this and this

both on GMM's christmas list

It's Runny I think SPB.

good morning folks. quick post so i can find this thread later

Thank you runny / ILB you guys are lovely.

So what are people's plans today?? I am just doing a few NCT newsletter bits and other admin type stuff this am and then off to a good friends this pm. Taking the girls to tea at outlaws later as I can just about bear the walk to said friends, but not the loooong walk back with fractious baby and 2 whining little people ......

Morning all!

CD, glad you are feeling a bit brighter today. I am really happy to help you if I can.

BWI, how is Jake today? And you?

Pesha, how is dd?

Hope everyone else is ok too.

All ok here. Been to nursery for a settling in session this a.m. with K. Just filling in forms etc. and then she will be in on Thursday on her own for 2 hours

Noticed something odd today, and wondered what your thoughts were. I gave K cereal this morning, and rather than use formula as per norm, I used cows milk. Nursery noticed that one of her hands and one of her ears were really red, and her hand was quite puffy. Do you think this could be a sign of cows milk intolerance or do you think it was just a coincidence?

Would cows milk intolerance not show up from formula though SOL? Or do you use a soya one?
Although it does seem a big coincidence!
Having a nightmare trying to get the solicitors talking to each other and to the estate agents

Hi there, I think there are cows milk derivatives in formula. I know you are not to give them cows milk as a drink unti they are 1.

I might to a bit of research. Can't think what else it could be.

How was your night?

I think the no cow's milk to drink is because of sodium levels in it IIRC.

Just a quickie post, will try & catch up properly later.

Re meet ups, am away 6th - 13th Jan. Will be great if we can sort something out.

I'm thinking of doing the Santa Run in Princes St Gardens 16th December (a chartity thing - you get a santa outfit & elf hat for the littlies) if any of the Scottish mus are interested I'll find the email link.

Hope she's ok SOL
Night was ok but not good, thanks for asking

{{{{SPB}}}} I know that frustrating lack of communication when you are trying to move house OH so well - It certainly wasn't our choice to move house with 2 toddlers, a Bump and a WHOLE load of stress on Christmas Eve last year ......

REALLY hoping it all goes smoothly for you guys. xxxx

SOL - not sure - might've just been a co-incidence, or possiblity not - could've just been K's body reacting to something new, rather than an intolerent reaction, iyswim!!? Speaking of reacting to something new, I caught my slighty-bigger-than-mini-tinkers feeding cheesey crisps to P at church meal yesterday - She has a really poorly hurty tummy and yukky yuk yuk nappies today So a bit of cow's milk is the least of your worries, SOL - At least B isn't feeding K crap!!

Thanks ladies. It was just so odd, that out of the blue her hand became red, puffy and really hot!

She seems fine - as happy as Larry!

Poor P CD. Hope she is feeling better soon.

yes, its runny

sol not sure what to say about the milk. Luckily nothing like that has happened with us, although there's plenty of time.

spb I can't imagine what moving house must be like.

Well, rang physio this morning, told them my symptoms, and they said that it does sound like SPD but until I get in to see them, its not 100%. So just have to wait for an appt.

Now, I really am going Christmas shopping! Going to a retail park near here, and the Marks&Spencer has a lovely coffee shop (and plus, J loves their gingerbread men!)

Oh yes, and J has started checking W nappy for us, and keeps telling us he's done a poo (even when he hasn't)

Bless him, he really thinks he's helping!

Bless 'em, eh!!? Enjoy your Christmas shopping and I hope the hospital / physio appt comes through for your quickly. xx

Right need to go and feed the troops before setting off on the loooong walk to my friends (well, loooong walk with 2 little people anyway!!)

Ooooh, just had reciept from HR that they recieved my application form for the job .... eeeeek!!

praying for the form Dippy - enjoy the walk!

Hi runny/ILAB - hope you do well with the shopping.

SPB - a {{{{Hug}}}} for the night and for the house move - grrrrrh. Ours is on hold atm - nowhere we want to buy, our buyers haven't sold theirs and what was the other thing - oh yes - dh will be without gainful employment as of 01/01/08

Hello to eveyone else

forgot to say - am hiding here whilst making dh a birthday cake - my arm hurts from stirring the thing - please can I have positive cake vibes please - my last few efforts haven't turned out so well

hi all last night wasn't as bad as expected (can't get worse )

dh came home this morning and it could be an extra week of nights!!!!!

will post personals later

helllooooo

Having a day today. DD was up at just before 6 DS had already woken at around 5 for milk. Think his teeth are playing up. Or maybe it's the start of chicken pox. Either way tired mummy= bad day

Found out that dd will be the inn keeper in the preschool nativity Now I have to research just what an inn keeper should look like. I'm thinking similar to a shepard but it must be slightly different? My friend said a white sheet with a tea towel oh the joys of costume making Did I say that I had to make dd a pig/tina from Me Too outfit the other day[rolls eyes]

Right off to investigate whilst I have sort of peace and quiet

oh oooggs - will there be any benefit for you as a family from that - extra cash, time off in lieu - or is it just a case of live with it? I had an interesting night - B woke at 12, fed and back to sleep - successfully back in her cot - then at 1.15 little madam was yelling fit to burst - dh woke up first (! v unusual) and got her for me - no way was I going to feed her again so we just cuddled down. Think she stirred a couple of times but it's all a blur - know I fed her at 4 - cos I remember thinking - 'isn't it amazing I can do this in my sleep' so not sure if I was asleep or not Basically I think I've slept my way through an interrupted night - so feel okish this morning.

Grrrrrh costumes - dd1 had an AZTEC day recently.

I think an innkeeper should indeed look like a shepherd but with a belt with a big ring of keys on it - make out of cardboard to avoid jingling and 'but that was the only key to the school gym - which loo did you drop it down'

thanks NL

Have search inn keeper on here and it seems they are sheperds but with plain clothes not stripey. And they keys is a great idea.

Am a bit miffed though as dd is not a boy ffs Will see what other roles the kids got and see if they are all mixed up. I mean can't imagine any of the boys being angels But I guess there are boy and girl angels I know it shouldn't be a boy/girl thing but just seems a little odd and she's not the inn keeper she's an inn keeper so i assume there's a few

Hi Eddas - have had a quick look in the gospels and can't find any reference to the innkeeper being male - so I think dd could be a very swishly dressed innkeeper - possibly with a pink headdress and still be biblically accurate

ooops

may well do that dd is a pink freak!

It's not a traditional navity though. Don't think many are these days so I'd imagine some of the kids are weird things. Guess I should be grateful she's not something too obscure

Off to make some christmas decorations with dd. Providing ds can stop crying for a few seconds

aaaaaargh dh has broken the garage door
