June 07 - you really would think we would have better things to do than chat on here all day...

[RiallyEeRiaee]

New thread.

this is the only link I could find Holly.

we seem to have escaped the worst of it re the time change as DD slept until what is now 6:45. Again her pamjams were soaked through. Not sure why this has happened two nights in a row, other than she is looking pretty skinny since she has been poorly.

She is being very cute this morning and making sure things get put back where they belong and that I tidy up after myself, shutting cupboard doors, putting things in the bin and back on shelves. I suspect DH may have been secretly training her up

horrible horrible day again here today but hopefully the rain will clear as we need to go out. to save my sanity from a grumpy girl at the very least. So it'll be wellies and waterproof suit on for her so she can splash in puddles.

and watching the weather forecast......snow for the NE of SCotland

Morning, 6.30 here today, which isn't too bad when it feels like 7.30. 6.30 tomorrow is going to feel like shit!

I noticed on the other thread daisy that you said DD is a bit of a picky eater, DD is too, sounds like you need some fattening recipes ideas too, for DD I mean !

I was picking up a few hints bumper

Me, on the other hand; no fattening up required

since she has been poorly she has gone from having a lovle rounded tummy to one that is almost concave, and her wee belly button is sticking out so much, it actually looks like a button. I think her appetite is coming back though so I'm off to get some avacados and peanut butter etc today!

I thought I'd take her to get weighed on Tuesday, but if she has lost weight it'll just worry me (and although I know she has lost weight until I know how much I won't worry so much iyswim)

Morning all....don't know what time DD woke up but I went into her at 7am and she was playing happily in her cot.

She was really sick last night - all over the shop - and had an unscheduled bath in the middle of Strictly....so she was up late, but for the wrong reasons.

Other that normal baby milk spewing - that is only the 2nd time ever she's been sick. Ugh!

She's had a huge cup of milk this morning as normal and I'm waiting for the consequences - hopefully it was just a 24 hour bug

Ria....shall look at my house insurance today and check my NCD / Excess situation - thanks - never thought of that one!

Its 8am and DH is watching Scotland playing rugby on the TV (live) already

Pissing down with rain here, so another day indoors methinks! Perhaps I should do something though today

norty, if it's like the bug DD had, she wsa only sick the once but then had diahorrea for over a week and a half. DS on the other hand

Hope you can claim the key on your house insurance. £160 is a lot of money, especially this close to Christmas

I wonder how the Sputniks are this morning?

Poor DD daisy. It's natural after she has been ill though, especially when they are so active!

Ewww for you norty, DD has never been sick, thankfully, I don't even remember her posseting as a baby. Sorry you had to deal with that.

Poor DD has just fallen over again, nothing major but she is a drama queen. She thinks if she cries enough she'll get some chocolate buttons, but I am on to her! (She still odes sometimes though, I know, bad mummy, creating life long associations with chocolate as a way to heal things!). She also took a tumble at my aunty's yesterday, and she was feeling a bit fragile from her fall yesterday with my mum. Poor thing, it's all these new places, she is so used to roaming free at home and knows all the hazards.

She seemed to sleep fine without the calpol last night, though she has woken up the past two nights when DH and I went in to check on her. Bizarrely though she didn't wake and cry like she wold do at home. Last night I was shutting the blind which DH had forgotten to do and I heard "E-shit?" (we aren't quite sure what that means) and her head popped over the travel cot, and then she squatted down to look for her dummy which I found for her and she promptly burried herself back into the cot and went back to sleep. The night before DH went to go and turn off the bloody plugs ins that are all over the house and she just popped up and went "Do-do-do-do-do?". She is just so cute at the moment. Sorry I keep going on about it. I don't know whether it's because I am working FT and don't have to have her all day, more likely it's just because I had such a crap time for the first 10mo or so, that I am just so chuffed now that I like her so much better. God, that sounds awful doesn't it? Not that I didn't like her before, but I really didn't enjoy the first year, but I am really enjoying her now. It's just such a shame that I had to go back FT just as I was really getting into it.

Hopefully the sputniks are all asleep daisy!

bumper we are polar opposites; I loved the baby bit but she is doing my nut in now.....but I think you're right about the not seeing her so appreciating her more.....maybe I need to go back to work. Although when DD is being cute she is very cute; her latest trick is giving eskimo kisses . Unfortunately her default mode appears to be grumpy with tantrums at the minute

I have a chance to do a book event at my PTA craft fayre.....stall will cost £20 so I need to sell about £100 to make it worthwhile. Not sure I can or whether I'll even feel like it with a 4 week old baby to look after , but it seems like too good an opportunity to pass up and I might get some more business out of it.

bugger just checked the dates and the last date for Christmas delivery is 10th December and the fayre is on 13th . I might be able to borrow some books from my line manager to sell on the day, but taking orders would have boosted my sales.

DD has discovered CBeebies; she is transfixed. Watching Me Too . The hybrid city of bits of Glasgow and Edingburgh with a bit of London thrown in (the Gherkin anyone?) is annoying me though.

And half the "stars" in it used to be regulars in the pub I used to work in and are arses.

she is now gently moving our squeaky living room door and laughing. I need to get the oil out again!

Bumper, one of my friends was like that with her DCs - loved them of course, but didn't like the baby stage much at all. I think it's fairly common.

Jamlet was full of beans earlier, but now just wants to cuddle. Is lovely though

Daisy - some of Me Too is in Newcastle/Gateshead.

DH is picking SS names, and yes he IS using his . Not sure how though as he has gone into the dining room where passers by can't see him. (Phew!)

Poor Sputniks, I hope Mr s is ok

Bumper, the bowls are called lukesalmon. They make it easier to use a spoon and both my DCs use them every day.

Daisy, I have texted Andiem your number and asked her to call you.

Poor poorly DCs, what a horrid time of year.

OK, secret santa messages should have been sent.

I noticed the brige in the closing sequence jammy and the bridges in the episode looked a bit newcastley.

horrible horrible programme; and to call her granny murray is insulting to late 30/early 40 somethings everywhere.

Have showered, put a few bits away and a load of washing on and now my hips are sooooo sore. We were going to go out for a pootle but I'm not sure I can . Poor DD hasn't been outside for days.

gaaargh....she has just proudly brought me a toffee that she has dug out of the bottom of my handbag nad has eaten half of, paper and all

right we are off out into the world for a bit now she is mightly hacked off that I took the toffee away from her!

Thanks fairy for getting in touch with andie

OMG, have visions on Mr Jam with his dowsing rod now!

Well I managed to get them both in car asleep last night but they woke when I picked DH up then whe we got home it took them ages to go back to sleep. I got to sleep around 3.30 in the end, which considering I'd had a bad night before and been awake since 4 was not great. Anyway DH took charge this morning and I slept in, have just had breakfast.

So there was no robbing at knifepoint but 2 guys, one distracting and the other detatching his bag from his belt. He has lost all his documents but no money to speak of, that was in a hidden wallet as he was going somewhere "dodgy" [ironic laugh]. Anyway the trip is cancelled as he has no passport so I have him back.

Glad he's OK Sputnik - how horrible! Money and things just aren't important - they can all be replaced.

DD just screamed from her cot and when I went up she was covered in diarrhoea ....so straight in the bath and everything else straight in the washing machine. Just as well my electric meter is buggered atm and washing machine and dryer are going non-stop . Other than lots of fluid, should I just be offering toast and things like that? She isn't interested in food, but feel I should offer it.....any advice very welcome.

Just had to nick the cot mattress that I'd bought for the new baby as well....

Did I miss something about Mr Jammy and the secret santa?

Thanks for the tip about the bowls fairy. I've just had a look and cheekily sent the link to my mum as a possible Christmas prezzy for DD

Oh dear norty, poor DD, and poor you. Hope you don't get it. Have no idea how to deal with D&V in a LO though.

Got the email thanks Jammy. I'm very pleased with my SS partner!

You don't want to know Bumper.

Sorry about your DD Norty. My paed advises to avoid eggs, dairy and tomato. Things like potato, white rice and banana are good. Hope she ets over it soon.

at Mr Jammy's dowsing rod. I have my email too, thanks Mr J.

Norty, I'd let her have toast or banana or whatever she fancies really, but try andc make it plain food and avoid dairy and acidic fruit if you can. If she won't drink then jelly is quite a good way of getting sugar and liquid into them.

I hate Me Too as well, although DD loves it so I have to try and remember to turn over before it comes on.
