Oh bless DS, at least he will be feeling a bit brighter now his tooth has cut.

Rags i have to be out of the house at 7.50am,only way i can do it is to be really organised, school uniform and shoes put out night before and that includes my clothes, book bags etc put in the car the evening before, cereal bowls etc out on the table before i go to bed, everyone showered night before, i usually get up about 6.15am have first cup of tea in peace whilst i get dressed and once i'm ready i wake the little ones, it probably is easier for me as mine are older and can dress/feed themselves, but i find if i'm organised and know were everything is i'm not as stressed (or as my daughter says going off on one).

Lol!! Mine was only from Tesco and cost £24 not quite £1000s from Harrods!!:rotfl:
It has taken me quite a few goes to perfect the bread, first couple were more house bricks than bread!! Did try the jam setting and made some Raspberry jam which was quite nice. In the summer will make some more.

Ive decided being organised can make such a massive difference to your day.
Bless you miemie I bet that 6.15 peace and quiet cuppa is golden.

Oh Pips mum believe me it is, i'm a dragon in a morning and to just have those first 10mins peace with a hot cup of tea, bliss:D . If i don't get it because i've woken up late or the kids have got up early thats me in a stonking mood for the rest of the day.

well my head is well and truley battered!!!! ds2 is a grumpy grumpy baby due to tooth and ds1 is trying very hard to beat his record of so many tantrums in the shortest amount of time!!!! he was my angel this morning but now............ am sure he is just tired, made him go to bed last night at half 6 and will be doing the same tonight. dont have to get up in the morning so hopefully he will catch up on the sleep he needs. if one of them isnt crying or whinging its the other!!!!!!!!!!!

thinking a bath and milky drink then bed for them both!!!!!!!!!!!!! then me...............

think i am gonna start getting up the same time everyday and grab myself a cuppa before the kiddiewinks wakes up, thanks miemie!!!!!!

good morning everyone, really need waking up this morning as ds2 up again most of the night. not sure whether he is waking up as hungary (not had a night feed since 2 months old) or whether its his tooth??? everytime i thought right, he if doesnt settle in a min i will go do him a bottle he fell asleep..... sods law.

set my alarm for 7am, thinking can get up, have a quick shower then a nice hot cuppa, looked into cot next to me as ds2 was looking back at me smiling, then ds1 walked in singing good morning!!!!!! plan well and truley pooped!

going to try ds2 on the hungary baby milk again (made him ill last time) as it has been 2 months since we last tried it. going to start on the one bottle at night and see how we go from there. when they talk about weaning they always say dont start till 6 months............now is that 30 weeks or 6 calender months as ds2 is 4 calender months but 19 weeks?????? doesnt add up.

sorted out my spreadsheet so will be in putting all spends so can see exactly where the money is going so can set realistic budget. think thats where i have been going wrong, i underestimate how much we spend on things.

right off to do my scratchcards and daily clicks,
anyone for a brew??
love rags

bless you! and poor ds he might be hungry or could be his teeth,its hard when your not sure isnt it! give the hungry milk a go again and hopefully it wont cause him any bother this time! WIth dd1 they said 4 mths to wean and she was sooo ready for it, started waking in the night as well because she was hungry so the day she was 4mths i started weening her! When i had dd2 they had changed it to 6mths, she wasnt as hungry and didnt really needed weening till 5 and a half mths so i did it then rather then wait till the 6mths, i thought i didnt do dd1 any harm doing it at 4 mths so didnt make her wait till the full 6mths.... i think they count the 6mths mark as 24 weeks?? and 4 mths as 16 weeks....they work it as 4 weeks for a mth. So i did dd1 at 16 weeks and dd2 at 22 weeks only gave then a few bits and slowly introduced it etc, only baby rice and fruit and veg till 6 mths...Bless him.

I am useless at getting up before the Girls!! I often have good intentions to get up a little earlier and then be more organised before they wake up, but when it comes to the morning i would rather have them few more mins in bed!! Will have to try harder!! Its going to be hard getting both the girls ready and feed a hungry baby etc come march!!

Hope you have a good day

i weaned ds1 at 4 months, started just before they brought in the 6 month rule, and yeah he is fine. going to give the hungary baby milk a go but think really he is ready to start weaning. doing all the classic signs, waking at night, polishes off a 9oz bottle every feed, watches every mouthful we take and think he would grab the fork given half the chance. think i will leave it till next week to start weaning, give me a chance to get all the stuff together and least i can say i started at 5 months. he is 20 weeks on sun so may try him with some baby rice then. my little baby is growing up, boo hoo!!!!

now, just have to remember what to do when weaning................

mummy2mygirls

bless he does sound hungry doesnt he!! im sure it will be fine at 20 weeks! You can tell when they need it.
Now its the messy time when you start!! lol
