My Grandad used to be a driver for the heart foundation driving round picking things up... Try giving one of them a call... Don't you get the white bags through your door? I get about 5 a week... Good for bin bags

.. had a busy day today sorting my OH mums house out, do charity shops ever come and pick things up? its just that there is loads of stuff to donate, too much to fit in my car anyway am thinking would be easier if they could pop and pick some up, theres easily 10 bin bags clothes shoes ect, then loads of toys books ect from when my OH was younger.

*hugs* for having a hard day

We have occasional collections for British Heart Foundation at work and they collect it in a van. Always worth giving them a ring to see if they can collect

aaaargh freecycle annoys me so much!!
on my local one, people ask for the same thing every day - a couple of requests for fridges/freezers, washing machines, beds etc, but just lately its a joke, someone has posted asking for a flat screen tv and someone else asked for a xbox yesterday! i offered seths baby bath today and had a email which said "i'll have it, i'll pick it up tomorrow if you like?" no please, no name given, nothing! and when i gave away our moses basket (i would have preferred to sell it but they go so cheaply i thought it wasnt worth the hassle, plus we were desperate for space and still in the studio flat at the time) the woman that turned up to get it was clearly wearing jimmy choos and a posh tailored suit and driving a 2009 reg mercedes!! are they all as grabby as that?

thanks for that im gonna ring round some on monday morning, really need to get it sorted! we've not had any of those bags for ages either!!just when you need them as well, typical! im not letting them go to the skip tho she would have hated that, she really hated waste so am gona make sure they go to charity, she had so many clothes that still had tags on it was unbelievable!!

also found some pics of OH today from when he was little, its like looking at a picture of jake!! id actually never noticed how alike they look but now every time i look at jake i see my OH!!

Buttonmoons

Her poo'ing in the toilet is non exsistant, she just poos in her pants!! And because she doesn't want to poo in the toilet she holds it in for days, so it comes out like a brick and it hurts her, or she waits until the night time nappy goes on, and lets loose then.....

At least she is off the dummy. Her eating is getting slightly better too, she demolished a 150g punnet of blueberries, half a tub of strawberrys, then asked for more!! She keeps saying to me she is hungry all the time too, she never used to say that, maybe a growth spurt? Though she normally only wants weetabix, an apple or yoghurt, so healthy stuff at least!

I'm so bored tonight. Dunno what to doooooooo

hi all,

hope everyone is well.

fritha --- yeah for walking baby girl!!!! sorry i should have said that last night. i think my little girl is a lot like yours in some respect, especially the not sleeping at night :-)

elle - loving the videos of rhys

feely and others re driving - go for it. i am terrible as i got my licence back home (only really to keep my mum quiet) but as i lived local to trains/buses i didn't drive after i got my licence so have lost all confidence. i really wish i did things differently but i just can't face the battle of driving again at the minute. terrible isn't it. i go into a panic if i see a police car as a passenger, let alone driving.

re sleeping - my LO last night woke at least once an hour crying out until about 12am, she then slept through to about 4.45am and then was a wake at least once an hour until about 7.30am. she stayed up for a bit, had half a bottle and i got her back off to sleep at about 8.30am. she then slept until 10.30am. ... strange ...

tonight, i have had her down since 8.30pm ish and she has woken once. she wanted a bit of a feed, had a cuddle and then i have put her back in the crib. wondering what she will do tonight???

oh, emlou == thanks for the message, i keep forgetting to say. have taken some tips from you. i have bought the powder too.
