Went into the city for DH's 20years (today)with the bank morning tea this morning... stuffed now... house a mess as usual.
Nic: Oh yes, Niall has had a thing for the toilets for months... basically as soon as he could crawl and pull himself up. It is driving me nuts. All my kids did it... just as you describe. problem here is that one toilet has a sliding door which he can open... the other one is in our ensuite which leads directly off his nursery and there is no door What I hate most is when he pulls the toilet roll off the hook and drops the whole thing into the toilet... and when he unravels it which happens at least once a week. Niall is also a bin boy... looks like an old tramp as he bends over right into it. *sigh* there's nothing for it but to wait it out... they eventually get over it... forget when, maybe at around 20 months? When Wade was at this stage he used to throw his dummy in constantly which woulkd really annoy me but I'd soak it in Milton for 24hrs and it was ok. But get this for gross: today after i got home I let the boys play outside for a while whilst I hung clothes on the line. They got filthy which was ok and expected so I showered them both when i had finished. So then i had 2 clean and fresh boys. I put on ABC kids for Wade and popped Niall in the porta cot. I had grand plans of doing a big tidy-up. A few minutes later i noticed a pooey smell from Niall so picked him up to sniff... in the process my fingers squished into it... UGH! I carefully pried open his nappy to see how more there was inside... but get this: there was none and the nappy was clean! It was a disposable and on properly, no gaping. How on Earth did the poo get OUTSIDE the nappy? There was nothing on the lambskin, a little inside his trackie pants which he had removed. Weird. The only thing I can think of is that i put on a pair of pants (that were lying on the floor near the change table) that DH had removed last night due to a poo accident and not told me. I went to DD's school last night for a concert with her... DH dealt with both boys. Anyhow, it was pretty demoralising after thinking Niall was nice and fresh and clean And now I've got the CBF's 'cos I swear everytime I lift a finger to try to do something around here i am sabotaged Honestly that's what it feels like these days: if I do anything my work is immediately undone so why bother... If I bothered to try to clean the ceiling the kids would find a way to muck it up within a day.... and I DO need to clean the ceiling above me because Niall recently reached up and grabbed DH's hot chocolate when he was sitting here one night and between them both the contents of the mug was flung upwards leaving a brown spray that needs to be cleaned up. Hmmm... ok now I have the guilts... I'LL DO IT then :P but mark my words....
Maya: I would love to buy some Tupperware, you are right, it sells itself, but I'm in "making do" mode as you know. Is there a website catalogue? I might check it out though...
Ali: Might be able to draft you up an avatar this weekend I'll email it to you for approval/modifications before sending it into AstroLady (Kath) for uploading. Glad you've decided to join the platinum club, look forward to seeing you in the plat threads
