Ooh, Star Bars. I LURVE Star Bars.

Ugh, I took a load of meat out of the freezer last night and intended to cook various dishes today, but was so tired having been up 50 times with the children last night that I didn't get around to it. Have just finished making three meals and a cake. Am tired. Don't want to finish my packing. DH's cousin arrives from Australia at the crack of dawn. I need to get his bed ready and I have a training course at 9.30am.

I think we can safely say I am a bad mother. DH brought fish and chips home last night and A ate so much (with vinegar and ketchup) she got sick at bedtime. Then she moaned and groaned all night with her poor sore belly and then got sick again this mornings. Between her being ill and O being restless and DH snoring and the fact I read until 1am anyway, I think I got about 3 broken hours of sleep.

JAM - I'm really sorry, I forgot to say this to you before. Two babies: It does get easier. I promise. I had a rough patch from when O was about 4 weeks to 3 or 4 months and then things really started looking up. For example; being able to actually put him down for 10 minutes while A had a bath without him wailing and then being able to put them in the bath together and now whilst bathtime is still a bloody chore, I can pop the pair of them in and out and get one to bed while one is in their cot amusing themselves and then see to the other. You just kind of fall into ways of doing things until you realise you're coping a lot better.

I really don't know what to say about your DP being put "at risk", other than it's absolutely shit. It sounds trite, but I think often when the "worst happens", it gives us a kick up the arse to go and do something different with our lives. It opens new doors. That's no comfort to you now, when you're worrying about your mortgage, but you're smart, good people and you have a fighting chance. Are you on an interest-only mortgage? If not, then you can change to one. If you are, then speak to the bank as soon as you can if you think you might have problems paying. You might be able to extend the term to reduce the monthly payment or something. They won't actually want to repossess because they won't want to have to sell it, plus, it's just not the way banks do business. Anyway, hopefully it won't be a bridge you need to cross at all, but I'm just saying you'll have options. Lots of love. x

Oh and Irish people say turnip for swede too. I had to unlearn it when I moved here because people looked at me funny when I suggested carrot and turnip mash.

Jam - I echo TYG - it really does get better. Hang in there x

Jesus wept, it had better get better. The wee beastie woke at 2 to feed and was awake till 5.30! We have friends visiting today so have to crack on and clean the foot deep worth of dog hair rather than lie around all day in my pj's.

Thanks all for the DP redundancy stuff he came home with the official letter on Thursday telling them they will be told on Tues. Poor J is trying to be optimistic about it and I am the harbinger of doom. He has had a look overseas and if we get stuck he should be able to get contractor work in Dubai 2 months there 1 month here.

PJ, TYG,AM, CHARLEY anyone else? Have a fab time at CP.

MrsJB how is your DN?

LG&T how do you do it. Doffs cap and bows to her greatness.

Oh and threat of redundancy diet works a treat lost 4 pounds since Tues.

JAM - so sorry about DP. Will be thinking of you on Tuesday and hoping its good news.

TYG - I think turnips and swedes are different. Turnips are smaller and whiter and swedes are bigger and more orangey ? So do Irish and Scots not have proper swedes and called turnips swedes ?? [confused emoticon]

Scots and Irish think the opp turnips are the big orangey ones and swedes the skinny white ones.

Really ? Mt step mum is scottish and her neeps and tatties are the white ones (although she's been in England since her teens so maybe she's been converted ?)

Hmmmm

I have no idea what a swede is. I thought it was someone from Sweden.

But surely a Turnip and a swede are two different things TYG?A Turnip is white and green and a swede is maungy brown and impossible to cut except with a saw.I know because I had to do this this morning when making a stew.A SAW!I beg of you.DH pointed out that it may not be ripe.Clver clogs.
Why arent you at CP?

V about CP.I am at work to make it worse trying to catch up on everything I missed last week.However going to see Strictly Come Dancing tour tonight (someone got DH two tickets for his birthday-he is SUCH a girl)which is cheering me up some.At least havent been sick today so things are looking up..

I wonder what AM and Mrs JB were saying about me?Obviously talking about how gorgeous I am.Not.

Looking back I found the first year of having the two of them hellish Jam I msut admit.I didnt realise it at the time but I was (and still am) knackered.Things settled down a bit and now we are in a new mixed state where half the time it is easier (ie this morn when both kids were up at 5.30 am but played nicely in Lilys room-within ear shot but without needing adult supervision-till the more holy hour of 6.30)as the girls paly together and are very sweet, and the other half of the time they are either fighting over toys or getting into seperate or join scrapes from which some days it feels as if they are having to be constantly extricated.I have become not-as-patient-as- I would like to be which I am about.But I have also learnt to cut myself some slack and realise that I will have to settle for being good enough rather than perfect.This has helped.
I have been thinking about you and DH re Tues..I so hope it all works out..keeping it all crossed...

Hows the weather over there MKG?Its bitterly cold in London Town today.I have just walked from the Tube carrying a Vanilla Latte (soy milk, low fat syrup for the tum, yeeeuch) and it went cold within 3 minutes such was the wind chill.
Wish I was in a Green House near Notthingham somewhere..now who do we know who might be in one of those?

Weather here has been bitter cold. Not too much snow, but lower temps than usual, and any snow we get turns to ice pretty quick.

Roll on summer.I love winter normally but this is too much (FGS We have only had a weeks snow-I am so rubbish )Must go and do some work..

MKG turnip/swede is rutabaga.

Thanks jam. I knew what a turnip was (I think they're only called turnips in my part of the country, but down South they are rutabaga), but swedes not a clue.

Way behind, haven't read much of the posts since Monday but Jam's post caught my eye - so sorry re redundancy and eek re feeding.

Here's a link to some of what's going on with me - a series of very long posts on April 2007 postnatal!

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/postnatal_clubs/697421-April-2007-Hanging-out-the-Bunting-for-BIG-baby-Connor?m sgid=14275002

oh elkie what a nightmare. Keep putting him to the breast. I know a good BFC in Wanstead let me know if you want her contact details. Am sure TYG knows one in your area. Congrats on the not so wee man.

Well we thoroughly enjoyed Strictly, despite being about a mile above the stage in vertigo inducing seats in the O2.Thankfully I was a bit drunk however as it took 3 hours to get home due to engineering works,bus replacement services, missed trains and what not.The night bus in Stratford when its minus 2 is not a good place to be when where you want to be is 20 miles east of there and tucked up in bed.

Sorry for your feeding problems Elkie.Im sure TYG had a good BF counsellor.Dyou want me to text her and see if she has the number in her phone?

I think I drunkenly texted PJ last night at some undue hour-I hope she is not too cross.I think she said they were all having a lovely time.

We put our new lovely wallpaper up yesterday afternoon.(I say 'we'.We paid a man)It looked amazing.By the time we got back last night there was a huge rip in it in a very prominent place.One of the kids obviously rubbed up against it when it was still wet and the baby sitter cant have noticed.I am trying not to let it bother me.I know its a sad fact that when you have kids it is virtually impossible to keep things looking nice all the time, but it had been up a matter of hours.I beg of you.

I have been trying to do this for days but needed 2 hands as am BF constantly. I have had some vino but it was last night

Elkie full sympathy with the BF. Hang in thereit will get better.

I am soooo of the girls at CP.
