Bless your dd daisy! I can't believe she has had a proper hair cut already, my dd hasn't even been to the hairdresser's yet, my mum just trims it every now and then for me! As for ds, he hasn't got two hairs to rub together!

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 25/06/2008 21:44

Not enough hair on the jamlet to cut.

SeansGirl - thanks for the sponsorship!

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 25/06/2008 21:46

Oh and it ended up that I did buy something from Virgin Vie - some bronze mascara So thanks for that tip Holly

lackaDAISYcal · 25/06/2008 21:46

It's actually her second cut holly. I did it myself at Christmas but made a bit of a mess so thought I'd better get it done right this time. she was sooo good as well and was laughing when he was blowing the hair off her face. DS has got a mullet.....his choice , he wanted it shortish on top but didn't want to lose his curls at the back....it doesn't look too bad I suppose.

Is norty around tonight? I wonder how her DD is?

JAmmy, is your DD back to normal?

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 25/06/2008 21:50

Seems to be Daisy. She's still got a sore throat and seems to have teething troubles still, bless her, but she's BF morning and night again. This week being a full week at nursery might actually help me cut down to just morning & night feeds which is what i wanted to do as she's having cows milk in the day. And last nigth she slept through and even slept very late for her, until 7am. I dropped her at nursery this morning which was rare and it was lovely to see her getting so excited as we went in the door - she was obviously really happy to be there despite not feeling at her best.

NattyEcoWarriorPrincess · 25/06/2008 21:57

ellen had her first proper cut last week.. i took about 2 inches off it, and its a short bob like mine now lol
scary to think they are so grown up now

NattyEcoWarriorPrincess · 25/06/2008 21:58

aww jammy thats good to hear

Izzybel · 25/06/2008 22:00

Hi everyone
Jammy, glad to see your DD is feeding again . Hope her throat gets better though, and her teeth.
Daisy, wow I can't believe your DD has had two haircuts already! DD has quite a good head of hair but for a while she had a really bad bald patch at the back. It has grown back now, but it is shorter than the rest of the hair, so it looks like she has a really dodgy Posh Spice bob! Hope your finger is ok.
Hi Natty and Holly

NattyEcoWarriorPrincess · 25/06/2008 22:00

cheers for tip just got a hippie necklace!

lackaDAISYcal · 25/06/2008 22:03

that's what I noticed about DD natty.....she suddenly looks like a toddler, not a baby.

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 25/06/2008 22:06

An old bloke on a bike stopped to talk to us at the bus stop tonight and kept calling the jamlet a boy . I admit I didn't correct him, largely because I wanted him to go away, but FFS she was wearing a white skirt and a top with pink flowers all over it! But I know people just see her short hair and think "boy"

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 25/06/2008 22:14

OK, bed for me. I've got to do an early nursery run tomorrow so that I'm back for 8.10 to get the bus to work.

lackaDAISYcal · 25/06/2008 22:18

jammy your tooing and froing sounds exhausting.

and don't worry about old blokes..there's a chp I pass twice a week and have done since DD was born, who peers in at her, says "baby?" and then "girl?" every farking time. Next time I'm going to say "no, meercat"

Seansgirlthesequel · 25/06/2008 22:34

SNAP! Holly - thats the one I wanted too but needed a 20

Hi Natty, Izzy, Jammy, Daisy ....

You're welcome BTW Jammy and glad to hear DD is feeding again!

Yes, I used indulge in a glass of wine a week but am trying not to drink as much as I have been

Seansgirlthesequel · 25/06/2008 22:39

Right, Im off to bed too having been ytawling tinternet for a nice not boring longer length swimsuit in size 20!

But must get some sleep DD has her first school sports day tomorrow am hoping for oh and had another at parents evening this week, getting on fine, socialising,etc etc, her drawing is exceptional for age, so detailed and original they said!! (takes after me!!

Night all xx

DKMA · 25/06/2008 22:39

Hey Holly - Thanks for the free mascara
Getting an early night tonight - Dh is away (since yesterday and not back till late tomorrow) and have had to be in Liverpool early every morning. Doing the whole getting ready for work and gettin lo ready for nusery and being out of the house on way to nursery on my own before 8 is a killer!!!
Managed to get in the gym for an hour early this afternoon though before picking lo up - but now have very sore legs after running like forest gump on the treadmill for 40 mins!
Will catch up tomorrow
Hope everyone is ok?
xx

Seansgirlthesequel · 25/06/2008 22:40

eh? how did mr get there? must of popped down from my no luck swimsuit comment.

justRia · 25/06/2008 22:57

Hi and bye all.

thanks for the free shopping holly, just what I needed. ordered some nailvarnish. quite fancied the belle de jour neckalce and earrings, but would have preferred another colour... or the hippy one, but nailvarnish was completely free and I need some

lol @ meercat daisy.

I have given up on housework for tomight, but it is unlikely (I hope) that Dsis will visit us tomorrow, and DM should be too busy being hospitable (and thinking "how did I produce such fat daughters from 3 prem babies and why do they all have a drink problem") to question me on my domestic achievements and find fault

justRia · 25/06/2008 22:59

BTW I now have dark brown James May hair. hopefully it will be lovely and shiny and look better than it did on Sunday when I'm sure it was identical to his

DH is doing the moaning and sighing thing again. Do some fecking tidying then, you live here too[grr]

LittleMissNorty · 26/06/2008 09:21

Morning

DD is a bit brighter this morning....but still feels a bit worm so have started her on the ABs....the oral thrush is clearing up as well....but her eating is still a bit all over the place....funny though, she can still manage a jaffa cake

Had a completely shit day yesterday as all she wanted was cuddles and sleep so I spent half the day pinned to the sofa watching cbeebies and the other half being trailed by a crying snotty nosed child...I am not a nurse by nature and was very glad when DH came home.

She had me up at 4.45am playing in her cot and giggled and shouted at me when I went in and stood up with her arms out...eeerrrrmm, I don't think so....she was very good though, boredom must have sent her back to sleep till I woke her up at 7.30am....and now she's back up there for a nap...alright for some!

Hope everyone is well...sun is shining here!

LittleMissNorty · 26/06/2008 09:21

Ria - have a fab time with your sister....

LittleMissNorty · 26/06/2008 09:21

warm not worm....obviously!

lackaDAISYcal · 26/06/2008 10:49

just back from the docs...i have to have an ECG because of the silly palpitations I've been having. Also got to have ore bloods done and a thyroid function test.
Feel like shit this monrning; tired, out of breath, listless and very very weepy .

and the house is a bombsite and i need to tidy and pack for going away this weekend (not to mention washing it all first)...aaaaarrrrgh. We need to be off by 10 at the latest in the morning..it is sooo not going to happen.

holly, if there is an email tomorrow or Monday from jessica about the twin buggies and I'm on the list, will you text and let me know? . I'm not back till late on Monday.

DD keeps grating her teeth together...horrible horrible noise and she looks like a troll when she does it.

Have a good meet up with your sister Ria.

Glad DD is feeling better this morning Norty. Mine does that 4:30 want to play thing sometimes, and she is never happy when we just lie her back down in bed.

FrazzledFairyFay · 26/06/2008 11:37

Daisy, I hope they can do something to make you feel better - it sounds like you are having a miserable time. I hope your trip gives you a bit of tme to relax - could you maybe escape for an hour or so and treat yourself to a massage/pedicure/coffee and magazine?
