June 07 - Do we smell? Yes bumper, I'm talking to YOU!!!!

[LackaDAISYcal]

I think it lost something in translation there ....

oh well.

My other favourite quote of the week is DD1 taking about having two Grandpas.

"You have to call one Grandad or you get them mixed up. Its like being a girl and having two bottoms. You call your front one a ping-ping (her name for it) so you don't get them mixed up".

"Yes, darling. It is the same, isn't it? Exactly the same".

we call it a mary here - don't quite know why though

DD grabbed DSs willy yesterday

DD is fascinated by bumble's as well norty.

willies in our house have always been called winkles so as not to get confused with my BIL . so DD naturally calls hers a winkle as well, but I often refer to it as a foof.

and sorry to be a bit crass, but a question about little girls. DD seems to get fungal infections a lot and gets really whiffy, even though she is washed daily and bathed two or three times a week nd of course everytime her nappy is changed. Is this just a little girl thing or am I not cleaning her properly?

We have just had a foray into the loft (ostensibly to get stuff for the sale tomorrow, but I was also looking for some jigsaws for DD that i know are up there). We found boxes upon boxes upon boxes of toys, games and books. Some of the jigsaws and games are still wrapped in cellophane and have been up there for nearly four years since we moved from Scotland . We really need to stop buying stuff!!

DS often tells me I have a willy-willy.

I don't, by the way.

pmsl Fury, tahnks for clarifying

DD is fascinated by DS' willy as well. It took a hile to convince her that it was not ok for her to pull it in the bath

morning! did anyone else not know about the clocks this morning.. missed mass.. WHOOPS

I didn't know because I stayed in bed with DS2 last night

DH doesn't seem to know whether to be a wanker or an arsehole today. I am a tad frustrated cos I wanted to do the bedrooms while he was here to watch baggins downstairs.

DH has now gone to "work", in that he's covering tonight and breakfast tomorrow, so will be sleeping over in the hotel. He is probably wound up because he thought the hotel changeover would have happened by now and they would be closed refurbing the kitchen(and so his proper new job would have started) Not my fault though.

Baggins has fallen asleep on the sofa next to me. Bugger. was going to drag the kids to the shop for some chocolate! At least I can sneak in half an hours tidying upstairs now...

so what's the difference between a wanker and a arsehole Ria?

My DH has man flu ....I'm not a very good nurse!

I have man flu as well Norty; it's horrible

I'm waiting on DH to come back to see that we sold at the NCT sale. When I was there I noticed a few of our bits being carried around, but also noticed lots still on the tables and hangers, and my big pram was still unsold....but there was still over an hour to go so fingers crossed.

I bought a garden swing for £8 that starts off as a toddler swing and then converts to a big kid (up to age 10) swing. Bargain!!

no idea norty.

did a little tidying, and moved the cot back into the boys room from ours (DH was using it as a clothes storage space! - I put his clothes into shopping boxes and he can put them away when he comes home. you'd think he would be old enough to know that pants/socks are easier to find in drawers than in a heap). we are going to have to get bunkbeds soon. can you get lower ones for younger kids do you know?

sale sounds good daisy. I have loads of stuff boxed up for car boot sales this summer, and I keep weeding out clothes for the salvatin army, but I'm such a sentimental hoarder

Just did a quick reckoning and we have cleared £100 with the sale ....but that fecking white elephant pram is still with us

And we have discovered a box of baby clothes...sitting in the hall that we completely forgot to load into the car

hellooooo....is there anybody there???

Hi Daisy, I'm lurking. How are you?

a bit bleargh but cheered by my first foray into NCT selling.

Am considering going to bed but tis only 8.30 in body clock land and that seems ridculously early, even with a bad cold.

Have you had a good day?

£100 is good going, at my first sale I made a £5 loss

All ok here. We've been looking for a range cooker today. Not decided on one, just having an initial look.

There's no shame in an early night, especially as you'll feel like you're getting up an hour earlier tomorrow morning. I hate this clock change.

Well I spent a tenner so I may just have cleared the £100. would have been more if we had remembered the box of baby clothes . We'll sell all the seasonal stuff on here or ebay and save the rest for next time.

I have a stack of nappies to sell as well; mostly freebies from testing, so stand to make a good profit there

Evening!

I forgot about 15 items for the sale last weekend, so you're not the only one going senile daisy!! I think I cleared about £75 for each of the 2 I've just done. Dd's 18-24 & 2-3 clothes sold really well. She does have gorgeous clothes though and because she has so many most of them have hardly been worn. Sold a biro covered Bumbo for £10 as well! Nappies didn't go at all. I priced them cheaply, but no luck. I think I'll put them on usednappies.co.uk. I think it's a bit difficult selling them somewhere like an NCT sale because people often don't know what they are looking for.

I'm going to bed soon. Dp was snoring really badly last night and dd ended up in our bed, so ds and I moved to her bed which is too small for both of us. I hate that man sometimes in the middle of the night. I feel like punching him in the face sometimes! Ds wakes at least twice in the night still and with dp snoring I feel like the walking dead!

How's your scar and everything daisy? Are you healing ok?

IT's much better today thanks holly...obviously the pus was better out than in. I'm keeping an eye on it though and if not vastly improved will get to the docs for ABs.

there were some wraps for sale at ours and some prefolds but the wraps were really scabby, and still priced at £3 and £4!

We are the same with clothes, DD has so much stuff that a lot of it has hardly been worn.

ikwym about snoring DPs. As if my sleep isn't disturbed enough I have to endure rank smoring as well.....which is why i'm not really in too much of a hurry for DH to get back in the marital bed full time .

Older boys stuff would sell well too I think as it's always thin on the ground due to being generally quite trashed. Shame we have to save ours for bumble.

Ewww at the pus! Glad it's a bit better.

I would love dp so much more if we didn't sleep in the same bed. I rarely have violent thoughts, but at 3am when I've been lying there for 2 hours awake and waiting for the next snore, I feel like committing murder!

I'm off to bed now, ds is asleep in there already and I need to snuggle up to his sweaty little body!

How do nits know it's Sunday night???

Norty, wasn't ignoring you earlier. This bit of yorkshire is more Brideshead/Heartbeat/The Royal/Little Voice (in reverse order for closeness to me, but all within my driving distance!). Where DM&F have their static is Herriot country. There is a museum in Thirsk where you can actually try sticking your hand up a cows foof (thanks daisy) DH took DS1 last year and he said it was brilliant. Everyone should visit Yorkshire!

shame I'm not in the NCT

DH is away until morning so no snoring here!

although James Herriot was posted near here during the war for his training, in one of the big hotels.

and Tolkein wrote a book about the local beach!

( can you tell I have Yorkshire running through me like rock)
