Hugs Caz - so glad you're getting help, and gladder OH is helping you to get help!




Not a weirdo at all! The tooth fairy takes the teeth so that the new babies can grow some, the dummy fairy takes dummies for the new babies, bottle fairy takes bottles for the new babies - and so on!!




Not a bad mother at all! So long as you don't turn into one of the mothers off the BBC3 programme last night. Did anyone see it?:eek:http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00lvf60/Baby_Beauty_Queens/
I haven't watched it all yet - Top Gear was on at the same time - but Mum kept texting me telling me how 'wrong' it all was.
Maybe we should set up a MSE Parents Club Modelling Agency - as we already know we have the most beautiful babies!


Sorry if i've missed anything important - I've hardly been on over the weekend - DD had her dancing show Friday and Saturday night - so we had to sit through 4 hours of performing children - twice! :mad: And OH and I have been trying to make an effort!

And finally - my beautiful darling daughter who sleeps at night for 12 hours - decided that 3am was a good time to wake up for a play and giggle for an hour. :eek:

I watched that programme, absolutely shocking!
All but one family were bloody awful.

I've had something strange happen with my TT CTN Bottles - has anyone else, or am I doing something wrong?
They've not been used much - only the odd expressed bottle, but i've just noticed a couple of them looked a bit cracked, and one when you press the cracky bit, it all brittle. I poked my finger right through!
When they've been used, i've rinsed them out, put them in the dishwasher, then the microwave steriliser. (Are you not meant to dishwash them?)

And sterilising/cleanliness - Violet has just had dinner. When she'd finished, I went off to search for the baby wipes - and came back to a giggling baby with lovely clean face - the dog had cleaned it for us! :eek:

I have (this is for Chris too so u'd need to check age suitability on the boxes)
paracetamol(calpol)
ibruprophen (nurophen)
Medised (good for chesty coughs, pain and makes them sleep:))

Sorry if this has already been said but my comp is stupidly slow so cant be botherd to check

Medised is not to be given to children under the age of 6 now :rolleyes:
Went to buy some a couple of months ago, pharmasist asked me how old DS is and said he cant sell it to me!
I've been giving it to him since he was well young (last box I had said from age 2 on it)

I use these and mine have been fine, I will watch out for that now!! They are suitable for dishwashing though, so that shouldn't have caused it.

LOL at the dog cleaning Violet's face:p

Thanks for storage ideas. Feelie, yup, pots are reusable, just wash and sterilise I'm just at the point where I've got that many full and nothing to store the new stuff in - eat more Rhys, eat more!

Builders are back. Son is armed with a sledgehammer and my front wall has disappeared! :eek: There have been a few rumbles of thunders and there are dark clouds coming our way so they better get on with the boarding up sharpish!

Nurse is due shortly. Got a whole list of questions to ask and it's bugging me that I'm sure there is something else I mean to ask but can't remember what it is!

Going to whip up a sandwich for after nurse has gone..

Any recommendations for milk storage pots/bags for the freezer?

I brought home 25 x 50ml pots and about 8 x 130ml pots from the hospital and they're nearly all in the freezer now.. Don't suppose anywhere normal does 50ml size pots, do they? (50ml being a Rhys size feed )

I've got tesco milk bags and the older version of THESE pots not used either yet tho I can check how much the little pots hold if you like?

We got 'accepted' by two child modelling agencies (Scallywags and Elisabeth Smith) but OH went along to the initial picture shoot thing and was very offput by the environment and how everyone was treated, decided it wasn't worth any potential income (especially with the up front charges which I think were 250 quid). Will be interesting to hear how you go with it!

And "yes a bit, lube, no big deal".

Phew! Glad I'm not the only one

Which is exactly why I decided NOT to apply to either of those although I looked them both up

I thought that Modelling angencies weren't allowed to charge now, didn't a new legislation come in to stop the ones that are a con?

Lol at the Dog cleaning babies face, that is so gross! The cat might try something like that, he loves to like plates clean - especially when something chocolately or milky has been eaten. The devil even tries to eat of your plate when you haven't finished!

Baby Models - I'm not sure why, but I find the whole thing distasteful. Personally, I think a babies job is being a baby. Perhaps I hold that view because I know I wouldn't have liked to have it done to me. I think Toby is the most beautiful thing in the world, and I'd probably cry if someone disagreed with me on that!

Redmel - gaming is much more fun when you have someone watching you! OH often got annoyed at me making him watch replays of things I'd done. Is there somewhere a bit more communal the boys could play, but not in the way? As a kid, I had the NES in the backroom. Enough so I wasn't out of the way, but didn't annoy my parents too much. Can't believe the Gadget show though, saying the iPhone is a betting handheld gaming device that the DS or the PSP.

Krystal - hope you feel better soon. I know what you mean about replying on an iPhone, I used to browse on my phone. Gave up on that little screen and got a diddly little netbook instead. Big enough to type, but small enough to perch on the arm of the sofa whilst I'm feeding.

Elle - perhaps rotate your freezer stock? Use up the milk in the 50ml pots, and refill them. Any excess you get that you can't fit in the 50ml pots, put in larger tubs? He'll be eating more in the not too distant future, so you could keep 'fresher' frozen milk in 50ml ones, using that, and put excess in 100ml tubs? (Does that make sense?)
