Sammy and MP - the trick I founde to potty training is to NOT stress, with my eldest I stressed so much and we started and stopped, nightmare, with littlest I just let her decide and I am not joking she literraly took her nappy on off and went dry day and night, I just let her decide.

Thats what we figure we will do. Can't be dealing with the screaming! Be nice to stop buying nappies sometime soon but never mind (don't mind so much since I found the Boots pull-ups are so much better than pampers and cheaper too!!)
Thanks

MP - I can make this promise to you - your little one will not be wearing nappies when they are 18!!!!!

:rotfl: I would quite happily leave her in nappies till she went to school, so much easier, but she wants to go to dance class bless her! She's a little groover and they won't take her in nappies - she is quite able to communicate and is even dry at night and has been for a long time. It feels weird taking a dry nappy off in a morning just for her to fill the next one on in five mins flat.

She has twigged that if she waits long enough I will put a nappy back on her, so this time I am not giving in.

ahhhh DD has got a sickness bug so we have been up for hours in the night clearing up sick! Delightful. Now if you want to know how useful men are this will make you laugh. DD came into our room jumped into bed with me and then said my tummy hurts...wait for it sick everywhere. I said to H (notice lack of DH) can you get a bowl she is being sick. So what does he come back with....the smallest cereal bowl imaginable! I mean who uses a cereal bowl to be sick in...the washing up bowl anything big enough to catch sick was kind of what I was looking for!

So no work for me today, hopefully be able to do a bit of fly lady and start a Christmas list

Everyone's feeling sick at the moment! Funny how we all catch the bugs on here too! Makes me feel slightly better about feeling urgh!

Welcome gtx :wave: the £10 a day challenge is a tough one, but I think the key is to keep reading and posting on the thread, as loads of ideas get posted on there. But don't stress about it, at the end of the day, even if you only raise an extra £20 all month, it's still £20 you wouldn't have had otherwise.

Sammy, actually being dry at night can quite often happen first. There's a chemical in your brain that concentrates the urine, so you don't produce as much volume. That's why even much younger children are often pretty much dry in a morning and then fill their nappy almost as soon as they wake.

(I know this because DS doesn't have enough of the chemical, so is still not dry at 8 - but that's quite common on the autism spectrum I think).

And that chemical alters again when you are pregnant so that you return to needing the [STRIKE]potty[/STRIKE] loo during the night - kind of training for when little un appears (is that a bit random? )

:grouphug: for all the poorlies today...

So, potty training is a barrel of laughs, then? Still I bet it is a long way off for me, my vague plan is just to let DS lead the way though I expect to be told I'm lazy by my mother :rolleyes:

I've dropped DS at nursery to work from home this morning but I don't feel good about it... it's !!!! really, I feel under pressure to be working and not look like the unreliable one. I explained this to his keyworker though, she is ace, and will phone me if she thinks he should be home with me. I'd take the whole day and have him here but I've got a meeting this afternoon same again tomorrow and I don't know where to start...
