My best friend knows what's happening and has promised her OH will film it all for me!

I love it! Just wish I could be a fly on the wall! Who are you going to have as witnesses?

We have settling in visit number 2 at nursery today - this morning I leave Izzy there and go sit upstairs and get on with a job application for a bit, and see how they get on! I doubt she will even notice when I come back downstairs if I know my baby

in my opinon (not that it's worth a lot ) i think you are doing the right thing but trying it now. i wonder if i had of started putting LO down at night when she was first home (instead of constantly cuddling her) whether i would still have the problems with her sleep.???

I don't think you would of... I think by holding her lots when she was tiny, you helped her build good neural pathways, she would of felt very loved and very secure whilst in your arms and my opinion is, some children are better at it that others... Caitlyn sleeps better at 3 months than Aimee was doing at 3 years... I've treated them both the same (from what I can remember...) But they are both very different babies!

How often do tax credits get paid - four weekly? Is itthe same time for everyone?

I get mine weekly but I think that's a throwback from when I was a lone parent... It's handy for me though, I know that even when we're skint and there's nothing in the cupboards we'll get something on a Monday...

Miss Caitlyn slept from 9:30 till 5, went straight back to sleep after a feed and just woke up now.. Woohoo, and long may it continue!

Aimee's asked me if she can have a day off today... She only went back yesterday! I do have to have a word with her teacher though... She wet herself yesterday because she was told she couldn't go to the toilet before morning break and spent the day in wet pants... That's a water infection waiting to happen...

Anyhoo... Off to get dressed and take her to school... I'm meeting my Nan in town at 11 today, I don't know whether to go straight there or come home first and try and feed madame at the last minute.. What with her aversion to eating out and everything...

I get mine weekly too. It was weekly when I was a single parent, but they kept paying me weekly when I ended that claim and made a joint claim when Craig moved in.

Busy busy day today with loads of work to do, then need to get some reading done for uni. I'm at a tutorial at the weekend, and need to decide who I'm going to write my next essay on so I can go through it with my tutor. It's all about business ethics, so I'm thinking of doing Primark and how they claim to be ethical but were discovered using child labour not so long ago.

Gorgeous! Do you think her eyes will stay blue? Rhys' seem to change all the time - always "dark.." but I say brown, OH says blue (he has blue eyes ) and other times they look green.

I think that's hugely disrespectful, myself..

Anyway, Rhys slept alright last night and settled down easily after the times he did wake (that's what's important to me, not the sleeping through) Will see how he goes napping this morning then nip into town later, methinks He's currently all snuggled up next to me in a fleecy blanket - too cute!

Elle....I think her eyes are blue to stay. They were quite a dark blue and quite cloudy when she was born. They have lightened up now and are so clear. She was also born with dark hair and its getting lighter every day. I has a deffinate red tinge to it now so not sure if we're going to have a red head!!!

She is soooo cute tho....even if i say so myself!!!

Ha ha Well I was getting worried about you.. you've got Chris to deal with too! I didn't actually go to bed when I said I was going to - ended up looking through the baby pics of me that Mum had sent over.. turns out Rhys does look like me, after all!

no more disrespectful than trying to sell their religion like double glazing IMO

glad Rhys slept well, now we need to use our sleeping babes to our advantage

I think I get mine around the same time every month :think: I'll have a peek - really need to put money in my account, I think I'm over drawn
only peeps who get it different are like single mums or something who can have it weekly

We get it weekly and on a Wednesday, but we get a large amount due to the disability element for DS2. Used to get it fortnightly when we got a whopping £7 a week. Think they make it up as they go along?

Oh meant to ask, is the swing a single or can it be a double pump? Because on ebay the pump in styles re going for the same price. (still anrgy about that one that went for £21.99!)

OK, school run, pick up a chair, post office, matalan for party stuff, pick up DS2, housework, pick up DS1, Dh home, dinner.... etc. My day is all planned Have fun you lot!

Maybe it's just that I think "if you're not interested, shut the door", like you would with a double glazing salesman. Life is too short to have doorstep debates about either religion or new windows!

Could doze off again right now myself, but I've got Outlook calendar reminders popping up right left and centre!
