Aww E&H, that's lovely!

NL - yup, that's why I've had to go back, no more dosh. Also worried that the person who was doing my job was getting a bit too keen on it!

Idreamofchocolate · 07/01/2008 20:57

That made me smile Maveta - at least it's your mum he loves, and not some random child-minder; that really would be hard to bare!

Idreamofchocolate · 07/01/2008 20:58

Or bear even

Evening all.

Happy Birthday Runny!!! Hope you are having a lovely evening. xx Well done on resigning today as well. A fab job is out there with your name on it.

Oooggs, so glad you are going to be seen on Friday. Will be thinking of you.

POTC, such lovely news for your friend and her dh re the pregnancy. What an awful thing to have gone through.

Octo, good luck with the job hunting.

IDOC, it will get better!!! I hate leaving K too, but I know it benefits all of us at the end of the day. Hang on in there.

Dippy, enjoy your curry.

Hi NL!

All good here. Dd's asleep and I have just eaten a flake!! What more could one ask for..... apart from another flake!

AngeG · 07/01/2008 21:04

Hello All

Happy Birthday Runny! My mum has that book, haven't worked out what shape I am yet though!

IDOC -Glad first day of work went ok.It is hard to leave them, but once I had settled back to work I felt a better mummy from having some time away. Hope S ear ok.

Oooggs - Glad you got an appointment. Thanks for the info

Dippy- Enjoy your curry

POTC - Great news about your friend

Sympathy on those being bitten, Izzy bites occasionally. Only once has it been really bad, I used these wore them for about 24 hours and it felt better.

Thanks for all your advice about Izzy's armpits, they are loads better today.

We also had another ear incident last night. Izzy was crying at 9pm so Dh went and got her, I turned round to look at her and her face/hands/grobag were covered in blood on closer inspection I saw she had been scratching her infected ear and had made it bleed loads. So I cleaned her up, cut and filed her nails, fed her and put her back to bed with socks over her hands

Octo, have you thought about being a Virtual PA? Not sure what field you were in.

Octo · 07/01/2008 21:17

Thanks WCL.

Do you want to meet on weds for a coffee?

Idreamofchocolate · 07/01/2008 21:20

Hi Ange, sorry to hear Izzy has a bad ear too. Is it behind her ear, or does she have an ear infection?

Sexonlegs · 07/01/2008 21:29

Ooh Ange, poor Izzy -sounds dreadful poor lamb. Hope she is better soon.

cazboldy · 07/01/2008 21:38

So am I the only sahm on here then (apart from Dippy, who is looking for a job???)

geordiemacminx · 07/01/2008 21:39

Me

Octo · 07/01/2008 21:40

I am a sahm Calzbody - just would like more money! If could do it without working then would ... tricky!

cazboldy · 07/01/2008 21:43

oh good, i am not the only one then...... I worked at my little ones school until I had charlie, 2 years ago now, and then I had 2 horses on livery until we moved, but am actually in no form of employment at the moment, but tbh I wouldn't want to work at the moment.....having older dc makes you realise how quickly they grow up.
There are definitely some sacrifices we have to make though

cazboldy · 07/01/2008 21:43

did you get my text potc??

cazboldy · 07/01/2008 21:44

gotta go - back tomorrow....night ladies x

AngeG · 07/01/2008 21:48

Hi IDOC - Izzy has an ear infection. Do you think S has one?

Hi SOL We must meet up again soon. Will email you xx

Sexonlegs · 07/01/2008 21:57

Ange, would be great to meet up again. Look forward to the email. xx

Night Caz!!!

fpesha · 07/01/2008 21:59

Ok still catching up on old thread!

Very pissed off tonight, both boys were in bed asleep by 7.15. 8o'clock N woke up and crept downstairs to get a drink and D woke up with a dirty nappy. Changed nappy, fed him again for over half an hour after him screaming but all 3 dc are still awake now! D and N were playing so I've sent N to slepp in my bed and D is now crying. I was gonna go to bed soon but they're ruining all my child free relaxing time so I'm not relaxed i'm fucked off stressed

Anyway on my catch up what i can remember so far is -

Ange I think it would only be considered chavy if you'd spelt it Iiz-O*-Bel or perhaps mixed it with another name and called her Izoiona or something similarly daft! As it is i think its lovely!

Eddas lol at your pushchair - not at all weird not to want SIL to use it first. Its your new toy pushchair so of course you want to play with use it first!

KHIN - sorry you're all having such a crappy time of it lately. Glad you got abs off 2 nd dr but you couldn't get them first time.

Sexonlegs · 07/01/2008 22:02

Hi Pesha, sounds like you are having a shite time. Hope they all settle and you get some time off.

Right, am off to bed - what excitement..

See you all tomorrow lovely ladies. xx

WestCountryLass · 07/01/2008 22:05

I could meet you in the morning Octo, what time and where?

WestCountryLass · 07/01/2008 22:07

Only suggested the Virtual PA thing because there is a Mum at school who is one and she lives in a nice house, drives a nice car and always looks lovely I asked her what she did and she told me, apparantly she works mainly for an Americal chap, so he emails her work in the morning (our afternoon) and she does it in the evening when the kids are in bed). If I could be arsed, I would do it!

Octo · 07/01/2008 22:10

I have to drop the kids at school at 9, then pop to Brislington to have the dent in my bumper assessed (10mins) then would com eup through Clifton to Cribbs. If we said 10.30 would that be okay - at the fountain again?

Am off to bed now - will double check tomorrow with you

Night xx

WestCountryLass · 07/01/2008 22:39

Thats fine, I could meet you in Clifton if that easier for you?

fpesha · 07/01/2008 22:52

MJ - def get signed off work for as long as you need to get yourself feeling back on top of things again.

Dippy/dyson! - Very of P going to nursery. Although Older 2 back to school in morning so just me and D but as I'm doing telesales from home job I dont get a break from him! Looking for something else though

SPB - ow to being bitten, bonjela?!?

NL - D does the pinching thing, intersperses it with stroking and gentle squeezing too though so I let him off! I think he is in love with my boobs

Ooh HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUNNY!!

Ow to all being bitten

(Have this open in 2 windows btw so posting as I read!)

Lol at J's porridge still sat in kitchen

D has been sleeping really well lately, fri night slept from around 8pm (cant remember for sure) til 8am! and most nights for last week has been sleeping through from 8-9 till 6 or 7 then having quick feed and going back to sleep for an hour or so. Along with one 2 hour sleep in the day so I'm very happy (Please dont let it stop just cos I said that!)

Although tonigt obviously been crap. Went up and he'd done another poo so changed him and he cried fro a bit then went sleep. N came down just now for a pen for his scrap book I thought he'd gone to sleep! Tomorrow after school they're going to be hell!!

Oooggs - glad you have an appointment Will be thinking of you and have been thinking of you. Ok that sounds crap but ykwim I hope Sorry I'm emotionally crippled not very good with words.

Ange and IDOC - about lo's ears Hope drs can sort thrm out (or has Izzy already been ) Hope they're better soon anyway

Caz - I am sahm although looking for work but only cos I need money. Am with you 100% on having older ones making you realise how quickly they grow. As D is my last in an ideal work I'd be SAHM until he was 2.5 ish and off to playschool part time and then I'd work part time and full time when he goes school. Am hoping to work as little as poss though and just make do with being skint! I've been skint for years now so its nothing new!!

I want to meet up with someone again Car still not fixed though so relying on dp atm. Car going in fri for exhaust and MOT - think I will be raiding the kids savings to pay for that

This post must be huge now

And typos aplenty but too tired to correct!
