May 2007 - They are off and running, wobbling and falling down again.

[JamInMyWellies]

New thread needed.

Doubful. Alas, the sight of my naked body is no longer a sight to behold. More like a sight to puke on.

Anyway, after reading that fascinating John Leslie thread, ahem, when are we coming to stay at yours SOH?

PJ it was the Tomy/ Lindam ones I was on about - I think ev1 else has said tey are netting so she cant fall out - good idea from TYG about the futon/ mattress on the floor in her room

DP home about 3ish - will I be able to keep shtum I really need to but wondering if he keeps on I might just end up going - oh bloody hell shut up you dont know what its like Im bloody pregnant booo hooo!! will have the camera ready for pic of his whole face hitting the floor

Did the GP give you an idea of how long it would be before the midwife contacts you Lups?

Not a bother on A. I only picked her up at 12 because I was too uptight to leave her til the session end at 1. She was happily playing. Minder said she got a bit upset a little earlier but was happy to sit on her knee and be comforted. She hardly even lets me do that! Minder said that the fact she has an Irish accent might be part of it. A didn't want the (English) childcare assistant to mind her. She made a little effort of crying when I arrived, but I think it was just relief and also a bit of "How dare you leave me?". I have Wednesday mornings to myself now for ooh, 4 weeks.

Whenever you like my lovely. Our tv is programmed not to show cricket though so dh might want to stay away. Ask lg&t when she's coming and synchronise. Menfolk can babysit and we'll go out on the boat.

lookie

That's brilliant TYG - L cried when I picked her up from nursery the first few times. No (most of the time, sometimes she just smiles and goes back to whatever she was doing), she is beside herself with excitement when she sees me. And there's something really lovely about watching her enjoying herself for a few minutes before she notices me and shouts 'hiya!'.

You MUST have some pamper time on a Wednesday morning, no ironing and the like.

SOH - will text the lovely LG&T. Where do you live again? Norfolk? I got a speeding ticket there once.

Lord she's keen. Is she sending you any?

Anyone heard from Scoot? And while we're on the subject, whatever happened to Juicy?

Speeding? Norfolk? Ce n'est pas possible

Good news with A TYG. Oisin's beautiful btw.

Thats good TYG - C loves his CM but unfortunately I can't afford for him to be there when I am on mat leave. I will still be paying 1/4 fees retainer though! He is supposed to finish this Friday but is going for another couple of Fridays so I can do some jobs.

Two disturbed nights with bottles now - very unusual - teeting and a cold I think.

PJ - no advice on the sleep thing as haven't tackled it properly yet. C seems to go to sleep on his bottle more often than not or just plays until he looks tired (9.30/10.00 ish) and I put him in his cot - cue a few tears and he gives in. I would just like this to be a little earlier!

Hello everyone else. He is in bed now and I can't decide - rest or ironing?

Iron!

I have the shakes. I need gingerbread. Bad MN, I've been doing so well.

Ironing? I have staff for that, Dear.

Unfortunately the staff member doesn't do sorting, tidying, or child rearing.

I sent a HUGE pile out to my ironing lady last night but have just took one load off the line.

According to my mother if I do it now it will not build up AGAIN!

Excellent TYG, hope you enjoy those mornings.

I sent mine out as well, was delivered all freshly pressed last night. At bloody ten o'clock! I nearly jumped out my skin when the doorbell rang.

I've always wondered SOH, when you say gingerbread, do you mean like a cake, or like a gingerbread man?

DP did all our ironing last night - I knew there must be a reason why I'm marrying him

Can anyone tell me how I can get an ironing lady?

Bloody nursery (although not really their fault...). I just rang them to see how L was as she was miserable as sin this morning. They said, 'oh we've had to give her some calpol because she was crying out in pain with her teeth, her temp was fine, but she was a bit clammy'. They then said that she'd eaten all her lunch, had a sleep and was now playing happily.

But the care-giver also said, 'I just wanted to take the pain away'. Poor L. Am leaving work asap.

She must need mummy. I have noticed though that sometimes her teeth start to hurt her when I ask her not to do something, like climb on the coffee table.

Bless her PJ.

I have made a mental note to myself not to leave C downstairs while I go upstairs and change. I came down to find him standing on the coffee table banging hell out of a pot angel belonging to DD2 against a glass candlestick!

Yeh! I have done the ironing. Just going to have 5 mins sit down before the school run.

I don't iron at all. I'm a slattern. I do if I'm going somewhere posh I suppose. Few creases never hurt a good hippy.

PJ by gingerbread I mean...er... both! I also mean ginger cake, gingerbread men, ginger bread, ginger loaf, ginger tea, ginger biscuits, crystallized ginger, grated ginger, ginger spice, ginger sweets etc. Usually though, it's a gingerbread man I'm scoffing, left arm first.

SOH we have just started selling a new ginger drink in the pub, funnily enough its not flying off the shelves

PJ no no idea about midwife, altho he did hint sooner rater than later as I havent got a clue of my lmp - wish i had written it down I used to be quite anal about such things - now i have no idea where i'm at - am thinking poss 6 wks but dont know really its a wild guess

TYG good news on the nursery front - now that time is to put your feet up not any more mad nesting sessions

PJ she will be fine at nursery its only teething te calpol will sort it!

I have a headache 1hr 15mins until i can have next pills grrrr!

Ironing, I have a Mum for that. She does it ALL!! tehe

J can not walk still, she is however a monkey, the make shift playpen of pushing the sofa's together no longer cuts it as she climbs onto the sofa, over the arm and slides off the other side. The TV on the wall is a bad idea as she will climb onto the table below and swing the TV from side to side. The stairs are great fun, no chance of a stair gate on our old fashioned wooden staircase, she is up like a shot and down just as fast. Aghhhhhh Why won't she walk? scaredy cat!!!

Off to the UK tomorow until Tuesday. ON MY OWN!!!!!! Hen weekend, 8 girlies in a challet at centre parcs, yay!! I'm a little excited.

Still not smoking, hardly thinking about it now!! Can't anyway, I'm too fat to get out the door for one.

Will catch up when I get home but love to all.

heard the whoosh whoosh all good jaysus am defo having a baby.

mrs JB have added you although I warn you my MSN is notorious for letting me get halfway through a convo and then chucking all my messages back saying unable to send, grrr think its my vv old laptop.

DH has to have shirts ironed for work. Unfortunately finances do not stretch to new shirts every day. Actually, I have to start doing his shirts myself. The cleaner rushes through them, (presumably because she has an entire week's ironing to get through) and he said he was "embarrassed" by his shirt the other day. After she's been here nearly 6 months, I am too "embarrassed" to have to show her how he wants them ironed (sleeves ironed all round so no crease from shoulder to cuff and so on), that I said I'd do them myself. Oooh the things I do for that man.

Just got a price from the builder for doing a small job to turn spare room into A's new room. DH has agreed. Woop. We may get A moved in before O's arrival yet, provided of course, that this small job does not turn into the same sort of epic as the downstairs bog.
