You're coming to Knebworth and haven't asked me to join you?! You bringing anyone else?

Haven't actually started potty training yet Jas. Was just a dd driven one off evening this week. Was going to wait until summer but we'll see how she goes in the mean time.

Day got much better thanks. MrMarvel party (was joint 1 yo and 4 yo) was good cause dd ate at it and danced and stroked a rabbit, and 40th party was good cause older children looked after dd and she mostly played on the bouncy castle (friends have their own one which fills their entire garden bar patio!).

Despite all that and an hour swimmimg, she still only slept 8:45-6:45!

CantSleepWontSleep · 05/05/2008 20:25

Yawn. Tired after a day in the sun in Knebworth, but loads of TV to watch before bed.

Will go find camera in a minute and put pic of mrm's tattoo on my profile.

erm we have started ..... this weekend
So far- 18 wees in the loo, 1 poo in the loo. One major accident (beeeg puddle- in kitchen thank goodness) 1 minor (in the garden ), 2 'drips'.

Only problem is - REFUSES to sit on potty, so I have to dash upstairs every time she needs to go [grrr]. Plus she won't let DH do it, only mama. [seethe] She does seem to be able to hold it while we go upstairs though, though I am carrying her, not her climbing (yeah, I don't think she could wait the 15 minutes )

Anyway, we're pretty pleased with how its gone so far. Tomorrow (nursery) will be interesting though- will put her in a pull-up to actually travel there I think, as its too far for her to hold it really.
Also, I put a nappy on for her nap (2-3.30) and she won't go without after- so its just mornings really IYSWIM.
She was ready to start though- keeps asking for no nappies previously.

Needless to say, we haven't been anywhere this BH! (Well, Nana's house, but that is only 5 mins away and has a choice of 2 bathrooms, so was very popular)

EachPeachPearMum · 05/05/2008 20:53

Um- mrm- that lady doesn't look very happy (maybe resolution?)- is it the being naked, or the leaves she doesn't like?

CantSleepWontSleep · 05/05/2008 21:11

Apparently it's a look of ecstasy as the vine leaves have tickled her fancy .

Well done on the potty training!

mustrunmore · 06/05/2008 09:06

She is happy. Very very happy. You have to look closely, as her hair is over her face a little. I was going to have her face completely covered by her hair, but thought that might be a bot too eerie looking!

Saw the other pics csws; dd is such a tart

EachPeachPearMum · 06/05/2008 12:53

Its too small to see!

Yeah- hair completely over would be a bit too 'ringu' tbh

EachPeachPearMum · 06/05/2008 20:29

Yay! csws- thank you!
mrm- csws emailed me a higher resolution pic- now much easier to see
I can't believe how much detail is in it! What size is it irl?
Also, I know you said it didn't hurt, but what is your pain threshold? I can't believe its not still red/sore- doesn't look like it was done this week- very impressive. Or is this before redness?

mustrunmore · 06/05/2008 22:05

I'd like to se thw beter pic too csws!! Don forget I've got no working camera!

Thanks EPPM. Glad you like it better now! Er, its about,dunno, 4 or 5 inches high? Is it csws? Truely did not hurt, neither in itself or compared to the ones on my feet. I have a very low pain threshold unless its for pain I want, IYSWIM.

BTW, forgot to say goodbye to you csws, as ds2 kind of wandered off!

Stop press......weighed myself today.... have lost 2lbs since last checked, which think was 2 weeksish ago ..... So now have 1 stone 12lbs to go.

EachPeachPearMum · 06/05/2008 22:19

I always thought ankle/feet ones were the most painful though, due to all the nerve endings?
(disclaimer...I may have imagined this! I'm sure I read something years ago about henry rollins, and he said it was the ones on his calves that hurt most...)

mustrunmore · 06/05/2008 22:21

Well, ankle bone was intereseting, but tendons on tops of feet were seriously breathtaking! (are you really here??!! No noe ever is these days!)

EachPeachPearMum · 06/05/2008 22:47

I am here (meaning mn?)
Dunno where everyone else is though!

mustrunmore · 06/05/2008 22:49

They've all left us Flame is burnt so prob screaming as the bedsheets touch her. The csws's will be bickering

Phoenix · 06/05/2008 22:51

I'm lurking

mustrunmore · 06/05/2008 22:53

Because you're too scared to comment on my tattoo?

Phoenix · 06/05/2008 22:58

Yeah that's it .

How is everyone?

mustrunmore · 06/05/2008 23:00

My head is still all over the place. But am very happy about tattoo and weight loss. Not so happy about bad bad runnnig performance. Ds1 is happy about seeing cswsdd at Knebworth

EachPeachPearMum · 06/05/2008 23:05

Flame has sunburn? eek- horrible!
Why're you lurking Phoenix?

Phoenix · 06/05/2008 23:23

Well done on weight loss mrm (not that you need to lose any). The photos of your boys with csws dd are cute

Lurking?? Don't know really, nothing to post, my life is boring!

Ds hasn't been sleeping well for a few nights. Its so warm in his room now. It's the attic room and was 24 degrees when he went to bed tonight. He's got a cold too so its a combination of that and warmness i think. Medised isn't working for him either poor baby.

Frizbe · 07/05/2008 00:00

for poorly ds Phoenix, can you open a velux a bit for some air for him? (mind you you can never tell if it'll rain in the night I supposed....)
Hope he's better tomorrow for you.

MRM lovley Tattoo, hope you guys had a good day out, when I 1st read Knebworth I instantly thought you were going to a gig

EPPM congrats on the potty training I put a cut in half pampers bed mat on the car seat for journeys under an hour, as dd2 seems to be able to yell for the loo, unless she falls asleep but I think this is cause she's bottom of the pile, dd1 wasn't trained this early.
(hell she's still doing nights now, dd2 is dryer than her, I think Jas had the same thing with her Girls too )

Jas, hope your feeling ok out there? {{{Hugs}}}

Flame, your quiet? you ok?

mustrunmore · 07/05/2008 07:03

I suspect Flame is very not ok She was ok enough to text and help me out with something, but she's very sporadic. Am hoping its actually just lack of credit or too much RL.

Friz, I need to ask you something really really important. Obv you can ignore, or repond by email if better. Can I ask how much you weigh? For comparative purposes.Because you reckon you're a 14 too, so prob the closest person I'm within reach of equalling if I pull all the stops out, if that makes sense! I'd ask for a underwear only photo, but yo mifght think I was a stalker
How's MrFriz's bits feeling?

Flame · 07/05/2008 07:53

I'm sorry, I'm lurky rather than posty.

Sunburn going brown but hurting a little

Forgot to reply to your last text MRM - wandered off to find diary and forgot you, now I have diary with me but no phone to see the dates I know 31st is out - hen night.

Nothing is wrong here, just a bit I guess

damewashalot · 07/05/2008 09:24

I'm a bit lurky too just dull I'm afraid, mostly being pg and tired. DH took some pics of my bump in the garden last night, might pop back and link later if anyone wants to see how much I've grown.

Sending hugs to those who need them, mostly jas and flame I think but anyone else that feels the need.

Phoenix · 07/05/2008 10:15

Yes Friz we have his velux open all day but it doesn't make that much difference. The temp only dropped to 21 over night. He's in shorty pj's and just a sheet at night.

Jas · 07/05/2008 10:59

Please stop being nice to me.
