...so Rhys slept 12.30am -5.20am but you were still posting at 2.45am?? Need to sleep when baby sleeps!!!

I know, I know, but I was expecting him to wake up anytime! Hopefully I'll be better tonight - if last night wasn't a one-off on Rhys' part :cool:

I have had a baby bumper post today
Child Benefit confirmation came in
£30 boots vouchers from work came
Dyland 8 week injection appt for when he is 9 weeks !!
And the appt for his 1st peadiatrician appt for 2nd Sept.

I have to say I cried a little when that came in, as I just thought of what they might say, but then I thought, he has been doing really well so far, other than have a bad twitch in his right foot wich I have to keep an eye on, so hopefully all should be well

I am off to pick up my new reading / driving glasses this afternoon :)n They are rather swanky, even if I do say so myself

Which hospital do you have to go to for that, MM?

You've reminded me, must book an eye test. I should have got new glasses after the last one I had, but didn't Think I'll ask Mum to look after Rhys and do other jobs in town all in one go. Dad was almost pleading with me on Saturday to find an excuse for Mum to have Rhys! :rolleyes:

can I ask those that bought 2nd hand bumbos how much they paid? they're reduced to £27 in mothercare at the mo so I'm wondering what the saving is...

!

£6.99 plus the same postage for me! But it's a yellow one that no-one else seemed to want!

Didn't someone get one at a bargain price a couple of weeks back that was listed as a 'Bimbo' or similar? :rotfl:

We used to share a mobile :rotfl:whoever needed it most in the family had it for that day/night!!

BUT - you never actually used it because it was too bl00dy expensive to make a call either to it or from it!! It was emergencies only!


Those were the days! When you made an arrangement to meet your friends and you all turned up on time :rolleyes: you could even arrange something a week in advance and people would still be there!


And when you could buy cigarettes in ones in the newsagents :rotfl:

OOh, your making me go all nostalgic! The newsagents used to sell the 'looseys' for 10p each - and he still made a profit on a pack of 20! :eek:

I remember my uncle down south having a not so mobile, mobile. It was proper huge, (like a comedy one!) and you had to plug it into this equally huge unit in the boot of his car! :rotfl:

When I first got my mobile, I let my mum phone someone from it and held it and spoke into it like a walkie-talkie! This is the same Mum, who when I was ignoring her because I was listening to my 'Sony Walkman', unplugged the headphones and tried to speak down the wire! :rotfl:

The consultant is in the hospital round the corner from me, but if there are any signs of slow development, they will send him to a motor skills specialist in the Antrim hospital where he was at.

ooh remember when you used to get shopping stuff from lots of places not the supermarket? just image our kids faces when we say milk was left on the door step in a glass bottle you rinsed out and left out for them to take back and there was also a veg man, a pop man and if you were lucky a video man!
And when you bought pop with your chippy tea you took the bottle back so you got 5p or whatever it was

.. loving the military timings there now you need to work on getting you to bed at a decent hour!

Every ten minutes was precious!

Elle : glad you mentioned CB, have you heard from tax credits, I know we called them on the same day I've not had my confirmation yet (not surprised by that tho)

Nope, not heard anything yet. Sent that off last Wednesday.

can I ask those that bought 2nd hand bumbos how much they paid? they're reduced to £27 in mothercare at the mo so I'm wondering what the saving is...

Reduced to?! Aren't they £27 on Amazon all the time? (mine's on loan, didn't buy it)

He splet for about 7hrs straight last night :T so if I'm on here after 10:30 tonight send me to bed because Chris has started getting up at 7/8ish and I want to get back into the routine of getting up at a normal time

Ditto me so we'll tell each other off!

If you're worried about anything, ask them for physio and play worker sessions Everything crossed for you that it's nothing to worry about at all xx

oh did you post it? I just phoned them (well I had to really coz it was deadline for me:o)
Reduced to?! Aren't they £27 on Amazon all the time? (mine's on loan, didn't buy it)
Well yes but it was mc that made me realise, Don't think I'll buy one yet coz my friend lent me hers last time so I'm hoping I can have it again (that bumbo has so far been used for 5 diff babies belonging to 4 diff mums )


Ditto me so we'll tell each other off!

tis a deal, Sami & Elle must go to bed early tonight

elle_gee

Oh, I just got an email from BizzieBabies with a questionnaire to complete on the vest I'm supposed to be testing.. But I haven't received the vest yet! Should I have?

elle_gee

Sami, yup, posted it because I had to complete the form for my first claim.

How long do we leave it until phoning? I think it might have said two weeks in the notes but I've got Rhys asleep on my chest at the mo so can't get up to find them.

When they say "by three months old", so they mean calendar months or 12weeks? Rhys was 12 weeks yesterday but is three months next Monday. If I've not got anything in Thursday's post I suppose I'd better phone them on Friday so I don't miss out on it being backdated!
