    Oh yes you get through a fair few every day lol.

    Well she was born at 37 weeks and weighed 7lb 8 so not huge but she put on weight soooooooooooooooo quickly. She was over the top of the chart you get given within about two months and pretty much stayed there.

    Its only now she has slowed down. She hasn't put any weight on for about 18 months now and is just getting taller. Proper little girl now rather than my podgy baby lol

    I like the babies with chubby cheeks. My nephew in Oz has chubby cheeks (he was 10lb 4oz when he was born) and when I was there last week all I wanted to do was kiss his little cheeks all day long!

    I have seen photos of your DD on Facebook and she is beautiful. A right little cutie!

    Yeah she was huge, I should put some photos of her when she was a baby on and she was so cute and chubby.

    She has really slimmed down now as I worried for ages she would be overweight like her mum lol.

    She is very pretty but obviously I am very biased lol

    Would love to see some baby photos of her :)

    Am really p*ssed off with OH. He is gone to band practice in Brighton since 7am this morning. They should have finished practice at 1.30pm which would enabled him to have a drink and come home in time for dinner before we go to a concert tonight. Now he just rang and said that he wants to stay later (cos they finsihed later) meaning that he would be home just in time to go to the concert and no time for dinner.

    He is so selfish - that will mean eating out (we treated ourselves to a takeaway yesterday) and rushing around to go to the concert. We have just come back from a 3 week holiday where he met up (and spent time) with old friends and we were out and about eating and drinking all the time.

    He thinks I am being unreasonable but it already costs about £30 a week just for him to travel and practice for the band. That is enoough money and it is because of his job we had to move, not because of mine.

    :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Someone tell me I am not being unreasonable and hormonal.

    hi cmd - you are entitled to feel upset and hormonal and it is not as mse as you would like - but if it is important to him I can understand where he is coming from to....

    I would suggest you find a way to minimise a repeat rather than going off one one about today LOL

    It's not even so much about the money as the lack of awareness about where dinner will come from. With my OH there is no forward planning whatsoever. When we were in Boots the other day he was moaning about having to get Xmas presents so early. I told him that there is no way I am trudging around last minute with an ever increasing bump and we are getting the presents asap.

    I wouldn't mind if he would take himself off into town and get his parents presents himself but he expects me to go with him and we always end up spending a fortune on them as it is last minute.

    I will give an example. The last time he went off by himself shopping (just before our hols) he came back after having bought sea salt scrub for £30. He claims he was collared by them in the shopping centre. But I just get so mad cos I am the whole time trying to think of ways to save money and be creative with gifts and he moans about me being proactive and thinking in advance.
