Elkie - have a good time

Eddas - hope nursery goes well

Spb - Glad that T is getting back to being his old self

re: Cow's milk
When the boys react we have dodgy tummies, runny noses, blocked ears, headaches and tummy aches or any combination of the above.
That's why M and now J are dairy free!!!!

Hello all. Thanks for good wishes yesterday. Work crisis still on but will hopefully be resolved by the end of today. I just get so stressed when I have a big crisis on and the DDs are here because of course I'm on the phone all the time and they have to fend for themselves. This is the real downside of working from home (most of the time it's good).

My grandpa is also dying this week and of course that makes me jump every time the phone rings.

Eddas - how did they get on?!?

Dippy - sorry you are down? Anything specific or just life?

StealthPolarBear · 15/05/2008 14:11

oh bramshott

Theo has just said "Daddy"(looking at photo of both us) . His first word, so where is the justice in that eh eh ??!

Random post !!!

How are all the ladies today???

Work finished for the week now, so jobs catch up time! Feel like when I stop I hit the floor running, there just is NOT enough time in the day .

oooggs · 15/05/2008 15:10

hi all I'm knackered from work - catch you later

Eddas · 15/05/2008 15:45

CD, hope today's been ok and p is alright. thanks for keeping us up to gate with nl, glad she ok but poor little B.

Caz, don't talk to me about getting sick out of things nightmare. I wish for the day when ds stops being sick so i can get a new, sick free, carpet

Sorry to hear about your granpa bramshott.. hope work has been ok

hi to everyone else

well nursery went ok took ds into his room first. He cried when we left i tried to sneak out but he saw

dd on the other hand barely even said goodbye, practically ran up the stairs and straight into the room full of new people like she'd been there for years that's my girl. She was apparently fine until some mums turned up for collecting dc and then she got teary. But she's used to all the mums coming at the same time so presumably thought i wasn't coming back. I forgot that would happen so hadn't explained. She was fine once I got back and i think she'll be ok tomorrow now she knows children come and go and various times.

When I went to get ds from his room he was fast asleep with the rest of them. they all looked so cute tucked up on their little mats. poor little thing had to be woken but seemed happy to see me. He was fine after he stopped crying and ate his diner.

So all in all went pretty well. I fully expect ds to cry for the next few months when i drop him off but he will eventually know the routine.

StealthPolarBear · 15/05/2008 15:49

Glad it went well Eddas

thanks spb

dc are in bed, all quiet atm, but a bit too soon to be counting any chickens

oooggs · 15/05/2008 19:43

hi eddas - they are shattered from nursery

katy - how's T?

dts both bitten at nursery today Erin twice but onlt one left a mark on her hand, a circluar mouth print. Jack has a mouth print on his back all the same child (who they won't don't name) I am furious . They are going to hate it soon if that keeps happening

back in a mo Jack squeaking

Eddas · 15/05/2008 19:55

oh no oooggs i bet the biters mum is so embarrassed. my dd got bitten by one little boy and his mum was so upset, she kept on apologising. Our preschool don't name names either but at their age they confess/rat out The biters mum hadn't even been told before her ds said what he'd done hope dt's are ok

oooggs · 15/05/2008 20:03

I stand correct it was Erin

they are fine - I am gutted

StealthPolarBear · 15/05/2008 20:07

oooggs, I know biting is normal but it sounds like this dc went on a bit of a rampage! How did he/she manage to bite 3 times (at least) before being noticed? Or I suppose it must have been over the course of the day.
T seems much better thanks. had a stress this morning as needed to get my car in for 11, need to set of at 10.40 at the latest. 10.39, just about ready to set off, T stinky. Dash up to change the nappy and he wees everywhere So we were late! Point of the story is his stinky nappies are back to normal which makes up for all the rest. He's even eating a reasonable amount now - wonders will never cease!
Where is everyone, obviously NL and elkie are accounted for, CD, Bramshott, Pillock and caz on earlier but where is Pisha? SOL?
