, ever. I have been using public transport on my own for about twenty years ffs.
And if I really was totally up shit creek, I have about three friends who have cars who I would phone and ask nicely for a lift before I even thought about asking mil.
Anyway. Shitegarden's wedding was absolutely lovely. Her and her dp - now dh of course - looked absolutely gorgeous, shitegarden had the most beautiful dress and her dh had a shirt to match, both in purple / blue crushed velvet. And the dcs all looked lovely, they're all adorable actually. And despite what she says about "asbo boy" and all that they were incredibly well behaved.
Her dd1 is very maternal, she seems much older than she actually is. She at various points took Bertie off to the dance floor for a bit of a boogie and I forgot he was in the hands of a child... lovely, all of them.
But my camera batteries ran out. So I'm hoping shitegarden has some photos of the day to post here as I only have one that's actually turned out .
Journey was a bit of a bugger but Bertie was fine with it, he's used to silly journeys on public transport by now!!
