    Evening Lunar well done on your crown :T

    I would be tempted to keep the vouchers for presents personally.

    I was a Dyson queen but they are a lot of cash. I bought a brand new hoover off ebay for £25 including postage and it is just as good.

    Not made my decission about the vouchers yet. Which model hoover did you get doodledo? Do you have to change a bag? I think I will wait till our current one packs up completly before replacing it, we might get a few more months out of it.

    Just 4 weks left until we properly move into the new house. I am so looking forward to it. As we dont have a car right now it is so hard to get over there to check everything is ok. On public transport its 2.5 - 3 hrs, 3 buses plus one tram. I have to admit to getting a taxi for £40 yesterday as I had to be there at 8am for the sofas being delivered. A friend did pick me up to bring me home though so it was a pretty easy day.

    I really need to sit and look at all the our account balances, no overpayments are going out right now as we are paying the rent/mortgage and seem to be finding spending money too easy right now.

    By August 1st we should have got everything in control again and the debt will be going down again. At least we havent added anything to it since we bought the house.

    the fact that you are not adding to your debt is really positive! Once you have moved in properly, you will soon be back on the debtbusting path!

    I can't remember which one it was but I have done a dooyoo review on it.

    Yeah its bagless, would never go back to a bag now. Just checked its an Electrolux Vitesse.

    I really need to get reviewing again on dooyoo, just so busy with getting ready to move and DS is at an age where I really dont get any time with two hands free for typing.

    We went to the health visitor yesterday and she has made me really stressed about his weight. He is just under 2nd percentile. He is still breastfeeding and is eating solids with every meal. she wants me to start adding cheese to all his meals. He really isnt skinny looking and he has never been sick but she has got me in a panic. Of course he then refeused all solid meals yesterday. I really dont know if I should be worried or not?

    Just updated the debt totals, its slowly going down. We dont have much more to spend now for the house though and we have paid the last rent payment. Just the removal compant to pay and we can get debt busting properly again.

  • Hi hun,

    Go with your natural instinct with DS, I found that when the weather is hot neither of my two wanted to eat much and the GP always told me that as long as they are having fluids they are okay.

    DS will tell you if he's hungry and from what you say you are doing everything right, so don't worry.

    Just managed to get some mashed potato with cheese and a couple of pieces of chicken down DS for lunch, he is now busy eating/squishing blueberries. Thanks for the reasurance Tea, these health visitors sure know how to make you feel like you are doing a rubbish job at being a parent.

  • Yup, we abandoned ours not long after both ours were born because they interfered too much.

    .

    How old is he lunar? My present foster child who I have had since last October is around the 2% mark as well but she is very healthy but everybody who sees her thinks she is a lot younger than she is (she will be 1 on Monday) Is he sticking to his line? I agree with purpletea go with your instincts mothers do know best. After all some children have to be on the 2% line to even out those on the 98% line it is an average after all and the consultant who saw her last said the lines were wrong anyway and he was happy with my little girl.

    He is 8.5 months, and started out on the 25th line. He is half indian though and I think Indian babies are a little lighter on average anyway. He seems healthy to us and like I said he has never been sick.
