My goodness me you ladies have been busy. Has taken me most of the evening to catch up . Don't you have other things to be doing ...?
Only myself and Christmas to blame for my absence but have made decent progress, although still tons to do. Work ridiculously hectic too. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow dizzy. DD1 beside herself.
V. exciting lwhf!
Sorry to hear about you Mum VG. How is she today? Glad your Dad's improved a bit sazzles. My grandpa was equally miserable about long-lasting Christmas present for about the last 10 years. It was the year he asked for something that didn't fit in with imminent demise that he died.
What a nasty welcome to the world of car ownership hp. I reversed into a car full of nuns a week after passing my test . Huge shock and livid mother were the worst of it thankfully but I'm still a pretty tense, fearful driver. Useful thing to be able to do though and even nicer to have your own car to do it in.
So pleased to hear the DCs are being gorgeous no1 and you had a good night away.
It's a tricky age isn't it with some of our DCs starting to be rather less sociable with others. DD1 has hit occasionally and it's the thing I find hardest to handle as I definitely don't turn a blind eye, but that means it often escalates with her enjoying the attention. She is a bit older though, and it seems to have stopped pretty much now . A friend's son is dreadful with it though and I really really feel for her as she's doing everything we all suggest and is a great Mum. So tricky.
What a lot of ungrateful NCT ladies there are in your area oops. I'd be round like a shot with a spread like that (and the wonderful company too of course ).
Must say I'd find those sort of comments from well meaning relations v. hard to handle QoD and Oops. I'm pretty strict about chocolate, squash etc., partic. with DD2. I'm less anal more flexible than I used to be and tend now to subtly try to remove anything I'm not happy with or distract them. If it's going to cause a fuss though I employ the 'a little won't harm them' approach. An advantage of having no family nearby is that they don't interfere .
Sorry T hasn't been well miamla. The paediatrician at the hospital actually said that until they're about 2 they're not really effective. Can't remember the reason why, but if you want to go with that, don't feel too bad about T not being too up for taking it.
to everyone else!
Right, shall leave you alone now and sit in at the length of the post.
