I think I'll go for reading yours a la Mel B then
She did uni in Hudders, 3yrs in Leeds and now 2yrs in Hull (OMG thats 8yrs!! where did that time go?) well she's not technically in Hull is Beverly but she works in Hull :cool:

Thats probably frighteningly accurate although Pudsey is clearly much classier than Beeston where she is from.

I never change a nappy in the night or at a dream feed unless I have absolutely no other option.

Weezl, what effect does being a 2nd (or 4rd etc) baby have on the routine/non routine baby? I never had a routine with Millie until i went back to work when she was 15 months but because we have to be at school at a particular time twice a day Eloise is very routine during the week. We keep having school holidays which !!!! it up completely!

baby is nice n cosy in a warm cocoon but doesn't have a great view when in there but they can see you (albeit upside down lol) but they mostly sleep in there anyway. TBH I'd ask SB how good she thinks it is for the close gap (are you friends with her on FB?) I think its definitely the best for the 2ish yr gap but possibly the icandy pear is better for the 1yr gap? M friend who has a smaller gap has it and loves it but its more expensive as icandy price fix :rolleyes:

Sami_Bee

Ps mel I edited my shouty post with a pic if ur interested I have another friend who got the icandy pear and loved it but had a reluxy baby that filled it with sick everytime as it was completely flat :eek: so she had to get rid
I like the look of this one as babes can chat to each other(but eek at price!!) http://www.mamasandpapas.com/product-duette-city-scape/131248800/type-i/
Jane make a similar one too

My friend is a right mug! She is way too nice for her own good.

She is friends with an older woman, maybe from the same church, she had to go to Italy for work, and asked Tanya to stay at hers to look after the dog. She has been living there since the 10th, and now the woman is stuck in Italy because the air traffic controllers are on strike. She is having to go back and forth for Uni, gym and her daily life, all the while fitting in stuff for the dog (live out of aberdeen, country buses needed).

I said to her, well I hope she has been paying you - NO! She left her £10 for bus fares?!! That would do about 3 days! And "SOME" food, no bread or milk or eggs, because she doesn't eat them. She'd be paying about £100 a week min to board her dog, totally taking advantage IMO.

If I was on holiday or away and was asking someone to come by mine say twice a day to feed and clean out the cats, I'd totally be giving them money for it.

Just how I read your posts! My mum n dad are right this moment on their way up to see our family in consett, durham so my dad was teaching Chris to say why-aye man last night

My brother married a lass from Kent and they live down there. My neice is two and speaks with a Kent accent, apart from a few north east words she's picked up from my brother, including why-aye man. It sounds really funny when she says it :rotfl:

Sami_Bee

that is taking the P buttons I'd never expect someone to trek on busses like that without making sure I gave them much more than enough to cover their bus fare! (good job we have friends/family to do it for a bottle of plonk lol)

Buttonmoons

Well that's the same as me lol, just throw some booze towards my mum, not that'd she ever look after my cats for me as she hates them haha. But if it wasn't family, I'd pay them, deffo. Plus the lack of food....!!
