Last time I saw JK was when I was having my GTT in the hospital. :rotfl:

*bit of a moan*

Well, it looks like BIL could be here for a while

I rang MIL about the situation and so she rang him and asked him what was happening about a flat. Apparently his mate is getting a lift in now so doesn't mind travelling & isn't fussed about getting a flat. BIL is resitting an exam in June and after that he will be starting a training contract so he could end up moving anywhere in the UK - so would be living somewhere for less then 6months (unlikely to get a 4-5 month contract).

He's going to speak to his mate and let her know the situation. I have said to her that I don't want him to stay but I guess I could put up with it if he contributed more each week and maybe offered to cook once a week or pay for a takeaway.

I don't mind doing everything for OH - he's my OH, he works full-time and I don't mind cooking for him, doing his dirty washing and stuff but I don't see why I should have to do it for BIL.

I feel sorry for MIL - I really laid it all on her! She then text me and offered to lend me the money for my car tax which I politely declined and said I would manage - I've been pleading poverty as a way of getting more rent out of BIL

Just need to let her know if I need anything for J and she will put the money in my account.

I guess BIL isn't so bad but I think when we get an idea of what's going on I'll sit BIL down and go through some ground rules & extra rent.

oh, so not good news. has he never cooked or bought a takeaway??? he's been there months!!!!

oh just seen the time need to dash

chat later

LOL - a burping song is just MFD-madness!! I have little ditties for everything, most of my day is spent singing about what is happening (or was - I'd feel a little silly singing about burping or being a Super Pooper when I am out on site!!)

Anyway, basically the way it goes was finish feeding and then hold baby upright either on shoulder or under armpits, then bounce gently up and down and sing:

'Where's ya burper, burpy, burpy, burp-errr, Where's ya burper, burpy, burpy....*silence waiting for baby to fill in gap in a comedy timing kinda way*'

It's more like a football chant

These days Benjamin shouts 'uh' when we get to the gap :rotfl:

I'll get back in my box now, I forget that not everyone knows how strange I am

Got no chance of us forgetting, that's why we love you. :T

I'm mad too and I googled it.... you might like this one better (I think its cute)

Ah, that takes you to the site, you need to click on 'baby burping song' in the blue box on the right.

I need to learn some songs because when i sing to Amber it's all jibberish. Something about pinky ponky poo, tinky tonky too

:rotfl:(she loves this 'song' and always smiles lol)

Last night wasn't too bad, and i hadn't been to a shop to invest in gripe water so i'm definitely going to get some today.
She started fussing at around 8pm and i spent the whole night on a mission to get the wind out, finally got her settled at around 12:30am and she fell asleep in her basket til 6:45am. Then she fed and went straight back to sleep.
I fed her less last night cos it was as if i was going back to square one everytime she had milk, and i was getting teeny occasional burps and bit of milk (why does she only ever puke when i forgot to put the sheet over my shoulder?).

So the gripe water - i give this automatically after a feed, or only when she starts really fussing? How long does it take to work?

searching_me · 22 January 2010 at 10:29AM

just got back from shop and zoes school .. quite annoyed at zoes school as they have no account of zoes milk being paid yet shes had it for 2 weeks but this week nothing but the receception said she would put her down for it today and look in to it .. ooo i am impressed with myself i had £1.50p and managed to get a tin of beans, a carton of juice, a reduced fat moouse, a chocolate brownie and a small bottle of pop (zoes end of week treat if i hear good news from school) and still came home with 7p change ... god i missed my OS ways .. or am i sad that i get a little over happy from stuff like that

Beenie, give it when she starts fussing and you should see it work straight away... Aimee loved it, I would see her uncurl as the gripe water went down... Caitlyn choked on it and then rewarded me with the entire contents of her stomach... So it could go either way...

Do you have a home bargains close by? It's cheaper there than boots...

BeenieCat · 22 January 2010 at 10:34AM

SM you have to pay for Zoe to have milk at school? I don't think DS still gets it but he did in reception but i never paid for it. They get fruit on a morning but not sure if they get milk with it.

Thanks Krystal, nearest HB is 15 miles away so i was gonna get it from Asda if they sell it. I'm excited about that nasty wind getting shown the boot

Morning all, good news my sister had a little girl at 3am today called Daisy Dawn

I had a chat with her about 6.30 and they are both doing well although she said labour was short but very painful! I am so pleased now we are travelling down tonight so get to see her tomorrow.

GISI - I sent off my tax credits the week after New Year and got the confirmation on Wednesday. whats that 2 weeks - no idea on dates.

I have to pack enough stuff for a week stay away and tidy the house plus have a couple of friend coming over for coffee so prob not going to be on for a while have fun all.

Oh yeah burping song I have started singin B*U*R*P*Y to the tune of D*I*S*C*O then making up stuff in between.

Jillie - so jealous about your Bumbo deal well done. Was that just on ebay? I might have to keep an eye out.

My_Fathers_Daughter · 22 January 2010 at 10:39AM

LOL SM! We all get excited at our own little things

Harley - gonna have to wait until I am alone in the office to listen to the burping song! People might realise that I am not working :shhh:

Beenie - you might get 1/3rd off gripewater at Sainsburys ATM? Is it still on anyone?

Edit:
Yay Karen - you make me look normal!!
