Feb 06 - No more wasting thread on one liners!

[Flamesparrow]

Just done blood after weetabix and milk. Was 6.8 so better

Ooh that's really good phoenix (am assuming you're doing them 1 hr after eating). I could never get that low on cereal.

Jeez where is everyone?

I could cry with tiredness and fed up with dd-ness at the moment. She is permanently overtired because we cannot get her to stay in bed til even 6am, and it's having a big impact on her behaviour and tantrum levels. We rarely make it to 6:30am without at least one tantrum, and many days end with one too.

We're having it the other end... am on my knees- hence not much posting
It is just bloody-mindedness about going to bed, then she is too tired to get up in the mornings.

Oh dear Sorry you are both suffering atm.

I've been car booting all day. Not made a huge amount, but got rid of alot of junk, and the sun shne s I had a good day. I left dp with ds and 1 dds he was very grumpy by the end of the day.

We did manage to lose him at one point but fund him after 5 mins trying to beg an icecream. The child has to be tied to me at all times, or strapped int the buggy to be safe.

Oh, and I'm not on here because I'm still playing travian It should end in the next month and I won't sign up again. It has taken more time than mumsnet used to!

We need to do a carboot desperately, got so much junk and so little money

Had a hectic bank holiday weekend. DH has been away all weekend so was expecting a fairly quiet one but have my friend who has split form her dh staying with us and my db is also splitting from his erratic gf so he has been here most of the weekend too, it has been chaotic but very funfilled, too much drinking (which considering my AF is late was prob not the best move ) and too many late nights and early rises. Can't complain though, at least my lack of sleep was due to a joyous weekend!

Just checking in.

Have been awol with hyperemesis, antenatal depression, and a trip to see Frizbe and Meridian this weekend.

I am a joy to be around clearly, hence the lack of posting.

Well- we're having a lovely wet bank holiday... they both wet the bed last night (1s still in nappies!)
Washing coming out of my ears- its raining so it can't go outside [grr]
DD hadn't even noticed she'd wet the bed is that entirely normal????

Phoenix- how are you getting on with your eating/testing?
Have you finished work now???

FLame- are drugs not working anymore?

Jas- I always assume you're off cleaning when you're not on here- because of the fly threads

Chloe- dejunking feels good- go do some!

csws- what time was dd up this morning? What time does ds usually wake?

Have no idea what travian is .

When are you testing Chloe?

(((flame)))

EPPM - today dd didn't come down until 6:30 (she'd been awake since 6:15 apparently), but she hadn't gone to bed til just after 8, so is still so overtired and screamy that dh has just taken her out to buy a petrol can full of petrol (for mower) just so that she can fall asleep in the car. Asking what time ds wakes up implies that you are expecting some regularity to his sleeping, which you certainly won't find! Last night he slept well til 2:30 (one of his best ever), but was then awake til just after 3, and awake again from just before 4 until just gone 5, and he then slept til 7 with just a little wail at 6. The night before I was up most of the night with him and the day started at 6. He pretty consistently goes to bed between 7 and 7:30 though, so there is something which is regular!

How did dd do sleep wise? What techniques have you tried for getting her to sleep?

Not sure when testing, like I say dh has been away and wouldn't want to do it when he isn't here. Don't get paid til wed so will prob have to wait til then to buy a test, providing AF still hasn't turned up.

csws- I am impressed dd will still sleep in the car.... mine won't anymore, though she always says 'I'm asleep Mummy' just as we pull up at home
It's not the getting to sleep- its the getting her to lie down in bed... once she's in there, she'll go off. But the fuss and screaming we have getting her to lie down
She kicks the covers off (we use a sheet tucked in over her duvet to stop her falling out at night, because she's still so wriggly), jumps out of bed, runs to her door. Until recently we just held the door handle closed, and she'd run back to bed and yell for us to put her covers back on (repeat 3 or 4 times) but now she has started hammering on her door which is SO LOUD and wakes DS up, as he usually has a snooze while we put her to bed, then has his milk and bedtime after she's in bed.
Tonight she tantrummed downstairs before we even got up- waking ds and terrifying him- he screamed blue murder- was really upset. She was screaming... gah!
Usually she just tantrums in the bathroom about ...well... everything these days- getting out of the bath, getting dry, brushing her teeth, etc etc. Though this eve, as she'd already had a tantrum, she got ready pretty speedily.

I think it's psychological- she has always needed to scream cry to get to sleep, and now I think she needs to have a good scream to get everything out... but it is so wearing.
I also think that as DS gets older and therefore more interesting, she is becoming more jealous

Flame. I know there isn't anything I can do, but I'll always listen if you need someone to moan/cry to....

EPPM - You haven't grasped the FLY thing.....it is for those of us who don't do housework to talk about it
My sleep method is to make ds run as much as possible to tire him out during the day, and then shut him in his room at 7, and hope. Sometimes he gets into bed and goes straight off. tonight he crashed around in dd2s shoes until 9.30, when I followed through on my threat to turn off the light (he is now scared of the dark), and he went to sleep.
DD2 often didn't notice she'd wet the bed - not unusual at all.

Travian is a war game csws. I got suckered into it when dd1 found it and signed up in August. She got bored, and I'm still playing (the one game. It is played in real time and runs for 9 months or so).

Jas re fly
glad to know dd isn't unusual...

Flame- hope you're okay

Am I dreaming- was phoenix going on holiday this week?

Ah, yes. Mon-Fri. that was shy she had two weeks before the diabetic clinic appointment.

I used to FLY, felt really in control whilst I was doing, totally slipped out of it now and housework is always on top of me.

Still no AF, did a cheap pg test yesterday mid-aft, was negative. STill cramping, still feel like crap

Come over and join us on FLY. They are a very friendly bunch

Sorry for neg test.

Do you know I think I might join you over there, feel like I need to start again.

I am a bit over the neg test. However, I have got a hen do in 5 weeks which I couldn't imagine being as fun as a sober person! So, just trying to look at the positives for not being pg this month. Just wish I could explain everything that's going on with my body at the moment because I couldn't feel more pg if I tried - nauseous, knackered, cramping for going on 3 weeks now, late period, sore boobs, horrible taste in mouth Come on body - SORT IT OUT!

You know you want to FLY
Can you tell I've been up since 5.30??

How overdue are you? Would it be worth testing again in the morning?

Well I am between about 4-6dys overdue so not ridiculously but enough to be unusual. I have decided to test Friday morning if no AF, if it's still neg I think I will make a doc appointment as the cramping is worrying me a bit.

Sounds like a good idea.

Agree with Jas there MM, Dr's for you, find out what's going on.

Phoenix {{{Hugs}}} for the GD

CSWS how did the sleep over go then? CSWS/EPPM Have you attempted star charts for the girls yet? dh was threatening dd2 with one this am, when she awoke as monster from hell, she's been on naughty step 4 times before pre school

Flame, glad you enjoyed yourself you're welcome anytime! (Same goes for the rest of you out there!) oh and ss's bed is now operational and very comfy, so if you bring the kids up you can crash here if you want (we have room for 3 folkes! more if you bring airbeds!) In fact it's that good, I'm starting to want his room, which indicates, that we really should do ours next......

Jas for bathroom, have you put photos up yet? sorry I've not checked before asking!

Where's MRM then?

So up here we've been mainly showing Flame the delights of Derbyshire, dh and I got a nnight out Sat night, free entry to a new club in town, so persuaded mum to bbsit again, huzzah! then Sunday was flat pack central (though I was good and brought Meri and Flame coffee back from Starbucks after I'd dragged dh round Ikea) the bed is now up and two out of four units assembled, cracking on with more tonight!
Right, against my better judgement I'm off to exercise now, which is really silly, as I'm walking like John Wayne, after going for a half hour hoss riding lesson yesterday for the first time in a million years, but was fun, so will be going again

mrm is here. Alot going on

mrm. Are you ok?

Frizbe - you sound very busy. I've not put up any pics as dp has removed a cupboard door so I want it back before I take them.
