In honour of sausage's forthcoming nuptials, with a nod to imminent weaning.

A-reet everyone? Mine's a Mai Tai.

Ta.

S has got 2 teeth!!!!???? Spooky, no wonder she's not feeding today, must have been so uncomfortable. C has had greenish poo today {tim), I think the teething must have something to do with it.

C also had only 1 nap today, but it was a 3h one.

Right, gotta help dh now with the dcs, they're still up after our trip to the pub.

Hi all

essence - hi! yip it seems like a really friendly thread! sounds like your DS is doing great, was he having trouble gaining weight? hope you enjoyed your spa day! My sister took me to a spa for my 21st but haven't been to one sine, would love to go again though as it was pure bliss!

ethereal - I think I actually made my first post the same day I joined as I needed advice on a few things about G (my DD).

salem - glad you ended up posting!! are you a midwife btw (probably seem a bit dim asking that but wasnt sure it thats what mws stood for!). Is that your DD who you had in May that has a tooth?! Sounds like she coped with it well! No sign of any in my DD....yet!

pulapumpkin - hi there! no, Im not on facebook!! The only times I ever play really is just at home with DP (haven't managed a game since DD was born though haha!).

sausagemonster - hey thanks! I thought that up all by myself . Oh are you getting nervous then?! My wedding is booked for next July but think we are going to cancel it - not because we dont want to get married anymore, just because of costs etc. As Im on mat leave atm we haven't been saving anything at all so we are thinking we will put it off for a year. Try not to worry about your DP too much, although tbh I'll probably be exactly the same when it comes to my DP's stag do - actually when we first got engaged all of his friends were talking about a weekend in Poland . But now that we have DD Im sure he'll just have to make do with a wee night somewhere rather than a full weekend . Do you have everything sorted for the big day then or are there any last minute things that you need to do?

runningscared - hey there

llareggu - glad you are feeling better !

BTW - is anybody else watching X factor just now?

EtherealFiByTheSea · 10/10/2009 20:24

zombie my blog is very neglected too
running that blog! lmao.. must have a better look when i next put the laptop on

llaregguBOO · 10/10/2009 20:31

Yes, Texas we're watching X Factor here.

Facebook is it broken? I can't get on.

EtherealFiByTheSea · 10/10/2009 20:31

XF mememe and hopefully G is drifting off to sleep for the night now.. she's had a bit of a feeding marathon and is now sleepily sucking herself off to sleep

2 teeth spooky

ScarySpangleMaker · 10/10/2009 20:36

running some of the things on that blog are not right.

Salem I was sure that was C on FB! Congrats on C's shiny new tooth.

I am trying a new bed time routine with H. Up til now we've been putting him in his moses basket in the living room when he starts getting sleepy then transferring to the cot when we go to bed. It works really well, but he's now getting too big for the basket and so I thought I'd tackle the change to putting him down in the cot while DH is away so there are less distractions. Only DH went away on Tuesday and I've wimped out until tonight It's not been brilliantly successful - I fed him then put him down sleepy but awake, but he woke himself up and was chuntering away and throwing himself around the cot for an hour or so. It's been quiet for 10 min so I've been down to check... he's upside down (foot to head) in his cot and has clearly been wrestling with a toy elephant, but now seems to be still. I daren't get close enough to see if he's asleep in case I wake him again. Will go for another peek in a few minutes.

llaregguBOO · 10/10/2009 20:38

Oooooh, what a choice. Sweet, I think.

ScarySpangleMaker · 10/10/2009 20:39

Ooh cross posted with loads of you. Spooky 2 teeth [one for each tooth]

OP posts:
runningscared · 10/10/2009 20:42

choc sorry! that's why I mentioned the slight rudery, didn't want little eyes or anyone else to be offended

fi am sure that nothing you have made will be there, you strike me as far to classy

spookyold... teeth? blimmin heck, A has some catching up to do! She is dribbling a lot and anything that gets near to her gets chomped on.

llare glad you're feeling better

Ok so can anyone help me. I desperately need some new tops. Long sleeved T-shirty type things would be good. I like boden but can't afford it so any suggestions for similar places I could look?

RIght, really should spend a bit of time with DH before I go to bed in oooh 20mins time. night all x x

ScarySpangleMaker · 10/10/2009 20:42

llaregguBOO · 10/10/2009 20:51

running, I hadn't been into Next for years but went in last week and bought a couple of tops that are perfect with leggings. I'd link but there are hundreds of things on their website and couldn't find them.

EtherealFiByTheSea · 10/10/2009 20:54

FrightNightFebes · 10/10/2009 21:12

ScarySpangleMaker · 10/10/2009 21:12

Fi it was just a little whinge, all now quiet, fingers crossed it stays that way! Enjoy your popcorn

OP posts:
EtherealFiByTheSea · 10/10/2009 21:22

I made rather a lot got a bit carried away in how much I put in the pan... the lid started to rise off the pan and the popcorn started to fall out! lol fortunately it stopped popping shortly after!

llaregguBOO · 10/10/2009 21:43

I'm sooooooo cold!

ANyone watching X Factor? They are being so nice to the contestants, it isn't really worth watching. I only watch it for the arguments.

EtherealFiByTheSea · 10/10/2009 21:46

llare they did have a barney of sorts over the 4 girl bands clothing... the girls thought they dressed too provocatively but they boys said ignore them

llaregguBOO · 10/10/2009 21:49

Oh yes, I forgot about that one. Good for Danni and Cheryl on that one.

llaregguBOO · 10/10/2009 21:49

How repetitive was that post?

HeadlessLadyH · 10/10/2009 21:57

Evening ladies.

Just skimmed the last 24 hours as I am on third glass of wine (hic!).

But can I say helllloooooo to texas. Love your name! Hope you stick around and hope you find us a bunch of lovely friendly ladies.

Not stopping long as wathcing X factor on sky plus, but felt had to celebrate my 4Lb weight loss in 5 days with you all. THE DIET IS WORKING PEOPLE!!!!

So to celebrate have cracked open a bottle of sauvignon blanc. And prob undo all that good work. Have been good food wise though today. Been to Chatsworth House with my parents - my dad is over on a visit from SA and thought we should make the most of the lovely weather today.

Popcorn is v tempting fi. I'll have a bowl pls.

Am up to the first of the boys so far in XF.
Have liked everyone so far even the strippers! But this one does need to stop with the blubbing.

Hope you all having lovely evenings. x
