    MM Well done on bedtime at least your seeing some light at the end of the tunnel albeit it probably seems like a long tunnel :rotfl:

    apparently her sleep pattern is 10.30pm to 9am and by getting her to recognise this all I have to do is move it forward 15 mins every week or 30 mins every week if going well !! Since we are back at school in 4 weeks time, we are settling on 45 mins
    I should have her sleeping 8.30 to 7am before the end of the month if all goes according to plan !! But I have to say keeping her up till 10.30 is hard, I run out of ideas to occupy her :rotfl:
    :money: do you think we could get Martin to include it in his email :money:



    We do cards and a night away for our anniversary but don't do valentines - I hate it!!!! If you want to treat me, do it when you want to, not when Mr Hallmark tells you to :rolleyes:

    I forgot Mothers day this year, having not long given birth. I was devastated, my mum just said 'i don't need a card to know that you love me' :A

    we have never done valentines and Jas makes us a picture for mothers / fathers day - no bought cards or presents are allowed !!
    Birthdays are normally a dinner out somewhere and an early night, but our anniversary is the one day & night of the year we spend together, just us. Mum takes Jas and this year Dylan too and we do something or go somewhere and usually give each other a small gift :o, I just cant think of anything this year at all :rolleyes:
    Its our 3rd year so its leather and all chris can think of is smut :rolleyes::p:rotfl:

    Mr Benn is class - I have the complete series on DVD. I have a good memory though so I remember loads of stuff no one else my age remembers. Do you remember The Flumps? I've never found anyone else (except for my brothers) who remembers them - they all think Flumps are sweets.

    I love Mr Benn and the Flumps :D
    We have a new system at work where an outside company patrol the carpark every thurs ( checking disabled and parent/baby parking) issuing tickets to offenders - one colleague came to me to complain she had a parking ticket after parking in parent/baby bay for her 11 hr shift as she couldnt get in the colleagues car park:eek: she could have chosen any other space but this was nearer the door - I just said politely that she as she obviously didnt have a child with her she had to pay up what a cheek!! I dont need to add that this lady is childless:rotfl:

    I noticed signs like this are now up in our nearest sainsbury's. However - I stayed in the car with LO as she was asleep and watched a Middle aged man pull up and park in a parent and child space when he had no child with him - i'm surprised my fierce look didn't shatter the car window - but it made no difference:mad:

    Congratulations emlou - enjoy your night out tomorrow xxx

    I'm tired so off to bed for me.

    We do mothers and fathers day - I may choose to hate Mr Hallmark but I don't put my opinions on my mummy and daddy!!

    Hubbys family send us anniversary cards which frankly I find weird!!
    I do send SIL one though because she gets very upset if we don't (I didn't the first year I knew hubby!) and I don't want to upset her.


    Leather...shoes, a leather bound book, a bookmark (inside the Karma Sutra ;)), a steering wheel cover, leather gloves, a belt, leather trousers...degenerating into your hubbys territory!!

    How can they tell if you have a child if you take the baby seat with you?

    We don't do valentines at all, and don't buy cards or presents for our wedding anniversary but we do either go out for a meal or cook a special meal at home. We don't do Christmas cards to each other and just spend up to £10 on token gifts. On birthdays we just spend about £25 on a present and some sweets or other token gift from the children. They also just buy the token sweets type gift for mothers/fathers day as they like to take part, but I don't like them spending too much money on it.
    Here I go again on my own....
