weezl, this may be a totally stupid idea, but had you thought of making a dice and having different treats on each side that he is allowed to use for say a week, so you make the tea, give him a foot rub etc... and then its a bit more random ???

elle i say appeal as most people are turned down the first time they apply! fingers crossed for the results.

weezl i think your amazing the way you have read/answered that message, im in the same boat as SS and would love it done too!
to your tin i would add running a bath, an afternoon off, controll of the remote for the night, i cant think lol!

have just been to asda for their half price toys and picked up 2 JCB trucks and a box of mega blocks. the whole way round the store charlie was shouting mmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeee and pointing to the toys! everyone was laughing and thought it was hilarious making him louder! he is now feeding the rabbit, taking a piece of veg to him one little bit at a time im hoping it tires him out soon

Thank you caz

Was there still any duplo or had the shelves been completely wiped out?

ooooh! inspired suggestion. That's christmas sorted How're you kristal? Haven't seen you for a bit.

I'm ok... Fighting a battle with Wii addiction at the minute, keeping up with you all via iPod but it's an effort to post from it...

Had a man come round to roughly measure my windows today, I've had one of those 'home improvement' secured loans from the council but it's turning into a bit of a palavar... I applied for it nearly 2years ago, all the paperwork has finally gone through but the guy who did the original figures has ballsed up and I've got to wait and see if it's going to cost me actual cash from my pocket on top...

Mfd, if you're around... Are you free for coffee anytime soon? I have some money for you burning a hole through my purse...

Elle, sorry for missing results and the DLA appeal. I'd say to appeal and get more specific advice. How old was HVs child? Could you try and find someone with experience of claiming for a baby? How you word things is important, and although I could easily help someone with Mental Health problems claim, I'd be useless in your situation. Are there any charities for babies like Rhys? It isn't unusual to fail for silly reasons - I get a lower rate DLA than I think I should because I don't need specific things I said I needed. It is horrible and frustrating. The benefits section are great at advice on appealling, perhaps post in there?

Thank you everyone for your posts and PMs today, I'm really touched. Had a chat wiith OH and I feel better about the relationship but worse about me. I am being very emotional and sensitive and he isn't perfect. I don't know what to do, I'm just thinking. Have sent a very honest (but oddly incredible formal) email to HV about how I feel, so shall keep fingers crossed that she replies with some suggestions. She seemed a bit out of her depth with me so far but has good intentions so fingers crossed.

Don't mind sharing the design I did with anyone who wants them We're all pressed for time now - I had plenty of time on my hands then, plus it was before [STRIKE]morning sickness[/STRIKE] all-day-nausea kicked in

there was still a lot there and i think it is on until the 9th nov! we are buying thing that charlie can do as he doesnt play with much? he loves potato heads so we thought this would be great esp at that price he isnt getting much a toy tractor and a few bits and pieces, thought about a fun box with playdough, pencils etc?

We don't change Fergus' nappy between 7pm and 7am. I guess I would if he ever pooed at night. Or perhaps if he seemed to mind being in a wee nappy at nighttime. Do you find he cries with nighttime wetness?

i think we've been changing him cos when he was newborn the mw said, change hime befor every feed... so we have been. but reading on here and in my (few weeks) experience, the napppies often are hardly wet. dh doesnt want him lying there wet. am trying to explain to DH that leaving him unchanged wont do him any harm, we can always check how wet he is anyway by feeling the front of nappy. have showed him the baby-dry nappies and explained they are designed for sleeping through the night. and seeing that is what we want him to do we need to get used to not changing him. is DH i need to convince more than me! have left him past 2 nights with only 1 change and Kian was fine, just daddy didnt like how wet the nappy was
