A busy day but thankfully a lot of help from Devil boy

The night shift went really well and Wolfie slept well. He woke up after 6, which was better than the other morning. I then was able to get up and feed the twins without feeling too dazed.

I catnapped until I got up a little later and made breakfast for Wolfie. He did not eat it at first until Devil boy brought it back in and then took it back out to him. For some reason Wolfie only wants his breakfast prepared by Devil boy.

Devil boy’s daughter came around in the morning as her mum was working. I got out a nature book for her to read, as I was shocked the other night when she did not recognise a lizard.

I then fed the twins sorted out the nappies to be washed and then went over to Devil boys grandmas house with the twins. It was nice seeing her. I do not get over often enough. I really have to try and get over more often.

When I got back I got something to eat and spent some time on Diablo II. I am unfortunately having a big lapse at my stopping eating chocolate. I have eaten so much it is not funny. I managed to stop smoking without any problems but I am having so many challenges with stopping eating chocolate.

It has been a really hectic day but Devil boy has thankfully helped so much during the day. He has kept Wolfie entertained, made food for us and washed dishes. He has been very funky indeed.

When Wolfie went to bed I cleaned up for a bit and then fed the twins. I then went around and had a good clean up before changing and feeding the twins. I think I will crash now and read for a bit.

Sunday 30th July – Happy birthday Devil Boy and a change of name

The night shift went quite well. The twins slept well and Wolfie slept through but woke early. As Devil boys daughter stayed over I had to bring him through, as I did not want him to wake her up. He did not settle off and I was then tired and cranky as a result. Devil boys daughter was still woken up early as well.

This caused me to get mixed up with the dates so I forgot to get Devil boys birthday cards and present ready. He was funky about it but I was in a bad mood with myself.

Devil boy took his daughter back and then went over to his grandmas with Wolfie for a bit. I was then able to get his cards ready. I had already wrapped his present.

I was able to give them to him when he got back. He really liked his present which I was really pleased about.

The rest of the afternoon went really funkily and as it was Devil boy’s birthday I would bathe and put Wolfie to bed. That went without any problems.

In the evening I eventually got around to sorting out getting my name changed. I will have the same surname as Devil boy and the younglings. Here will be a lot to sort out once it has been changed an it will be fun learning a new signature but I am so happy that I have managed to get it done.

The rain has come at last and I am very proud of myself

The night shift went well. Wolfie woke a little earlier than he should have done so I tried to get him to settle back in his bed. He unfortunately id not but I was in Sith mummy mode so I left him.

I then went back to sleep and went through for him at 8am. He did not seem like he had been crying all of the time so that was good. I was not impressed with Wolfie, as he did not eat the porridge that I made for him. I will have to try something new tomorrow.

The morning went well. Devil boy went to collect his daughter and went to his grandma’s house with her and Wolfie.

While they were out I worked on clearing the bed in the back room. I managed to get a lot of clearing up done but I ill have to continue working on it soon.

When they go back I managed to get a lot of work don as well as spending some time on Diablo II. I am a little sad today though as Devil boy’s daughter never asks me anything, she always waits for Devil boy. We need to do something so she gets used to talking to me and asking me for things.

Devil boy was telling em something that was a little annoying. When he was at his grandmas house they were pressurising him to give Wolfie some sweets. I do not mind Wolfie having biscuits and chocolate but not sweets. They even said that they thought he was being mean for denying Wolfie sweets. Hmm mean for denying him something that is bad for him.

He ended up giving him some sweets, which made Wolfie hyperactive. I will have to mention something when I next see his grandmas tomorrow…subtly though, as I do not them to get onto Devil boy when they next see him.

Thankfully during the afternoon it started raining. It has not rained for a while and the air needed clearing. Thankfully I had managed to get the nappies practically dried by the time the rain arrived so I am happy.

While I was cleaning the back room though I came across one of my self-help books. I thought I would check my mood with one of the charts. I only scored 7 in it. That is the lowest that I have managed to get and I am really beginning to think that I am eventually free from the depression that I have had for years.


We had our dinner and I cleaner up Wolfies room while he was bathed. I also cleared room in the kitchen for Devil boys daughter and I to bake. She mentioned that she wanted to bake to Devil boy. It was nice to do something with her. I cleaned up the kitchen while she got everything ready while checking on how she was getting on. I enjoyed it and the cakes were yummy.

After that I ran about like a loon getting everything ready before eventually being able to relax play on Diablo for a bit and read my funky new Star Wars book.

Youngling free time

Even though we went to bed far too latte we all managed to get a good nights rest. Though I have decided that I will defiantly no go to bed that late again.

I got two lovely surprises in the post this morning though. I got some lovely presents from some friends that I met on a inter site. One of them sent me a funky poster of the band that I will be seeing in August and the other sent me a really funky book to read to my youngling. It is Gaelic. That was so nice of them to do that.

In the morning I needed to go out and get some wrapping paper for Devil boys birthday present and a card as well.

I managed to get out on my own. It was nice to get out on my own and I managed to read some of my book. When I got back we had some lunch and I fed the twins before I had to go out to the shops again. I took Wolfie with me as he was getting tired and a trip out in the pram gives him chance to rest for a bit.

I managed to get what I needed and I also managed to get some bills paid while I was out. I managed to get back in time before my friend came around to visit. She had some things to pass onto me. She gave me lots of plates, a sleeping bag and some really funky towels. That was so nice of her to do that.

We were able to have a funky chat before she had to go home. She has had a challenging week with her girls. They are finding the heat too much. I only thought of it later but I should have given her a hug as she looked like she needed one. I will send her one though an E-Mail later.

The rest of the afternoon went very slowly and was rather challenging. I was rather irritable and Devil boy was not feeding well. We put Wolfie in the bath earlier and after Devil boy bathed him I read to him. He settled off well and Devil boy went out for the night to his friend’s house.

I then sorted the twins and had a lovely soak in the bath. I ten cleaned up a little and put on a nappy wash.

I just have to give the twins their night feed now and do my 100 sit-ups for the day before crashing. I am going to get 15minutes on Diablo though before I go to bed.

The cleaning still continues

The night shift went really well and I managed to give Malach his night feed. I missed Elbereth but I managed to give her a feed at 6am so it was not too bad in the end.

I did not do too much in the morning but I continued to carry on cleaning up the living room.

Devil boy went out in the afternoon and I managed to get Wolfie off for a quick nap, as he was shattered. When he got up he was very grumpy. I managed to deal with three rather grumpy younglings without getting into a flap. I am very proud of myself.

I managed to calm them down and fed the twins and Wolfie. I then spent some time with Wolfie in the garden. I also then kept going into the kitchen during this time to clean up the kitchen. The cooker was rather a mess and the recycle corner was a mess. I unfortunately had to throw some of the things but I will make sure that I keep on top of things from now on. The kitchen looks very funky now.

Devil boy got back and he helped out lots. The rest of the afternoon went very funkily.

As I had put Wolfie for a later nap I put him to bed later than usual. Thankfully I managed to get him to go to sleep without too much problems.

I then just spent the night relaxing and cleaning up a bit. I managed to see a funky film that I have not seen for a long time. It was so good seeing it again.

The cleaning frenzy continues

The night shift went well but I got a shock when I woke up at one point. The alarm went off for me to give the twins their night feed. At first I was really happy that I had actually woken up even thought was later than I had planned.

I then got a shock, as Wolfie was in bed with us asleep. He must have come through and got into bed with us. I fed Malach and I had a nap before Wolfie got up. We then all got up later. I was out in the garden when the neighbours passed a parcel for me that had been delivered to the wrong house. It was the funky new Star Wars book that I re-ordered. I am really looking forward to reading it.


The morning went well and Devil boy took Wolfie over to his grandma’s house again with his daughter. She will be staying the nigh.

I was able to carry on cleaning. I cleaned all behind the TV and I also managed to sort out all of the tangled cables while I was there. I managed to get a lot dome before Devil boy got back.

I got various jobs don during the day. I am sure that ti will not take me too long before the flat is a lot more funky. It is going through the shed that will be the challenge.

During the afternoon I have decided that I will stop playing the online computer game Star Wars. It is such a shame as it is such a funky game. It is just that there have been a lot of changes that I do not like so I no longer enjoy playing it. It is a shame that the game changed as it used to be really funky. I will play it from time to time but not all of the time.

The rest of the afternoon went well and I managed to get a lot of my jobs. We sorted out some dinner and after dinner I started cleaning up and got the bottles ready while Devil boy bathed Wolfie. I then put him to bed and read to him. He settled off well but once again I thought he would not settle as he cried as I was leaving the room.

I then spent some time cleaning up and feeding the twins before sorting out the Star Wars game ready for closing it down. I need to make sure that I get my sit-ups done toady. I have joined in on something on an Internet site that I chat on. I have joined in the 100 a day sit-up challenge. I missed it yesterday as I was shattered but I will make it today.

Tuesday 25th July – Operation clean up

The night shift went well and we all got a good sleep.

We got up and after breakfast Devil boy took Wolfie over to his grandmas house again.

I decided that I would clean around Devil boy’s computer desk, as when he is home I do not get the opportunity. I made good progress and I was cleaning away when I saw some strange bugs under his desk. I do not know what thy are but it made me realise that I have let the housework get on top of me and it has to stop now.


We have to keep the flat clean from now on and not let things get so bad. I managed to clean under his desk and my desk before Devil by got back. I got as much don as possible until Wolfie went to bed and then I carried on working like a woman possessed. I even missed taking the twins to the clinic so I could concentrate on the work that I needed to get done.

I had something to eat and I must admit that I was a little annoyed at Devil boy. He made himself something to eat but he did not clean up afterward. I was a little annoyed as I had a lot of jobs to do already without hem being added to.

I continued to work on the living room until I needed to stop and work on the kitchen. I had managed to make good progress in the living room and I managed to clean the kitchen up very nicely before I had to go to bed. I was absolutely shattered by that time.

Monday 24th July – A funky day

The night shift went well again but I think I need to go to bed earlier so that I can manage to get up to give the twins their night feed.

Devil boy went over to his grandma’s house in the morning. I thought that was really funky of him to do that. I managed to relax for a bit and browse the inter before getting some jobs before Devil boy got home.

I then spent some time with Wolfie in the afternoon. He loves being outside. I managed to get some rest form playing about in his cars as it does ache playing in them, as they are a wee bit too small for me.

We had out dinner. Thankfully Wolfie is getting better with his eating. I then bathed him and put him to bed. I thought he was not going to settle off at first but he thankfully managed to.

In the evening I just relaxed and I played on a new game that I have got called Titan quest. It is very funky and similar to Diablo. It is so pretty. I think I am going to enjoy playing it.

Still feeling tired

The night shift went well tough I slept through the night and I did not manage to get the twins night feeds done but I managed to get up at 67am and give them a feed so that makes up for it.

The morning went well and I managed to get the nappy wash out and dried. Devil boy then took Wolfie over to his grandma’s house for a bit so I managed to get some things while he was out. I also just made the most of the relax time while Wolfie was out.

When they got back I went out with him to the shop as I needed to get some things but I thought it would be nice to take him with me. He was very good on the way.

Shortly after we got back the sons of the family above us came around and played with Wolfie for a bit. I thought it was lovely that Wolfie had some other boys to play with. They had fun in the back garden. There were a couple of accidents but thankfully nothing much.

After dinner I put Wolfie in he bath. Unfortunately I was busy sorting my glasses out and I did not notice that Wolfie had done a poo until I heard him saying bum. I gave him a quick wash down and cleaned his teeth before putting him to bed. He settled off nicely.

The twins though have been very unsettled tonight. I have fed them and they do not seem hungry but I will change them and give them their bottles and see if that helps. I am trying to get to bed as early as possible as I am still really tired from yesterday.

Saturday 22nd July – Meeting friends in Edinburgh

Wolfie got up at just before 6. That meant after getting to bed at 1am I did not get a lot of sleep. I then fed the twins and got up at 6.30. I go breakfast ready for Wolfie and I baked some cakes while my breakfast was cooking.

After I’d had breakfast and baked the cakes I changed Wolfie before changing and feeding the twins. I then got the pram ready. I think because of getting prepared last night and getting up so early today I did not need to rush about and I was able to browse the internet for a bit (I needed to look how to get to the place that we were meeting)

I managed to catch the train on time and Wolfie was an absolute angel. I was able to get to the place where we were meeting with no problems. I was actually the first person there, which surprised me as I was only about 5minutes early. Thankfully I did not have to stand for a minute before one of my friends arrived. I chat to other women through the Internet and we had a meet up today. It was very funky to meet some of them. Wolfie was running about though. He I obsessed with cars and climbing into any Car that had their door open.

After a while though he settled and played in the play park of the city farm so I was able to concentrate on the twins. Once they were asleep I was able to rest for a bit before getting Wolfie some lunch sorted.

After a while we then went to another place for some food. I think that because I have been on my feet for so long in the heat with not enough food or water by the time I got to then other place I had gut ache and my back was really hurting. Thankfully after drinking a lot of water and getting something to eat and having a good sit down I felt so much better.

I managed to have a good chat to a few of my friends and I treated myself to a funky t-shirt. I took a few photos and I had a really funky time. When Wolfie was getting very tired I decided to go back home. Wolfie was still really good on the rain even though he was shattered.

We had some dinner when we got home and not surprisingly he settled off to sleep with no problems.

I was absolutely exhausted but I managed to get a lot of my jobs done. I went to bed later than I had planned though but I was just happy that I had made it through the night.

Friday 21st July – Very busy day

The day went well. Devil boy went away for the night during the day to watch Guns ‘n roses play.

I spent the day with the twins and Wolfie. I managed to get out during the day with all three younglings. I was very proud of myself for managing to do so.

When I got back I got Wolfie off for a nap as so tired. I only let him nap for 30 minutes tough. He still did not settle well in the night though but it was not too bad.

I spent the night cleaning up and getting ready for going into Edinburgh the next day. I had a lovely soak in the bath and get a lot of cleaning up before crashing.

Thankfully today is a lot cooler

The night shift went well. The twins and Wolfie slept well though I did not get up for the twin’s night feed. I managed to get a nice sleep and get up feeling funky.

The morning went well and I managed to get the nappies out on the line. Thankfully the rain held off so I was able to put them out. I was also luckily that the sun came out later so I was able to get them dried as the rain has been forecasted for tomorrow.

Devil boy took Wolfie out to his grandma’s house in the late morning and I was able to get my clothes sorted out when he was out. My clothes were in a terrible state. I will sort through them again soon and work out which one I will keep and which I will give away.

I managed to get some other jobs done before Devil boy go back. He was no in long before he had to go out. Thankfully he as not gone :long. Wolfie was good but I was feeling uptight for some reason.

I ordered a new camera recently and that arrived today. It is very funky and I do not know why I thought it would be big but it is a lot smaller than I thought. I am so happy that I have treated myself to it. I will have to have a look through the manual soon.


When Devil boy got back I cleaned up a little in the flat before Devil boy got the dinner ready. I was also able to order a book for myself as well as some more memory for our funky new camera. I changed the order for the book as I decided that I would like to read it sooner. I am happy to wait for one of the book but I am itching to read the one I reordered.


After dinner Devil boy bathed and put Wolfie to bed before going to his fiends house. Wolfie did not settle off at first but thankfully he did when I went through to him.

I then came though and browsed the Internet and played Titan quest before sorting out he twins. I changed and fed them and all I have to do now is tidy up a little before going to bed to read sand fill some competitions before crashing.

I have been watching the return of the king tonight. I must admit that while I think the films look very funky I am annoyed at the differences between them and ht book. It is not what they have missed out that has annoyed me but what they have added that was not in the book and the way in which characters were portrayed that really annoyed me. I do not understand why they have to do that.

Another hot hot hot day

The night shift went well and Wolfie had a good sleep. The night feeds did not go so well but I did manage them at last.

I managed to sleep a little bit longer than I intended so I felt dazed for a short while.

I managed to get a few things don in the morning before Devil boy wet to collect his daughter and took her with Wolfie over to his grandma’s house for a short while. While they were out I managed to get some things done around the house, sort out the nappy wash and sort out the shopping order that arrived.

When they cam back thy pottered about the flat for a short while before the most of the heat of the day had passed and they went outside. It has been a really hot day here. Thankfully a lot cooler than other places but it has still been hot enough to keep me indoors.

I sorted through the back room and tried to work out where to start and I also tried to put up the funky new curtains that my friend gave me up but they are unfortunately too short. I think I will sew a panel of material on the bottom to give them extra length. I will have a think about what colour I can use.

The rest of the afternoon went well. The electronic pest repellent that I ordered arrived. It will not kill them but it will send out signals to get them out of the house. I am hoping that it will work. We will see what happens over the next week but they arrived in good timing and at a good time especially with the heat.


Devil boy put some water in one of the paddling pools and Wolfie and Devil boy’s daughter had fun splashing about in it. After dinner Devil boy then took his daughter home while I bathed and put Wolfie to bed. He thankfully settled off really nicely.

I then browsed the internet for a short while before tidying up, putting the bins out, making the twins bottles before changing and feeding them.

I do not have much more to do so I will get what I need to get done as quickly as possible so that I can get an early night. I need a good sleep.

Tuesday, July 18, 2006

Still hot hot hot but thankfully cooler than yesterday

The night shift went well and while the night feed was a little later than I had hoped but I still managed it. Wolfie got up at around 6.30 and I managed to get a nap before getting up around 8.30.

Devil boy made Wolfies breakfast while I sorted out the twins. Shortly after we had got everything sorted out then Devil boys mum and dad came around to fix the new doors on. They were slightly too big but his dad was able to fix tem on.

His mum and dad had been shopping and they had bought a pool for the younglings. I thought that was early funky of them. I will inflate it and put it outside with the submarine.

Devil boy’s dad managed to fix the door but he unfortunately took off a little bit too much from the bathroom door. Thankfully you can not see into the bathroom when it is shut and he will bring some things up when he is next up so that the door will shut properly. We have ordered some computer bits for him to say thank you for doing that.

Devil boys mum took Wolfie out for a bit and when she came back she brought her sister and Devil boys grandma with her. We had a nice chat before they went back.

I then got ready to go out to take the twins to the clinic. When I got up the clinic was very quiet. I got them weighed and while they have both put on weight they have dropped down the chart a little. They are still within the normal weight range though. I had a nice chat with one of the health visitors about what happened with the paediatrician last week.

After the clinic I managed to call around and see my friend for a short while before heading back home. She has sorted out some curtains, towels, plates and some books for me. I thought that was really funky of her.

When I got home I had dinner and sorted out the twins before getting Wolfie ready for bed. There was an accident though as the bath overflowed and flooded the bathroom a little. Thankfully there was not too much damage.

Wolfie did not settle to well tonight unfortunately. It happens when he has had a nap during the day. It is a choice to take each day. Either to have him cranky and tired all day but to settle off well at night or have him be happy but not settle off well.

After he went to bed I went on Diablo II for a sort while and I managed to kill the fist level main boss without dying. I am so happy about that as that is the longest that I have gone in the game without getting killed.


I then fed the twins and put out the towels that I had washed. They were what I had used to mop up the flood in the bathroom.

All I have to do now is tidy up a little before reading a little and crashing.

Not a day to go out as the weather is hot hot hot

The night shift went quite well. The twins slept well and I managed to give them their night feeds. They were spaced out night feeds but they got them.

Wolfie slept quite well but he woke early and would not settle in his bed again. I decided to leave him and I went back to sleep before getting up at a good time,

Today was a hot day and we took Wolfie out before the real heat of the day started. It has been a really hot day so we spent from 11 till 2 inside. Wolfie was not happy though and he managed to escape before the originally planned 3 o’clock letting out time. We put lots of cream and thankfully there was a lot of shade in the back garden.

Bless Wolfie he did not like being inside though and he moaned lots about it.

The living room was not too bad but it really heated up when the afternoon sun got in and even though it is late the room has not cooled down. It does not help that the wind that we had earlier on has died down and the sky is cloudy which means of course that the heat will no escape.

Wolfie settled off to sleep really well though tonight and I managed to get some time on Diablo II before having a nice soak in the bath, sorting my hair out and then sorting the twins out.

I just need to get a drink and set up the bed before reading and crashing. I have got some E-Mails that I should have replied to but I can do that in the morning along with when I place the shopping order.

Sunday, July 16, 2006

I have gone back to Taekwondo

The night shift went well and even though Wolfie got up early I managed to get some naps until I got up at around 8am. I gave him cereal again today as UI am afraid I could not be bothered to make porridge…oops. IO did not make it for myself wither. Though at least the cereal that we have was bran flakes so I am happy bout that.

The morning went well and I sorted out the twins while Devil boy changed Wolfie.

I then started sorting through the back room looking for my digital camera. Devil boy then asked me to put Wolfie for a nap. I was thankfully able to do that and I continued my search for my camera. I managed to find it within an hour. I was so happy that I found it as I have been looking for it for ages.

I then fed the twins, had some lunch and got ready to go to Taekwondo. I was not in the mood for going but I thought that I had better go, as I know that I would enjoy it when I got there. I was thankfully right. I had a really good time as well as remembering that I need to do my stretching exercises every day. I know what I need to do so I will make sure that I get them done.

The rest of the afternoon went well and I had a nice chat with the neighbours in the flat above us.

I then sorted out some dinner and Devil boy sorted out Wolfies bath and put him to bed. I cleaned the living room and bathed and gave the twins a massage. Wolfie took a while to settle tonight though again so I will not give him a daytime nap tomorrow.

I have just got to give the twins their bottles and clean up a bit before going on Diablo II for a bit before crashing.

Saturday 15th July – A good washing day

The night shift went well and once again I managed to get up and give the twins a night feed. I am thinking about t bringing through the lamp so that I can read while giving them their night feed.

In the morning when I got up I noticed that it was a good day for getting things dried so I washed Wolfie bedding and then once that had done I managed to get a light wash before in the afternoon I managed to get a dark wash. I also managed to get them all dried, which is very funky.

I pent some time with Wolfie as well out in the garden. It is lovely spending time with him. He has a car and a trike. Both Devil boy and I use these as well when we are with him. Though Wolfie tells us which one we are to use. It is very funny but it is either ‘go in the car’ or got in the trike/bike’ He likes it when we crash into him so we spend our time going around the garden playing dodgems with him. It is very silly but great fun.

He had a nap during the day but I think he went for a nap for too long, as he did not settle off to sleep well at all. Devil boy managed to get him settled off in the end but it took a long time.

Friday 14th July – the twins are 6 months old today

Wow the twins are 6 months old today. The last 6 months have just flown by. It really does not seem that long since they were born.

They have been absolutely wonderful though. I could not ask for funkier babies. I have really been blessed to have such funky babes.

I decided to start weaning the twins today. I made a batch of mashed potatoes and added some formula to it. They were uncertain bout it at first but I managed to get them to take some of it.

As they are 6 months old I decided to give them some more of the potatoes at dinnertime and while Elbereth was still not certain about it. I will try them with some bananas soon and maybe she will prefer that.

I also managed to get out today and get some things done. I went and paid the council tax and I remembered to ask for a garden waste bin for our neighbours as they only delivered one bucket for the two flats and I managed to ask the questions that I needed to ask so I was very happy with myself.

The decluttering has restarted

The night shift went really well and I managed to give both the twins their night feeds. I am determined to give them their night feeds as it obviously does make a big difference. I have till next Tuesday to see how much weight I can get them to put on.

The morning went well but Wolfie would not take a nap. He will have taken a rest while I read to him though and shortly after I had tried Devil boy took him over to his grandmas house. I managed to get some things done before he got back.

The afternoon went well and even though I did not think I would not get much done today I have managed to fold up the nappies, reorganise the book shelf and make a good start on the back room before it was time for Wolfie to go in the bath.

I also managed to give Wolfie a massage during the day. He was tired and as it was to late for him to be put for a nap I gave him a massage. He was very good and lay still while I did it. I have not given him a massage for so long and I think he enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it.

I washed Wolfies hair while he was in the bath, which he did not enjoy but he recovered quickly and he settled off to sleep really nicely.

When I got out I bathed and massaged the twins. Now that they are nearly 6 months old I am going to start getting them into a bedtime routine. This will involve a bath and massage before their night feed. I am going to start settling them to sleep earlier as well but I will still keep their night feed on.

I managed to get a lot of things done and all I need to do is feed Elbereth her bottle and clean up a bit before going on Diablo for a bit and then reading a bit before crashing.

Wednesday 12th July – I took the twins to the paediatrician

The night shift went well and I managed to give Malach a night feed so I am on the road to improvement with that.

The morning went well and I managed to get al of the things that I needed to get sorted out before I went out to catch the train at 12.40.

When I got to the hospital I took in the bag of first size vests for the maternity ward. I also went into the special care unit to say hello. Malach did not spend much time there but I anted to say hello. I then managed to visit the ward that I stayed on when I had the twins.

I changed and fed the twins before I went through to the clinic. As I have been struggling to give the twins their night feeds and when I have managed they have not been interested in taking their feeds Malach had not put on that much weight but Elbereth has barely put on any weight at all. Though at least she has put on some. I worked out that she is still on the chart.

The appointment with the paediatrician did not go as well as I had hoped unfortunately. She told me that Elbereth has gone off the bottom of the chart again. I am sure that I worked it out that she was still on the chart but had dropped down a bit. I will have another look.

The good thing tough was she told me that the twins are getting developmentally well it is just that they are small for their age.

I got annoyed at her as she was making me feel really bad with what she was saying. I was getting really flustered and I was telling her that they had dropped and that they were gaining weight. She kept saying that the doctor was worried. I told her that my doctor has not seen them since they started to gain weight.

I told her that they were gaining weight nicely except for the last couple of weeks and she just told me that ideally they should have followed the line that they were on when they were born. I then got really annoyed and told her that I thought it was unfair that they were expected to follow a bottle fed chart when they are breasted. I actually felt like saying to her f you and you f’ing charts..I have had an f’inough of your f’ing charts.

It really annoyed me though and I have just remembered something that I could have told her…doh. Elbereth lost a lot of weight when she was born so of course she will not follow the line that she was at birth.

I was in a right fluster as she was telling me things that were the complete opposite to what the health visitors at the clinic have told me. Thankfully she was all right about letting me wait until Friday to wean them. I just wanted to wait until they were 6 months old and I am so happy that I have managed it. I am going to give them some milky mashed potatoes.

I was in a fluster for ages after. I only got better when I went to thank a woman on our street for some things that she has given to me for the twins (she has got twins, an older daughter and step daughter) She went through the same thing with her twins so I was able to chat to her about it and I felt better after that.

I managed to meet my new neighbour. She is very funky. Hopefully I will get to see her more often.

After dinner I went back to see the woman with twins later to pass on to her an extra bag of potatoes that had been accidentally delivered to me with the Tesco order. Devil boy was putting Wolfie to bed tonight.

When I got back I managed to get a lot of cleaning up, get the twins ready and fed, get the bottles done up and spend some time on the computer game that I have started playing again. I am really enjoying playing it.

I also managed to get an earlier night and read a bit before going to sleep.

Tuesday 11th July - Devil boy and I have managed to have a funky meal

I have got a little behind with my blog again. Oops.

I remember that the night shift went well. The night shifts have been going well apart from not being good at getting up for the twins night feeds it has been going well at nights. I have been going to bed too late though so I will have to get myself organised so that I can get to bed earlier and get a good sleep.

The day went well and the Tesco order arrived without too much problems (a couple of items were sent duplicate of but that was it)

In the evening I put Wolfie to bed so that Devil could get the evening meal ready for us. I wore a funky medieval style dress. It was nice to get dressed up and it was lovely having a nice meal with him again. We must try and do that more often. We then sat and watched the chronicles of Narnia. That was a really funky film.

After that we went on the computer for a bit. I sorted the twins out and I managed to read in bed for a bit before going to sleep.

Mum and Dad have gone back today

The night shift went well. The twins were still not interested in their night feed but the took a good feed at around 6am. Wolfie woke up at just before 6. I brought him through buy I originally thought it was later but when I realised what time it was I put him back in his bedroom. Thankfully he settled off for another hour.

We then had a lay in before we heard a knock at the door. It was Devil boy’s daughter. We are having her around for a few days this week as she is on holiday. Devil boy then needed to go out for the morning to see the citizens advise bureau.

The morning went well and mum and dad called in before going back to Derbyshire. It is a shame that they are going back but I will hopefully be able to get something sorted out this year so that I can get to see them more often. Mum asked me not to move any further up north. I was a little annoyed at this as I would really love to move further up north and I am going to make sure that I will be not too far away from an airport.

After Devil boys daughter went home I fed the twins before going around to see Devil boys mum and grandma for a bit. I had a funky time there. Devil boys mum took the twins around to her brother. He is in the area for a week. I chatted to Devil boy’s grandma while they were out.

When I got home Devil boy made some dinner and Wolfie managed to eat some of it, which is better than normal…he normally doesn’t not touch the soup at all. Hopefully it will continue to improve.

I then spent some time on a computer game before putting Wolfie in the bath and then putting him to bed. He settled off with no problem and once he was sorted I fed the twins. Devil boy then changed them for me tonight.

I have got their bottles ready and the Tesco order done so I just need to rush about getting cleaned up before giving the twins their night feed. I will then relax and read more of the Han Solo book. I have been making really good progress with it and I am about ¾ though the book.

A funky day and a fab time spent with mum and dad

The night shift went well. The twins once again were not that fussed about their night feed and Wolfie woke up at around 5.30. Thankfully he settled off again until just before 8. He lay in bed for a while but I needed to get up and change Elbereth. It was then when I noticed that Wolfies nappy had leaked an there was poo on the bed sheet.

So the first half an hour of the day was spent rushing about changing Elbereth and then Wolfie. I went into the kitchen to get Wolfies breakfast ready and then putting the bed sheets into the washing machine before washing the dishes and then eventually getting my breakfast ready.

Wolfie did not eat his breakfast unfortunately so I had a huff and then when Devil boy came in I had another huff because the nappies were still soaking and I had another wash to get dry. I had to then rush out to get the nappies in, spin them and put them out again before changing and feeding Malach.

Devil boy took his daughter back home and went to his grandmas house with Wolfie. I then decided that I had to put some f the nappies on the radiator to get them dry as we were running out. I then worked on cl3ning the kitchen.

I managed to get the kitchen looking funky before mum and dad came over shortly before Devil boy got back home with Wolfie.

We had a funky time while they will over. It is such a shame that they are going back tomorrow. Thankfully it will not be too long before they are back.

When they had gone back Devil boy got dinner ready. Wolfie was being funny about it at first but after we had taken it away I decided to put the plate back and see what he did. He played with the food for a short while before eating it. We were so happy as he has been too fussy recently.

Devil boy then bathed and put him to bed. He settled off really funkily.

Devil boy then ran a bath for me and after a lovely soak in the bath I changed and fed the twins. I will give the twins their night feed before reading and crashing. I am trying to get an early night so that I get a good sleep. Oh I will need to put on the bed sheet that was washed today before wee crash.

Saturday 8th July – We went to mum and dad cottage again for a meal

The nigh shift went well and Wolfie slept well again. I managed to get up for the night feed but they were not int5erested in their feed at all.

The day went well and I managed to get a lot of things done.

In the afternoon we went across to mum and dads place. Devil boy’s daughter came over as well. We had a really funky meal. It was early nice to get the opportunity to spend another nigh where they were saying. Devil boy had to call back home at one point though to change Wolfies nappy.

After we all got back home Devil boy went out with dad for a drink. I put Wolfie to bed. I then sorted out the twins and fed them before having a browse on the Internet.

I relaxed for a bit when Devil boy got back I gave the twins their night feed.

I cleaned up he kitchen and read for a bit before going to sleep.

A funky day out with mum

The night shift went well but once again I did not manage to get up for the night feed. I do not know what is the matter with me but I have not been able to wake up for the night feed.

When I was getting ready I decided that even though mum and I agreed to get the 10.45 train I could not be bothered to rush about so we got the train an hour later.

I then got ready and we went out for the train. We got there with no problems and we managed to find out way from the train station to the town centre without getting lost. We went for a walk through the park and we saw the spot where William Wallace hid out when he was being hunted.

We then went around the remains of the Abbey. The city is really funk and there is not only a funky history but there is a lovely ce4ntre to it as well. We had lunch and mum got some funk paddling pools for the twins and Wolfie. We were just working out how to get back to the train station when a woman came up to us and offered to help. I thought that it was so nice of her to do that.

When we got home I discovered that we will be getting new neighbours in the flat above us. Hopefully they will be funky.

Wolfie has been getting better today but he has a cold bless him. He has been coughing and sneezing a lot through the day. He managed to eat some dinner though and he settled off to sleep when Deil boy pout him to bed.

I unfortunately got a phone call while Devil boy was sorting out Wolfie. It was from my friend telling me that she will not be able to make it up next week. There is a problem with their car, which will mean that they cannot afford to come up. She will try and get up in September but it is such a shame that this has happened and so close to her coming up.

Devil boy then went out for the night and I worked on inflating the pools before getting the twins ready for bed and cleaning the kitchen. I am determined to keep the kitchen clean.

All I have to do now is reply to a friends E-Mail before relaxing and reading for a bit. I will see also about replying to my friend’s letter as well.

Rearranging the living room

The night shift went well. Wolfie slept well and the twins slept well. I managed to get a lie in this morning which I needed after going to bed too late last night.

Devil boy took Wolfie out in the morning to his grandmas for a few hours. I was able to get some tidying up done, and sort out a couple of wash loads while he was out. It is funky clothes drying weather today.

I also managed to move the bookshelf from the back bedroom into the living room. I have put it in the place where the stereo was. I do not use it at the moment so I thought I would move it until we mover into a bigger place. I am also after a smaller stereo anyway, preferably with an MP3 player in it. The bookshelf looks really funky in the living room.

When Devil boy got back I spent some time with Wolfie in the back garden reading. After that I fed the twins before going out to get some things. I took Wolfie with me as he was tired and I thought that sitting in the pram might give him the rest that he needed. I met my friend while I was out. She was walking home from picking her daughter up from school.

I got what I needed and I also picked up some chairs for the garden. I enjoyed reading outside with Wolfie but we only had one chair. The woman in the shop asked me if I was going to Taekwondo again as I missed it last Sunday. I told her that I was but I was nice to be noticed that I was not there.

On the way back I called in at the park for a bit. I do not get t the park that often with Wolfie and it was nice to spend some time with him. I had to leave sooner that I had planned, as he had a rather wet nappy. It turned out to be a good thing as it started raining when I was close to home.

I was able to get the washing before it got wet thankfully and it was nice to hear some more thunder.

We then had our dinner and as Devil boy was going out I bathed and put Wolfie to bed. I accidentally read to him until he fell asleep. Though it did not take much as he was shattered.

I then read for a bit while feeding the twins. I have finished the first of the Han Solo trilogy and I have started reading the second Han Solo book – The Hutt gambit. It is starting off well and I think I am going to enjoy this book.


After I had done that I then cleaned the kitchen, got the twins bottles ready and folded up the clothes that I brought in. It did not take me too long to get it all done before I went through and changed the twins ready for their last feed before I crash.

All I now have to do it reply to a friends E-Mail before crashing. I will send off my take a break competition and read for a bit.

Some youngling free time

The night shift went well again last night. I fed the twins late so I did not bother getting up for their night feed. Wolfie woke up at around 6.30 and I managed to get some catnaps before getting up.

Wolfie did not eat the breakfast that I made for him and Devil boy confessed that he put sugar in his porridge. I was not happy about that. It was no wonder that he was not eating the porridge that I made for him. Devil boy has agreed to the change in his diet.

I then went out to the next town and I managed to get the new duvet that we really need. I was very happy to get rid of the other one.

As I went out without the younglings I managed to get some reading done and catch up with the competitions. I am very proud of myself for managing to get back into filling out the competitions.

When I got back I managed to get Wolfie off for a nap. Shortly after I got him up I phoned mum up because she said she was coming over. She unfortunately told me that she had changed her mind and that mum and dad were doing something sleep. I was a little annoyed as it would have been funky to have spent some time with her and even though she said she was going to pone I wonder when she would have phoned.

They called around later though for a bit so at least we managed to see them today.

Devil boy’s daughter is over today and she entertained Wolfie for a bit before going out. I needed to keep Wolfie happy while Devil boy sorted out the garden.

We then had dinner and sorted out Wolfie for bed. He did not settle off to sleep unfortunately though so I think that I should not have put him for a nap.

I have managed to get some time on a computer game and browse the Internet for a bit.

All I have to do is sort out the twins and clean up a bit before bed. I am hoping to get my friends E-Mail replied to but I will see what I can get done.

Tuesday 4th July – Wolfie is getting better

We had a better night with Wolfie. He slept through the night and is getting better.

The day went well and I took the twins to get weighed at the clinic. They have been putting on weight nicely again. Though when I first got Elbereth weighed she looked like she had not put on the much weight. I then gave her a feed while I was there and I asked if I could get her weighed again and when they weighed her again she had put on weight with the feed which put her on a better position on the chart.

After I got home we went over to the cottage that mum and dad have rented for a meal.

We had a really funky time and while Devil boy and Wolfie was being taken back home mum and I had a funky chat. It was nice to get the chance to chat to her.

I was about to be taken back when I realised that I had forgotten to pass on the house keys to Devil boy so he was locked out. Thankfully when I got back they were happy in the tent in the back. Wolfie was not happy about going back I the house.

Thankfully he settled off to sleep nicely.

The rest of the evening went well and I managed to get some things done and I also managed to get some of my competitions caught up with.

Wolfie is not well and mum came to rhyme and time with us.

The night shift did not go well at all unfortunately. Wolfie was up lots in the night and he was burning up, panting and his heat was racing. We brought him through as he was not settling at all and I decided that I would let him have his dummy for the night. We gave it to him and he did no use it. He just played with it but did not use it. I am so happy because even though the poor poppet was not well he knows that he is past his dummy.

We phoned up NHS24 and they told us to strip him down to his nappy, give him fluids and put him back in his own bed with a light sheet.

Thankfully he settled off until nearly 9. Devil boys tickets then arrived for him to see Guns ‘N roses. It will be funky for him to see them

I managed to get Wolfie to have a little breakfast and I decided that I would only take the twin to rhyme and time today, as he was still hot. I gave him some more Calpol.

Shortly before mum arrived Devil by noticed that Wolfie has 2-4 molars coming through. I was happy about that as I was worried that he was ill from being in the rain. I then decided to take him to rhyme and time.

We got ready and visited Devil boys grandma before going to the Rhyme and time. We were unfortunately late but thankfully we did not miss too much. I had a really funky time and it was nice for mum to see one of the groups I think mum has realised that I will not be moving back to the area where I grew up. I think she secretly was hoping that I would do but she has seen how well settled I am here now.

He rest of the afternoon went well. Wolfie napped on the way home and he was lovely around the twins while they were on the floor. He sat by them and was really nice to them. There were a few moments but not many.

He settled off to sleep nicely and I spent the night rushing about getting all of my jobs done so I can get to bed as soon as possible. After my disturbed night last night I really need a good sleep. I also need a good sleep in case Wolfie has another bad night. He has woken already and while he has settled off again it could be along night.

Sunday 2nd July - I am feeling much better and had a very productive day

I managed to get up really early with Wolfie and as I knew that some rain had been forecast I decided to get a lot of washing done. I managed to get the kitchen cleaned and lots of washing done in the morning as ell as sorting out the twins and Wolfie.

Mum and dad came around at about midday shortly after Devil boys daughter went and they brought us some Cornish pasties around. They were really nice.

Mum and dad then went to the shops and while they were out there was a funky thunderstorm. Devil boy and I stood outside with Wolfie. It was lovely standing out in the rain getting soaking wet.

After a while we came in and dried off before mum and dad came back. Then did not stay long before they went back to where they were staying.

Wolfie managed t settle off to sleep funkily and I managed to get all of the things I needed to get ready done early so I was able to read for a bit

Saturday 1st July – Mum and dad are up and I do not feel well

The day went really well and Devil boy’s daughter was really funky today. She kept Wolfie entertained while I cleaned up and got things ready for mum and dad arriving.

It was lovely to see mum and dad again. They bought some really funky things for us. They got us a really funky hover. At first I thought that we had got enough hovers but when I looked at I knew that this one was worth having. It looked so funky and in a fab colour. They also got us a kettle which we needed as outs was needing to be replaced, a toaster, an iron and a really funky curtain and duvet set. It has funky pink flowers. I would not have chosen that myself buy I really like it.

I was thinking about it and maybe it is a coincidence but since Elbereth has been born I have becoming more and more girly. I have been getting pink things and while I do not want everything in pink I have been using and enjoying the colour pink much more.

Shortly after mum and dad went to where they are staying I started to feel ill though and I struggled to get the twins bottles ready. Thankfully Devil boy helped out so much.

I really thought I was going to be sick. I managed to get ready for bed early and thankfully I then started to feel better and I was able to read a bit before crashing.

Wolfie is going through a challenging stage

The night shift went well. Wolfie slept well and even though he woke in the night he settled back to sleep until gone 6 when I brought him though and he then dozed until 7. The twins as per usual slept really well and I managed to give them both a night feed.

Devil boy got up and made breakfast for Wolfie while I fed the twins. I then got my breakfast before getting the twins changed and fed ready to go to my friends house.

The morning went well and as I was about to leave the house he started getting Wolfie ready for a nap. I left the house a little later than I had planned but I made good time waling up the road and I arrived at my friends house in the time scale that I said I would be at.

She is having a challenging day as one of her daughters is clingy and the other is just being a typical toddler. I remembered to take the clock that I was giving to her daughter and the mouse that I was giving to her. She had some material to give to me to get used in my collages that she got from her mum. I thought that was really nice of her.

I had a really nice time there and we had a funky chat. I left to get some things done and she went to see her eldest daughters end of term production.

I got all of the things that I needed to get done and I headed back home. The rest of the afternoon though was a challenge. Wolfie has been a challenge and while I managed to make good progress on tidying the back room ready for mum and dad coming tomorrow I have found it difficult. Wolfie has been slapping the twins and been rough with us. I really do not know what to do about him. The only thing I know is that I do not want to hit him, as I know that it will do him no good.

I was happy when it came to bathing him and putting him in bed. Wolfie is so good when he is in the bath I just wish he were like that the rest of the time. He seemed to be settling off to sleep until I left the room though. Thankfully I managed to get him to settle in the end though.

I spent the night relaxing a bit and cleaning the living room. I have hovered up and sorted the twins out. I also posted on the Internet on a forum that I chat on about what to do about Wolfie. I got a book recommendation so I have ordered some books (along with a Star Wars book) so hopefully they will help.




I have now settled off the twins so all I need to do is relax and clean up a little before crashing. Devil boy has been at his friends hose tonight. I do quite enjoy it when he goes to his friend’s house.
