SPB, ikwym, I sometimes think I may as well just spoon K's food straight in to her nappy - eughhhhhhhhh!!

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:11

Aye up Sol pmsl.

Mouth straight down connection here too.

Be warned they get worse (poos that is ).

Sexonlegs · 18/01/2008 13:13

Can't wait !

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:16

I know !!

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 13:17

sorry pinions did read all that but wasn't sure which bit was "the news" or if it was still to come iyswim
When might you be testing? Can't wait to find out for both of you
Lol at K's food straight in nappy SOL, i sometimes think I might as well throw it striaght on the floor as that's where it goes actually if he finds it on the floor afterwards he eats what he's ignored on highchair - urgh! maybe i should clean floor more often and let him eat there!!

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:22

NOOOOOOOOO IT'S NOT GOOD NEWS !!

Maveta · 18/01/2008 13:22

eh? Pinions? what was that? Couldn't hear you through the lovely new haircut that now hugs my lugs

SPB - excuse me but did you just make MORE comment on my lovely but very much lacking in a new haircut little boy than on MOI? You have totally missed the point of the assignment. Which is ME! ahem. sorry. lost myself there. yes, it is a carrot. that was in early blw days before I realised I did not have the patience to eye him like a hawk for signs of choking for the whole half hour it took him to ingest 1cm of veg stick BLW should come with a clear warning 'REQUIRES PATIENCE'

Maveta · 18/01/2008 13:23

ooh pinions I missed that news! I would also like the email btw [nosey]

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 13:24

oops sorry pinions
Maveta Well I almost couldn't see him through that wonderful new haircut so when I did I thought I should mention it!

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 13:25

T's newest hobby is pulling DVDs off the bookcases
So why does he like martial arts and 24 out of all the ones he could have chosen??

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:25

Did I mention that I liked the new haircut.

Email on it's way. Be warned it's not very girly, personally I prefer talking about haircuts too. Shallow (me that is not you ).

Like the haircut btw.

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 13:26

Yeah, great haircut
Maybe it should be a new thread title when we get to needing one?

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:27

"Maveta gets a new haircut".

Classic.

Maveta · 18/01/2008 13:29

PMSL

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:29
Maveta · 18/01/2008 13:32

Now Pinions, that's just not fair. How can anyone else truly be asked to come out of the new haircut closet after my virtuoso performance?

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 13:33

I had a hair cut yesterday
well, yanked off and chewed would be more accurate

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:33

My new haircut.

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:40

Maveta · 18/01/2008 13:40

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:42

This is more me .

this is more like it??

Maveta · 18/01/2008 13:46

[bursts into tears]

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:46

Ok am sulking away now........ but my hair does like that some mornings.

Am loving the email requests for the book btw !!

Will email on, anyone else please feel free.

As I mentioned not very girly (I suppose that's stereotyping), not overly my cup of tea but thought provoking stuff indeed.

Right while I've been sat here tossing it off constructively MN'ing DP has been running around like a blue arsed fly so had better go and lend a hand.

justpinions · 18/01/2008 13:48

MAVETA
