It's White Zinfandel (rose) - does that make it any more acceptable?

Actually yes! A rose Zinfandel is perfectly acceptable as a chilled summer drink

(or beer obviously)

Well, I tried Toby in the seat, and it didn't work! His legs are too chubby and he wouldn't fit. He is pretty short, but very heavy so he is a bit of a porker. In the end I just got in and held him with me!

I have a bath with Caitlyn every other morning or so (basically the days when we're on our own and don't have to rush off anywhere) I always hold her, love the skin to skin... Then I pop her into a bouncy chair at the side of the bath wrap her towel round her and she sits ever so nicely while I have a shower... This is about the only thing she's ever done the same as Aimee...

Why are you guys even THINKING of ironing school uniform?

Please, do yourselves a favour. Put one child in an ironed uniform and the other in an unironed one. Leave it 10 minutes and ask someone to tell you if they can tell you which one has been ironed.

Helps if when you get things out you give them a shake and put them into their creases, IYSWIM. But it's not essential ...

I used to walk my friends children to school and she always prided herself on not ironing... I could tell the difference! I iron all my girls clothes... Even the tiny little babygros if she's wearing one in the day...


Well Caitlyn had her 8w check yesterday... She's now 12lb 7 1/2oz and a whopping 60cm long:eek: She's grown 8cm in 5 weeks! She also had her injections... Who was it said that breastfeeding while she had the injection would lesson the pain? Well that was a big fat lie :rolleyes: I latched her on and held her leg, she fed quite happily until the nurse stabbed her and then she went bright red in the face and let out the most enormous wail... She took it quite well though and calmed down pretty well...

She was also pretty happy while Aimee had her swimming lesson and when we met hubby from work... Then we went into the big Asda... Caitlyn really doesn't like this shop! She didn't just cry she was absolutely top of her lungs bellowing, I sent hubby to fetch the [STRIKE]icecream[/STRIKE] shopping and I took her to the benches by the checkout to feed her but she didn't want to know so I just sat there ever so calmly rocking her and waited for hubby... Then the lady from the pharmacy came over to tell me she was gorgeous and could she have a munch... As soon as I passed her over the bellowing stopped! (This was the point I wanted to burst into tears but I held it together pretty well...) She was very unsettled for the rest of the evening... I gave her half a teaspoon of calpol in the end... She did sleep for 7hrs but kept crying out in her sleep... Thankfully she's been a bit better today...

And on to me... There's something wrong with me... Well.. More than normal anyway... I keep going all wooly headed like I'm drunk, last night when I was really tired the room was spinning it was that bad but it's been a bit on and off today and not quite as bad... And I have little itchy sposts on my chest / arms / legs I'm in two minds whether its bad enough to bother a Dr about or whether I should just ignore it and hope it goes away...:o

Krystal I reckon (no medical advice just my opinion) I would see how it is tomoro and if your still concerned phone the doc, as it;s the weekend and if it gets worse over the weekend it's harder to be seen. Does your docs have a nurse practitioner, we can see her if it's things like that instead of BOTHERING a doc as I hate BOTHERING docs with what I feel is minor problems.

Oooh my fave wine:)


Weezl - I can't really answer that question, as I have never made them any clothes. Except when they have fancy dress/theme days at school, I usually always make them something then:)

To be honest I have (stupidly:o) spoilt them a bit in the clothes dept, they always have Nike trainers (£30/£40, Helly Hanson/Berghaus coats (£50/£70) and I try to get them a good selection of Next t-shirts, although they do have Asda/Primark t-shirts too, and always The cheapest jeans as I see no difference in jeans whether they cost £5 or £50...and they would still put holes in them just as fast!

They are both not really too bothered about what they wear, but don't like plain clothes they like them to have funky pictures/slogans on them. From about the age of 5yrs, so I probably could have given them bin-bags to wear before then and they wouldn't have cared:p

Krystal - Could you not just give NHS direct a quick call, they may get you in to see an out of hours GP if they think it is anything that should be looked at.....Or at least ease your mind about it being anything potentially serious.

Totally agree with Redmel, call NHS Direct now, set your mind at rest, Krystal.

I was in to visit my dad today and it looks like he'll be in til the end of next week. he is getting physio and the OT was in to see him and they can't get his medication right so he will be in til they get it sorted. He seems ok tho and he said he'll stay til he has to and that is just not like my dad, he usually can't wait to get out of hospital.

Sounds like an inner ear problem Krystal, caused by a virus. I had one in February. You need to check with a doc! X

Someone was asking about having a girl, I had a book 'Choose the sex of your baby-the natural way' by Hazel Chesterman-Phillips. 1st girl on OH's side for a long time. X

What does it recommend?
I have always wanted 4 kids and would be perfectly happy with a 4th boy, but there is something deep inside that would quite like a little girl
eta - There is no way Dh genes would produce a girl, so I have to be content to have another boy:cool:
