Thought as I'm bored and we're on page 40 of thread 2, I'd make a thread 3!

@MrsEG, aaahh your Halloween plans and costumes sound awesome 😀 I hope they get to go ahead as planned...

I have no idea what will happen in terms of a lockdown?? I think maybe they'll start with closing non essentials again first? My friend was saying she'd rather have a lockdown now or soon and then maybe be able to have things ease up for Christmas. To be honest I think over Christmas, people will do whatever anyway!

I'm so glad you're back on track with the weaning. You're doing amazingly well xx

Well! Saturday night we started in his room and made it until 11pm. Last night we started in his room and made it until 2am. Slow progress, but still progress! He's got 3 teeth now and I think a 4th on its way. Isolation is getting a bit grinding, but we're getting through the house jobs, having time in the garden and eating like little piggies to make it more bearable! Joe is constantly shuffling/scooching around and has been up on his hands and feet this morning 😂

Hope every one is doing OK? We'll need a new thread soon 😛

Sorry if I've forgotten anyone! Xx

@Fivebyfive2 Ah look at him in his Christmas PJs! How long did Joes conjunctivitis last? Yep we have eye drops - my god they’re a nightmare to get in. It genuinely is a two person job!! When DH is here I just have to make do keeping his eyes clean, the times I’ve tried I’ve gotten the drops up his nose, in his hair, anywhere that isn’t his eyes!!! He’s doing better, still very sticky but he’s much better in himself. Conor has it now too much seems much less affected thank god.
The determination to walk is just frightening isn’t it! Like everything just stick with it, Conor is very confident now so I just leave him to it! But we still get some spectacular falls from Ruairí!!
Having a childcare bubble will help so much. Helpers!! At last!

@MrsEG Sorry to hear that Ruairí has been so poorly, that must have been such a worry for you 😢 That photo in front of the tree is hilarious, definitely one to keep and show them in years to come ☺️

@Fivebyfive2 Glad you've had a better time of it after a wobble with DH. So pleased that Joe is sleeping better.

Just a thought but would anyone be interested in a WhatsApp group? I find it so hard to keep up on here 🤯

Just popping on quickly as almost bath time!

@MrsEG @Fivebyfive2 thanks both so much for your calm replies, it's nice to actually be able to have differing views without jumping down one another's throats. I made the mistake of getting involved in another thread (literally saying the same things I said to you guys) and as a result got SUSPENDED from mumsnet.

@TrashKitten10 I'd be up for a whatsapp group - I'm rapidly going off of most places on mumsnet Grin

@TrashKitten10 yes absolutely! Just let me know who needs my number.
I also have a few of you on Instagram so if anyone else wants to mutual follow I’m emmamaygallagher :)

@purplefig suspended?! Christ!

TrashKitten10 · 06/12/2020 20:40

@purplefig Blimey, what was the reasoning for being suspended?! Surely you can't get suspended for just having an inoffensive different opinion 

Great news people are keen for a WhatsApp group. @MrsEG @Lemonysherbet @LikeTheFruit @Fivebyfive2 @purplefig and anybody else, if you're happy to private message me your numbers I'll set it up? And any suggestions for a group name? Grin

So ladies, I know we're in the throes of setting up a WhatsApp group, but I thought I'd throw in the fact that it's Ethan's first birthday today! And chuck a link in to my Insta too 😂 for anyone who's yet to have a first birthday with their little one, the balloon arch took forever but is amazing!!

@mrsr16 happy birthday to Ethan, I cant believe he's a year old, where did that time go? It feels like just yesterday we were all on the conception boards

@trashkitten10 I'll pm you now. It's got to be some sort of play on Mumsnet surely... I'm just not witty enough to suggest what!

@MrsR16 Happy Birthday Ethan! 🥳

The WhatsApp group is live, albeit with a terribly boring name. Anybody else wanting to join just PM me your number.

@MrsEG @TrashKitten10 yep! They told me they had concerns I was not posting 'with the best of intentions'. I said I was not sorry for airing my views and that I find the censorship around this topic alarming, also that it it's up to them if they wanted to suspend me, but could they please let me know what I had said that warranted my suspensions Again, they just mentioned they had concerns I was 'supporting certain agendas'. You have to laugh really. They clearly decided I was a 'nut job anti vaxxer' without actually reading my posts re: the fact I have had them all.

@TrashKitten10 Ooo excellent, I'll PM you my number. OMG guys this means I can reveal M's name to you!!! Grin. Although I kind of like you all thinking of her as a mini Judi Dench.

Hey I'd love to join the WhatsApp group but I'm on my phone and don't know how to send my number in a private message? Am I being stupid (it's likely!)

TrashKitten10 · 07/12/2020 19:32

@thumper59 Are you on the app? I don't know how to message on the app so I just use the website version. I'll send you a message so you can hopefully find your inbox.
