June 2007 - cheesecake, chocolate cake, newspaper, dog biscuits ... What DON'T they eat?

[milkyJammy]

Couldn't resist, hope this is OK with y'all?

Night annobal xx

I'm off too. Night all

holly that nappy looks lush!

Me too, ds is all grizzly again.

Have a lovely lie in all those that can xx

Morning
Thanks for that link Holly. I've registered and ticked toys, lightweight strollers, feeding stuff and nursery products. No room to store lots of big stuff unfortunately.

And the nearest I got to a lie in is half an hour of being poked in the eyes, having my lips and hair pulled, and being slobbered over until I gave up and brought the jamlet downstairs.

Good morning and happy mother's day to you all my dears.

Drat had a whole load of stuff to add and it's all gone out of my head...feeling a bit fried as both DDs think that they have some god given right to sleep in our bed, and then kick, pinch and pull out hair! Ouch!

Holly: v. shocked at your DP going to play golf this morning - that's terrible! I think you should take yourself out for a nice treat today and leave him at home.

Daisy - that little girl did sound terrible - I'm sure yours will be a little angel. Glad to say DD1 has turned a corner in the last couple of months or it could well have been her.

hi aqll hows you all on this fine mothers day?
not read all thread way to much
well not been around to much only to ask questions on other threads! ds been in hospital this time could not walk, was in 5 days with an infection in his feet, hes still not right too.

as for chloe been told she may have mild cp, but at least if it ois we can get on with our lives, it would explain most of her problems.

noticed on an other thread i need to say congrats to daisy we will have to meet soon?

Trace, sorry to hear about DS. Sounds nasty. Afraid I don't really know anything about CP, but as you said once you know what it is you can start getting on. You've all been so strong, the past months sound like they've been really tough, hope you get some calm soon to enjoy yourselves.

afternoon. DD was up at 5 this morning, so no lie in for me either. I got a CD and a huge bar of galaxy, plus some little narcissus in a pot from DS (he chose them himself at the garden centre this afternoon)

Trace, sorry about your poor DS. You and your family deserve a break from all the worry, you really do. Sorry to hear about Chloe as well, but at least if you have a definate dignosis, you can start to deal with it and get on woth your lives. I'm sure all the lovely ladies on the special needs threads will have good advice for you.

Zelda, I was going to ask you how DD was doing. I'm glad things are easier for you now

I've put DD in a big cardboard box with some toys to play with to keep her contained while I do a bit of MNetting. It would be cruel if she weren't so happy aboout it

Went to see the MIL today and told her our news. I've never ever seen her lost for words before.........once the shock had worn off she seemed very excited at the prospect. She did comment "I can't have 6 grandchildren!!" though. Why do some people have to make everything about them?

lol bumper at SPB thinking you were pregnant too!!

Your DD in a box sounds very cute Dasiy

Mixed day here. The morning was flippin' awful with big row between me & DH and lots of grumpiness but he got the DIY done quicker than expected and we made it to the garden centre for a quick visit this afternoon and had a nice time looking at the rabbits with the jamlet And we just made it to waitrose before they closed on the way home and managed to get some reduced price lavender cup cakes The jamlet is now asleep and keeps smiling in her sleep - I wonder if she's dreaming of little bunnys?

Hi all, just popping in quickly, I wanted to say daisy this must be a sad day for you, the first Mother's Day without your mum. I hope you are feeling ok.

LOL at your MIL though. My family are the same. My sister keeps saying "I can't believe I'm an aunt, it hasn't quite sunk in yet". I'm like "yeah, it a big thing for you isn't it"

Trace, sorry to hear about more illness in your family, but sounds like they are getting close with Chloe. Have you tried posting on the SN board for advice?

Jammy, sorry about your fight. Nothing like mother's day to highlight how unappreciated you feel!

Right, off to have take away now, DH's contribution to mother's day . He's better wash up!

Evening ladies

Daisy...hope today has been OK....was thinking of you earlier and how hard the first of everything is....I sent my MIL loads....mug, flowers, card, photos etc and I have heard fuck all...not even a thank-you.....makes you wonder doesn't it....and the people who would appreciate these things aren't around....

I've been very lucky....after some really heavy handed hints over the past few days, I got flowers sent, a lovely card (and a hand painted card from nursery), a digital key-ring....AND a lie-in until 9am....I cooked us all a huge breakfast and DD had her first one....including hash browns, baked beans, bacon, tomatoes and dippy egg....she LOVED it, and then had toast and marmite afterwards...

Trace...nice to hear from you . Sorry to hear about DS....as the others have said, hopefully a diagnosis with DD will mean you can learn to deal with things and get on with life....the SN boards on MN are very supportive from what I've seen

Hope everyone else is OK and had nice days....sorry about DH Jammy....bloody men

Happy Mothers Day everyone

Daisy, you've been in my thoughts today. I hope you have still had a lovely day celebrating being a mum.

Jammy, sounds like its been brewing a while -hopefully it'll sort things out. For a while anyway

Norty - pah!

Hi everyone! Hope everyone has had a nice mother's day today
We went to a carvery for dinner. DD enjoyed herself. She ate most of DP's turkey and sat in her high chair shouting as loud as she could. Everyone was turning round and laughing at her!

I am avoiding my children and wondering if they will eventually put themselves to bed. I have turned the heating up hoping they will fall into a drowsy sleep

Heehee Foxy! My DD is still up, well actually she's just fallen asleep in her chair but I'm gonna put her in bed before Wife Swap is on.

Happy mother's day everyone!

Daisy, I hope you have had a nice day and have already finished the Galaxy .

LOL Foxy. DH just making dinner and Larkrise about to be on. DS3 is grumbling in bed and the other buggers darlings are fast asleep.

Mine are all in bed.

LOL at Wife Swap "I wish she wouldn't spend as much time on the computer as she does". Do you think she's a Mumsnetter?

Did you get treated like a queen Annobal?

blardy hell, I'm crying now......i love you guys

We've had a good day. We were going to go out for tea, but due to urgent remedial works required to the raised beds, DH didn't get finished, so we had takeout instead.

DD escaped from her box. She sat up on her knees, grabbed the sides and tipped it over, faceplanting on the wooden floor. I thought she was going to howl, but she just looked at me and gave a triumphant hoot .

I swear she said banana at teatime when I handed some over. she won't repeat it though!

actually, I've been feeling really sloshy around my middle and a bit crampy, like I'm about to come on. This is normal isn't it? I've forgotten already

aww Daisy

Jumping on the 'day for firsts' given that DD2 is barely sitting up, and has the faintest hint of a tooth she clapped. Twice. I swear.

She was in her high-chair and I was doing 'pat-a-cake' with her, and she clapped. And then she did it again tonight!

That girl's a genius!

(Though I know she won't do it again for another 10 months probably!)

How many weeks are you Daisy? Isn't that the implanting?

Best put your feet up and have some chocolate (for the calcium, of course).

Hope everyone has had a lovely Mothers Day
We had a lovely lunch today and little fella was good as gold and spent most of the time munching away on a yorkshire pud!

And he has only done one very neat pooh! whereas he normally does at least 4 mahoosive - out of the nappy - full on outfit changes a day!!!! I think I'll go and sniff his bum in his cot in a bit as I don't fancy finding him covered in it in the morning

Foxy - I've just fb you - finally!!!

Righto, LO is awake. Bugger.

Two words for my Mothers Day.

Fucking Shite. DP

Boys bought me pressies from school. DS2 gave me chocs and a book of Mothers Poetry (God, it is full of really depressing poetry! I thought it would be, "my mum is great, she lets me stay up late" no no no, tis poetry from ye olde days). DS1 gave me a plant and a biscuit. DD1 bought cake with DP.) Fucks me off that he did the bare minimum. And didn't compensate in anyway for being away on holiday which I pulled out of because of the baby).

Anyway, thats all fine, but they have consistently ignored/ganged up on me all day. I have felt significantly outnumbered. DD2 wouldn't go to sleep all day, and is having seperation issues.

In reality it has very little to do with Mothers Day but a culmination of being on my own a lot over the last 2 months (including half term).
Aren't you glad you asked now?

Oh, you didn't!

Sorry. I am offloading. But I haven't spoken to another adult today (apart from my and his mother).

But hey, tomorrows another day.

Groundhog day.

I shall take my miserable arse off here, get DD2 and read the papers, so bid you farewell.

xx

4+3....I'm off to read Lesley Reagan again

and DH and I already arguing about names

yay for foxcub4 . they are sooo cute when they clap aren't they?
