csws that pic scared me, if a doctor came to me and looked that young I would not want him touching me (well I would but not in a professinal way ) he needs some more experience

Why confusing Pepper. Have I missed something? Again!

Thank you ronshar
I am off to bed soon too. Am going to town tomorrow to spend my b'day money yeh!

aren't all of your days long and confusing pepper?

Buy some thing gorgeous and totally not mummy clothes. Lucky thing.

I too am off. Good night ladies.

that pic is quite old jenwa. You'd have been a teen and thought he looked old at the time.

Bugger - just got into bed and now sounds like ds is waking!

ooh that's weird. My link doesn't take me to the pic when I'm on my phone.

(still not sure if ds needs me or is just rumbling and resettling)

Stay in bed and pretend you didnt hear anything.

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Carter on Dialysis. Please dont tell me they kill him off as well. I have no tears left.

Am so thick, have just been refreshing the page for the last hour thinking maybe you don't all talk late in the evening. Just realised you do...but the thread got to a new page. Still managed to watch yesterdays Waterloo Road- am very into cheesey tv at the moment.

Have just given ds last feed for today, need to rush to bed now to cram in my first block of sleep...hopefully he'll let me have 4 hours to start with tonight.

Night all x

ronshar i got my doidy cup from amazon.

i love carter, i must admit a little tear escaped at the end there only 6 more episodes till the end

hmm yeah for the weight gain

ds resettled after my last post, but have just been up for 3rd time since.

CSWS - Last night M went to bed at 8.15 was awake at 10.15, 1am, 3.30am and 5.30 was the start of the day. Does that make you feel better? DH is home today so when he gets in I'm off to bed. Must try and get out of the house today but I need to get some mineral sunscreen for M as DS and I are allergic to normal sunscreen and M has eczema so is bound to be the same! I'll have to cath up with the rest of you later as I need to get ds breakfast etc.

Morning all! That pic doesn't really do anything for me CSWS, I would rather be dreaming about this or this Hubba hubba.

Morning all
MM I thought my night was pants as P was coughing loads so went down afew times but she woke at 6am but not asabd as yours then. Hopefully you will get a rest today.
loulou sorry meant to say re your MIL and staying in his bedroom all night! They can be strange! It is always such a pain when you try to do the right thing and someone else takes over! Actually last night my mum and dad wwere coming over for a b'day drink so they said they would be over in the eve, they got here at 7! SO DD1 was still up and clearly would not go to bed told her she could have 5 mins downstairs but up to bed and no story as it was late so her treat instead of a story was being up, anyway my mum said "I will read her a Story" I said no and that DD needed to go to bed and mum said she would do it and not read her a real story but a made up one in her head! Still my answer is NO!!!! She then wanted to tuck her in so I went up too to make sure she went straight to sleep.
Now please ladies, if we still all chatting when out DD children have children rememeber to remind me to let them get on with it and dont interfere !!!!

Yeh off to spend some birthday money!
Even though MIL has been off she still gave me £100, had £40 from my parents and £40 from my sis and DH treating me to a spa day or I can have the money for shopping ....ohhhhhh decisions!!!!!

HMM yeh!!! pwhorrrr! (can't put that in to the right spelling but mmmmmmmmm)
Especially the first one, cant rememeber his name now but yummy, he used to be in Party of Five and is sooooo much sexier now

This is my all time fav sexy

He is sooooooo sexy Oh I am happy for the rest of the day now

Morning all- ds had quite a good night. Woke at 3am but went back to sleep until 4 once I'd put his dummy in. Then after 4am feed he went back to sleep quickly but then woke at 6.45. That just seems to early to start the day to me! Today I had an ingenious idea and gave him to dh to keep an eye on while he was getting ready for work (why it's taken me nearly 6 months to think of this I don't know), managed to get a little more sleep until 7.30. He's now gone back to sleep again as he is exhausted. I on the other hand am now too awake to sleep so will probably do something really interesting like clean the house.

We're out tonight for SIL b'day so my parents are babysitting. They live about 180 miles from us but are coming down as we got them tickets for a show tomorrow so it's worked out quite well with our night out too. Just hope ds behaves...

HMM- used to be a Jack fan but am no more into Sawyer..yummm

Jenwa- who is that a pic off, he looks familar?? Have fun spending your b'day money

Where's Myjob when you need her? I need a quick summary of everything I missed and she's just the woman!

Jenwa - I believe that is the correct spelling of pwhorrrrr, if I remember from my days of reading Just 17! But yummy or so cute!

This is his name

What's the name of yours Jenwa???

By the way, HV said as I'm not expressing I should consider getting prescript for DF formula just to mix with baby rice etc as I don't express. I mentioned the probs with soya formula and the other stuff being horrible and she was aware of all that but said the soya formula wouldn't harm her if it was just being mixed with the baby rice rather than a full feed. What do you all think?

Rhythm time this morning. DH has offered to go with her alone...Yesssssss [bad mummy]

Actually MM/ Jenwa I'm sure pwhoarrrr has an "a" in it....

Agree with the so cute. Yummy looks like he could share Martha's cot MM. Shame on you Mrs Robinson...

No hmm, mummy that needs a bit of a break. Oh I'm so I am starting to think I'm a bad mummy as I never do any activities with M . It's just so rough round here [snob emoticon] and when I open my mouth I tend to alienate half the room.

hmm! He's 5 years older than me!!! He was about 35 when that picture was taken a couple of years ago. [old-looking craggy bag]

If anyone fancies 30% off at Gap send me a message with your e-mail address in fb and I'll forward it to you. I'm thinking of going shopping this afternoon....

Use rice milk with added calcium for weaning foods hmm. It's what I've used with both.

Yes please to the Gap voucher.
I would love a bit of the Doctor.
Another full night here. I am not going to say another thing about it ever.

Did you all see the news about not giving Bonjela to babies. Could cause Reyes. Only use the Bonjela Teething Gel.

CSWS can I use rice or oat milk for William as a normal drink if he drops the day time BF. Which he seems to be doing. I keep shoving my breast in his face but he isnt that interested Cant think why not.
Maybe it is the shoving
