August 2008: Coffee's On. Pull up a Chair and Chat a While.

[TwilightSurfer]

Oops could you offer your Closer wrap for a tenner?

Am getting excited as have had a biter from my teagroup who might want to share a cab with me on my night out next week. It's an NCT pubcrawl!

Buckets - we had a closer but i didn't really get on with it, DD never quite felt properly snug IYKWIM. So I passed it on to a mum with a refluxy baby who needed for her sanity!

Dizzy - yes those were her exact words!

some friend tell her to feck off, the bloody cheek

am I right she GIFTED this to you with no conditions attached but has decided to change her mind and give it to someone else ?!?

no need for tooling up! oops check your emails

Poppy goodness. I'd be freaked if Reese had to be operated on. Nice that Captain's been there-done that. {{{hugs}}}

Captain YEAH!!!!!

Oops what a B!%@#. A gift is a gift.

Buckets....a pubcrawl....interesting.

Cyteen you seriously ate all that today.

Hey did anyone take advantage of the after Valentine's Day candy sales???

Thanks all. The keyhole thing is v. interesting to hear CC. Will keep that in mind. Not sure whether it is an umbilical hernia now as it seems to be a fairly long stretch of unconnected muscle. Should probably try to find out more, but know that googling would not be a good plan!

Congrats on the house offer CC! Fab news.

Sorry to hear that DD1's rash is rumbling on. My DD1's just keeps coming and going and I've given up trying to solve it as it doesn't bother her. Sounds as if it's worse at your end though.

Oops.... hmmmm. Difficult one, but rather odd. (That's helpful isn't it!)

Great news that the pressure's off Dizzy. One less thing to worry about at least!

DD was weighed today and she is..... 14lb2oz YAY she has regained her line.

Miamla - Thank you will mail you as soon as I find a ruler!

TS - how was your girls day? What do you mean candy?? YOu are supposed to be the anti-candy police!

Dizzy - thanks for the tooling up offer but I have calmed down now and will send it back next Monday as I want it for the weekend. Dh offered to post it, I was suspicious and wanted to know what he was up to. Apparently he was going to post it with only a 1st class stamp on it. but I will not stoop to that level.

Sazzles - have you tried dipping her ricecake/toast into the puree? When we had to be out early on Saturday I took a ready made pot which she refused to eat, then I dipped her ricecake into it and she sucked it off with glee, she also likes me to load her spoon and she can do it herself. DD ate most of a slice of toast this evening whilst we were having coffee at the farmshop this evening followed rapidly by a full BF Hope L sleeps and you get a better night with her soon, could it be related to her face hurting?

OOps what a cheeky madam What more can one say?!

Today I have done a little more hidying and then been a FSG (s=sporting) by doing a whole hour of hockey training, in the rain no less. Ooooh, get me.

Back to work in, I hardly dare say it, 12 little days . I really want to go back but I really don't want to leave O . Think anyone would notice if I hid him under my desk? He's a happy little chappie!

poppy STEP AWAY FROM THE GOOGLE!!!! if you need to do something you could always post a thread on health and ask who else has had a similar thing happen

oops great news on Poppy's weight and well done Mr Oops for having some scruples but also kudos to you for having some morals (which I am obviously lacking due to my apparent need to tool up at every opportunity )

Sazzles did you tell the doc you had no time to wait and see...that you are traveling overseas in a few weeks.

Oops I think indulging is something that makes you happy is a good thing when done with moderations. And when that good thing is 75% off it's a good idea to STOCK UP.

I need to head back to the hardware store. Seems I still need a few pipe pieces in order to finish out my new sink installation. Serve me right for just EYEBALLING it and not measuring.

Reese just reacted so funny to the cat walking by her activity center. Her face looked as if she were thinking, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? LOL

oh Sazz am so sorry, I can't begin to understand why the Dr won't speed things up. Did you try the food tolerance thingy or a homeopath?

CC 12 days can't believe we're hear already? what have you got in place for O?

if funny how they know about flirting from such a young age, must be a very primal survival thing

Oops Look here and if Ascot is travelable here for bargain wraps.

sazzles.. i wonder where DD1 gets in from!!

Thanks - Buckets - we have a solution underway.

Lads, I am fit to drop.
The christening was lovely. The party after was huge fun and very relaxed and the food was, if I say so myself, pretty damn good. There was enough and nobody was poisoned anyway. Pics will follow but as DH left the camera in a different town the week before the christening I'm waiting on others to send some on to me.

Since the weekend DD2 has been very clingy, and DH has been immobilised by a bad back. I'm not usually sympathetic (DH once described me to his class when he was trying to get them to understand what Lady Macbeth was like ) but he is clearly in agony.
DD2 had her jabs today, and I finally got around to having a smear test [pathetically proud of self emoticon]

I've been reading along with you but haven't had a hand free to post until tonight.

My catch-up hellos are for everyone with a few special mentions:
Poppy that is so upsetting-and it's not in the least bit 'me, me, me' to say so.
Pertolete-it's good to hear that you are positive about the weaning.
CC - that is great news on the house offer.
Sazzles - i hope some progress is made for DD1 - is she upset about it herself?
Even DH was asking about Marcus, No1 ... I hope you are all feeling better there.

I wanted to say too how much I appreciated all your kind wishes and secret hugs for DS. Buckets posted something exactly right the other day from her psychology book. It isn't quite that DS is being bullied but that he is stuck between the only two other boys in his year, both of whom have major issues. I might have posted this before ... One is a foster child with major attachment issues, and if the other child was mine I would be thinking he had an autistic spectrum disorder and putting myself in the best position to support him half as well as Buckets supports her DS1.
Both boys are great in lots of ways, but they are finding it handy to offload onto DS. I spoke to the teacher and thought things were better but the poor pup was weeping again tonight. He even drew me a diagram showing me that he isn't over-reacting to things or under-reacting but is trying to be fair and even. When he was going to sleep he said 'Mum, you don't have to worry about me ever hitting them back because I just won't do it.' God I adore that boy.
Now that really was 'me, me, me'.

only got one hand so its going to be a shortie

sibh DS does sound adorable!

Ah, thanks Miamla.
He is of course as contrary as the rest of them in his own way.

Morning all,

A bad night here. DS woke at 9pm, 11pm, 4.25am and 6am. Think it must be teething as he didn't want to feed at 9 & 11 but was just very upset. Didn't help that I had rather too much champagne celebrating big brother's engagement either

Am feeling rather awe inspired by all you wonderful mums this morning. Sibh he certainly sounds like a wonderful little boy and you should definitely take some credit for that.

Poppy hope that you are doing ok and not googling. Am seeing someone for PND at the mo and she has banned me from looking things up on the computer or in books worrying about DS weight - hence the long break from MN for me .

Up early again , who on earth told me that having two children was a good idea . At least they're happy now they're up and sort of playing together nicely while I muck about on here

Sibh glad the christening went well; as all the others have said your DS sounds like such a lovely boy, you must be so proud of him

Expectant I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with PND. I understand the not googling or going on the rest of MN but you know we are all here to offer hugs or manly arm punches, whichever you prefer, with no judging and maximum support.

Oops could you use the sling to wipe up a bit of baby sick before you send it back?

Poppy good luck to your DD xxxxxxx

CC hurrah on the house!!! Do you get the lovely one with the garden now then? Summer meetup chez Caveman?
