    Anyone watched the thing about poverty on CH4? I can't help thinking that they can't be that poor when the mum of the family is huge - if you can't afford much food how'd ya get so fat?

    Hehe, yeah I saw it.. That thought didn't cross my mind tho :p

    Sami - you eat shoite :D
    EDIT - I don't mean YOU eat shoite...I mean that is how 'you' (being a hypothetical person) get fat when you have no money.

    Its not that I don't get on with my mum...but it just feels wierd!! I wonder if I will tailor what I put on there now because I know she is watching??

    I still have a bizarre 'wanting to please' thing going on with my parents - they make me feel like a child!!

    I am thinking about buying a hand-held electrical pump for when I have to go to work. The Medela Swing is hardly what you would call portable and it is so noisy and the TT handheld is okay, I find it quite effective, but it makes my hand hurt!!

    SM - have you been checked for anaemia or anything? After I had DD I looked like death, really had no colour at all and just looked ill! I was borderline anaemic, nothing major, the main thing is - I just need my sleep! Once I got more of it, I was good. How old is your baby?
    .

    hes 8 weeks on monday .. i can go to bed before 11pm min as i wake up when its jayden feed at about 3-6am (usually 4ish though) and i cant go back .. my bl00dy awkward body.. i was thinking of getting a check for anaemia as i got it really bad when i had my ectopic my iron levels was barely 3 and i got a feeling it maybe the same as i feel low enegry just lately and i got dizzy doing my wii fit last night for only 20mins x

    Button moons we've taken millie to disneyland paris twice, the first time was a couple of weeks before she was two, what did you want to know?

    Cheapest way to book it is direct with disney but do a few searches around the dates/length of stay as they often have fab deals on for free extra days, Avoid being there at the weekend if at all possible, it gets horrifically busy.

    ETA SM get yourself some iron tablets, but wowee how cute is Jayden???? Gorgeous boy!

    Well I'd probably die if I exercised for 20minutes and I didn't just have a baby 2months ago :o Maybe your just doing a bit too much too soon? Or could be not eating enough? I'd get a check up done at the docs just incase though :)

    Really? I thought it would of been cheaper to book into a hotel maybe just outside disney, preferabbly one that supplied tickets!

    Well, just roughly the price I should be looking at for 2 adults and 2 children (I'd probably take my 5yo sister as she'd never get to go there otherwise) I think they sometimes do the children go free? DD is 3 and Ellie would be 5 (if we went before Dec)

    Is it cheaper flying or eurostar/ferry - do they do deals etc? It's all such a mindfield! But DD really wants to go to disney (so do I) she loves "cinderelly" and all those buzz lightyear characters.

    Well we thought it was worth it to stay in a disney hotel cos it is special for the kids and you do get extra time in the parks plus your tickets are included, but there are some hotels outside disney which include the tickets, they are on the disney website too have a play on this http://offers.disneylandparis.co.uk/special-offers/extra-day-and-night-free.xhtml#

    We flew using a cheapo airline, we got flights for £10 each going and £15 coming back, eurostar/ferry wasn't really an option for us cos we are up in Leeds and it would have added a days travelling.

    The most expensive bit is eating whilst you are there it costs an arm and a leg.
