Can you only multi-quote a certain number of posts? I keep clicking lots to quote and not all of them appear in my replies.

I'm just going to type what I remember now...

MFD - The butterfly toy is online http://www.plushpaws.co.uk/the-hungry-caterpillar/the-very-hungry-caterpillar-butterfly-activity-toy.html but it's out of stock at the moment. It's £13.99 like the caterpillar you bought, but you HAVE to have both of them

Thank you to everyone who answered re. CTF, child benefit and bank accounts. I did multi-quote you all, but it didn't work, so I'll do a big generic thank you. Hopefully I'll have time later to look at the bank accounts.

In the meantime, I have a smelly-bummed baby to get dressed and a not-smelly-bummed me to get ready too.

Laters!

Weezl - it is very normal for babies who previously STTN to stop.

There are a few possible reasons:

• baby wants more time with mom
• teething
• developmental advances (for example: waking more often right before or after learning to turn over, crawl or talk)
• illness, allergy, diaper rash, eczema
• hunger (including growth spurts)

I wouldn't worry, he might start STTN again, or he might be in a more wakeful phase.

From what I've read, waking through the night, after previously STTN, is no longer thought of as a sign that weaning should start.

Three at a time I think.



Well done on your decisoin Mel.

elle_gee

Mel, hope your day/application goes well!

Feelie, hurrah for bras and going out :jDid your purple muslins arrive for the wedding too?

Prams, I'd suggest at least getting hold of the Mothercare brochure and leaving it with them for a few days to browse through and cross out the ones they don't like.

Sorry, I know I rabbit on too much..

Though, that said, I am having a PJ day today after all. I know it would be better to let mum come round and do the painting, but I wouldn't get any time to myself and to be honest I just want a day when it's just me and Rhys

Mum and dad will be here all weekend anyway, my sister is visiting, FIL is going to try to visit (he's very busy with work), and we've got a big appointment on Monday (ya know, assuming they don't cancel it again :rolleyes:). I really need to do the DLA forms and some more sorting/tidying but for now I'm going to have tea and toast whilst Rhys is down for a nap. Going to get him playing and take some more pics of him later (don't all groan at once! ).

Yes - he looked interesting! :rolleyes:

I've always thought there should be two job centres in each town. One for the nice people who are really looking for work or have genuine reasons for claiming benefits............and one for the rest!

I'm not sure about her! With it being a pilot scheme the ladies involved obviously wanted to be there and wanted to find work. But if its rolled out in real life, and becomes compulsory, imagine her speaking like that to the proper lazy ones with no intention of working!

Ha! A second night where the monster slept from 1am-6am!! And then back down till 9am!!!!

I feel almost normal. And she's currently sleeping peacefully.

MOTM, on the special occasions board there's a thread about money making for Christmas - they're all aiming to be money neutral (so spend equals money made). It might be worth having a look over there if some of the girls want expensive gifts?
