    I just received a dog lead in the post (assuming it's a win!) ... we didn't have one for Izzy yet so it'll save me buying one :T

    Cathy - just waiting for bf to get out of bed then we'll be getting weighed - call it a final bout of exercise before the weigh in ;) Can't do it for real as it makes me cough but they say visualisation can be as good as the real thing :rotfl:

  • Cathy, if you mean me, yeah, I worked. I'm also working tonight. Tonight is a bit poo because I could have gone to a Paul Carrack concert or even seen a cute single friend of mine at another social gathering but I need the money too badly; this is my only job so I just need to get on with it.

    Still, I saved money last night because it was a Motocross event, so I got off my nut on the fumes, and didn't need to spend money on beer. LoL.

    Morning Campers
    PP our DS never slept either - awake every hour on the hour then 20 mins to get him back off again, hubby was working nights 12 hrs x 6 days a week so I ended up taking him into our bed - not the best solution in the long run as took ages to wean him into his own bed but it meant when he woke up I was next to him and he dropped off quicker - more sleep for both of us - only thing that kept me sane that year.
    Swimming really tires him out - does lo go to classes? may be an idea
    We tried melatonin - safest of the medicines available for that age but only worked for a limited time
    We also found bribery helped lol - not pc I know but - 7 nights not getting out of bed or shouting for a treat
    Happy with any wins this year :A

    hi all:D

    mum took pity on me this morning and has cleaned the whole house, so one less thing to worry about:Dkids had popcorn for snack and they somehow managed to burn the plate it was sitting on, did in microwave, popcorn bit burnt as well but was still edible:rotfl:

    havent put lo for sleep this morn and have taken his bed rail off his bed, just gonna get him totally sorted now, begin as i mean to go on, also chucking out his highchair and just put him on a normal seat now, also need to potty train him, so looking forward to that, fingers crossed he sleeps tonight and i get some sanity back in my life:D
