Hey ladies..

Guess what I have....{{{{whispers}}}}...some re-useables!!!

GMM, you saucy thing you!!!

UW, I am so sorry about the children being rude about your ds. Children really are so cruel.

Unfortunately my bloody fil called someone fat when B was up there last time, and she was for quite a while saying people were fat, including me (8 stone weakling). Not sure if she knew what she was saying, but thankfully she hasn't said it for a while now.

Bramshott, lovely to see you.

IDOC and NL, really hope you can sell your houses and buy the houses of your dreams.

Runny, delighted to hear the news re W's poo. Poor little mite.

Hope everyone is ok and you have had good days.

Hi all - I am tiiiiired and so is little P who has been awake all afternoon while being looked after by my friend. Swimmming was good fun Need to go and make Sproglets dinner now ..... LOL @ SOL's "saucey things" comment - Go GMM!

Thankfully ds has had a better day in school today with no name calling. I just want to be there with him to sort the little shits out when they do it, feel powerless tbh. He is a chunky boy, but broad as opposed to actually fat iykwim. He is just thick set and there isnt much he can do about that. Oh well, hopefully things will improve for him [hopeful emoticon]

CD, glad swimming was good!

Runny, glad that W has relieved himself! Bless him, I remember ds being constipated when he was tiny. Was almost blue in the face with straining

mammyjo - poor E hope you get it sorted

hi bramshott >>

runnuy - congrats on the poo!!!!!!

Hi oooggs, good day?

alright I suppose - hv this morning and a grassroots assignment this afternoon

dh at college today so help with bath and bed but......... from sunday he is doing 14 nightshifts leaving house at 7pm and back at 8.30am great

how about you?????

Oooggs, that sounds awful. Can anyone help out during that time at all? I find it hard enough with just B and K.

Hi all

Oooggs, that sounds horrible for you re dh's 14 nightshifts - are they consecutive for two weeks solid or does he get nights off in between.

MJ, 4 year olds are already ganging up to bully your ds ? That's horrible.

Am venturing out to the NCT AGM this evening, curious to see what it's like.

oh UW I´m sorry I missed your post about your ds.. poor lad hopefully it´s passed now, he does seem awfully small to have to deal with that. My little sister was bullied at about that age by a slightly older boy but luckily I was (a whole 7 years older and in BIG SCHOOL ) able to walk with her to school and give the little shit guilty party the evil eye. Benefits of much older siblings who can step in where mums can´t always..

oooggs - will you be able to get anyone to come keep you company/ help you out on the odd night? I know it´s hard.. and with 3 - Are you actually wonderwoman?

GMM - yay!! what did ya get what did ya get?

And finally... my sister is pregnant!!! I´m so so so happy and I´m the only one she´s told so I can´t tell anyone so I´m shouting it from the rooftop in here..whoooopeeeeee!

Evening all - rather nice day here - baby and toddler group this am then lunch with a friend then off to school pausing to look at sylvanian families on the way (shush don't tell dd2). School photo day - B joined in and smiled - yeh! Then dd2's little friend home for tea. Lovely little girl and decent amount of tea eaten so good all round. B has been lovely too - totally different from yesterday's grumping. Not a bad night - but only because she was in with us from midnight
Now (cracks knuckles determindedly) to catch up with the rest of you :

SOL - I think your GP's suggestion not to go to be weighed so often is an excellent one. I have felt liberated by not having B weighed very much. Think we went in July - and September - might go next week.
Oooggs - love the Halloween pics - symapthy with the night shifts - him being asleep in the day is going to be a bit tricky with you all around the house isn't it? Is there anyone you can go and stay with for a few days to break it up a bit? Good to hear your hv came round and listened, sound s good. I found venting here yesterday pm very helpful
IDOC - ooh glad you've seen a good house - it's so stressful isn't it - positives vibes in the post
Dippy- glad swimming was good and P improved a bit. Lucky you with the grotty nappy to do
Runny - good poo news - thanks for sharing
uw - at the name calling - anything like that really rouses the protective mother tiger in us dosen't it
Elkie - enjoy your meeting - have you got your lentils ready to weave?
Auntie Maveta - great news.
Bramshott - I've done the b/milk in eye thing - it's fab isn't it?
Turkeyetc - poor Ernie
BWI - good to hear your GP talks sense too
Off to look at Zebra suits now

Did I miss anybody ?

ok, caught up earlier and forgot to post. I keep doing that!

SOL, glad your gp has some common sense!

BWI - hope Izzy's eyes are better soon

Oooggs - loved the t-shirts, you're very creative I wouldn't have known where to start! Hope you get plenty of support while dh is on nights.

Logistically dh on nights is a nightmare, our bed is still in the front room!!!!!! So when dts leave the nursery in the morning he is going to have to sleep in there. Bed hopping - well actually he can sleep on the futon

he is currently decorating like made to get out room sorted - bless him

No I am not superwoman just organised and a control freak I really struggle with being tired which is my downfall (oh but I have many faults, and I wouldn't know where to start in listing them!!)

I can be out and about a lot and if he doesn't hear them at night, why would he hear them during the day?????

maveta - great news xxxxxx

emmymummy - good news houses

nutty - my support is you lot

NL - staying with others would be a nightmare also, too much stuff with 3 of them (2 travel cots, 2 highchairs ect) but you have given me the idea of kicking dh out

Aargh!!! Only caught up as much as the 'I hate forwards' talk and feeling very very as I just forwarded an email that I got from dp's mum about trying to get petrol prices down And I probably sent it to you too Maveta even though its irrelevant to you as you're in spain (or thereabouts!) Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry!!!

Tut tut Pesha!! Thank you for the email !

Elkie, hope the meeting goes well.

Nutty - good to see you - hadn't seen you for a bit.

Where is POTC?

We need a new thread soon!!

Oooggs, I am sending you >>vibes for next week! I seriously wonder how I would cope. Then again, I suppose I would have to, would not like it much though. 14 consecutive nights is a really rough shift pattern. Working nights is miserable enough, and the most I have ever done is five in a row.

Maveta, hooray for your sister! What lovely news. Takes the pressure off anyone here now too, as we have the first pregnancy on the thread!

NL, glad you have had a better day today

Must go back to the ironing Dh has gone over to MIL to drop off some meat we got from a local farmer - yum!

Quick vote please?

We are having both the boys christened in 10 days time.

My brother has got himself a new girlfriend, and has asked please can he bring her along.

We have never met her (although I am sure she is nice enough iyswim). What would you do. I'm not going to say she can't come, but it is the christening of my sons??

Do I just suggest that we have to meet her first. Also she lives 60 miles away so not just around the corner either?

I said she could come but we really would like to meet her first and he kind of went off on one. AIBU?

Opinions???

Pesha have to admit that I laughed when that email came through. With all the slagging off of junk emails today!

I am not bothered by them at all, it's just another one to add to the collection. I'm fed up of deleting the Grassroots ones tbh.

And I liked the "scary" one IDOC.

And I've got a migraine.....................AGAIN.

Ok have read rest of the thread and not feeling quite so bad now!

SOL and BWI - glad you have both been reassured by sensible gps. at bloody panicky hvs!

UW - am at your ds being picked on when he's only 4, thats awful. I would be fuming. Makes you wonder about the parents of the kids doing the bullying doesnt it

And um...everything NL said!!

Had lovely time in exeter. My mum bought me 2 new coats as my birthday and christmas pressies! 1 practical warm waterproofish one that was half price and a lovely smart one.
I got this for D, its even cuter in real life and I couldnt resist. And a couple of other things as christmas presents. Could have done with an extra 3 or 4 hours shopping time though!

pinions tbh i would say the more the merrier. It's nice that she is interested enough to want to come really. Of course if you are having a sit-down meal or anything I can see it would be tricky. And if she turns out awful don't blame me

Mwah ha NL. What would you do if I did blame you?? .

Yes always good to see it from a different perspective. It's kind of got my back up prior to him calling tonight cos my mum has already been asking if she can come so that we can all meet her at the same time.

Feel a bit crap now. Just feels a bit weird that we've never met her??

I need to go and sort this migraine out.

Pinions x posted.

I'm not sure I'd want to meet her first but I suppose it depends on what sort of girls your brother goes for! If he tends to go for loud/outrageous/obnoxious/otherwise unsuitable girls then I probably would want to meet her first. if your brother is normally very calm, sensible and trustworthy I would trust his judgement that she's ok to bring.

God I really do go on dont i?!

Oh meant to sayu we're nearly at 500 messages so ellie is bound to pop up soon to start a new thread!

Pinions - I would run away very fast to the farthest corners of MN where no pumpkin- lobbing-enraged-sisters-of-blokes-with-girlfriends-who-turned-out-to-be-awful-are!
Phew.....hope she is ok because if I have to change my name to NorthernLurkingwherenopumpkin etc etc postingn is going to take a very long time

Sorry to hear about the migraine - do you get them often?
