Nightmare just found out I'm leading the pre-school sunday school tomorrow!!

I wasn't intending on going with Katie being a spot monster whose spots haven't all scabbed over! I'll just have to leave her at home with DH.

I'll just have to get there early to read through the magazine for the week.

Oops, nothing like throwing you in a the deep end. Worse if you weren't even going to be there.

ETA:
I just did similar with moving my current account (away from Halifax cos they're going to start charging me more for my OD or a monthly fee). Have moved to A&L for an interest free OD, free travel insurance, £100 for switching and £45 Quidco cashback http://www.quidco.com/alliance-leicester-current-accounts - £100 will be put into the account direct after a few months of me paying £500 or more in.. so I'm going to have to make my SMP up by £6 some months! :rolleyes:

Elle you only have to have £500 paid in. Hubby pays money into one of our joint accounts each month, it just take a detour through my A&L account. Although, I haven't been charged yet and I know some months there hasn't been £500 through it.

I know.. that's what I meant - some months my SMP is £494 so I need to pay another £6 in to make it over the £500

To keep the facilities after the 1st year, you only have to average 10 months out of the 12 at £500 or more by the way

my LO is flat out again today! Me thinks it is all the frsh air I am giving him!

Bet he wakes up when I have tea - sausage and mash! Yum Yum!!

Made some fruit and jelly for pudding as well just hope it sets in time.

Feelie - big hugs

Jillie - I would recommend getting out to baby groups, I would go stir crazy in the house with OH and Jack all the time!
Monday is tiny stars but there is another one opening soon in another sure start so will have 2 to go to and me and the mums from Parentcraft meet up at tiny stars and each others houses once a week as well.
I try to have a day shopping somewhere and then maybe a day visiting as well - so I maybe have 3 days where I don't go out although I still try and go for a walk!
AM determined to get rid of this jelly belly!!!

Just back from NCT meet. Everyone was there, 7 couples, 8 babies. Absolutely exhausted and feel awful. I just don't fit - I'm not a career woman, I don't CIO, I breastfeed, I co-sleep, I do babyled weaning. I just feel really inadequate, judged and miserable.

Random question - anyone else obsess over/worry about baby dying?

Feelie :grouphug:
You're doing what's best for your little one and for you - don't let anyone else even think of judging you. You're a great mummy.

I worry about Molly dying too, but I wouldn't say I'm obsessing over it - just when I see something about a child dying I give her an extra squeeze and thank whatever I'm thanking that it wasn't her.

:rotfl: You shoving it in anyone's ear who'll stay still long enough?

I did with my shiny ear thermometer. Until Husband bought a bunch of plastic covers and appropriated it as a super-German butt thermometer for Molly :rotfl: :rolleyes::rotfl:

Inspired by elle's Ikea trip, I'm making a list for Ikea - I want meatballs and weird sauce, but also a Markor cupboard and some curtains. And no doubt some accidental additions...
