Thanks for all your lovely comments about the photo!

Andrew is doing just fine, he's now on a 6hr on / 6hr off Cpap routine, which seems to suit him well; the Cpap is set at 21% oxygen (ie. air proportions) and he's on 32% oxygen in the incubator when off Cpap. Today we had a lovely cuddle, as he was awake (he normally sleeps in my arms) and was very responsive to our voices and to being touched - holding out his arms as if he wanted bigger hugs

Aww justy seen your story on the birth stories thread, congrats, and he is a right little fighter aint he!

Haha I saw this advert before. "For those who like uniform try uniformdating.com" It's a dating website for uniformed professionals and also those looking for a date in uniform! Not that I need it but it's a very good idea!

Am watching x-factor on sky+ why oh why do we need the sob stories? Maybe I'm harsh but it really annoys me.

on houses... we managed to get ours for £595pcm, which is really amazing for a 2 bed house round here. it has its flaws, theres no double glazing or radiator in seths room, and the kitchen is tiny and just completely ancient, but the LL is going to do up the house around us for her to retire into in 5-10 years. theres also no off road parking, and the parking outside the house is a two hour max stay cos its so close to the town centre!! we have to park about 5 mins away in another residential road, which means theres only certain times we can move the car and be able to get it back in again :rolleyes:
she's doing the kitchen first (thank god) and then the double glazing. the bathroom is brand new so thats a good point! before we moved in here, we were in a one bedroom flat which was £550pcm, a pretty standard price round here, so we just feel lucky that we have more space. we will cross the bridge of chillyness when we come to it!! we do have real fireplaces in the lounge and in our bedroom though, so we may end up using those, which will be nice really

Seeing the prices of the houses in England does make me consider moving
This house is round the corner from me, and the only differences is that the 3rd bedroom and sitting room are slightly bigger but the garden is a lot smaller !!

Nope, but I have most things for it. I used cheaper (Tesco Value) chocolate last time but I do have Dairy Milk and Milka in the fridge if the urge takes me before I go to Tesco again..

Have got lots of flour in the cupboard so I need to make something cakey really to make more room..

We're sorted for teas now 'til the end of the month then I'm going for Grocery Challenge style budgetting for Oct - Jan to accomodate xmas spending
