Hey-let's make it a party!!!!!! xx

Ahhhh, that wouls be SO nice!

I say when our babies are all 18 we all go on a cruise

 

[A3my]

sarah - bless your Dad!!! especially the painting part my Dad is colourblind too - ooh I wonder if Alex and Oliver will be!

Mork - you're on, lets party!!!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Oohhh Amy thats a point! Do they do a test or something, or do I look for upside down trees in Oliver's pictures

 

[emera35]

Sarah - Think they'll test for colour blindness if a child starts exhibiting the classic symptoms (upside down trees being one of them ) FIL is colourblind, really really badly! He always asks me what colour my clothes are Typically things like "thats a nice top, is it red?" "Erm no Bob its blue..." I think the most common one is the red / green blindness, but he has trouble with yellow/blue too, it seems weird to me, everything must just look sepia toned or something?

Always a funny story about OH's great uncle though, who was painting a room for OH's great gran in the 70s. She had chosen dark green (70s ) and he nearly finished, but ran out of paint, so went in the garage and found another tin the same colour. When his Mum got home she went totally mental when she saw the room. All dark green, but then with some bits gone over and filled in with dark red! Its how they found out he was colour blind Its all through OHs family, so i wonder if Roh could be? Not sure, is it one of those things passed on through the maternal side?


Well, went and had Roh's jabs done this morning, i say jabs, it turned out to be jab... I'm really confused. I said i wanted to have the MMR seperately, then got a bit of a lecture about why it was totally safe to have all 3 injections together. I felt really pressured actually, which i wasn't very happy about. Anyway, then for some unknown reason, she only gave him the one injection, and didn't give him the menengitis one? I don't really get why not? So now when i go for the MMR, he's got to have that one too... grr. thats not really what i wanted. I didn't realise until after that she'd not done both the boosters, as she went on so much about the importance of having them that i got muddled and thought they'd put it all into one.
I'm feeling kind of annoyed though, because it really should be my choice what they put in his system when, its not like i was saying i wasn't planning to vaccinate him or anything. Meh, whole thing pisses me off. Anyway, Roh was very brave and didn't cry much We went to the zoo afterwards and had a good giggle at the meerkats and the monkeys

 

[A3my]

emera - great story about your OH's uncle but to the practice nurse it is a personal choice, he's your son!! and the fact that she didnt even listen despite feeling the need to lecture you so Roh gets 4 vaccines altogether next time. Well I'm glad Roh was OK with his booster and enjoyed the zoo

so we may have a little batch of colourblind boys

ALex woke at 5.30am today I've felt like a slug all day. We did manage to get out for a little bike ride and a walk in a gorgeous village near us despite us all being grumpy from lack of sleep

 

[maybebaby3]

emera at the colourblind story! my dad is colourblind. erin mistakes blue and yellow, which i'm a bit worried about! sorry that they messed you around with the jabs

amy - owen woke at 5. i managed to get him to sleep for a while after that. then he woke at 6 and i know what you mean about feeling like a slug. we went to see cars 2 at the cinema and i thought i was going to fall asleep

today i had to punish erin. she refuses to eat her food and only wants chicken nuggets and rubbish. i told her she couldnt come to the cinema to see cars 2 if she didnt eat. i think she thought i wouldnt follow through, but i did. i took dylan and left her with danny. she cried so much coz we sent her to her room when she refused to eat that she cried herself to sleep. i felt pretty shitty but it is for her own good. she needs to eat well. tonight she ate all her food without much fuss so i hope i've frightened her into seeing that i mean business.

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah - i like the cruise idea

 

[Mork]

I am SO up for a cruise-do we really have to wait till they are 18 though??????????/!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe - yay for Danny taking Erin for those couple of hours
xx

 

[A3my]

maybe - well done for following though, Kerry says I am rubbish at doing that how was cars 2?

 

[maybebaby3]

mork - he took her to his mum's when she woke

amy - cars 2 was like james bond a bit over the head of the more little ones. my friend ended up taking her 3 yr old out before the end as he was bored. dylan liked it though. in a way i'm glad i punished erin as she'd have been fidgety and not enjoyed the film too much i think

 

[Mork]

uh oh-jelly babies have replaced choclate digestives!

 

[maybebaby3]

uh oh-jelly babies have replaced choclate digestives!

i have eaten so much crap today i am too embarassed to even write it down here

 

[L-C]

Oh my goodness I am the worst when it comes to food!! Please don't I've scoffed a whole packet of chocolate fingers today... is almost a daily occurance now

Been shopping for new bras today, it was so depressing seeing my reflection in the mirror, it's nothing to do with Will either it's piggy eating pure and simple. Not sure how to stop though...feeling a bit rubbish x

Emera - at the nurse, it's so confusing as it is, that's naughty of them to push you x

Amy - poor Alex and his nose. Hope you had a bit more of a lie in this morning thanks for your comment about my avatar x

Maybe - I'm dreading disciplining the whole eating thing, already if Will sees something tastier in the background he refuses dinner and kicks off. Glad to hear it works though and reinforced the fact you did the right thing, even when it's not nice

Hope you've all had a nice weekend. Kitchen is being started tomorrow, I'm so excited about cupboards and no more boxes.

 

[Mork]

Oh lc I can empathise with you-I am so bad at disciplining myself with food and at the moment it's worse as I justify it by using the breastfeeding excuse maybe we need to name and shame ourselves in here to give ourselves a kick up the bum?!!!
Hugs xx

 

[maybebaby3]

i have eaten a packet of mini party ring biscuits and 2 mars bars

 

[emera35]

I'm currently scoffing a Starbar!

 

[maybebaby3]

you're pregnant emera! you have an excuse! i on the other hand was supposed to be doing weight watchers

 

[hope&faith09]

Your all talking about food - I have been so naughty the last few weeks and now I am feeling so fat I am so scared I am going to look like an elephant in my wedding dress. Am super stressed at the moment with wedding bits.

Why are men so useless ... Dave was given a list of things to do but he hasnt done any of them yet and there is less than a week to go. He is currently on the phone to his dad about suits and stuff but I asked him to sort all that out weeks ago. Argh men!

Hope everyone is ok. x x x

 

[Sarahwoo]

I just ate some nutty Galaxy

We had another busy day, collecting chair covers from weddings and things! We called at a car boot sale too and I bought a Hippy Chic hip seat for two pounds! And its new! I'm soooooo pleased, I really wanted one! I borrowed one when we went around a national trust property on holiday and thought it was great

Right, I better crack on, I have so much to do!

 

[A3my]

I ate two big bags of malteasers I would have just bought one but they were 2 for £2.50 an obviously both packs needed eating becasue I am starting to be good tomorrow (I've said that everyday for the entire summer )

maybe - so cars 2 wasnt as good as cars? mmmm mars bars

LC - do you still like Freddos or have chocolate fingers replaced them? I dont know how to stop pigging either i have no willpower, i tell myself no but then just rebel against myself woohoo for the kitchen

mork - well jelly babies are fruit flavoured so its kind of better than biscuits

H&F - so Dave is sorting suits 6 days before the wedding oooh 6 days!! how exciting - I bet you'll look gorgeous, cant wait to see pics

sarah - I've never heard of the hip seat so I googled it - wow it looks fab and you got it for such a bargain price

we went to a family BBQ today and my cousin announced she is 3 months pregnant Alex fell and bumped his nose again he's funny, when he's had enough of being somewhere he starts saying bye bye to everyone and points to go home
