to clarify - we own ours, not the downstairs neighbours.

If you damage the downstairs flat then yes, I think you would be liable, although your insurance may cover it. If your insurance co think that you have been negligent though then they prob won't pay out. You need to make sure that dh understands that.

Star - after 4 times I'm not surprised she was in tears. I would imagine there's something in your lease that covers your responsibility to keep everything in a good state of repair. Do you all have a joint insurance policy or individual ones?

Your neighbour will have to claim on her insurance policy and, if you've got separate policies, her insurance company might make a claim against yours which will push your premium up and, if you've got a joint policy, the premium will go up anyway if she's made a claim. So tell your dh that it's in your own interest to sort it out properly.

about your silly friend offering you ham. Even my very elderly late granny knew that veggies don't eat ham.

ok thanks. That helps

hello?

Morning all

Just catching up with thread

Thanks for hte messages on BabyG's birthday, we all had a lovely day - my wobblies were pushed aside and I actually really enjoyed the day. We went to soft play with friends and then did presentsa nd cake when DH and the DC came home from work/school. Cake was yum, I made a vic sponge and the DC iced it and decorated it - pics on FB later!

myjob just reading about your 3rd baby thoughts: I was exactly teh same. Had 2 healthy, happy children, I was fine after two good pgs and births and I decided to leave it at 2, that we had been so lucky.....then I got unexpectedly pg with BabyG

star I agree with teh "only" comments, my best friend growing up was an only and she was the most chilled out girl ever. The only "onlies" I've met who have felt they missed out tend to be the ones whose parents wished they'd had another. The fact htat you are aware of "only-brat-ness" and are taking steps to ensure it doesn't happen is great - no reason why Q should be a brat just becuase he doesn't have siblings

FWIW I found it mUCH easier going from 2 to 3 than 1 to 2

I don't get teh David TEnnant thing - he looks so BONY!

Fondant icing - mmmm I could eat it all day long

Feel a bit reading the posts about BF as BabyG hasn't had a bF for about 3 weeks now ( - I thought I'd be feeding him forever! His choice, not mine) but hte upside is he has sletp through EVERY NIGHT since we stopped!

star at the veggie comments - the first time I went for dinner at PILs house, MIL made me a cheese & ham pizza and said "just pick the ham off" lolol - I still get odd combos now, despite me telling her I am HAPPY to jsut have veg/yorkshries when she does a roast. She'll do a roast dinner and cook me ap iece of fish to go with it...and gravy

Welcome back MamaG. I was just laughing at your pork pie thread.

I'm off work today. We had yet another painful night with S waking every hour or so and I was up with him for about an hour from 3.30-4.30. He's still coughing and feeling rough I think, as he's refusing all food and very, very whingy. I've got a streaming nose and a throat like ground glass. Normally, I'd go into work out of a sense of duty despite being ill but I just thought f**k it - I'm staying home and resting today. It'll be better for me, S and my class in the long run. Feel very guilty though.

Did your DH get the leak sorted Star?

MamaG - He's sleeping through EVERY NIGHT?!

lol MamaG about your MIL's cooking

Thanks for the "only" comments - I appreciate that!

Agree that stopping bf definitely helped with longer sleeps for Q, too. His body got so used to just having a big drink in the middle of the night, then when bf stopped, he learned that he didn't actually need it after all. I did give him water from a non spill (so he has to suck) sippy cup when he had his horrible cough, though.

What's a yorkshire? You mentioned it as something you'd eat. I know where Yorkshire is.

Ouch! ouch ouch ouch! To "sewing up nipples" I'm a very visual person, sorry! ow!
50ft - first few nights were restless then sleep drastically improves. Unless a tooth is coming!

aubergenie - not yet. I washed my hair in the sink and sponge bathed this morning. I feel gross.

I'm sure stopping the night feeds was what made S start sleeping better. Of course that only lasted about 4 nights and it's all gone t*ts up again now, but I'm really (really, really) hoping that he'll be back on track once he's feeling better.

Star - A yorkshire is a yorkshire pudding - a kind of savoury batter thing that you have with a roast dinner and gravy. Delicious!

Right, dp's taken S out quickly. I'm going to have a sleep.

Star - A Yorkshire pudding. It's batter baked in a muffin tray so that they rise into little dish shapes. Very lardy, very yummy! Oh and I doubt sewing up my nips would hurt, I suspect that there is no longer any feeling in them! M does seem to sleep for longer when she has less feeds in the day. I think she eats more when she has less milk which would be an explanation.

All this talk of ham for veggies is reminding me of The Royle Family when the son is bringing his veggie girlfriend back for tea and they don't know what to serve. Nan says "She'll be alright with some wafer thin ham won't she?" I was trying to find a clip but I can't.

hmm,will have to try that out. So it's like a dinner roll, just fattier?
Have a good sleep, aubergenie

No, it's not like a dinner roll (whatever one of those is). It's like a pancake, but not flat.

mmmm, I want to eat one. Anything other than gravy that can go on it?

dinner roll

Ah right. No, nothing like that then.

I'm awake again now.

I can't imagine what you could have with it that wasn't gravy Star. Don't you like gravy?

All this talk of yorkshire pud is making me want to make a toad in the hole. (link for Star!)

star... i love to eat left over yorkshires with syrup.... but i suspect that is not the answer you were looking for

yuck sausages. Dh would like that.
Ksal that actually sounds yummy. But with maple syrup, like from home in Vermont or canadian maple syrup, not that yicky yucky golden syrup stuff. mmmmmmmm that does sound yummy.

Not even with veggie sausages Star? That's what I use.

duh, sorry. I'm just brain dead today. I'll have to try that - maybe tonight. Does it take a long time to make the yorkshire dough stuff? Anyone have a supereasy recipe? And do I cook the sausages first? Ohhh exciting!

Toad in the hole recipe I would serve it with something like cabbage tossed in garlic butter. Oh, I wish we were having that for tea tonight. I'm really in the mood for comfort food.

I think we'll have it with spinach leaves and carrots.
Does that make it a little healthy?
I can't believe I'm contemplating making this I bet Q can't have it though...
