  • I have had Dylan in his new door bouncer for the first time this morning and he loved it !! Can only keep his head steady for a short time, so we only did 2 5 minute slots but he smiled the whole time :)

  • Lovely idea Weezl! Can you just tell her that I miss her and her posts, I always looked forward to reading something written by her.

    Sami - where is Maz?

    I should really be having a shower, but instead I'm sat here all smelly and dirty and will arrive in dirty clothes! Mum has a good shower though :D

    ...

    Maybe if you do some early nakedness then MIL will leave sooner than planned ;):D

    You clearly get on with her to allow her to stay in the first place though, which is a bonus.

    Erm, we do get on but not that well, the only reason she stays with us is that, like my family, she lives at the other end of the country so has to stay with us when she visits and I don't get any say about it.

    Wish I could offer people advice on here as well but I just don't know enough! It was the same when I first joined the pregnancy thread but by the end I was the expert thanks to most of you ladies on here ;)

    Would it be Maz that's closest to your mum's?

    Dont think so
    Sami - where is Maz?

    I'm in Essex/ London borders plus I dont give up work for another 3½ weeks so am not about!!!:rolleyes::)

    Just doing a comparison on nappy/wipes prices at the mo...I have the following at the minute but do you think I need to buy some more in preparation or does that seem enough for the moment?

    Size1 newborn - 4 x 27 packs = 108
    Size 2 - 2 x 62 packs = 124
    Wipes 2 x 12, 1 x 9 plus 5 = 38 packs of wipes

    Sami - you will be pleased as I started bulk bying for Henry as well!!

    Just worked out I have £40 Nectar vouchers, £40 Boots from Ipsos survey and £23 Advantage points...

    Rhys has just left with Grandma.. Cuppa and sandwich for me now, then off to town :)

    Don't think I can help on the number of nappies Maz (slow-grower here!) but sounds good to keep you going until the next round of promotions - does anyone have extra special offers on at the minute? I've been buying 2 for £10 from Asda while I'm waiting for Rhys to grow out of size 2's - won't be long so don't want to buy in bulk, so I've bought a New Baby Size 2 pack and a Active Fit Size 3 pack to put away for the last two weeks :)

    Are you going to treat yourself with the vouchers, or are they for baby / xmas present things?

    im back ... cuppa and biccies so feeling chill i got mypaint from b&q got the darkest blue they sell as i couldnt remember what the name of my blue is but got home and i think its not the right shade but lets see later when the kids have gone to bed ..

    went docs got cream for my hands (dry itchy skin was really annoying me) ... got more help for my knee and as for the tearyness he said to make a new appointment to spend the whole appointment talking about it tbh i dont think he wanted to deal with it suggest another appointment and HV and said goodbye so never mind ..

    having a few minutes relaxing before i start tidying :( i need to do it before i paint tonight when the kids are in bed (im on a mission) :D .. how is everyone else x
