Afternoon all.

GMM, thank so much for the links. The Argos set looks good esp the price

Oooggs, so pleased the dt's had a good time at nursery.

SPB, sorry about no napping. I had to resort to going out in the car. K used to be fab at naps. I put her down at 12.40 and she was still awake and whinging at 1.20!

Went out and car started to smell of burning. Thankfully dh was home, so I ran it down to the garage, while he went and picked up B from school. They can't find anything wrong and think tho .

hi all

lots of ups and downs today tbh

as I said work meeting was ok - and I do now feel a bit better about the whole situation. Better than this morning. The knot of anxiety n my tummy has gone - after B and I had a sleep together this afternoon. I was so tired! She throws her arms around quite a bit in her sleep so it wasn't exactly peaceful but it's lovely to cuddle up!

The man came about our gas fire - I had detected a slight smell of gas (nobody panic) Fire is very old and a valve was going so fire was condemned. Not a problem from our point of view as I can move an electric fire in here if we're cold - but of course I had to let the buyers know. Worst case was we'd have to buy a fire and pay to have it fitted then leave it behind if we're able to move. But - the buyer plans to rip it all out anyway and said he was quite happy for us to leave it as is - capped off. Hurrah!

Then I had a call from someone at work - there is another possible job going - so we had a talk about that - it's potentially interesting and I saw a fab job in the paper - which I'm not sure I'm expereinced enough for but I've sent for the pack anyway. I also rang B's nursery and fixed up her settling in sessions - the manager is so lovely and I'm feeling ok about that too.

All in all - a good day - hope everyone else is ok?

POTC - is there any more news on your housing situation?

Hello

Haven't caught up yet but am just reporting back after getting Izzy weighed today...

She now weighs 17lbs 6oz. Still quite small but now between 9th and 2nd centile instead of under the 2nd She has put on 1lb 6 oz in 5 weeks. I'm so relieved that she has put on weight at last

NorthernLurker · 02/04/2008 17:01

That's brilliant news Ange - look at your baby climbing those pesky centiles!

StealthPolarBear · 02/04/2008 17:17

so tired and energyless

cazboldy · 02/04/2008 17:22

that's good Ange I will get Molly weighed next thursday

NL, does sound like good news all round (for a change!)

SPB re your comment on the FF/bf thread.....I am not sure my mum did have the best of intentions, and at the time it was horrible but it was ok in the end (I ony replied to you on here instead of on there as I can't be bothered to read through all the other posts! )

Have been to my brother's farm this afternoon so James could lead one of his cows in preparation for the Norfolk Show, now off to do the horses for the night. back later

Ellie should be coming tomorrow! Pesha/Ange/Dippy she isn't really a mad woman is she?????

StealthPolarBear · 02/04/2008 17:40

No caz I felt I had to say that to be polite but it didn't come across that way

Sexonlegs · 02/04/2008 18:04

Ange, what good news re the weight gain. You must be realy pleased.

NL, good news for you too by the sounds of it.

SPB, really hope you feel better tomorrow. How is T?

MJ, how is F. You said she was a bit poorly.

All good here. The sun is shining and I am baking biscuits (from a packet!!)

StealthPolarBear · 02/04/2008 19:02

ok freaky
one of t's toys has just played a tune really loudly
none of them play that tune
we didn't touch anything
still don't know what it was
actually thought our doorbell had set itself to annoying tune instead of ding dong

StealthPolarBear · 02/04/2008 19:03

someone tell me what it was we're being haunted by noisy toys
was so loud too!
