REALLY DOING MY HEAD IN.

Glad you rid yourself of the ryvita pinions.
I have rediscovered the wonder of the underwire! As a girl with rather ample bosoms they have been rather saggy for far too many months. They actually have a bit of lift now thanks to my new underwires!! Have been major bra shopping over the weekend

cazboldy · 11/11/2007 19:05

molly just falls asleep, wherever she is - normally on the floor! but mine do have to do the school run twice a day and the littlest two both usually sleep in the car. what about going for a walk with him in the buggy? that's what i've always done if they get ratty!

cazboldy · 11/11/2007 19:05

sorry wo - her!

PinionsAndHerPumpkinClub · 11/11/2007 19:09

Bring it on mj. With a combo of finally giving up feeding and losing a shed load of weight are looking very alone in my bra atm.

Bra shopping for me too soon, can't cope with underwired though.

Right I am going to set up the new emoticon thread. Am going to ignore the non-believers though . I am I am I am. I can do it .

PinionsAndHerPumpkinClub · 11/11/2007 19:26

DEED IS DONE.

Right, thanks for all the ryvita suggestions girls. Forewarned is forearmed and all that.

Am going for my 2000 cal chinese . Ooooh dear. Night ladies x

And if my emoticons thread gets slated I will be disappearing for roughly 2 weeks.

Mwa ha ha ha. Bugger forgot evil laugh emoticon.

Weeonion, we have been thinking something very similar. Have had a very grumpy 3 days with T over tired during the day and separation anxiety seems to have started too, he screams if I walk away from him.
Not quite ready to do cc yet, but will try to encourage a decent length nap in the morning and afternoon, then a reasonable bed time. We'll see!!

weeonion · 11/11/2007 19:51

thaks folks. she is fine getting her down at night - lovely wee routine goign and seems to be grand. daytimes ahve been getting steadily worse and we do have a routine for them as well. it just seems she fights it so much. i dont know why she wakes after 20 mins.
she will fall asleep when being worn but again - no longer than 20. same in teh buggy - after much protesting.

draining for her. draining for me.

pinions - glad you got the ryvita out.
mammyj - really pleased you treated yourself to new bras. u feel all sexy again?

CaptainDippy · 11/11/2007 20:09

Hmmmm, weeonion - I have always put my babies down at the same time every day and I have to admit - I use dummies. I just pop P down on her tummy with her dummy, pull her blanket over her - She might lie there for a while grunting and "mmmmmming"; but she always goes off. Like Pillock, if I put her down and she screams blue murder from more than a couple of mins, I know she is not tired enough to sleep. I've never needed to do CC with any of mine - I don't do crying tbh.... I also tend to find pre-empting her tireness is a sure fire way to get her to sleep - As soon as she starts fussing, rubbing her eyes etc, I give her quick boobie and pop her down before she can get over-wrought. She tends to get tired at the same times everyday and this helps ...... about 9.30am and 2pm - 2 - 3 hrs if she is put in her cot or about 1/2 hr if out in the pram, which is a bugger, but enough to see her through. HTH!!!?

Evening ladies ......

CaptainDippy · 11/11/2007 20:12

Also meant to say, thank you for your compliments on my new profile pics! Absolutely PMSL @ octo's "pies" comments ......

CaptainDippy · 11/11/2007 20:14

Ooooooh, NorthernLurker - just checked out your pics too - Awwww, the one of all 3 of your girlies is soooo lovely - and what a cutie B is - she has yummy big eyes - yum!

elkiedee · 11/11/2007 20:18

I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to crying. D sometimes falls asleep in his pram but often goes into what I call prenap grizzle, particularly if it's 2-3 hours since he last slept. Sometimes it just takes a nappy change, or yesterday he slept for 2.5 hours in his pushchair (I was rather taken aback!) And I'm another dummy user.

geordiemacminx · 11/11/2007 20:19

Hey ladies!!

Pinions about Ryvita!! They are evil wee things!

WO -no advice about sleeping - C never sleeps in his cot during the day - 1st nap in bed with mammy, lunch time one usually out and about, afternoon fed to sleep on pillow on my knee whilst I MN

Well dp and I went out last night and stayed in a hotel - only a few miles down the road but it was lovely. Went for a mexican, a few drinks and a full nights sleep - HAPPY DAYS. Had a nice day today too, went to a food and christams fayre, then a huge garden centre to see all things christmasy.

Very sad news about friends of my mums - lesbian couple, been trying for 3 years to have a baby. 10 lots of sperm donation - £700 a shot, mostly unsuccessful and a couple of mc's. Started IVF, took a good few courses at a cost of £1000's. Eventually she fell pregnant with twins, but they were born 3 weeks ago at 25 weeks. One of the wee boys died not long after birth, the other one, Christopher is holding on in, certainly not out of the woods but thoughts and prayers for them.

elkiedee · 11/11/2007 20:20

Ooohhhhh, gorgeous (CD's pics) - I particularly like the one with the tongue sticking out.

elkiedee · 11/11/2007 20:22

GMM, sorry to hear about your mum's friends.

weeonion · 11/11/2007 20:28

gmm - everything crossed for your mums friends.

oooggs · 11/11/2007 20:29

gmm - that sounds like a fab night yet so sorry to hear of your mums friends I get easily upset especially concerning twins

CaptainDippy · 11/11/2007 20:30

Oh GMM for your mum's friends - how desperate for them, praying the remaining little one holds on ...... do keep us up-to-date .....

Hi Elkie - I rather like the tongue poking out one too, she is such a grown up little thing now - When did that happen!!!!!?

geordiemacminx · 11/11/2007 20:31

WO - what you up to on Tues? Gotta go into town for a mystery shop

CaptainDippy · 11/11/2007 20:32
