June 07...You put your left leg in, left leg out, left leg in and you shake it all about......and hopefully dislodge your clingy toddler ;0)

[LackaDAISYcal]

For norty....and pinguthepenguin if she is lurking

oooh, can't get there without the DCs now until tomorrow.

am really tempted to get one and keep it hidden from DH. I have paypal funds from selling nappies or I can collude with DS and use his savings (DH and I pay into separate accounts for him so he is loaded )

Must get that sorted actually as we could do with saving something for DD and it's a hangover from our days of being not together.

tis a great bargaining tool Daisy Say bye bye to tea-time traumas with an "OK, eat your dinner without complaining and you can have 10 mins on the Wii in your PJs" cue dinner eaten, bath done, pjs on.

Just make sure you buy a kitchen timer when you get it!

Give them a call and see if they've got any in stock. store locator

that is not a good example of exemplary parenting is it?

Right, 60MM over, which means get LO up, school run and swimming. And I've not got snacks ready (too excited over the Xbox deal even though I'm dead against games consoles and the effect they have on my DS2). Trouble is, I just can't resist a bloody bargain, and I know he really wants one, more than the Wii. No, am not going to do it.

and i want to thank you all for the good wishers chloes still sore and am finding it hard getting used to feeding her with tube and shes still in some pain but we home and shes on the mend again thank you all.

Just popped in to say hello. So glad to 'see' you Trace and glad that Trace came though everything so well. I hope she feels better soon. She is such a little fighter, and I really admire how you cope with it all so well. Big un-mumsnetty hugs xx

that should obviously read ... so glad that Chloe came through it all so well

glad you're home Trace. lots of love to Chloe.

Hi Trace ; glad Chloe is home and getting better.....I've got a wee card for her, will text you later

guess where I've just been?

now, how to convince DH it is a shrewd move? Or will I just say I won it in a competition? Ds is warmed to say nothing about it until I can soften DH up before telling him. I was thinking maybe five minutes after delivering Virgil might be a great time

right teatime for everyone.......pizza for them and ready meal for me

aaaarrrgrrghhhhhh DD is emptying my purse....again

later

Hello all

Glad chloe is doing ok trace. Best wishes from us all.

Daisy my DD loves my purse so I gave her an old one with some old cards in it which she really likes. She is currently reading the mini IQ catalogue

I'd better do some tidying really. DH is making curry and home made naan (he is not normally a domestic god!) and today took DD to a toddler group for the first time, and survived!

Jammy, sorry you are feeling shit. Fury and foxy are you any better?

Catch you guys in a bit.

Hi everyone.
Trace, glad Chloe's OK. Been wondering how she is.
Jamlet loves my purse too. It's one of her "special things" that she tries to get her hands on. The house phone, my mobile and the TV remotes being the others.
Despite feeling grotty I have just put chicken breasts in a garlic/honey/mustard/soy sauce marinade prior to cooking later for dinner. DH has to do his aptitude tests for this job tonight, so I thought I'd try to make a nice dinner to cheer him up afterwards. Hope he appreciates it.

Trace, glad chloe is ok. It must be so hard seeing her in pain. Hope the pain passes soon. xxx

I had a productive day (not). I was going to do loads, I had it all planned, but dd was being a nightmare (makes a change from ds). She was so tired and wouldn't have a sleep. SHe was walking round the house crying and shouting and generally being miserable. I finally managed to get them both to sleep in my bed...then I feel asleep too...for 2 hours! I feel shit now!

Welcome back JBM, why was the holiday torture?

Just done a Tesco shop online for the first time in ages and it's all changed. Why do they do that crap cheaper option thing? I'm not stupid, I know that Hellmans mayonnaise is more expensive than Tesco's own, it just doesn't taste like shit! Wankers!

Right, I've got an hour before dp gets home. I really had make it look like I haven't been asleep all day ! Oops!

Toodles x

I've tried DD with another purse I had lying around; she isn't fooled and only wants mine. I think it's the coins she wants!

It's like old mobiles and remotes; she only wants ones that do something.

She is playing DSs guitar at the minute........who knows she may be a future X factor winner

of your sleep holly.

I think it's the having something they're not allowed. My ds has one of my old mobiles, it is a real phone, a nice flip one, but all he wants is my sodding BlackBerry!

I've got bids on some of my nappies on usednappies.co.uk! Hurrah!

I need some fleece pockets, daisy have you seen any going cheap?

Good news with Chloe, Trace

I see your DH came around to the idea of going to groups then Bumper. How is he finding being a full-time SAHD?

Holly, did you make an appointment at the GP's yet? (wags finger)
I am going to keep bothering you til you do, so just get it over with

good evening all.

gosh i feel absoulty awful today, keep running a temp and feeling faint. should i be concerned? given my recent events? is it possible to get an infection even without a d&c? hmm.. i hope its a bug, dont want to be set back any further recovery wise.

well now my children have been little horrors today, wrecking two ppls houses and somerfeild all in one day. arrrggghhhh!

ellen learnt how to do roley poleys today, now she wont stop doing it! bless her.
thomas also did something new today, however i was not impressed at all. he called me a "stupid cow"
well needless to say he spent an hour in his room for that comment, i am truely an evil mother!

Hi Natty. Hope it is just a coldy bug you've got and nothing more serious. And you're not an evil mother. An hour in the room sounds like fair reward for a comment like that IMO.

How good am I? Baby in bed, dishwasher unloaded and now running again, laundry hung up, dinner in oven, nursery bags emptied... Worth it though if DH can concentrate on his tests without worriting about chores.

well done jammy, my house is a total shit hole following a few days of feeling like crap!
i vow to tidy up tomorrow.. honest

I am making a concerted effort to get things done in our house as I know it does help with my depression. But big things can only get done if the day-to-day stuff is kept in check, so I even though I felt like poop I made myself get on and do some of it.

our house is a tiny bit tidier (runs around room madly touching wood), but DS2s new school shoe is missing, so he will have to go to DMs in his spare pair tomorrow and she will ask why and he will say it's lost...

DS1 has lost his glasses at school (2 weeks now, no sign in lost property). Anyone know about replacement on NHS for kids? I know he gets new ones for free if he breaks them but am a bit worried lost might be a different matter.

my ebay saga continues. The buyer asked if I have a problem with my account and has cancelled payment and will send another. Why is it being so complicated.

love your name holly.

good luck to DH jammy. well done to your DH for toddler group bumper - he is a better mummy than me

Trace welcome home to you and Chloe How I admire you and your brave gal. Must be a relief to be back home.

Glad DH got to a baby group Bumper. I won't say well done, no one says well done to me when I go Nah, I'm being harsh. It is harder for a man to go, as they are predominately a womans territory (but men take newspapers to toddler groups!)

I'm with you Jammy, my environment really affects my state of mind and mood. If its a shit-heap, I'm having a bad time, and it brings me down more - its a downward spiral.

Oh screaming baby. Better go, poor mite is really feeling the effects of MMR

Daisy does that mean you got a Wii?

Dh got the maracas game this week for the wii. Sadly it didn't actually come with maracas, so we just shake the wii controllers injstead. Good fun though!
