Here we go. I was too sick, sleepy and preoccupied with my weight to notice the old thread running out

Hi Fury. You seem to be in and out today. Unfortunately I've got to go - dinner to cook and the jamlet is screaming... Will you be about later?

BumperliciousNeedsToSleep · 20/05/2008 20:01

Hi all

Hi fury, how's it going? Been busy? Hope your house is lurgy free for a change.

I'm just popping in quickly mid fight with DH as DD kept biting me this evening and I was getting pretty pissed. His helpful response was to tell me not to be mad at the baby, she doesn't know, she doesn't understand it if I tell her off. Well, why doesn't he have her chomp down on his nipples and see how restrained he can be? I got mad at his lack of sympathy and he got mad coz it's "always all about me". So we are currently Not Talking.

I have a fecking mountain of ironing to do, which as a rule I generally don't both with but I've just hoicked all my summer stuff out from one of those vacuum bags.

I'm going to my dad's for a few days this weekend (sorry you can't meet up daisy ). it's a four hour drive just me and DD! The good news is she has slept in her travel cot for the past few nights and not woken up, so shuldn't be the broken sleep I've feared.

Sorry haven't really caught up with anyone else. JBM I wouldn't worry about how often you are feeding. DD still feeds about 4 or 5 times a day, though not at night. I would think you could try and cut that one now, but only if it bothers you.

Hope you are all ok. Ria, hope DH is ok.

Hello!

Yes we are mainly lurgy-free. We did have a DS crisis last week and I ended up taking the day off to look after him.

I had a bit of a flounce. Felt a bit jaded with it all. Now I have calmed down I am back

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 20/05/2008 20:14

Good to see you back Fury.

Bumper, sorry to hear you're Not Talking. Hope things smooth over soon. And good luck with the ironing - have fun Hope you have a nice time at your Dad's. It's a 4 hour plus drive to my parents and I was dreading it the first time I did it with just me & the jamlet, but it was OK. Hope it goes as well for you.

HellHathNoFury · 20/05/2008 20:17

Good luck with the drive Jammy although I am sure you'll be fine.

Also - Bumper, sorry to hear about you and DH. This parenting lark can be hard enough without parental disagreements!

Sputnik · 20/05/2008 20:21

Nice to have you back Fury

Hope things calm down a bit Bumper

I'm not driving anywhere Fury. Bumper is though

HellHathNoFury · 20/05/2008 20:35

good lord I should piss off again and start over
whoops!

foxythesnowfox · 20/05/2008 20:36

Flounced? No good flouncing if noone knows you've flounced missus! I would have expected something of a spectacular exit if you were to flounce Fury . Am very pleased to have you back here, although you were such a tease today!

Ahh, Bumper. Sounds like things are normal chez Bumper then (normal as in normal for everyone, not the norm just in your house... oh heck ... digs hole deeper for the other foot ... you know what I mean!)

Evening all!

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 20/05/2008 20:42

Hi Foxy. How are you?

HellHathNoFury · 20/05/2008 20:54

I flounced in the slinking away kind of way

foxythesnowfox · 20/05/2008 20:59

Disappointing flouncing tut tut

Hi Jammy, I'm very well thanks! you?

Anyone watch How to Look Good Naked? Bloody marvellous.

HollyPutTheKettleOn · 20/05/2008 21:04

Evening all!!

Hey fury, haven't spoken to you in about 13388485 years! Hope you and yours are well.

I have been busy today, I have made dd a Peppa Pig cake (see pic on profile) and am quite proud of my Nigellaishness (although I'm sure Nigella's little dahhhhrlings don't have Peppa Pig cakes)!

I didn't watch HTLGN foxy, I was putting the finishing touches to the cake . I do, however, love Gok and want to be Gokked. I want him to tell me I have great "bangers" and that I'm not as fat as I think I am!!

HellHathNoFury · 20/05/2008 21:04

well I am off to bed. Night all.

HellHathNoFury · 20/05/2008 21:07

hey Holly

Yeah I'm good. You? How's the not-so-little man? From memory he was walking.

DS has started running now, but only for about 5-6 steps, then he face plants at a much higher velocity and thus does more damage.

HollyPutTheKettleOn · 20/05/2008 21:07

Oh, hi and bye fury! Sleep well x

HellHathNoFury · 20/05/2008 21:08

Are there any meet ups planned? we should do one. Seems a bit overdue!

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 20/05/2008 21:08

Hi/Bye Holly. Well done on the cake. Mmm, not sure if I can do fancy character cakes? But I do make a bloody good chocolate and banana cake with run & cream icing! Even if I do say it myself

foxythesnowfox · 20/05/2008 21:08

off to bed Fury? Or flouncing? So hard to tell these days N'night.

For all my taking the piss, its good to see you back.

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 20/05/2008 21:09

Damn! I'm at it now with the wrong names

foxythesnowfox · 20/05/2008 21:10

August Fury. Daisy's coming to town. Perhaps staying at Andiems? So we could have a big meet up in Richmond or Kew or somewhere. Was going to FB you about it.

HollyPutTheKettleOn · 20/05/2008 21:10

Sorry, x post! Yeah he is walking, he won't crawl at all anymore! Well done to little S, I suppose we have toddlers now!

HellHathNoFury · 20/05/2008 21:10

August sounds good. Ok am definately off now!
Take care all.

Izzybel · 20/05/2008 21:11

Hello

I am fecking knackered! I've cleaned the house from top to bottom today, made tea, washed up, bathed DD and took the dog out and now I'm ready to collapse!

Bumper, sorry you and DP aren't talking. Bet that bloody hurt and he should be sympathetic!
Fury, lovely to see you back
Fairy, well done on getting tip of the day. that you don't win anything though, boo!

Re: feeding DD will not let me feed her anymore but she can't quite use a spoon, she just does it with her fingers. Norty, she does exactly what your DD does if I try to feed her!

Sputnik · 20/05/2008 21:12

Hey Holly, are you still reading A Short History of Nearly Everything?

You have great bangers by the way.
(I wish I could see this Gok thing sometime, sounds good)
