Evening all, hope everyone is well,

I'm after a bit of advice from you's or your OH's on the Xbox 360. My DS has one and He wants to go onto Xbox live, My question how in the @@@@ do i do it. Do you actually need the wireless x box thing for it or will any wireless usb do it?

You need an xbox wireless thingy unless an ethernet cable can reach from xbox to your router (which is the cheaper option and easier to set up plus it runs better for playing the games online) then buy the live membership (which you can actually get off ebay for £28) which is £40 for a year (or pay monthly, use your card through the xbox, buy online or use the cards you can buy/get free with most games. Set it all up (if you have problems xbox people are actually quite lovely and will talk you through it, was a pain with AOL though, can't remember how we finally did it).

There are loads of guides online.

Your hubby will love you forever, you will have xbox live forever

Right - have just sent the last of my work emails. I am definitely trying to shoehorn 5 days into 3 ATM :rolleyes:

2 mins to finish my raspberry and elderberry tea and I will be off to bed.


Weezl - I keep meaning to ask (or anybody really!) is there any harm in drinking RLT normally (I mean when not pregnant!)? Part of me thinks not but then people were so scared of it during pregnancy that it got me worried that it might have special powers!!! Also it is quite hard to find!

I crave it though! It was my fave part of pregnancy!!

RLT is fine I've been drinking it since I had Chris, Its actually recommended for helping PMT:cool:

Can anyone recommend a milk powder holder thingymabob (for taking dry formula powder out and about it)? And any ideas where I can get just one or two? Keep seeing them in packs of six and whatnot.. It's not going to get much use, just occasionally when Rhys goes to Mum's as a back up.. Ta muchly

If you can, set it up one day he is out before wrapping it up. Saves a lot of hassle on christmas day.

Yeah, for some reason AOHELL made a big issue out of it and it took AGES to set up, we had to mess about with settings and what not.

Elle, we just got the tesco one, pot with 3 sections. The boys had the avent one and there is no difference.

Oh I like this.. different colours would be good cos we have two different powder recipes - one to go in EBM, and one for just water

ETA: No more cutlery on the floor.. http://www.bumpto3.com/feed/feeding_accessories/stay_put_cutlery_bowl_sets :rotfl:
