January 2008 Shiny New Year Toddlers - first steps to mischief !!!

[Lilyloo]

Hope that's ok all

morning all

H up at 10 crying and v hot, calpol, water & a cuddle he went back to sleep.
kaiboshed (sp?!) my early night plans and took me ages to get to sleep after (i was just drifting off).

Then T up at 5.20
tried putting him back in bed, cue hysterics & 'i want to come in mummy's bed !'
So in he came, was ok for about 2 minutes, then started a Peppa Pig story
was coughing lots, so offered him some water, big mistake, went everywhere.
then he's crying about wet pjs.
so fresh clothes and i've brought him downstairs.

lights fused last night (i turned the fuse switch back on once yesterday and there were sparks so left it as they went near bedtime).
so now sitting in the dark with just the tv for light.
have put on CBeebies as a kind of lesson as it's on the repeat cycle pre-starting at 6.
he doesn't seem bored yet

i may not stop singing the sodding song all day....

An old family friend of DH's family has just failed to get pg at her 2nd ivf chance. her parents were paying and have moved house to raise money for her. don't think they could afford anymore when her dad died anyway.
all very sad.
i often wonder if she's on here somewhere on an ivf thread but don't want to say i'm here iykwim.

And DH's cousins gf went into prem labour at 24 weeks last week. spent some time in hosp and they have stopped labour for now and sent her home, but she has no friends with experience of pg/birth so the cousin's mum has asked me to give her a ring. i've sent her my numbers & email first as i'm not sure it's what she wants but i really feel for her being support-less at this time.
Another one i want to point in the direction of MN.

I should get some kind of commission, lol.

sorry waffling

hope everyone got more sleep than me?

Morning all

Yay DS back at pre school. Think we are both sick of each other

Lilyloo - that story is so sad

Am meeting RL friends today at DD's toddler group which should be good fun, then have some shopping to do as DH will be able to pick up DS from school hopefully.

JKS - sorry to hear about your friend

Also hope they hold off labour for your DH's cousin's GF for as long as possible.

Have to confess don't watch much cbeebies here [bluah] don't know who any of the presenters are

I get stuck having to watch cartoon network etc as DS mad on Tom & Jerry and Scooby Doo etc...

But think its outrageous that someone can say they/their child is frightened of a disabled presenter, what prejudices some people have ]sad]

Afternoon all

Not much on here.. had to go out this morning so DH taken DS2 to MIL so am home alone.... going to do some exercise and then pick up DS1 and make pancakes (well attempt anyway)

We watch a fair bit of cBeebies and honestly neither DC has never even noticed and surely they are of an age where they will probably not associate it as a disability iyswim. Altho do agree they are not very good miss Chris and Poi.

JKS - we sometimes have to put cBeebies on before it starts and DS1 just keeps asking for Sportacus..constantly.,... who incidently i think is rather dishy... despite the blue suit

Simps - will email you on FB to give you my number so we can meet at euston on sat.

Sporticus mmmmm.......

well exactly there's not a lots of eye candy on there is there?!?!
Chris was my previous fave

Just poppin gin to say hello!

We're having one of those days! Sabela couldn't nap, seemed desperate to go out. I didn't want to go as I feel ill still butI went as she was really fractious. As soon as we got out, she fell asleep in the sling so I had to walk about for gaes so she could sleep. If I take her out of the sling, she wakes up and then she would have been fractious all over again.

In fact she is! ALthough I can't balme her as I've found blood in her mouth from tooth breaking through - or her grinding the teeth she does have due to the pain.

Hmmm

Sporticus - definate yum

Have just booked tickets for me, my dad & DS to go and see Milkshake (Peppa Pig, Noddy, Fifi etc) at our local theatre in June.

Thought it was half term week but its not so I guess he will miss a day of school as it starts at 4.30.

DD eaten 2 small pancakes for pudding and DS on his second large pancake with jam

Mixed mama - will text you....

985 messages ladies - we need a new thread!!!

Oh Yus Sportacus!

Even if he is Icelandically weird.

I also have a growing fondness for Captain DJ.

JKS don't want to burst your bubble but Chris Jarvis is very gay but I used to think he was 'lovely' too
Oh LaT poor Sabela teething is such a nightmare isn't it?
Lucky you Simpson we just loooooooove Milkshake here.
George has had the runs for 2 days now and it seems Edward has picked it up too They both havn't eaten a great deal and what they have eaten has gone straight through. They both have red raw bums too George drank about 4 oz of his bottle which is very unusual for him and is now sleeping. They have both been fine in themselves though and no fever or anything. Hope it passes by the weekend we have plans as DH i off Saturday and its supposed to be a nice weekend weather wise.
Right well stenders on now so will bid you all night night xxx

Oh no Ange please tell me its not true Captain DJ nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Suggestion for new thread title ' New teeth and sore bums makes us real Mums!

Oooh another thread already!!!

I think he islovely, what does it matter if he is gay? he does not look half as gay as Sportacus what do you see in the guy, eek

Tis those rippling muscles madmouse and tight clothes

I prefer Captain dj's puppy dog eyes

evening ladies

nearly new thread already wow can we gass

Met friends for lunch today , griped about other halves
and ran around after our 5 dc's would have had 10 if we had met up last week
Suffice to say we have decided to meet up next month in the eveing without dc for a real chin wag (it just doesnt happen with lo's around)!

Oh and my nan has decided to give us some of her savings too
It will be shared out with my aunt and uncle and what would have been my mums share will be divvied between me and two sis . She says it making no interest in savings account so we may as well have it as she will not need it in her life time.
I am sos greatful to her this will be a massive help for us at the minute.
Need to think of something nice to treat her though any ideas ?

Sportacus body is fiiiiit

seems all lo's are suffering with bugs , teeth etc hope it passes for Sat!

How did the pancakes go ? Ours were great (dp made them)

Did you know Sporticus is blonde in rl? There is actualy a thread right here on mn somewhere plus ds3 goes on the Lazytown site on Cbeebies which I don't mind at all xx

Just back from orchestra.

I know G, someone else told me he was gay, i was like noooooooooooo
never mind, could still look at him (which let's face it, is all that i'm going to do anyway).
that new chap, andy, ed? just doesn't cut the mustard for me....

that cerrie girl is quite pretty actually - do you know she has a 4 month old DD? far too thin for 4mo post-pg, ok i don't like her again!

new thread - wasn't there an extra idea from last time about them all being one, the fun's just begun or something?
whatever, i'm easy

hoping the boys give me a better night's sleep, no DH to wake me up at least, lol.

hope everyone else's LOs get better soon.

speak tomorrow

Hi all - I've caught up on the last couple of days. Sorry to have disappeared, I had the worst throat infection that kept on coming back over and over, plus work exhaustion didn't help (was prob the cause actually) - its getting really bad now, it seems I'm stuck doing 3 people's work for the moment, and in 4 days as well. Trying not to let it get me down too much. I confess, I forgot about the meet up esp feeling foolish because I remember I'd made a huge fuss because I thought I had missed it and it was in Jan .

Feeling a bit fragile and weepy actually, which is not usually like me. Just thought I'd let you guys know I'm still around though.

Hi Fragolina sorry your feeling so poop Glad you managed to post something. Hope your feeling alot better soon. xxx

Gingeme found your thread reccomendation from last time
