All quiet in the Yoss house last night. SOCO was inconclusive as the bloke was wearing gloves. The babysitter has got an identity parade later this week. I'm sorry for posting about it on this thread, probably the wrong place.
Best thing is that the kids have been totally unaffected by it, they keep asking when the police and the doggies are coming round for a mince pie . Gotta also say that although I'm usually no fan of the cops they were brilliant.
Off to work now after 30 minutes of wacky races on the tv. Gotta love that show!
Bloody hell Yos, thats dreadful! Hope you're all ok now.
6am this morning. After years on building sites, i can handle that most days.
I've been awake all night... Not with LittleP though, but with a similar amount of drool, poop, and tantrums.....

Nightshift Dr? You still commuting to Pompey?
The alternative is living here........ 😉
At least i get a quick bike ride in from home-station station-work..
How's life round the ol' neck of the woods?

Sunny as usual 🙂 New house finished yet or you still staying with your folks?
6.05am today for my lad... "Daddy, i'm hungry, can i have some grapes please"... HAd his grapes and went back to sleep LOL.
Sadly for me... it was time to get up for work anyway.... so that was me done.
Sssh-I never lived with my folks 😉
We've been independent for several months now-still not unpacked it all!
Back on track..
I like the grape story! The oddest thing our lad wanted for breakfast was wasabi peas... Mental!

I feel pretty lucky having quickly read this thread.
My 1yr old daughter. Pretty much the same last night as every other night for the last 9 months, Went to sleep at 7:30, not a squeak. I went in to kiss her good night at about 11 and woke her up (idiot) so had to spend all of 5 mins getting her settled and asleep again. She then woke due to me getting up at 6:00 this morning (we sleep in the room above) so got I her some milk and left for work (she holds the bottle herself now so no need to even feed her!)
I guess she'll sleep till about 7:30, when Mrs transapp will be ready to get up.
The only differance to a normal night really was the waking up at 11. I think I have an angel child!!
So... anyone awake? 🙂 just rejoined the club... considering some audio books as even the reduced brightness on my screen makes my eyes hurty.. 🙂
finished night shift yesterday...now on the sofa as wife with sinusitis = snore monster.....!
DrP
Can I join this?
4 week Daughter does not yet understand night is for sleeping. Getting about 3 hrs sleep every day. Always up around midnight, Then eventually get her off around 5-6, then the 4 year old decides to get up 😯
Battling Colic last few days too & to top it of, both me & Missus have some viral flu type thing going on & she did her back in last night.
Ho ho ho merry Christmas 🙂
Crikey motorman! Luckily only got the ultra newborn permanent feeds and not liking Moses basket to contend with, least it means some enforced tv or stw in these idd hours whilst he's slumbering in your arm! 🙂
I've just given the wee barn a "midnight" 5am feast and now getting ready for a Bedgebury ride with another early riser 🙂 Thank you Mrs Wally.
I think mine has finally fallen asleep, heading to bed as soon as I find the Rennies to offset the Christmas cheese n crackers feast that I had in the wee small hours 😳 😆
I woke up at 0300, no fault of kids. Back to bed at 0500 and 5 year old starts singing Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer. Now down again watching Cbeebies Xmas panto. Thank goodness for PVRs!
Something wrong with me ?? What am i doing on the net on here at 6am !
Terrible night sleep Chinese bloke to blame .....
Will be out at 8am to catch the Christmas eve sunrise and egg the Chinese takeaway place ..... but still excited about my newish 29er ride ...
Merry xmas to all ..
5:20 here, she has dozed off againn but i am wide awake - if i go back to be she will wake up. sods law
Currently still at Pembury hospital with Mrs and lil' bullheart after her dramatic and unexpected entrance in 2011. I'm now beginning to understand exactly what membership to this exclusive club actually means...
She is sleeping soundly and has done all night. I've been up for nearly an hour because she has conditioned me to be this way.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR 😡
My two were up half past bloody four today. Thought I'd knackered them out with a 2 hour scooter ride yesterday but apparently not. Very excited little boys at the minute. I'm hiding under the duvet for an hour or so. 🙂
Fed little H at 3am....went straight off so skipped the nappy change...wakes at 6....not interested in bottle, by the time I realise he woke for wet nappy, he is wide awake................DOH
Daughters plan to enhance my performance when operating on minimal sleep seems to be working. Her recent sleep depravation techniques meant that when she woke earlier I got up, got her up, started getting ready for breakfast and only glanced at the clock briefly to see how much of a lie in we had had. Only then did I realise that it was... 3.30 am! Felt pretty good on the 4 hours until then so assumed I would be awesome come actual get up time (alarm at 6.30 to try and recover some normal routine whilst I am off for the holidays). Maybe awesome was optimistic but not too bad, and she is only just rousing now...
Considerable improvement on her recent screaming fits of the last few days that we haven't quite fathomed yet. Oh, and she is nearly 20 months now, so don't assume once they are sleeping through that you gave cracked it, it can come back again later. The 3 hours of sleep nights recently have made me all musty eyed and nostalgic for the good old days of a newborn 😉
for all my showing off leading up to xmas regarding yunki Jr and his 12 hours uninterrupted every night I am now paying a karmic price..
He's still sleeping through... BUT.. with Mrs yunki now 8 months pregnant and quite immobile and uncomfortable and grumpy through lack of sleep.. it has fallen to me to be the life and soul of the party as I steer yunki Jr (and the stranded Mrs yunki..) through our third and most exciting xmas as a family..
Only I'm flipping ill.. not cold and sniffles ill.. or man flu or overindulgence ill.. or run down and exhausted ill.. or even real flu or food poisoning.. but an inflammatory bowel disease which is very much a cunning combination of all the above but with added misery and discomfort.. and it could take weeks for the IBD to go into remittance..
It's now becoming a bit of a struggle and I'm wondering how long it will be before it starts to get me down.. aah well... at least there's another bambino on the way..
I think I'll just pop out for a morning ride for the sake of my sanity..
aah..
no I won't.. I'm weak as a kitten and my lower half feels like I've been run over.. and I'm almost guaranteed to poo myself anyway
Good morning and happy new year chaps.
Seems this year is going to start a bit like last ended....sleepless!
Here is hoping that next new years day there is a new and different membership!
Dont count on it. Our 5 yr old has been awake coughing the house down for the last week, nearly as bad as little brother who i'm up with now. Bless 'em
Happy new year RT! Coughs going here as well, just got them both down. At least youngest just wants to sit on the sofa watch tv at the moment so can rest then before he recovers and gets back to his active self again!
Morning all - not ventured here before but will be come feb 9th, that said, our 5 yr old could have put here on many occasion!
My lad has decided 7am is now time to wake... Wow.. a LIE IN !!!
Chuckles junior slept better last night than she has for a few weeks (tough teething)
Got up at 0815.
What a smashing start to 2012
Up since 5 something here. Fettled cx brakes, trued wheel and sorted ss chainline.
Start as you mean to go on I say.
Tilt the little uns bed up with a few books, vicks on chest and back and olbas oil really help with coughs. I feel your pains as I've suffered hugely with sleep deprevation and massive sleep debt in the past.. wo much so I collapsed and ended up in casualty with heart palpitations, complete exhaustion and severe fatigue. Its not until you build up a large sleep debt that you realise how important proper restful sleep is. There is no manning up when you get past a certain point of fatigue.. your body just stops.
Decided to celebrate a great nights sleep with a real MTFU daddy's breakfast.
Coffee is brewing, and this lot is cooking. Plenty spare if anyone wants some

Replace sleep with calories
We had the opposite, my 4.5yr old didn't go to sleep till 2am, but still got up at 7. A day of chilling and watching films me think.
Morning all ...
Staying with my brother and his heavily pregnant other half. My 6 y.o. daughter trots into my room at 5:30, ouch. After 5 minutes realise her 1 y.o. sister is awake. Make bottle, wake up mad spaniel and therefore the whole house. Everyone back to bed, but no sleep so give up and come downstairs.
Watching cat in the hat. More coffee needed.
Good insight into the future for my bro though 😉
'morning!
What's the correct etiquette for grinding the coffee beans when the littlest one arises? I say, that if I am awake, it's ok. My wife says, I need to wait until 2 y.o. awakes as her bedroom is above the kitchen.
She awoke at 0520, little darling. We're all about the potty training so straight on to the potty and in to 'big girl panties' for another day of 30 minute potty breaks and extra laundry!
Channel 5 had Thomas on before 6. Who knew?
is that square sausage up there ^^^ ? brings back memories...
Anyone have bedtime issues? I had to read about 20 books to my three year old before she went to bed last night. Then she got up at 6.30.
bacon sandwiches on the go at the mo!
this is a first, its 8.03am and both of mine (and the wife) are still fast assleep, normally there up at 6!
Result, either that or i'm the only survivor of a carbon monoxide incident!
We got through to 8-45. Happy days, now off to try and wear her out today so we get a similar result tomorrow
Ah wonderful just spent the last hour cleaning bits of sick off various floors upstairs following Jnr FD's vomitting sessions, this was another level of sick not encountered before, no longer relatively week smelling baby sick but putrid smelling toddler sick. Picking the bits of undigested fish and part digested peas up was particularly nice.
Now to sleep in a room that stinks of puke while Mrs FD nurses Jnr next door 😀 already been told though if it continues for more than a couple of hours I can expect to swap bucket holding duty 😯
I am on the early shift with 2 week old maxray jnr, least I get to watch loads of how its made on discovery! 🙂
