[upsyderlor]

hello, we're over here

Bumper, I work for the Health Protection Agency, so semi-government type thing.

That woman did well not to be thumped, I reckon. Glad you had a better day after that though. We went to "stay & chat" this afternoon. Wasn't sure I could be arsed, but glad I did as met a nice woman who lives in the next street, and may have persuaded a couple of the mums to come to the library for Rhyme Time tomorrow morning.

hope you're right aboutthe 15-19 weeksthing Bumper, been trying for 1/2an hour to get Baby Sputnik to sleep, clearly tired butno go. he is up again watching Asterix with his big sis

Hi Bumper

Glad your day ended well!
I put Ed in his own room at 5.5 weeks - but I used (and still do) a cctv monitor and an angel mat. Being able to watch him on the tv confirmed that it was us that had the biggest worry about his new environment - not him! He was smiling away there in the dark happy as larry!
I love the cctv monitor and would recommend it to anyone.
Oh and yes we both started to sleep better - he started to sleep from midnight to 7pm very shortly after that!

what's an angel mat?

midnight to 7pm ! That is a lot of sleep

Oh bugger - I meant 7am!
Although last night he went 18.45 to 08.15 - which was amazing! He was flat out!!!
this is an angel mat.

Hi all and welcome back DKMA!
It really is me! Ellie's gone "home" now , I wont see her till the weekend after next. (Didnt think for a minute when she was 15 weeks old that she wouldnt end up living with me
Thanks for your messages to her, I think it made her day!!

Thank you DKMA, I never knew those things existed. Amazing what you can get these days. Good grief, that's what my Dad says, am I turning into an old man?

the wonder week book is really good but out of print. i borrowed it from bfing group but never got a chance to read it. but i have a photocopy of the stormy/sunny week schedule that i will get dh to scan and i will email anyone who wants it. it's not as helpful as the book which tells you how to deal with the bad weeks, but it helps you project responsibility ("i'm not a bad mum - it's a wonder week")

ooh no need, check this out.

Oh JBM, it must be so sad not living with DD. Do you get on better for not living together?

Bumper, We dont have a relationship problem tbh, she just worships her Dad and probably now doesnt want to let him down.

Whats happened to MN??? the types all gone black and when i signed back in, although i clicked on my last post, it took me to last nights posts and said i was reading in "book style???" any 1 else have this?

oh its ok now - weird

I had that too jbm and it wouldn't flip the display and wouldn't let me add a message

I suspect a new look was being tried then taken off quickly because it didn't work

how funny theres tons of threads about Tech updating MN and it all freezing!!

Hi everyone, I'm a dirty lurker as usual.

Bumper, sorry to hear you are having a shite time. Don't have time now, but will drop you an email if I can help in any way.

Lemon cake made and smelling delish. Thanks FairyFay!

thanks foxy!

sorry jbm, didn't mean to assume that you had a bad relationship! just making assumptions based on my own experiences - sorry . I do feel for you, it's so hard when families are apart.

ooh of your lemon cake foxy!

oooh i'm off for a soak in a bath (with a glass of vino and my book)

wow derlor, how did you manage that luxury derlor? tie up the kids?

Well all the chores are done for the day, I can put my feet up at last

ooohh everything looks very odd

Off for my fajitas now...later x
