Jenwa - I am an animal lover just not cats or dogs. I don't believe in giving money to save cats when children are being abused and killed in their own homes. Plus they poo in my garden and kill small wild animals, pesky things.

Hi Red - I'll be seeing you on the BLW thread too, buit, my Ds2 has eczema too - -jsut been to the doctor and she's prescribed a cream. Can't remember what it was called though, began with C, and the pharmacy didn't have any and we've got to go back tomorrow.

Wow, what a fascinating post that is
Anyway, welcome. I'm sure you'll soon be as addicted to MN as we all are!!

Check this out. How lovely is that? It would have been great for M and her bunny obsession. It's sold out and can't find it anywhere. I've been doing loads of internet window shopping this afternoon. I have been dreaming about all the lovely Monsoon dresses I can buy once I have no more lard. I am determined to 're-invent' myself once I have lost my baby weight. My dress sense was all over the place before I got pregnant. I need to grow up because I get attracted to pretty girlie things like a bloody magpie. Now I have dd to indulge I can have a proper grown-up clothes!

Jenwa - I wasn't getting at you in my last post by the way. I came over all preachy! Sorry about that!

mm sorry, just logged back on, its fine, I know you not keen on dogs and cats. You should get a dog this will keep the cats away !!!!!
I do like the red panda too, the link you put on earlier.
Nice bunny too. And at you wanting to be all grown up with clothes, I would love to go shopping and spend loads, problem in I would no doubt put my jeans and comfy top back on and it would all sit in the wardrobe

MM - get her the bunny one of these. Dd has the kitten, and I rate them quite highly.

Jenwa - the obesity thing is proven fact, not just opinion, but obv that doesn't mean that no bf baby will be obese and all ff babies will be fat! The rice at 12 weeks probably didn't help the baby that you know .

Welcome Red and good luck back at work. Have you tried eliminating dairy to help with the eczema? If you've read much of our threads you will know that we are quite a dairy free bunch!

star - dd switched to 1 nap at around 11 months, but she was by far the first of her peers at the time to do this. Ds still has 3 naps most days, due to the fact that each one is only around 25 minutes long .

ronshar - where were you when I missed an episode of brothers and sisters a few weeks ago (the one where Nora met Ryan)? Our power cut at home meant that it didn't record whilst I was at my parents, and I couldn't find anyone to make me a copy, or even tell me what had happened!

I am tired and grumpy, but I've only been awake since 4:30am today, so who knows why .

CSWS - That's a lie-in for you surely? I'm surprised your brain hasn't turned into mush from a lack of sleep. I am finding that I am getting more and more used to having no sleep. I used to need 10 hours a night or I was intolerable but now I can survive on half that. Good job too as DH can no longer survive on 5 hours! I love those lights. Are they good then?

Star - Thinking about it M has one long nap when she does nap. She tends to sleep for about two/three hours on my lap. If I put her in the cot she naps for about 15 mins.

I wondered where you were today Myjob!

Evening. wow how much chat! I can't keep up, I have a hazy idea of naps, bunnies, new wardrobes - and hello red & rhian!
I really need a computer that works for more than 10 minutes at a stretch before imploding....
Hope all well, J suffered no ill effects from her plummet from the sofa, and the DS's are winding me up big style. and I've done shedloads of washing. That about sums up my life day
Going to have a very large glass of wine now.
will be back if PC lets me.

Urgh.....Watching Phil snog Shirl is putting me off my fish and chips.

RedElsie. Welcome to the mad house. My DS was also born on the 8th October. What a fab day How are you feeling about going back to work?

CSWS, if you want to catch up, it should still be on the channel four website. I missed the episode when baby Evan was born. Sky+ playing up. So I watched it the other day. Did you watch it last night? Brilliant.

Myjob did you have fun on the farm?

MM, leave the cats alone. They only poo in your garden because they love you.
All is quiet here. I love the silence. Dh should be home soon with take away.
Perfect.

Only criticism of light is that it only lasts 8 hours of colour changing (glows red once battery low), where ideally I would have it last 12.

Big kiss for ronshar. I have another 8 days to watch my missed episode!

I saw some similar lights in Ikea. Not sure if they changed colour though. Do you leave the light on all night?

Ah yes I think I have seen similar in Ikea too, but they are just lights I think, they don't 'glow' as such.

M is sitting next to DH playing with an empty wipe packet and patting the sofa. She should have been in bed two hours ago. She is absolutely knackered but will not settle. She is being a pickle because her daddy is home, I'm sure of it. Ah good, DH is supposed to be watching her and I just noticed that she was chewing on a wipe. Good-O!

evening all, not much on today, dd normally has a music class on fridays but it was cancelled today as the teachers son has just come back from mexico and she was advised to stay away from children for 7 days.
so i have spent the day washing and ironing, exciting stuff.

i am having to stop myself from adopting a chicken, i have just seen an appeal for homes for a battery farm that is closing and needs homes for 11000 hens. i'd love some hens but i only have a yard and i think they need grass.

mm i hate cats too, evil things that shit in my garden and kill the birds as well. shoot them all i say.

red - welcome to our chat! My ds has really bad eczema all over, but to stop him scratching his face at night I put socks on his hands (if you get longish ones with decent elastic they are much harder for them to pull off than scratch mitts). Unguentum M is a good emollient cream for the face.

MM - that sounds just like dh's idea of 'watching' the kids .

Must dash - Matthew is really unsettled tonight, itching like mad

Heather you sound like my mum. It must be an Irish thing

Yes to light on all night.

Another early night out of the window. Have been engrossed looking at summerhouses. We seem to be veering away from the prefab concrete garage that we were going to get (to go where the shed was before it burned down) to a summerhouse and a small storage shed!

ronshar - what way? does she like hens too?

No she really hates cats and is always thinking of ways to get the cat who poo's in her garden.

CSWS go for the summer house.

I wondered that Heather. Or is it the cat hating? If the latter, then not an Irish thing per say. My Italian Granny hated cats more than anyone I've ever met. She swung one round by it's tail and threw it over the wall when she caught it pooing in her garden. That cat never came back!!!

CSWS - I would love a summer house. DH wants a hot tub. He's so chavtastic bless 'im. We have a brick built shed thing in the garden which, again when we have some actual money, I want to knock down. We never use it and it takes up loads of space. I really want our garden done. I want a 'wild life' friendly garden. Without a pond, obviously!

Hello and welcome Red!

Heather - There was a man on gardeners world this evening and I think he had his hens on bark chippings, so I don't think you have to have grass.

I nornally like cats but there's one that is contantly shitting in my garden. I run out and turn the hose pipe on him as soon as I see him now in the hope that he'll take the hint.

We had a lovely day. Been in central London with my sister, then dp came and joined us after work. We were sitting on the south bank drinking wine in the sunshine. It was lovely to be out on a Friday night for a change. Ds was really happy and well-behaved, but was an absolute bugger to get to sleep and has only just gone down. Serves us right for thinking we can be all continental. How do they manage in Spain where the children stay up till really late?

Oooops... too slow chicken merengo!

ARGH! M is awake again. I give up! Bloody pain in the bottom! She is full of cold and feeling sorry for herself.

I will not tell my mum that tip MM. She would enjoy swinging cats far too much

Aubergenie, you lucky lady. A lovely day out restores the spirit.

So much for catching up today! i don't know how you all manage it. Anyway, we've put an offer in on a house, DD sleeps 3 times a day and then feeds most of the night, DS very cute with her - listed her as one of his best friends, came running to get me when she fell over saying Mammie, come, quick, Siesa, head, hurt!! Star I reckon DS changed from 3 sleeps to 2 at about 10 months and then to 1 sleep at about 14 months and still needs it now at 27 months.
CSWS def a summer house, much nicer than outhouse. Not that keen on cats either because of them pooing in our garden but DS seems to love dogs at the moment.
Large glasses of wine all round - it's Friday!
