    Hey hey!

    I came over all MSE today and decided to tackle part of the school uniform shop. I went to Sainsburys for the 3 for 2 offer on uniforms and got 4 pairs of school trousers and 12 school shirts (2 children at school) for £21.50 .... then found out I had £10 worth of nectar points I could redeem ... so school uniform so far has cost me £11.50!!! I just have to get shoes, school cardi for DD and school coats for both DD and DS and it's done! Everything else is fine from last year! Fab!

    Thanks Toto. I have yet to persuade my mother of the benefits of cashback sites. She's completely suspicious and untrusting of giving personal info on the web:confused:

    Might have a word with Pa as he was very interested in the MSE website and some of the things I've been doing.;)

    Thanks Jet, I'm hoping to breasfeed though so shouldn't need one right:confused:

    I'm going to breastfeed too but one of the first things I bought was a breast pump and bottles etc. Hubby isn't using the breastfeeding excuse to stay in bed at night :rotfl:

    I'd get a pump and steriliser if only for your own sanity! Otherwise you'll find that you can never be away from the baby for more than an hour which gets to be VERY claustrophobic after a few months!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I know you can express milk but read somewhere you should avoid bottlefeeding and breastfeeding as it can cause the baby to have difficulty latching on?:confused:

    It would be nice if Hubbles could feed the baby occasionally cos I'm worried he'll feel left out otherwise. We've already agreed he'll have bath/bedtime routine duties as his special time with Bean to try and balance it a bit. We're both still trying to pass the buck on the nappy issue so I guess we'll end up sharing that one!!!:rotfl:

    Once they are an established feeder (ie-they go into the feeding frenzy stage when they are feeding from around 7pm until midnight every night) it won't be a problem
