    the day has just got even better - we hadnt made our first rent payment yet and OH asked me to ring the landlady and ask if we could pay it 6 days late every month to coincide with his payday and to give him a payday month off paying it, which i did, and luckily she was fine, but i'd rather he had done it himself or at least waited a month. now i know why he wanted it done - he has just proudly marched through the door with a new tv we didnt even facking need! heres me struggling to try and find seth a jumperoo i can afford and he's off buying tv's?!

    hello ladies and bruno this is the first time i have sat down all day, honestly i think i need matchsticks to keep my eyes open,. Sorry for the blubbering this morning, Erin had screamed all night she wouldnt feed and only stopped crying when i sat and rocked her. i got an hours sleep when i went up and around another hours broken sleep in between. I didnt take this mornings tablet as my heart was racing and i felt terrible(silly i know) but i didnt know how i was going to manage never mind taking something that i know could make me feel worse. i am off tom so at least i will be able to lie down and see how i feel.
    explained to work i had very little sleep and they were all great, they let me off with a lot of the running around but i did make up for it doing a mountain of dishes lol! I had a lot of good feedback about my first day:D it made me feel really good and a lot of it was about how quickly i picked things up and just fitted in!

    Elle i think it was mckays(m & co) i got newborn sleeping bags from, they button rather than zip and are tiny!

    MFD every set of scales weigh different amounts i would get him checked at your own clinic as i find some to be way out!

    cant remember what else i was going to say but *hugs* to thoses in need and evne those that dont :D

    Ugh Emlou :/ TERRIBLE doctor, silly TV :( and very sorry to hear the reflux is being so miserable too :( we went to one doctor who wasn't nasty but was clueless about Elijah's reflux; he seemed so lost that we just deliberately went to someone else the next time, who was a bit more helpful and when we showed we knew what we were talking about was ok with referring us to paediatrician... don't let the one doctor grind you to a halt whatever you do :/

    :mad: Men!!! after much nagging OH took Chris upstairs to get him ready for bed, I reminded him about 4 times to wash his hands n face and brush teeth - guess what, Chris is sat here with grubby hands n face and has now nodded off without any milk and only had 2 slices of toasted milk roll because he refused to eat my frankly delish lamb stew!

    We just had left over stew and my OH had been trying to get Ben to eat his mash (he hates it). I walk in and whisk the plate away and come back with Mr Mash (potato head, pea eyes etc, ketchup hair and ears) and he ate the lot. Fed up with showing him how to get around the kids quibbles for him to just ignore me 'cos it's too much like hard work! Seems much easier to me to keep things fun. He wasn't very impressed with being served paper chelsea buns from our picnic earlier for pudding either, but Ben thought it was funny!!!

    (((Hugs))) Caz, don't know how you're doing it all. X
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p
