Morning all, 2 nights, yes that's right 2 of The Cub sleeping to 0630 and guess what? That's right, snot strikes again and we were up at 0300!

BloodyBloodySickOfSnotTiggaxx

Bebe, I wouldn't do it but then I am a control freak and don't trust anyone else to be able to look after my babies. Except nursery. Left Hazel with DH for a few hours yesterday, with clear instructions to give her water (the cup was right there in the kitchen, with water in it already) and food. Well I came home to them happily playing, she was up for another 1 1/2 hours, then went to bed. I then went into the kitchen to find DH hadn't given her any water at all - so she hadn't had anything to drink between 2pm and 7pm! FGS , he said he simply 'forgot'! I had to wake her up again and give her a drink .

DH then cooked our dinner, I asked him to throw out an old tub of cream. He held up something, looked at it, said 'how odd, it's not even past its use by date yet', and threw it away. Well I didn't think much of it until I gave Hazel her lunch earlier and discovered that DH hadn't thrown out the cream, but a perfectly fresh tub of greek yoghurt that I wanted to give Hazel for pudding. FGS again, how can anyone be so stupid???? He looked at the use by date, but didn't notice that it actually said 'yoghurt', not 'double cream' on the lid???? Words fail me So there's me, with a screaming, hungry Hazel, and I thought I'd share with him what trouble he got me into, so I phoned him and told him that he'd thrown out the wrong tub and thanks very much. And did he say sorry? Did he fuck.

Do you think I was overreacting?

Bebe, have you done the test today?

hello hello

have been lurking but not much time to post. mum is a bit better but had a really bad patch at the end of last week where she couldn't eat or drink. My sister came down at the weekend and mum was feeling able to eat a bit again so we fed her as much as possible and I think she's on the mend, but still a long way to go before she's fit to have the major surgery. Very hard, not just practically in terms of getting over to her and looking after the boys, but also emotionally, she's very tired and confused and it's very hard to see.

also trying to book removals firms to come and quote and get things ready for the move. we seem to be haemorrhaging money at the moment and it's quite worrying, especially as I haven't had the meeting with my boss yet - that's on Wed.

going to tackle the nursery about the bills later on - and Orbit is teething again and spent about three hours of last night screaming.

am a bit tired.

bebe sorry to hear about negative test - hope you're ok.

Feier sounds like DH was a bit daft

Auld boo for tummy bugs - try flat Coke, always works for me, helps with the sickness and keeps fluids and sugar levels up (for adults obviously, not babies!).

Got to go, Orbit conked out before I could get any lunch into him but will wake shortly and want some, I should think.

x

Bebe how can you forget? It would be playing on my mind all the time.

TT gad your mums a bit betterI hope she continues on that route

Well, if I'm not then no big deal aye?
AND if I am, I've got to wait 8m for anything to change. I'm still on preggy vitamins and I don't eat anything which an itty bitty teeny weeny can't have...so (can you tell I'm dragging my feet?)
(and in my defense you really don't know how hectic getting my dh off to work is even without a screaming Moo)
I'll do it tomorrow morning.

Glad to hear your mom is hanging in there Turtle. You do too.

Auld. hope you're doing ok with your sick ones and trying to work too It's bad enough when they're sick...but when you're trying/need to do other things too... I feel for you babe.

Feiera glad my protectiveness is also possessed by someone else Your dh must have been having a real 'brain fart' weekend.

I haven't left Izy for more than 15 mins ever but I thought I was just a nutjob

Bronze

Get me outta here please.... does anyone else get random angry shouting from their babies? Hazel has been absolutely outraged all day and shouting and screaming at me but I have no idea what it's all about. It drives me NUTS.

TT glad your mum is feeling better.

Does anyone know if I can fill a p'script in England if it's been written in Wales (if I choose to go see dh like he's whining he wants me to)? do they expire? should I have got it filled earlier? Or is tomorrow ok? Or can I wait until Friday even though it's been written today?

dunno dunno mind's all a flutter cannot concentrate
baby's a screaming
husband's a whining
never know what to do or how to do it
and mommy is not herself (whoever that may be)

Evening all

Just been to see mum and dad for long weekend which was very hectic but very lovely. We were supposed to be going out for dinner last night and leaving O with my mum and dad but i couldn't do it so we went for lunch yesterday instead. it was lovely (and the first time we've left O with anyone but eachother). we were gone for 2 whole hours, we ate an unrushed yummy lunch in a pub, we did a bit of shopping and we didn't spend the whole time talking about o

No time to catch up properly but just wanted to say -

TT - hang in there. Thinking of you and your mum x x x

Bebe - do a test. Do it do it do it.

Fei - we still on for Thursday? Can't wait to see you and H. O yells at me too.

Does anyone else ever think:
I cannot wait until you stop wanting to eat paper!?

Forgot to say Izy is properly crawling now. He prooved it by shinning across the floor just so he could tip a box of toys everywhere. NO fair I want him to stay a baby. Ds1 was walking by now and I'm so so enjoying having a proper baby

Evening

My brothers girlfriend is pregnant. I had a missed call from him last night which is when they did the first test. They then did another 4 today just to make sure. This will be their first baby. I'm simultaneously scared and excited for them.
Wife, my brothers wife. They got married in November and I still keep saying girlfriend.
It seems everyone is having babies at the moment.

Bebe - Depends whether you think you will be able to relax. If you know you will spend the whole time worrying about Moo, there isn't much point in gong. How comfortable are you with MIL having her? My Mum is desperate to have the girls overnight. She's my Mum, I know how capable she is for goodness sake and yet I still can't let go.
Don't forget to do a test in the morning. "Plum forgot" That's such a cute expression.

Fei - You expect a man to take a proper look at things? DH can open a cupboard and the thing he is looking for practically fall on his head. He will still claim it's not in there.
No random shouting but when Holly doesn't get her own way she does little to dispel the myth about fiery redheads. She actually shook with anger when I wouldn't let her have the telephone earlier.

TT - My regards to your Mum. Please remember to look after yourself too.

Bronze - You're lucky. Holly is stair climbing and I have no bloody baby gates. And I expect Karahan can drive by now.

Bicnod - at your lunch for two. I don't remember the last time we went out to eat and didn't have crayons on the table.

Hello all, have been lurking, but blimey its hard to catch up unless you're reading every day.

Bebe - paper, little bits of dirt, plastic bags and my own hair...all of these i would like her to stop eating. In fact the hair one is a bit of a worrier tbh, she pulls out my hair so she can run it over her tongue and goes slightly in a trance like state with this wierd "hmm" noise over and over again, when i take it out of her mouth she cries...most odd.

With the anger thing, well only the hair thing or if i won't let her do something, she has this shriek that sounds like im trying to oull her leg out of her socket.....sometimes i think that the neighbours are going to call SS...oh dear!!

TT - glad to hear your mum is on the mend, it is a long slog but she seems like the kind of person who is positive and strong and in my experience that is half the battle won...much love and positive hippy vibes going out to you love...p.s. dont forget to let me know how the fw thing goes.

As for me, I am signing on my new flat tomorrow, have sorted out a new nursery for iris and handed in the letter of resignation for the old one. told housing benefit to stop the claim on here from 21/12/09 and told my current housing association that i am going to be moving out. have got a quote from a removal firm and am picking up the keys for the new flat tomorrow. Have then got an appointment with the carpet people and when that is all done, i can move in.

All done without DPs help. TBH, he is being a useless twat and i am seriously thinking of telling him where to go. I dont want to be single, but he goes out when he likes, drinking and god knows what...ive found texts on his phone in the past and know from the internet history that he is in contact with other girls on facebook. When he gets drunk he also sends messages telling them that he wants to be with them etc.....i got totally pissed off with him the other night and told him to fix up or fuck off...hm, the way it is looking now, its fuck off....ho hum oh well...at least illl be able to mn in peace!!!

Iris has another tooth so that makes 3 in total, but i think i can see another 5 coming through!! oh fun and joy, plus she is dribbling like anything and her poo is gone again (this time no contact from stupid SIL!) and on the rare occassion that she has managed to let me look into her mouth i have seen the buds that are the tell tale signs. No walking yet, but cruising all around...she can stand, but only if she doesnt realise it...cant believe we're nearly at the 10 month stage already...where did my baby go??

anyhoo, thats my garble done with, i will be popping in and out as much as i can ladies...hope youre all ok...anyone seen the welsh one?? x

morning all

Bebe plum remember this morning: Test!

Auld - we overlapped! I was there 93-97. I'm guessing you were an arty George Sq type rather than a KB Kid? I did Spanish & Islamic Studies.

KB - good luck with the house move. Not sure what to say about your DP. Sounds like he has a bit of growing up to do.

As for yours Fei - douffus. Youghurt? Cream? Duh.

As for leaving the kids with DPs or anyone else for any length of time - I can't do it either. With good reason I think. Last week DD ran into a hot iron which had been left plugged in on the floor by her father . And yesterday DH dropped the baby on his head . Grrrrr. (both of them are ok btw but neither accident ought to have happened0

Oh and Puzzle exciting about your bro. That was quick work.

Last week I learned of 5 friends being pregnant for the first time. One with identical twins.

It's going to be a babytastic year! Just not for me this time. .

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

A was sleeping from about 7:30 till 3 or 4am.
So last night I crashed into bed at 9pm, utterly drained, thinking "at least I'll get about 6hrs sleep in a row."

He woke at 9:15, 11, 1, 3, and thereafter is a horrible blur.

I think it's his second tooth coming through, but at this rate I may not survive long enough to see no's 3 and 4. I think Bebe's men in white coats will need to scoop me up.
Now I am off to teach 2 gruelling and demanding courses.

Wriggly, you are spot on, no KB for me. I did French & German. Funny that we overlapped!

Sorry about me,me,me post, I will catch up one day!

Bastard wanker builders next door just woke my baby up after he'd been asleep for just 5 mins by banging on his wall

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

OK - well get this. I woke up my own baby last night at 4am. Duh!!!!

He was soundly sleeping in his cot from 6:30pm but after the dropping on the head business I was lying there all night fretting. He normally wakes for a feed by 3:30. By 4am I couldn't take it any more so I went in and scooped him out of his cot. And neither of us have slept since.

bebe I have a partner that is worse than a small child to get to go to work. I always just get up and get on with it. He whines about having to go and he hates his job etc. He's hated every bloody place he's ever worked for - it isn't the employers it's him. He has unrealistic expectations that people will be grown ups and remember passwords etc. He never has had to face up to the real world. I've got to the point where I tell him to put a cork in that whine and suck it up as nothing will change.

bronze The Cub isn't showing any signs of crawling yet - want to swap?

King don't know what to say lovely - does he actually want to change?

Bicnod go let their tires down

Wriggles If that's the maddest thing you do as a parent you don't have much to worry about.

The Cub slept till 0130 but has a cold and this was the only time he woke up - this cannot last!

NotTheMostSympatheticPersonInTheWorldTiggaxx

New series of Shameless tonight. Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!

King - I hope everything goes smoothly today. And good luck with whatever you decide about DP. Tell me to sod off but not wanting to be single isn't a good enough reason to put up with behaviour that will make you unhappy. Has he taken on board anything you said?

Wriggly - He rang my Mum to break the news yesterday. She was the second person he called. They haven't spoken in over a year so it's lovely that this baby is already helping to build bridges.
My brother and his wife are a bit wild so we are all a little nervous but we just have to hope that this is the making of them.

Auld - That is rough. Fingers crossed for a better night tonight.

That's brilliant Puzzle. Babies can be incredibly healing. And how exciting for your DDs to be getting more cousins. I always wanted cousins but as the only daughter of an only daughter of an only daughter there were none! I get quite weepy watching DD play with hers.

Got to run there is a new toddlers music & dance class that we've started going to round the corner and DD is chomping at the bit to get there.
