rach, it's not croup is it? usually characterised by barking seal like cough.

can't catch up till later, but was just lurking and reading.

Doing a baby/kids stuff table sale tomorrow (set up by a local mum as she hated the fact that she had to donate 30% to the NCT!!) and have spent the last few days organising stuff for that; am bloody knackered, but we have two car boots full of stuff (and that's only the tip of the iceberg )

DH has been irritating me by trying to sneak in some stuff that I told him I didn't want to sell . four times I have taken it out of the box, explaining gently (then not quite so gently!!) that the great and the good of Bramley would not appreciate some BNIP nappy accessories.

and the sleep improved a bit last night, in that bumble slept till 5.15

he missed his afternoon nap today so fingers crossed he will sleep later tomorrow. I have an inlking the waking is connected to his love of his dummy and that he is losing it, but waking up too much befire he finds it and then not wanting to go back to sleep. not sure how to cope with it, as my older two never had a dummy beyind three months old.

will catch up properly over the weekend...

oh, but SS pressie is in hand

ooooh, go to bed if you're up at 6am!!!!

Very good with menthol type oil in if you have any to hand. Oilbis [sp?] type thing. If its a shocker of a cough fill bathroom with shower steam and go sit in there with him. Disclaimer:After ringing NHS direct for advice of course

The way we spend the wee small hours.....

I wish you all sleep. Rachel especially and me too as leaving with dh and 2 dc's at 6am [yeah right] to visit friends about 4 hours away.

Se you all Monday ish.

<<waves>>

Night night, sleep tight, don't let the Bedbugs bite!

night tree, thanks for tip about bowl of water, as he's in our bedroom with at least a bit of heating on in there.

Oh rachel. I hate that barking seal cough thing.

Get some bowls of water on a radiator to moisten airways.

Have I mentioned how kind you are recently??

Night all. For God's sake don't dribble on any beautiful nappies during your sleep in the nappy store Swampster.

Must try find pic of dd1 [4yo] using softeeeees as pillows in her car seat, on the long drive back from babyshow last year.

I was about 30 weeks pregnant this time last year, about to start a new job and dh was about to be made suddenly redunadant with 1 hours notice. A week today infact. What a year. Thank God he is now working [if for a third less, now under 20k ]

Slightly off nappy topic!! Night all! x

I hate sposies! Just had to take a soaking wet vest off Clement - thankfully the fleece sleepsuit was still dry, acting like the waterproof layer for the damp mess within! I do want to attempt some cloth on him next week, and just hope the "eczema" doesn't get worse, since it's not even perfect with the dreadful paper nappies.

On a side note, poor Clem is barking like a seal! We've all had cold/flu for over a week, and I finally thought we were getting back to normal today. But this cough sounds really nasty! Just hope nothing serious has settled in his chest! We've all had a bit of cough, but nothing like what he was almost gasping for breath with a few minutes ago!

Well im off to bed so burp quietly please and close the door once you have finished raiding!

Rachel thats really nice of you! What else do you have? lol

Right all have a good weekend! Catch you later

In the dark, all bugs are grey.
