    Little Samuel seems ok but doesn't settle well between feeds. Sometimes takes and hour to settle at about 4am which is upsetting daughter a bit.
    10.5lb now.

    Is she breast feeding? I found Nathan was using breast as a comforter so took him off and walked with him a bit to break the habit. Nights are pretty much routine now but days can be a total biatch!

    He just put on 3oz last week so 11lb 1oz but he's almost too long for 0-3 clothes!!!

    Well my washing machine is being a retard.... after I had to buy another once 6 months ago because of the PREVIOUS one being a retard. They were both 2nd hand.
    So I've bought a happy new Indesit Moon for £260 (£10 back through quidco) which includes a 5 yr parts guarantee and is brand new. But I had to buy it on credit.. :rolleyes:

    Way I see it is the last one cost £90 and lasted 6 months. The old old one cost £200 2nd hand and lasted 2 years. The new one was £250 if you take into account quidco and is A+ and A rated with a 5 year guarantee. So I'm bound to save money right?
    and it looks cool as hell and is going to go with the new kitchen paint job I've decided I'm having :D:D

    £260 for a new WM seems to be pretty good going, especially with a 5yr guarantee. HOw much is the credit costing you?

    I think that that was maybe a good investment IA.

    She's bottle feeding Luc.

    What's up Squizz?

    :eek: - still at least you can pay it off as quickly as you can manage rather than being locked into a repayment plan.

    In other news - I transferred another £1400 to my ISA so now have £5k in there:j. I have £1600 to last me until I get a new job or will have to dip into the savings...

    Has she tried swithching to a bottle of boiled water once she knows he's fed enough on milk?

    Just the usual work rubbish. There seems to be an epidemic of stupidity and amnesia going on here today!

    I know. :rolleyes: But I'm not worried about my debt at the minute. Going to be going back to work in the next 6-12 months so will repay it all when I'm earning a wage. At the moment it stands (now-post washing machine lol) at £1200 anyway so it's not unmanagable or causing a problem :)
