Pump It Up Baby - come on.
Not sure if it was what Elvis Costello was singing about but...
sure is the talk of our house at the moment.
God bless the breast pump and all who sail in her.
We have two weeks off soon and the first golf game of the year beckons. Natasha and I have a monthly game against two pals where we play for the annual awarding of what has now become known as The Enzo Memorial Trophy Challenge.
If Tash stands any chance at all of taking part breats pumpage will have to take place, otherwise we will be a five ball and that, according to the R and A is illegal.
Not looking good at the moment though, with a full forty five mintues of nipple abuse producing little more than a thimble full of baby. Ouch.
Ok us boys may be stricken with an insatiable and often pathetic lust for sex, sport and chemical tasting lager for most of our lives but you girls have it damn tough.
If I had to guess I would predict that the five ball will be more like a three ball come Monday but on the udder hand maybe a more veritable flow of milk is just a mere pump or two away.
LOL.

Morning Chris.
It often takes a bit of time for the pumps to actually get results, and for some women it just doesn't work at all.
My sis-in-law had lots of problems getting started but she got there in the end.
Good luck with the Golf.
Hope the good weather holds out for ya.

Morning lovelies!
Clodagh, loved your story about the joggers! Also loved the idea of someone forgetting to put them back on and walking out of the shop ..."Donald, where's your trewsers?"!!
Is there such a thing as techno-blindness? I've had 2 days of training in this stupid computer package I have to use and on the days themselves I thought - yep, no problem, I understand it all now.
A few days later - and it's all greek to me!

Morning all, I think that you should give up with the breast pump and if you are going off for a day to just top up the breast milk with a little formula milk would do no harm and save all the pain, I know Iv'e been there, I'm sure Noah wouldn't mind just for once!!!

I solely breastfed DS for five months with the intention that when I returned to work I would use a pump. Unfortunately me and pump didn't work out so I had to mix-feed him. He'd have formula whilst I was at work Monday to Friday and breast milk the rest of the time. He had no trouble switching between the two. He finally came off the breast of his own accord at 11 months when he had a really bad cold and couldn't breathe when he latched on.
You're probably going to be bombarded with lots of advice on this one CLP. Just go with what feels right for you, Tash and Noah.

aarrgh i dont know how to do this with out offending anyone.
dont go down the formula milk road..you are all happy with small boy on the boob. can you take someone along as "caddie"who will look after Noah then he can be plugged in when he needs his mummy. mummy will be less stressed as she will know where her boy is,boy will be near boob.
or is that not allowed in the game of golf..

i tried to use my breast pump again with baby number 4 after using it for number 3 with no problems.
i put it together incorrectly so it wouldnt work. ( memory is getting defective and i didnt look at the instructions as i thought i knew how to put it together) took it apart put it back together and all was fine.

In fact although me long game ain't az long az it should be.... due ter 'itting from the DAMN top and getting me late 'it early, aka nooot late enough thus losing vital yardage..... me short game iz MEGA!!!!!!!
(Although a can MEGA 'it it 250 yards with a 'alf swing due ter getting more direct power due ter the late 'it being more correct... with a 'alf swing!!!!! Only problem.... it ain't go 'igher than 15 feet off the ground!!!! Good inter the wind though.... or for alotta run on 'ard dry fairways!!!!!)
Back ter the short game bit.... In fact reversing a truck iz very close ter chipping and putting!!!!!!

The Short Game iz all about guessing angles... good judgement of distance ter get it inter the 'ole yer aiming for.... EXACTLY the same az reversing a HVG, sorry HGV!!!!!!!

In fact my secret iz so good a know a could putt at the MEGA FAST greens of Augusta with.... gusto!!!!!!
In fact they make a BIG deal outta fast greens at Augusta but a wreckon it's easier ter putt on fast greens az yer can get better touch!!!!!!!
A municipal course with noot too well kept greens and slow due ter poor maintainance and slightly too long puuuuuuttinga greeeeeeen grass iz 'arder ter judge 'the feel'... 'the speed' than at a perfectly manicured Augusta green!!!!!!@!!!!!!
(When a say manicured.... for PC reasons... womencured maybe too... although from what ave seen most green keepers at Augusta seem ter be men - no offence ter feminists mean't) I think ALL women are beautiful!!!! ('ope this bit diffuses me manicured commentations).

Afternoon all! Long time no blog.........
I'd love to join you with one Steffi, but it's a wee bit early for me. Might indulge tonight after battling round the supermarket for a long overdue 'big' shop though!
Pleased to hear that the blog meet went so well at the weekend. I had a quiet time with family and enjoyed the sunshine - doesn't it help improve our general mood?
Breast pumps - yuk! Had to use one when youngest was in hospital and a bit poorly but it never worked well - I found it really off-putting when strange people kept walking into the room. A bit more privacy and comfort might have helped.
'Nuff said about that - as non-parents will surely agree.
The pet food thing last night made me feel a bit ill and I was glad I was just cooking a veggie meal. Hope there are no unwanted after-effects CLP!
Off for lunch now. Laters..........

Like MW and Nicki-Noos above, I don't have any comment on today's blog as I know nufthink about golf or boob pumps and don't really wish to either.
As for the pathetic lust for sex and sport - I could go for both of those, although chance would be a fine thing for the first one!!
One thing does worry me though and that's the thought of you (CLP) having two weeks off!! Not that you don't deserve it, but the "next" button is going to get on my nerves. So I am bracing myself for it now - thanks for the advance warning.

I realise this will undoubtedly count as too much information, but I was a dab hand with a breast pump. Just a little one-handed, manual jobbie. I could fill a bottle in 2 minutes. Could have gone into business. It soon became automatic, but in the beginning it helps to think about your baby while you're doing it.
I even had to go to the bathroom and do it during my wedding reception, as baby teen1 wasn't there. A reet laugh in a wedding dress, I can tell you. I definitely won't be repeating that when I remarry in July.
Keep trying Tash!
Sorry if I've put anyone off their lunch!

Koalas are marsupials. Like kangas and roos. And wallybies. And possible sloths, but need to look that one up.
Bears, generally, have the capability of standing and walking on back legs. Different shaped muzzles and dental structure too, which indicates that most are omnivores - except pandas that are vegetarian. Like the koala.
But koalas are not bears. Winnie is though!
And as for eating cat and dog food...I missed the show but will say for nowt, I will never ever put food designed for pets in my system. Oh no. Not on your nelly, or mine! I guess that comes with working with the stuff and being trained on what exactly goes into it.

Nicki,
last time I used secatuers I chopped the top of my finger nearly right off. I just missed behind the nail, so as I ran it under the tap to wash it I had the pleasure of watching the tip of my finger slide all over the place, then had to hold it in place on the trip to the hospital. Its back in place now, though has no feeling in it and is very slightly off central.
Be careful out there!
Irony of it is at the time of said incident I turned to tell my friends son to stay away from the chainsaw as they're dangerous.
Oh well.

Afternoon peeps.
Ok - golf, I have a very tatty half set of secondhand clubs mouldering in the shed. Not a game I took to but figured it was about my speed - which is slow to stop!
Breast pumps - had to use one 21 yrs ago when son and heir was a wee (7 weeks prem) baby in special care. Not an easy thing to use and this was an electric one in the hospital so very much akin to being on the farm! Only managed to stick it for a few days, but recall being told that can be enough to give your baby all the antibodies etc that they need to get from mum.
Koals and marsupials in general - just enjoying the wildlife lesson!

And as for the pet food, it really depends on which brand.
If the label states animal derivatives that means unused parts of any animal. this includes dolphins that have been caught during net fishing. Meat derivatives is stuff like faces, feet, feathers, fur and other stuff that is left over from the human meat industry.
Vegetable derivatives are no better. Often means sawdust, used as a filler to bulk the food out.

'Ave yer ever noticed, standing...... standing at the end of a lonely railway platform (noot az a train spotter, but waiting for a train) on a beautiful sunny spring dee, with the birds..... singing.... singing a beautiful song chorus (A think it goes in bird talk.... "fancy abitta jig???.... Am sexier than the other bird in the next tree!")..... With the sweet smell of well used points grease.... the shine of the well polished rails from regular use.... thatta a RED railway signal... looooks.... abit negative.... bad... sinister....
Butta GREEN railway signal.... looooks... feels... positive... bright.... 'appy!!!!!!!'
Next time yer on a platform, see the light.... loook and compare the RED and..... the GREEN and see whatta mean!!!!!!
Reminds of the well known song by Sting.... errrr Roxanne!!!!
The words go "Rrrrrrrrroxanne, yeeew don't ave ter put out the red light... terneet!!"
Written after the famous signalbox operatative Roxanne!!!! Whatta coincidence!!!
Don't wanter upset any feminists again... but yer don't see many female signalmen... sorry signal operatatives.... Probally the VERY reason... what inspired Sting ter wreet about this special female signalbox operatative!!!!
Very dangerous advice though if taken too seriously... Sting's advice.... sometimes yer need ter put out the red light.... for VERY important safety reasons!!!!!

Howya Gobdaws and a very happy and safe Saint Paddy's Day to yous all.
This is a bit wierd for me; first time in 6 years I haven't been in some eejit-infested outpost of Ireland on Paddys Day but there'll be wall-to-wall madness goin' on as we speak. I hope they've remembered to take the scaffoldin' down on O'Connell Street this year so as the floats full of massive heeds and donkeys can fit down. As opposed to St. George's Day over here, when the most entertaining spectacle in Wigan to date was when the Mayor of Wigan lit 'is fag in the wind and set fire to 'is moustache.
Any road don't be mischeivous, CLP. Don't get us lot started on the breast pumps. I well remember my titanic effort on the business end of the breast-pump in preparation for the annual Farmers' Ball, when the father-in-law walked in and took me by surprise, and got a right squirt all over 'is glasses.
The ex used to joke about how he very nearly put it in his tea; but I have to say this hazard was not nearly as tragic as the trauma I suffered when I grabbed a half-eaten Mars Bar off the shelf in the dimly-lit larder, thinking he'd eaten half and put it back. It was only when I emerged into the light and opened wide to take me second bite that I noticed the mouse teeth-marks.
Again.
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!
Ergo I was always tempted to spike 'is custard with it. But revenge is so bad for the Karma, n'est-ce pas.
OK. Am off to make some nice champ for tea. And since it is Paddy's Day, I should just tell the tale about the origin of champ, which is from County Cavan, where the people are, reputedly, careful with their pennies. Legend has it that a Cavan man, on his deathbed, asked for a last portion of his beloved Champ. However, his missus refused his request, on the grounds she was saving said champ for AFTER the funeral.

On another matter, linking 2 recent topics - I've just remembered that when I was young we had a cat who liked marmite. You didn't dare leave a plate of marmited toast unattended or she'd be there in a flash and licking it all off!

Walking round a supermarket putting stuff in trolley taking stuff out of trolley to pay - back in trolley to car - out of trolley in to car and then out of car in to kitchen NOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!
Sit at your computer - click away at your favourites and a very helpful man delivers it to your kitchen - only way to go.
Shopping is for shoes clothes etc etc.

This is my first time blogging but as a midwife - couldn't resist. Breast feeding and pumps, well, they don't work for all but remember that Tash will not be producing massive amounts of milk in one go - Noah probably takes small regular feeds and so the milk production will be the same until about 6 weeks when it's like the proverbial fountain! In the meantime, try having Noah feed on one side ,and then attach the pump to the other. Also, make sure Tash always has a drink when feeding herself. She may need a hand to manage everything i.e. you may need to work the pump while she feeds (seriously) but hey, I'm sure you're up to the job Chris! Be patient, just because the output is small now, it will get better the more you use it. If it's not good for a few days, leave it and try again. Tash's body will control what happens. As much as the pump is designed to immitate the real thing, a woman's body is not easily fooled! Good luck to all.

I don't think I'd be that happy but maybe that's just me! Anyway, good luck with the breast pump, hope you get on ok with it xx

Back again - and re #91, I'm sorry AliB - I'd already gone to make up my list!
Survived S'bugs in one piece with help of youngest who pushed the trolley for me and managed not to kneecap anyone this time! If I've forgotten anything it's just too bad as I'm now skint and the cupboard and freezer are both bulging.
I don't fancy online food shopping Beez, as I always think they won't get the fresh stuff in the right size or condition that I want. How do you order broccoli or apples to suit you, in the way you pick over them when you're actually there? And I like to browse the special offers and sometimes try something new because it's on 'bogof' or similar. Some work out, some don't but it's all part of life's rich tapestry!
Now sitting with full tummy and a nice glass of cool, smooth Irish alcoholic beverage and thinking about going to watch TV shortly.
Have ordered the Mum's day flowers but the trick now is to remember to post the card off in time! Note to self................

I really love it when people pick up all the fruit and veg at the supermarket, give it a good old prod and poke and then put it back.
I'm thinking who wants that now your grubby little hands have been all over it.
Also, are these people such experts that they can select just the very best specimens from all those on offer, whilst disgarding the rest as inferior.

Now folks, need a little help here.
I'm retiring on the 27th, after nearly 20 years in this job. Keeping the Centre going, supporting staff, contributing to strategic plans, fundraising, etc. I gave 3 months notice so the organisation could restructure and was really looking forward to spending more time with my gorgeous little boys and doing part-time work for the local college.
Today, it hit me that I'd had my last payslip, was passing over control to someone else and would probably become one of those invisible 'old' people. It's actually not very nice and I have to keep reminding myself why I'm doing it.

Ere Tins. Your mother with the mobile reminds me.
Some weeks ago I popped over to see a friend I hadn't seen for some weeks, leaving Renee smarting somewhat as she had done her best to convince me she only had half an hour to live unless I took her to Home Bargains in Wigan for some life-saving elixir. Anyway, I stayed firm, told her I wouldn't be long and off I went, but forgot to take me phone. Never mind, I thought. Whoever rings will wait.
A couple of hours later I returned to find said blackmailer cleaning the windows.
Now, when Renee starts cleaning the windows you KNOW she's in a ragin' sulk. It's her little way of burning a bit of flesh in full view of the neighbours. She used to mow the front lawn when very, very p***d off about being left on her own, until the day she very nearly took out her own jugular vein tryin' to extract a stone from the Flymo while it was still plugged in. That was when I got a gardener on the job, bless him, he does a marvellous job on the garden when I'm not there but naturally he's put about 4 stone.
Anyway I digress.
"Ok. What's up?" says I, slightly despairing.
"Your phone's been ringing. Off the hook. Ringing and ringing, I tried to answer it but I can't work them ruddy things."
"Mother, you don't need to answer it, it will go to voicemail. Stop fretting."
"Well, it just kept ringing, drivin' me daft." she growled, a face like a bulldog chewin' a wasp.
And so, slightly concerned, I picked up said phone. "You have 12 voicemail messages.."
Crikey.
Guess what. The first message was from a friend in Ireland. The second, third, fourth, etc. etc., were from Renee. Telling me, in increasing stages of vexation, that me phone was ringing.
Jaysus.
