August 08 - Sleep thiefs and baby lags in stripey tops with bags of swag.

[Steaknife]

sorry, DS seems to have been a nap thief today. An hour this morning and now he's on 2hrs10mins and counting! what have i done during the lengthy time? sat and waited for him to wake up! oops!

what's happened? he doesn't even sleep this long during the night!

sorry to all feeling poorly and down

dizz i'd plump for yours because its more!

damn you all! i want lemon drizzle cake NOW!!!

Well I was planningon going to shops as have no milk or bread either, but quite frankly cannot be arsed.... ds crying now

Actually I have to go to shop cos dd needs milk for bed time.

lol, i've got lemons but no self-rising flour, eggs or baking powder
suspect i might need a trip to the shops!
ooh i do have chocolate ice cream though

show off with the choc ice cream - take it round to ALBS for poor wee H

right thats me then, Dylan awake so have to get her before she wakens DH (wouldn't be good at all) and then school run. I think I'll try to keep them out for a while to let him sleep too

As it happens I do have to go to the supermarket in a bit...lemons all round?

So cannot be arsed to do anything today. We are moving next week and I've got Don't Know Where To Start syndrome and a hangover.

i've actually got a sore throat myself so afraid i need it for medicinal purposes as well! worry not, i'm hopefully helping ALBS by looking after her DD for a little while

cyteen...another hangover? i'm jealous!!

Ok so ds up, I have dresseed him, made my self half decent, now juat awiting dd to wake.

I am motivating to go to supermarket. Have a feeling by the time we are loaded up sorted and back dh will be home from work and I have done naff all.
So any ideas for something quick easy and scrummy for our tea????

cyteen I do hope you have all hands on deck to help with your move.

My curse cursor pad thingy is not working properly again.
Do you think its because laptop been on mn since 7am.

Miamla don't be, it is from a pathetically small amount of alcohol

lol, well that's ok then

no1 possibly! has it started melting round the edges from over use?

LOL at DIzzy lemon flaunting.

And Bah to tonisilitis - very grotting and I second/third/fourth all calls for the ice-cream tonic.

No lemons, not sure if the flour is SR or not and not much of the other ingredients in our cupboard.
I always forget to put biscuits on the shopping list so my cup of tea is very lonely today.

We slept for 2hours ish, and it was we. The apartment has collective heating and the landlord had is switched off since we had such lovely weather recently. Rained all day yesterday and today and it is freakin deakin cold. A good excuse to give up nap training and snuggle up in in bed. Though I did have to let Izzy cry play in her cot this morning while I got things done. She was beautifully behaved during our counselling though. I was Sherpa Steaking with all the crap essential baby stuff I was luggin around though.

Oh arse is that the time? I've got 5 mins to get Izzy in a clean nappy and out the house.

Also just remembered that DH collected her prescription for anaesthetic patch but it needs to go on 45 mins before she has the jabs, but not meeting DH until time of appointment.

Laters lemon ladies

GAH - what I really needed to say was - Miamla are you guys still planning on coming out to France so DH can fall out of the sky?

If so do you know dates yet? As I need to be in UK for 30th May and was hoping I could plan it so I wasn't there while you were here. [not sure that makes sense emoticon]

do you ladies think ds could be self weaning? am amazed how low this has got me...

It's hard to say albs - maybe start a thread asking for tiktok if you haven't already, she sounds like she's seen it all. Sorry to hear you're sad, I can imagine it is worrying I'm sure it's just him having a sore throat/mouth and feeling grim (but ask the professionals anyway!)

I think we all need a little dose of happiness!

now off to soothe a crying baby.

Love and happy, healthy vibes to you PF and Albs.

BTW I've invented a vegan, sugar-free ice cream substitute: Just mix the juice from a tin of peaches with plain baby rice til it's ice cream consistency and chill in the fridge.

Is it National Lemon Drizzle day? Have only got a lime (which DS1 has drawn on to turn it into Eve the robot) so will have to make a lime and coconut drizzle. And it will have to wait til tomorrow. Off to run a bath before my date with Gene Hunt. TS Have you seen the American version of Life on Mars with Harvey Keitel?
Also, while I have a tame American on hand, what are The Superfriends? I see references to them in Simpsons etc all the time - it's a gang of geeks right?

Buckets I have not seen Life on Mars (yet). THE SUPERFRIENDS!! Note: I am third from the right.

What you've asked about is referencing the Saturday morning classic cartoon. The Superfriends are all the major super heros IN ONE CARTOON. It was a Saturday morning must when I was small. Each Super Hero had their own show of course but it did not compare to this and the HALL OF JUSTICE (the place where all the heros met).

evening all, been out to visit my mum but had to leave straight after dinner because DS had a meltdown. He's now fast asleep in his cot!!! yup, you read that right... my DS is in his cot!!! miracles can happen!

albs i second what someone else said, start a thread for tiktok's advice. and i'm sure its just because of his sore throat

really looking forward to my little friend* coming for tea tomorrow

steak def won't be for a few months so you're safe to come over here! don't worry, we'll give you plenty of notice!

TS thanks for the happiness

buckets lime and coconut drizzle sounds delicious! oh! i really want cake now!

vg your dinner sounds erm how do i put it "interesting"!

• albs' DD

miamla glad he has settled and in his cot too, great

I made the lemon drizzle cake It didnt rise much and I soaked it with too much juice after but mmmm was yummy although soggy very moist.

lol no1, that face is exactly the one i'm pulling! i am cheating slightly though, whenever i've heard him stirring i've hummed his lullaby to him over the baby monitor. seems to have worked so far but still keeping fingers crossed!

your cake sounds lovely! you could just rename it to "lemon drizzling cake" and yours is perfect!

my mum loves almond crossaints (too tired to spell it!) so thought i'd make her some for her birthday. oh my goodness they're hard to make but she loved the almond shortcake i made Its all down to what you call your offering!
