Are you watching Jeremy Vine norty? I have a friend on my Nov thread who is due to get hers out next week and was saying she was worried about it. I hope to god she isn't watching.

LatinDAISYcal · 30/09/2009 20:17

Well done jamlet .

DS kicked off when he saw Dd's chart whining about not getting presents for doing things, so I told him that I'll do him one for every time he remembers to wipe his backside properly, flush the toilet and wash his hands and I don't have skiddy underwear to put in the wash. He shut up whining after that

oooh, excitement here, bumble and I are going to be in the next TIPS newsletter as the BFing photo

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 30/09/2009 20:52

Oooh, I shall look out for that Daisy.

We've just watched Electric Dreams recorded from last night about a family living in a 1970s house with 70s technology. And we have been inspired to get out our as yet unused fondue at the weekend and have a 70s night, with a fondue and some snowballs!

teeheehee....tallulah has tickers on the tots forum

repeats I WILL resist, I WILL resist, I WILL resist

LittleMissNorty · 01/10/2009 08:19

FFS its 8.15am and I've had enough already (of DD). She just threw a wobbly cos she wanted a cuddle and I bent down for a cuddle instead of picking her up . WTF? She also keeps "playing with herself" and is making herself sore.....I'm trying to keep knickers on her, but she is pretty adept and undressing herself now

Well done to DD Jammy....hope it continues today

Fab pic in the newsletter Daisy. My DS was in M&B this month as well

Have I missed something re Jeremy Vine.....or is my brain just not turned on yet???

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 01/10/2009 12:26

I've been having problems understanding Daisy's posts too

And yes, they are incomprehensible at times aren't they Norty?

Well, one sticker and two accidents this morning. But lots of sitting on the potty, so that must be I guess? She is now napping with a nappy on. I'm done in though, having been awake, coughing, from 1am - 5am

ameRIAcansmooth · 01/10/2009 14:00

can you sneak a nap jammy, or will that make you feel worse?

took baggins to church group this morning. He is one of the "big boys" now. Lots of babies He was really clingy and not that into it really. Though he had his juice and biscuit

busy cleaning here, have picked all the crap up off the living room floro, and boxed it so I could hoover and mop, I'll sort it into it's proper homes when they are in bed I think. Nice clean conservatory too, all the playmobil in the drawers. It's a step in the right direction, though I have a long way to go before I'm happy with it.

DS1 going to a friends in the town where his school is tonight. DS2 having a nice girl from school over for tea (baggins is very excited cos he loves her)

TheNattyTheHippy · 01/10/2009 18:21

hoory for jamlet!
ellen is full time nappies atm, she wont hear of a potty going near her. she is fully capable, but she wants to 'be a baby like charlie' to be honest its more bother then its worth, shes in the same nappies as charlie so all it means is a bit more washing for me.

i have been horrible shouty mummy today

not coping well here, worried PND is rearing its ugly head again. am praying its just all the stress of tom starting school and michaels op. all mixed up with a bit of sleep deprivation.

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 01/10/2009 19:17

I think we are all shouty mummies now and then Natty . I know I was a lazy mummy today - we watched way too much cbeebies (amd Jamlet watched half an hour more than me as I fell asleep!) and didn't do anything more active than a bit of colouring. And I didn't think to plan anything for her tea so she ended up having a tin of Tweenies pasta shapes on toast for tea .

Tally for the day was 2 wees and 1 poo in the potty and 3 wee accidents. So not brilliant but could have been a lot worse. Will see how it goes tomorrow...

LatinDAISYcal · 01/10/2009 20:01

Jeremy Vine was investigating deaths after routine operations and the first one was a chap that had his gallbladder removed!! I realise that post only made sense if you were actually watching the programme

Norty, DD is forever delving about her nether regions as well; ignore and they will stop apparently.

Jammy, are you not feeling any better? I think you deserve a lazy day if you are feeling bad.

Natty, get yourself to the docs or HV and have a chat please; better to talk it out now even if it's just to hear "you're fine it's just life". Take care. Now what is that lush looking nappy on your latest FB pic? The plain turquoise one?

Day from hell here as well....

DD whined constantly from just before lunchtime until she was put to bed at 6.30. Everything was a fight and she kept doing things she knows she isn't allowed to; everytime my back was turned she was in the kitchen sink, the bowl of soaking school shirts (which have actually turned green with grass stains and I'm probably going to have to throw out), the knife drawer, taking tins out of the recycling (and cutting her finger again) and then three times she shoved bumble over and he has some lovely bruises on his head as a result. But on the plus side she got lots of stickers on her chart for asking for the potty/telling me she was needing a wee (that is a first) even though she had a hissy fit over who carried the potty upstairs every time.

They have all been in bed for over an hour and I'm still shaking.

MY ebay customer is being fantastic though and is sending the pram back so I can get it repaired and actually turned down my offer of a refund as he was already getting a bargain. Another one is being a pain though and wanting a refund, saying that the two items I sold her as new have been worn and wants a refund after paying £1.98 for goods that cost me £24 and that bumble only ever tried on then never wore

gawd, sorry, I'm all me me me me

Where's DH with the wine????

LatinDAISYcal · 01/10/2009 20:01

and I hope L is better today jbm

and hi Ria....didn't mean to ignore you

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 01/10/2009 20:27

Still feeling poorly (very) Daisy Very fed up with it. Off to bed now but not sure how much sleep I will get.

TheNattyTheHippy · 01/10/2009 21:13

TheNattyTheHippy · 01/10/2009 21:15

and jammy hope you get some sleep

LittleMissNorty · 01/10/2009 21:20

god I've had a day like that as well and have just finished a huge glass of wine.

DD is so fucking independent and won't let me help....she is sending me demented!!

See the GP Natty.......and perhaps you should as well Jammy!

Sputnik · 01/10/2009 21:31

This is why I'm leaving potty training for a bit!

Sputnik · 01/10/2009 21:35

I am a wimp

LittleMissNorty · 01/10/2009 21:57

How do you teach a toddler to take her top off....cos every time I try, she screams "no" and pisses off and cries when she gets her arms through the neck

ameRIAcansmooth · 01/10/2009 22:27

just a brief post to bookmark as I'm nearly cross-eyed stitching a card for DMs birthday - tomorrow! (note to self, do NOTleave things until the very last minute)

sorry for crappy days, whingey DCs, poorliness and general life. It's Friday tomorrow( that only works if you have an actual job doesn't it? Not quite the same appeal if you are a SAHM) Thought I might take the boys here on Sunday if the weatehr is good. (we have been provisionally invited to a BBQ at Dsis's on Saturday, as she hasn't got DM a birthday prezzie so she thought that would be ok instead)

ameRIAcansmooth · 01/10/2009 22:30

OK, not that brief

LatinDAISYcal · 01/10/2009 23:36

DD has been taking her top off for quite some time Norty; it's putting things on that causes the tantrums here; she won't let me help with anything. Gotta love their independance

LatinDAISYcal · 01/10/2009 23:37

oops, that wasn't meant to sound smug; more of an "I can't think how to teach them" as I never had to iyswim

ameRIAcansmooth · 02/10/2009 00:04

baggins did a lot of taking off his PJ top to go to sleep last week.

DH has found out tonight that the people he works for have put the business up for sale (they deinied it last week when he asked them about the rumour) and intend to move to Canada. I am because he likes them and he likes the job (and he is already giving it more care and attention than anything else in his life). Why does it happen to us every time

TheNattyTheHippy · 02/10/2009 16:07

ria it being friday tomorrow makes all the difference here, it means tomorrow i get a lie in

and for you and your dh, that really sucks!

ellen has been undressing and dressing herself a while, but then she has thomas to learn from so thats why.

we are having major tantrums here from both of them. i banished thomas to his room and made ellen lie down on the sofa under a duvet for an hour to get them both to calm down.

they are fighting so much atm, my nerves are a tad frayed
