After bieng sleep deprived by what I assume was a colic baby last night as he wouldnt eat just moan and cry but liked to be winded and moved about. We I woke up to fiond my son sitting chatting to me on the bed then looked around and he had covered everything in talcum powder! Darrem was sleeping and covered in it,. the dog was even covered in it and the christmas tree and all his toys and carpet. Darrens boots where full of it and it was a big talc. Now I have more to clean but I did have a giggle about it.

the snow has reaslly messed up everywhere here, some people have no heat since before xmas I am lucky to have that and water though i did get the roof caving in so I didnt get off scot free.

It's good that despite everything you're still able to have a giggle about it DF... It's going to become one of your family legends, I'm sure! You'll have a great time reminding William of it when he's older

Hope it's not too difficult to clean - and that it doesn't take too long!

Careful with it in a vacuum hun, I know crackfill dust ruins them lol... talc might too. William lol... it would be hard to get mad with that gorgeous little face!

 

[Dragonfly]

no not mad I just laughed. All clean now and tree gone. nice and bright in here now and no more clutter. Was about to go mental. i think i need a smaller tree and will get a smaller real one next year. Room looks so much tidier.

 

[Eve]

You seen our tree.. the thing is huge and still in my living room... going today though damn dead thing! Next year we are waiting until like 2 weeks before Christmas and that's it, maybe less depending how it falls.

 

[Dragonfly]

I think December for putting tree up as I got fed up with looking at it so long. Yore was nice! Mine is a fake one thats to dence and makes the room look dark. I think real for me next year closer to Christmas then I wont be fed up and have to look at dead tree. I believe by new year everything should be gone and a new fresh start to be made not waiting till next week to take things done it feels like I am dwelling on last year in the new year.

 

[Eve]

Thanks, you make a good point. Mark should be home early today so I will get him to help me get everything down and back upstairs. I love real trees, but I think we will go a little smaller next year When are we going to see some more pictures of the boys?

 

[Dragonfly]

I type with one hand here I havnt even got time for pics now. feeding william at the mo. Alex sleeping and having a burnt pizza for lunch

 

[Eve]

Oh hun, I wish I were closer! You are one tough cookie, full of determination! Your children are very lucky to have you as their mom, as you are lucky to have them

I'm going to stay out of it, and that forum, people are just too stuck in their ways and blind I think, that forum makes me mad!!

 

[AnnaBanana9]

That thread wound me up too.... so I'm staying well out of it!

[Eve]

Well I am being attacked in the babyclub thread called something like, do people REALLY do this? I admit I smoked while pregnant... tried to quit many times, cut back immensly and everything and people are still being so rude about it, yet a mom admits to smoking in the same house (another room) with her baby and that's okay in their eyes? Making me feel like shit and I am really not enjoying it here anymore I know it was wrong, and don't need to be called down because of it. I don't like smoking, quit the day my daughter was born, regret smoking at all soooooooo much but the judgment in this forum is really getting to me

 

[Dragonfly]

I done the same I smoked when I was pregnant with william. I quit but feel bad I did smoke during it.

Me too but I wouldn't pass terrible judgment on you for it, kwim? Very good you quit though it's hard, but so worth it

[Miss_Bump]

Those threads get out of hand very quickly.

Anything CC CIO, BF bs FF, smoking, baby parking bays, weaning leads to closed threads

I was a heavy smoker and quit when I got my BFP andnits bloody hard to quit so well done to all who have quit

How is Kayleigh feeling today hun? I love your BF ticker


Evie has been off her milk today. Feeds for around 3mins then decides that's it.

Never been like this before but she seems happy enough with a few sips of boob

Hope she has a good feed tonight before bed. Got a party to go to but can't be bothered!!!!

Just watching Pineapple Dance Studios and that Trisha Walsh Smith woman is a nutter!

[Dragonfly]

Will have a look at that thread now.

Trisha one is a right loon! freaks me out.

 

[Miss_Bump]

Louie is so funny tho I think DH fancies him which is worrying lol

How's the house DF after the William and talc incident?
xx

 

[Dragonfly]

All tidy in here now, hoovered and all and the tree is gone so we have way more space which means my head is clearer. i cannot stand mess and clutter and it pisses me off, Toys are fine, they are expected in a house where kids are but not like every item of clothing we have on the piano, dining table and sofa and getting worse! feck that. As its new years ho one will be near that room now. Some neighbours where in loking and where in shock as they have the flat next to the one that came bust. Reason the water was running and running where as some didnt have water was that our supply comes from the castle water tanks and thats one big ass water tank! its fills the tower at the side whcih is a few feet from my back, I thought that was some fancy tower stair case. This place is full of weird things lol old heating systems are still there but not used, things no one would have ever had here , very few have gas here and its been here years. This place seems further ahead of anywhere i lived yet so old.

Alex kept me away all night crying i think he had colic. wouldn't feed or crying Seems ok now, sleeping all day but has woke for a feed and a poo a few times and no more crying. But someone always has to say, why dont you put him on formula so you can get sleep. I hate that reply! its not the end of the world waking and feeding my son, its a pleasure even if he dosnt want to sleep I may get annoyed but not enough to without the good stuff.
