Mazcabs, I do the postal survey as well, have you come up with any good ideas for the stamps?

From what Sami says you can sell them on Ebay but you may not get a good price although as they were free anyway I guess it doesnt matter!

They don't go anywhere near Rhys though.. They were for sunshades in the car when we went to Notts Currently draped over the end of his cot and up over his toy arch before the poor mite gets frown lines from squinting in the sun!

Sorry
I did use mine for laying on the bed when feeding laying down for a while (Benjamin used to dribble when he fell asleep and I would end up sleeping in a wet patch :rolleyes:)



Well all my boy wants to do in this heat is sleep! We went to baby massage (after I made sure he had a nap beforehand) and he did half the class before he began to whine so I stuck him on the boob to calm him and he was asleep in 30 seconds!!

He is really starting to master this rolling over lark too...although sometimes he gets his little arm stuck! Thing is, once he has rolled over onto his front he decides he doesn't like it and screams to be turned back!!

I'm so jealous. Alice has been the opposite. When we get her up for the toilet in the night she won't settle but if we don't get her up then she wakes in the middle of the night. Last night she only had 8 hours sleep - she took an hour to go to sleep and then was up for three hours in the middle of the night. :eek:

I don't use muslins at all... I have some burp cloths my Mum bought when I was pregnant that are like long flannels with coloured cotton on one side, toweling on the other... Otherwise there's usually a terry nappy lurking in the bottom of the pram... And a big white blanket that gets draped over the hood of the pram for a sunshade...

My little girl so wants to be mobile... I left her in her blossom farm donkey and ran into the kitchen to put the nappy in the bucket this morning and when I walked back in the room she was hanging upside down over the edge because she'd kicked herself back so hard! And now she's lying face down over my knees and her little legs are going like nobodys business trying to move forward...

I had a real trauma yesterday, she was asleep on hubby so I thought it would be an ideal time to trim her nails (they grow so quick!!) but he shifted her and she woke up and moved her hand just as I was on her second nail... Managed to catch the skin it's only a tiny little bit right at the top of her nail but it bled a bit... I've popped a plaster on it just because she's always curling her fists up and I don't want it to be sore... I just can't believe I did it... I managed to get through the last 5 years without nearly chopping the tip of Aimee's finger off...

Krystal I wouldn't feel too bad - I can imagine it's easily done and cutting Alexandra's nails is a task and a half too
She's spent most of the day in the jungle swing (I LOVE THAT THING!) only really coming out for feeds (every hour or so) and then moaning cos it's too hot, soon as she's back in the swing she settles straight away bless her It's in a fairly (HA!) cool part of the house and she isn't getting sticky from me sweating buckets so guess it's more comfy than sitting on mummy

Just tried Caitlyn in her swing... She's not so keen... But then she did just have a feed and fall straight to sleep... Thunder storm just started here, had to run out and rescue half a load of washing from the line... It's just finishing off in the drier with the towels now...

Oooh... A spam button!
