Have any of you ladies (or your OHs) applied for flexible or part time work since having kids?

Morning all just reading through and catching up, Hope your all ok.... Dont seem to have a multiple quote button so Im doing this as I come across them sorry!

Feelie, My OH applied for this and didnt have any issues! he changed his working hoursfrom 8.30 - 4.30 to 7.00am - 3pm. But he did already have the option of flexi times in his contract - basically as long as he does his 37.5 hours a week and they are roughly business times then he can work whenever. Good luck if thats what OH is going for x

Hope its all still on course for Rhys coming home. fingers crossed.

Has anyone got one of those inflatable ready beds? thinking of getting one as have a couple of visits to do and need bed for Henry but not sure whether they are any good, plus he is not quite 2 yet? He's been a bit of a sod over the weekend, not sure if its his last 4 back teeth coming through and giving him grief.... On a plus side, needed new shoes for him at the weekend and managed to get some in the sale at Clarks!!

Are you trying to put us off coming?

Just trying to be a proper big boobie and provide alarming sandwiches! Actually it was little boobie that was the purveyor of dodgy sandwiches wasn't it?

I got a call on Wednesday to discuss going for La Leche training, didn't pick the message up until Friday tea time so I need to call her back today. So soon, I may really be a big/little/medium boobie :-)

Feelie, are you around? (You okay? ) I was wondering where you hired your hospital grade pump from? Was it the Medela Symphony you got? I've got the Medela Swing but it looks like I'm going to be expressing longterm so I think it would be best to hire the "heavy duty" version! Just wanting to be cheeky really and pinch your research if you looked into the rental costs from various places Thanks heaps! Anyone else feel free to chip in to

Cheapest place I found was my local NCT rep, I got her number from my quaterly book. Went to pick it up (at the arranged time, phoned her a few hours before) and she wasn't in! Phoned her mobile and she didn't answer, and never got back to me. I was gutted, cried all the way home, swore I was going to give up, then panicked and felt guilty and ordered on for next day deliery (£25 extra for Saturday!) from ExpressYourselfMums. So I didn't really do much research, oops.

I am pretty sure that it was Caz that put Charlie in a suitcase when they went on holiday AGES ago - before Erin was born. I remember thinking that it was absolutely ingeneous!!


(sp???)

Yes it was me! we thought we could hire a travel cot as ours was broken but they didnt have any left:( he slept great in the suitcase lol!) we had just arrived, had dinner and put him down and the bedding hadnt been delivered yet lol! llok at the colour of his sleepsuit with crawling on the caravan floor pmsl:rotfl:

I got one a while ago when they were mentioned in the mailout (woohoo only £16 ) Chris has the Rory Racing car one and loves it, we got it for Mum's caravan but he's insited on sleeping in it a few times when just staying over at theirs
Top tip though - get an electric/battery pump for it, the pump you get is a bit rubbish and it takes ages to pump up with it!

Whee, Elijah slept through last night, 7.30 to 7.20! One of only a few times he's slept through in his life... he did have a 5 minute wail before going to sleep, but it really wasn't too bad, never reached top levels of frenzy. Early days but it does so far seem like crying it out has worked really quickly which if true is good but I still hate it. Silly babies.

LOVE the baby in the suitcase! I want to buy a suitcase and go stay somewhere now purely to do that

Toby only fed once in the night last night, perhaps the growth spurt is over! He used to sleep 6-7 hours at a time, so I'm hoping we'll be back to that soon.

The house is a messs today. I tried to vacuum but every time I turn it on he starts crying. He hasn't been bothered by it before. Any tips?
