Yeah but I told OH and BIL who moaned that shows always get spoiled - tough

Just had leftover lasagne from last night which was yummy with wedges, veg and garlic bread :drool:

OH has signed Tax Credit form so will take a walk tomorrow and get that posted - how long does it take to get anything back?

Need to pay elec - gas is in credit :j

Jack has scratched his face and broken the skin so have just bitten his nails down.

Just jumping ship from the pregnancy forum to ask a quick question to the bizzie baby experts over here.

I am currently testing a product for them, will they contact me for feedback after a certain time, or do i have to go on their site and find a form or something?

thank you

Excellent - not sure if we will get WTC as well hope so!

We have decided not to notify them of OH losing his job and me being on Mat Leave just yet - thought if we waited until we fill in next years claim we would have a nice little lump sum.

I may have said this before so apologies if I'm repeating myself but I find that these occasions are the best for letting them just cry, both my boys do this occasionally and usually if I just put them back down they suddenly stop crying within max 5 mins (usually no more than 1min) When they do this they don't appear to be awake though so not sure if Elijah was obviously awake or not?

Yeah, we were wondering how awake he was; but we had left him crying for a few minutes - during which it ramped up - before going in, so I sort of assume that even if he wasn't full awake he was going to get there. Dunno really. Hopefully doesn't happen again tonight then I shan't need to know

That is such an Ameerican word!

:mad::mad::mad::rotfl: How my OH would laugh. I disagree though!

Bruno, when Elijha woke, was he awake or did he just have his eyes open but glazed over? Could it be night terrors?

Thanks Tia; maybe a bit glazed. As above, it seemed like he was working himself up and doing that was dragging him progressively out of sleep, but I find it hard to tell especially in the dark at 3am when a little confused myself!

He was a bit better today, no real "illness" signs, 3 dirty nappies which is very unusual for him when well, and very fragile - a lot of sharp angry screams when thwarted at anything at all. Think he is teething a molar which is a bonus misery for him I guess!

Am really going to have to start thinking about Christmas presents soon bought nothing, virtually no ideas either, so far. Siiiiiigh.

I'm not doing Christmas presents this year - sound like a Scrooge I know but what with me on SMP and OH not working much, I'd rather save the money so I can have longer off on Mat Leave.

Might make some little pressies from Jack though!

Are you looking for ideas, SM, or just how to afford it all?

What have you bought them in the past?

Off out now but back later with ideas if that's what you wanted

i know what im getting 2 of the kids (planned it months ago) .. 3 of them is only something little i was thinking 3 for 2 in boots .. zoe and jayden just need small stuff now .. bil asked for something quite cheap, sil wants something for bubba (ive got a budget of £20) but mil is the expensive one she want knee high boots that are leather and kitten heel .. i just about know what i need .. just need to find a way to put the money up ... dont know if me and philip are gonna get anything at this rate ... mind you philip would be happy if i just tied a big bow around myself with a tag saying merry xmas :rotfl:x

SM why do you offer to put some money towards MIL boots, surely she can't expect you to buy boots when your struggling with your own family. Mine would be happy with a homemade card from the children and some photos enclosed.
