evening all - off to iron (yes I know it must be a blue moon) and hang the new bedroom curtains, all furniture in, except the bed which is moving tomorrow and things need putting on the walls!!!!!

good evening folks. having a grand time in ireland.
hi to all of us with sleep "issue" babies. surely it is just a phase??????
C wont let me out of her sight and is screaming through all her nap times and pretty whingy the rest of the days. was meant to be meeting up with a group of pals tommorrow but as they dont have kids - i have cancelled as i dont think they would tolerate nor understand a grumpy baby.

i am so so tired. the PND is back with a vengence. some times it fels like i want to sleep and never have to wake up.
off for a long bath and relaxing soak. hope we all have good nights.
xxxx

weeonion you sound really stressed Hope you're OK. Are you going to see doc or HV about PND? When are you back?
I've been thinking about the 'blanket over face thing', although I very rarely sleep on my back, when I do I put my arm over my eyes, or I can't sleep! So maybe it's quite common? Anyway, T was his usual easy self to put in cot half an hour ago, I'd like to think he's back to normal, but more than likely he was just exhausted.
It's looking very likely that move date will be next Friday

Eddas · 23/11/2007 20:48

aw wo hope you're feeling brighter soon

sol, i think the whole world has those primark blankets, ds has 4 might get in a coupl more as he is rather attached.

Oooggs, was going to ask if today is the big move to your bedroom

Right, whose for a glass of wine? Maybe a vodka? Currently having a cup of tea myself as i'm saving my drinking for tomorrow night

Eddas · 23/11/2007 20:50

ooo spb, how exciting, a moving date, yay DH went to work the day we moved TBH was better him not being around

Sexonlegs · 23/11/2007 20:54

Oh WO, you sound v stressed. Hope you can at least have some lovely relaxing time with your family.

SPB, I have everything crossed for you!!!

MY BROTHER IS ON ITV AT 9.20 PM.

Haven't got a clue what it is, my mum just rang.

It's an advert, 9.20pm "starring" a family with two kids my brother is acting the dad/husband.

I wouldn't mind but he used the picture of him holding T to get the part.

Right look out he's the lanky one.

Sexonlegs · 23/11/2007 21:00

Is that Channel 4 or ITV?

Sexonlegs · 23/11/2007 21:01

Duuuuuuu, just read your post properly!!!

Eddas · 23/11/2007 21:02

I had to read it twice too

Off to do some research for my secret santa present

Idreamofchocolate · 23/11/2007 21:03

Hello, first of all huge apologies to all the SE ladies for not making the meet-up. S was sick again last night and Em went off to school complaining of feeling sick (but bad mummy, I still sent her). There is a sickness & diarrhea bug going round at her school, which seems to keep circulating amongst us. So sorry, as I was looking forward to seeing you all for a coffee and a rant.

On a brighter note, I am famous. Please see the MN home page...I have won £250 of White Company vouchers for filling in a survey! I am very very excited indeed and that made up for missing out this morning.

Hope all good with everyone...will try to catch up with all the chat.

AndaPinionsinaPearTree · 23/11/2007 21:07

ITV !! is it the same for the whole country I think so?

I want to be famous too [hopeful].

Sexonlegs · 23/11/2007 21:08

IDOC, you poor lot. What a hell of a time you havebeen having. How are S and E now? We will no doubt have another meet-up!!

Congrats on winning!!! Fab news.

AndaPinionsinaPearTree · 23/11/2007 21:10

Oh idoc they were my Vouchers .

You'll get some decent sheets with those .

AndaPinionsinaPearTree · 23/11/2007 21:10

[10 mins to go]

[will die of I'm wrong]

AndaPinionsinaPearTree · 23/11/2007 21:11

[if]

NorthernLurker · 23/11/2007 21:11

Golly - 'famous' night here then. Well done IDOC - enjoy spending your vouchers!

SOL - I can see my name is now somewhat redundant but I've got attached to it now - I think it gives me a pleasing air of mystery...

Yummmmm - just had lovely spinach cannelloni for tea - recipe available to anyone who would like it and I'm going to have syrup sponge pudding for ....pudding! Recipe also available if wanted - the pudding is made in a microwave with combination element so don't know what would happen to it in an ordinary one

AndaPinionsinaPearTree · 23/11/2007 21:11
Idreamofchocolate · 23/11/2007 21:13

SOL - fingers crossed, all OK at the moment. S is funny when she's sick as she grins her head off afterwards, she just takes it all in her stride. Em on the other hand is a complete drama queen.... I hope it's out of their systems for the weekend as we have tonnes to do....

Idreamofchocolate · 23/11/2007 21:14

Pinions, is your bro an actor then? (is that a really derrrr question?)

PeshaCake · 23/11/2007 21:20

Hello!!!!!

Pillock here

spotted this just in time so have now turned ITV on!!!!

I am here, safe and sound

Joe went from 9pm til 5am last night so yes, Katy, it would appear that link really is working!

AndaPinionsinaPearTree · 23/11/2007 21:22

OMG the adverts were on at 9.15 and I blardy well missed it, will watch at 9.30. It's on again on Sunday apparently.

My brother is a Quantity Surveyor.

A family friend works in media/advertising >.

AndaPinionsinaPearTree · 23/11/2007 21:24

Am thinking it may be DFS, nothing glam, adverts on again 9.30. My mum watched at 9.15 and said he wasn't on.

PeshaCake · 23/11/2007 21:24

NOW

SW Meet-up

I'm thinking that sadly mammyJ won't be coming now, and as she was arranging with runny I'm guessing she isn't either?

So do we still want to meet? WCL? Octo? Oooggs is too scared to meet me

We could do it nearer to this area now the welsh contingent are missing?

Pillock

Sexonlegs · 23/11/2007 21:25

Pinions, I was watching but no ad that had a family in it.

Hi Pillock, so glad you got there in one piece!
