Morning all, and a very Happy Birthday to Leo!!

SPB/Maveta, sorry you are still having ongoing sleep issues. And you are not bad mums in the slightest. They obviously love you so much they can't bear to be parted from you!!

Hi Dooby, lovely to see you. Hope you get a better night tonight.

Eddas, good luck at the docs.

Hi everyone else I have crappily not mentioned.

Well K woke up at 3, baking hot poor love, so we have been to the docs and she has a mild ear infection. Have got amoxycillin (sp?) I think lots of the babes have had this. How have the nappies been???? Sorry, poo obsession slipping in again

So, ran in to work to get stuff and now hoping K will have a nice big nap so I can do it!!

Better go. xx

StealthPolarBear · 25/03/2008 12:35

oi sol i have the poo obsessive crown!
hope K gets better v soon with the abs

StealthPolarBear · 25/03/2008 12:37

Eddas, meant to reply to your post earlier but forgot
I have been planning to edit the list myself for a while just never got round to it - it never even occurred to me that it would offend anyone. Just makes it much easier to scan. Anyway, sorry to keep going on, just wanted you to know that.

Eddas · 25/03/2008 13:30

thanks spb

SOL ds has had that and from memory the nappies were fine

Well trip to the doc proved he has conjunctivitis(there's a suprise!) she gave prescription for the drops but said not to give them unless it gets worse as it will go on its own by me doing what i've been doing and wiping the goo away She wasn't bothered about the reflux either. Siad as long as he's fine with it and developing, doing all the things he 'should' be doing then giving him any drugs is not necessary as you don't want to give drugs unles you have to. Which I agree with. It's people keep going on about it that makes me doubt my instincts I know he's fine and will stop it. Wish he'd stopped by now but hey ho he's only tiny. Pity he stinks of sick most of the time but he's cute so gets away with it

Well i'm at work so should get on really

Kneehighinnappies · 25/03/2008 15:35

Hello All, just thought I'd pop in and say a quick HELLLLLOO!
I can't beleive it is the Dt's b-day on Thursday, I forgot about it all together Needless to say with new work commitments and still not living at our house, plus my parents are on holiday for 6 weeks we are not having a party (just yet) for them.
I should go get them a present at some pointor at leat a card.........Well I've got till thursday so there is no rush, lol.

i hope those of you who have already had your first birthday celebrations have had a lovely time, and so does everyone else.

Happy Birthday Leo! Wow! Feel like crying as I can't beleive a year has passed since I was soooooo about WCL giving birth so early! Feels like I have blinked and missed a whole year.

Really pissed as an old farty here (doesn't take much). Am really floaty happy I love everyone pissed ATM. Lovely. So love you all . No idea what's going on at all on here but love you all anyway.

Better get some food down me I guess to soak this up. Did I say I love you all?

just about to get kicked off pc again as dh has college work to do for tomorrow

Sexonlegs · 25/03/2008 19:43

Evening folks.

Hi KneeHigh.

IDOC, when did you start drinking then???

Eddas, hope poor ds is ok.

POTC, lovely looking photo's.

How's everyone else bearing up?

All ok here. K seems a bit brighter thank God. She slept for 2 hours this afternoon - I had to wake her up to do the school run, and she was baking hot poor love.

Dosed her on nurofen and the ab's and hoping for a better night.

how do you find out bits like that ellie?

PillockOfTheCommunity · 25/03/2008 19:58

because I'm sad and lonely and spend hours reading random threads in the evenings

PillockOfTheCommunity · 25/03/2008 19:58

oh, and TECH has retired to New York

NikitaTech and YetMoreTech have replaced him

OP posts:
Eddas · 25/03/2008 20:14

I had to read KHIN's post a few times to work out what was wrong

SOL, glad K is a bit better, hope the antib's kick in asap for her

Meant to say earlier, but SPB your night sounded terrible I hope tonight is/was better

Nice to see you POTC, sofa boy eh nudge so that's why you've been awol

Am trying to think up a bit to write on our catchup thread I think i'm thinking about it too much IYSWIM

Roll on next monday when I can log into the website to find out where dd has been offered a place at school. Getting impatient now

PillockOfTheCommunity · 25/03/2008 20:15

I don't really know what's happening with Sofa Boy tbh. I do like him, but I also don't feel like I want a relationship with him, and I still want to shag his housemate

Eddas · 25/03/2008 20:19

missed off my post re the doctors that we had to wait about ten mins to see her and ds took this as his chance to show off his waving skills by waving to everyone in the waiting room then when they waved back clapped and grinned

PillockOfTheCommunity · 25/03/2008 20:20

I am a walking disaster (well obviously I'm sitting right now but you get what I mean )

And I am an annoying Pedant, sorry KHIN, ignore me, or slap me, whichever you prefer
