Oh Caz - sorry forgot to say congrats to your OH.

Emlou - have you looked at the cashback sites to see if there's anyone offering a good deal so you could buy a new one? I use Topcashback which doesn't charge any fees. Not sure if it would work out cheap enough for you? That sounds really expensive for 2nd hand

we cant afford a new one so going to try and get the freeads as soon as it comes out this week, we can just about do without a washing machine but no way can we do without a fridge!!

But to be honest - we find tummy time is best with a big fleece blanket on the floor and mummy, daddy or big brother (or sometimes all 3 LOL) getting down on Benjamins level and having some fun!!

As for me and hubby - good food, good wine, good sex and a good old natter - it was like the old days!!!

glad you had a good night away!
we definitely find tummy time only goes well if it is accompanied - if we turn him over on the floor and move away for a second all hell breaks loose!!

Emlou, have you tried looking/asking on freecycle?

Mfd, glad you had a good night away and well done Ben!

Elle, bloody brilliant news! Hooray for Rhys!

Caz - congrats on your OH's job:D

MFD - Glad you had a nice night away.....did you sit there half the evening saying, 'I wonder if he's in bed yet?' 'Do you think he drank all his milk?' and the like??? Or were you both OK about leaving him:)

Tine - That sports centre sounds great, I wonder if my local one does anything like that? Awww your poor dh, did he cope OK?

I got annoyed with my hubby this evening, after tidying up half the day and doing everything for Kai, as usual... I bathed him and then put him in his bouncy chair, which I then placed conveniently at dh feet;) I went up with the older two to oversee them getting bathed/PJ'd/Clean teeth etc...and after literally about 30secs dh came storming up the stairs and dumped Kai in my arms....apparantly 'he wouldn't stop whining':mad::mad:

I've been virtual car hunting:) I haven't got the money till the end of Sept, but wanted to choose what type of car to look for. So I have been online browsing, trying to narrow it down:rolleyes:

We were fine Mel! I did check with my mum that all was well but I enjoyed being able to forget about mummy things for the night. I did find it hard this morning when there was a family sat having breakfast with their kids being cute - I needed to come home straight away then.

Do you think that it is a confidence thing with your hubby? Sometimes I think that OH's just convince themselves that they can't 'do it' when they so obviously can.

What kind of car are you looking at?

ooh Mel I can't look at cars because we have no restraint and would end up buying OH wants one of these http://c4picasso.citroen.com/uk/

He did ok - they were all still alive when I got home

He did look a little like a lost puppy but I'll give him his due - he knew I was only 5/10 mins away at any point and COULD have called my mobile but he just kept trying to calm her and feeding her etc Only difference really was I've been doing it nearly 24/7 since she was born and he hasn't - wasn't for lack of trying or goodwill

Our local sport centre used to be pants and quite icky - it got sold by the council to a sports centre chain and now it's actually nice I'm trying to decide on whether to join now or wait a month tho I really want to get a bit fitter as soon as possible - especially some back strengthening exercises - my back is still shot to pieces and only thing I can think of is some exercises to strengthen it...

:j Yay, Rhys! You must be on cloud 9, elle! :j


MFD, glad your evening went well!


Mel, when I had Poppy I was convinced DH would just panic and call for me. Honestly, I couldn't have a wee in peace! :rolleyes: I would rush to go see to her but then I decided to leave him to it, not in a horrible way, but just so he had to deal with it and think, yes, you're her Daddy, she is yours too! .

And I would decide to have a shower at totally random times so he had no choice and I couldn't hear him calling :rotfl:.
