    My stomach is going to be purple with bruises if I keep letting Rhys bounce up and down on it.. :( Thinking of a Jumperoo afterall.. We have a door bouncer too, would anyone suggest a Jumperoo as well as? Rhys looks a bit unsure in the door bouncer for now but I'm sure it'll suit once he's bigger.. :confused:

    There's a Jumperoo in our local classified ads for £35 atm.
  • Millies Mum - any news on Ello's weight? Did I miss something?

    Elle - get it!! You will re-sell at that price and it can't hurt. I would be lost without Benjamins entertainer now because I need somewhere safe to leave him so I can have a wee!!


    Bruno - he is a beaut!!




    And now to my news!! I think I have found a childminder!!

    I blame you.. Off to pick it up in an hour ;):p Tis a Rainforest one, "great condition", with box and instructions - all the better for reselling it :D

    I agree - Bruno, E is gorgeous, and MM was wondering about Ello's weight too.. :)

    Tell us more about the childminder, MFD! :D :T

    well my neighbour has not moved out because of me yelling all the time, it's because the house is riddled with Damp. He bed has rotted away because of it! Which is worrying because the council won't do anything about it and have just last week pebble-dashed it all so the Damp is all sealed up and will it not spread? I really want to move but we can't afford it :(

    GP halfed the dosage I'm on and told me to get an urgent appointment with the Psychiatrist. Got an urgent appointment, in two weeks. Debating what to do. Do I wait until I have another crisis and see the GP again, do I say sod the lot of them and do nothing, do I get in touch with an advocacy charity, do I email HV (again! Still no reply) or do I contact Social Services and tell them I need LO taken in to foster care?

    Hubby is only a temporary measure until Christmas (and he still has a business to run!!) so I need a CM in January anyway. So I have been looking, but not desperately IYSWIM!

    You can blame me when Rhys loves it LOL

    CM is a dutch lady about my age (quite young ;)) who lives in a village that hubby and I aspire to live in about 7 mins away (and on my way to work). She was a Personnel Professional until she had her little girl who is nearly 4. She has another 2 year old girl and they are both utterly adorable and they were VERY excited about the baby!

    It's feels a bit strange because she is not really what I wanted in a CM and I specifically said I didn't want one with kids at home (the girls are in nursery in the morning but will be there in the afternoon) but she is quite similar to me in her attitude to motherhood and looking after kids and she made me feel that Benjamin would very much be part of the family.

    Need to remember what my objections were to having a CM with her own kids at home!!!



    :eek: My baby is no longer clinging onto the sofa!! He is just standing there balancing his tum against it waving his arms in the air!!!

    Just a flying visit as I'm really busy this week so *hugs* to all and do another test BM :D

    Just sat down for five minutes rest and now I'm being pestered to go and play Cranium Kabookii on the wii.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Call you GP and tell them that the 1st app you can get is in 2 weeks and that you need to see a HV, who is not responding to you. Doc may have more clout than you.
