    Hi ladies!

    I haven't been around in ages as mummyhood has been keeping me busy (as well as colic :()

    Anyhoo, just to let you know that I had an unexpected package from Emma Jane this morning with 2 nursing tops in to test. :j They are vest tops, and the price tags are £22 and £24 :eek:.
    I applied to be on the testing panel back in May and have heard nothing since, so hopefully some of you might be getting something to test soon as well!

    Hugs to all, x
    they phoned me last week to see if I was still BFing and then sent me 2 bras :D
    I'd given up hope and was most disappointed that I was the one that spotted the ad but hadn't got anything myself :o:p

    Ladybird, you were asking about stairgates?

    We have the kiddyguard roller ones, and I love them. There is a knack to opening them, but I can do it one handed (eventually!)

    Have a look at posts 216 and 217 on this thread for photos:

    I was all chuffed with myself for remembering it was coming up...then I realised it says in your sig when he was born :doh:

    I go to the Wednesfield and Bushbury Surestart centres and they are both still open for the hols :confused:

    I dont go to a sure start mom+baby group! The one i go to is at a church hall, which is closed over holidays. :o

    I don't think ive got pnd, im down over nieghbours etc not elliot. Ive asked my husband and he doesn't think i am either. Maybe i'm coming across more depressed on here then i actually am?

    I struggle to relax and sleep because the cow upstairs keeps banging, shouting, etc and its even effecting my sex life because of her in the back ground putting me off! :o

    My sister put on loads of weight when she went on meds, because she went so laid back she just sat there and ate and ate! She was like a different person, the kds ran around her and she wouldnt even blink. She said she'd never take those meds again!

    Either just let it cool in the kettle or put it in a bottle and sit the bottle in a dish of cold water if you need it quick.

    Course, you better check government guidelines first! :rotfl:

    Hello people hope all is well!

    Bella has just gone down for her first day time nap from the last 7 days. So I have ust scanned through the posts.

    Mrs Tine- when I went over to formula a very helpful midwife told us to follow babys lead on feeding rather than the box. If baby is having a growth spurt they will want more. Since 2 month stage Bella has been having 6floz 6 times a day even though the tin says she should of been having 5floz 5 tmes a day. But also on the tin it says that for a baby weighing 14lbs she should be having 7floz 7 times a day. So when Bella has been finishing feeds and crying for more I just up the feed by 1 floz and that usually does the trick, infact she leaves 3/4 of the last floz most of the time lol.

    Elle and weezl - you could set up for big baby/little baby packages. So provide packages for prem babys but also for whopping great big babys. Bella was big and is almost out of all 3-6 month clothing even thoufgh she will be 3 months old in 2 days! eek! Elle, I spotted your pic of rhys on the jungle gym, we have the same one and Bella fills the bumble bee body top to toe already. This is going to be interesting.... although will make ourown play mat as suggested by earlier from single duvet.

    was going to say something else but cannot remember for the life of me what it was.:D

    Keely, you need to start keeping a record of the noise and trouble from your neighbour and start calling the police. And get back to EH, they should be doing something to help. Have a look here for lots of info
