The bottle of soy sauce that DH used is dated 'use by 2005'!![bublush] He said something along the lines of 'a fine vintage'. It is in bin.

cafecito · 03/04/2013 02:18

Shock MrsShrek! Grin

gosh no I am scoffing seaweed salad Hmm and listening to podcasts about boring things, while wondering if blinds or curtains are required in my bedroom (currently, have neither, as I killed my blind) and then wondering how on earth I would put them up

kitty - hope littlekitty asleep- does she have a temperature, rash or anything? could be teething? sounds rather under the weather...

Mrs- how are you?

cafecito · 03/04/2013 02:21

themidwife, I would enjoy your pelvis lesson I can't even remember if it was male or female Shock [bad bad doctor in training] I think I've had both, I remember fondling some ovaries (which seemed a bit furry) and playing with some sperm ducts...

cafecito · 03/04/2013 02:23

lemon hello studentdrarabella, in A&E, yes, well, you see, I was in my kitchen, and I slipped, and FELL ON THE LEMON and I couldn't get it out again. Honest, I fell at a really funny angle

jynier · 03/04/2013 02:29

Nutters! I've been outside looking at the amazing night sky over Camberwick Green; it's truly wonderful!!!

Hope that you all have a peaceful night.

cafecito · 03/04/2013 02:42

no night sky here *sniff

hope you're okay jynier

I just wrote a very long post re vajazzling, which turned into not being au fait with bikini waxing politics

I deleted it as I saw a brief glimmer of sense [bugrin]

jynier · 03/04/2013 03:12

cafe - PM'd you earlier; hope that you're ok!

I lied; am not vajazzled even though I live in Essex. It has not yet been made compulsory!

Camberwick Green has been on the national news twice this evening; firstly about the England cricket team captain (he went to our village school! My 3 DC went there and now my 2 GC attend!!) and, secondly, about the celebrity addiction treatment centre on an island which belongs to our parish! Such fame, indeed, for a tiny place!

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 03/04/2013 03:19

Evening all

I'm here and no she won't sleep still Sad She had 3 hrs then woke, resettled after an hour, woke after another hour, has just had a crying episode over some calpol and is now dozing on a kitty hill.

She doesn't have a rash or temp but does have a loose intermittent cough. She's breaking all 4 canines at once but she's not been this bad since she was 8months, just before she cracked crawling. At least tonight she seems to want to be settled rather than go down to play/cry like the previous 2 nights. Sad

She ran all over the supermarket this morning rearranging their shelves then slept for an hour then walked a half mile down the canal path, fed the swans, went to the park....It's almost like the more exercise she gets the less sleep she wants. Confused

On the plus side though she's still adorable and learned the sign for please/thank you today [proud] Grin

Ooh (va)jynier we use your salt Smile. We swear by it and refuse to use anything else.

Thanks for all the salt jynier Grin

Ok we seem to have another successful cot put down so I'll creep off to bed. Now doubt I'll be back in a min Sad

I'm looking on this as an improvement because she's at least falling asleep and going to her cot momentarily

Last night she put her reins on her head and stood by the front door pointing and saying "durr?" Translation; can we go out please mummy? It was rather gorgeousSmile

kitty - littlekitty has my full sympathy; teething pain is dreadful! My 3DC always suffered with terrible earache too!!! Hopefully, you'll both get some rest tonight!
