written out a jobs list with the title, "This you will bloody well do today". Without the crossing-outs.

I am getting far too good at ignoring jobs lists.

I hope it works. hmm

grin I think dgd is making sure that there are no siblings! She co sleeps and will not sleep in her cot! Also wakes a lot in the night, wanting breast feeds!

jeni I misread your post and thought you meant DD kept bursting into tears, I was going to suggest she did a pregnancy test grin
I have one looming on the 12th too, I am dreading it. "DC keep saying what do you want to do ?" Forget it springs to mind but DD in her 40s doen't think 66 is that big a deal. Hah, just wait.

nanachrissy I like your zodiac party idea - that way, anyone who has a birthday looming can be included smile

DS1 was a moaner from the day he was born but when he got to 18mths it was as though the switch had been turned off Blissgrin

DD2 used to cry a lot. hmm

Needed a lot of entertaining. hmm

I've had a look in my old Dr Spock book. Is she used to you yet? Says they get more wary of people they're not so used to at about a year. But she knows you by now doesn't she?

I expect it's a phase.

jeni Wed 02-May-12 18:22:40

Thanks. I thought teeth as her two top ones are erupting. The iPad stops her crying, I have things like sight and sound and laser lights installed and she's fascinated by them. When she sees me, she looks for the iPad!
Not cupboard love but computer love grin

glammanana Wed 02-May-12 18:16:18

jeni could it possibly be teeth,maybe the bigger ones or on the funny side maybe she is practicing how to be a "diva" and get undivided attention as all little girls should getsmile I love that age still small enough to cuddle but not big enough to escape from you.Here's hoping she brighten's up soon.xx

Mishap Wed 02-May-12 18:10:34

Poor little scrap - I wonder what has brought that on?

Perhaps she has a pain somewhere? - or has lost something? - or her nappy is too tight? I often think how frustrating it must be for babies and toddlers not to be able to say if they have an itch or something.

Hope she chirps up soon.

jeni Wed 02-May-12 18:01:40

10months.

imjingl Wed 02-May-12 17:54:57

How old is she now jeni?

jeni Wed 02-May-12 17:47:54

I've been up to Gloucester to see dd and dgd, for some unknown reason she kept bursting into tears!
Dd said she'd being doing it all day when anyone looked at her!
Any bright ideas?

Annobel Wed 02-May-12 17:34:44

A year, Mishap? You really do it so often? shock

Anagram Wed 02-May-12 17:23:52

That was very sudden, Mishap shock. You didn't actually get into the freezer, did you.....?

Sorry, I hope you feel better soon. smile

Mishap Wed 02-May-12 17:14:01

I very virtuously cleaned out the fridge and the freezer and also the larder and another food cupboard! - quite a feat since none of these have been done for about a year!!!

It is obviously very bad for me, as I am now laid up with bad cold and laryngitis - cannot make myself heard at all.

I will resolve never to do such mad things again!

nanachrissy Wed 02-May-12 16:41:43

Maybe,we should have a zodiac party every month? That way no one would be left out or have to reveal their real age, just their virtual age! grin

whenim64 Wed 02-May-12 14:03:54

....or even misses out!

whenim64 Wed 02-May-12 14:03:05

We won't miss you out Ariadne. We'll put something up to ensure no-one can escape mises out grin

Ariadne Wed 02-May-12 13:50:03

Will be over for the party, but will need to be reminded....smile

Anagram Wed 02-May-12 13:31:59

What a trouper! wink

Greatnan Wed 02-May-12 13:24:38

Mmmm - coffee and walnut cake, the only cake I like. I had lots of it in NZ at Christmas as my daughter had a glut of walnuts.
I have watched The Wright Stuff, had a one hour walk and made my lunch.
No household chores to do, so I will spend the rest of the day reading, surfing and watching TV. It's a hard life, but I don't weaken!

whenim64 Wed 02-May-12 12:46:55

nanachrissy let's share our birthday celebration, then, and we can both claim we are still in our late fifties!! grin

glammanana Wed 02-May-12 12:31:32

I decided 2 years ago to stay 60ish thanks for the invite when I am very fond of walnut cake,well any cake if I was truthful.grin

nanachrissy Wed 02-May-12 12:23:51

When mine is on the 13th so maybe we could have a joint rave up? I however won't be 64, I'll be 66 a tad older wink

Anagram Wed 02-May-12 12:18:23

Might have to be nowim64 though?
