    thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

    I was wondering when the free days were going to be! Right, that's us going into the city centre on Thursday, £1.50 each on the train and then free trams! Buggy heaven.

    Don't suppose you know where the best BF facilities in the city centre are? for feeding?

    Probably won't join anybody else that's going in though, as it'll be our first "family" outing to the city, kinda private moment. That is, if he's talking to me again by then :o

    I'm not sure but I'd go for Debenhams, they usually have a feeding room complete with free nappies (although they'll be too big for Andrew I'm guessing lol. How is he feeding now?

    Thanks for the replies ladies! Was presuming that Boots would have facilities, but didn't know whether the Arndale centre would (as opposed to basic babychange).

    methinks BIL is the one that should be getting an iron :p
    My mum got Christmas themed tea towels one year from her MIL :rotfl:

    Do you ever wonder what your DIL will think of you?

    Ooooh, thanks for that, if I've managed to do "scrummy mummy" then I'll try Debenhams :D but if I've only managed "slummy" then I'll be a bit out of place!

    Andrew's just about to be promoted from "micro" nappies into "size 1" :j Feeding is still hit-and-miss, only one good BF session a day and the rest is EBM in bottles after 20 minutes of trying. I'm glad he's still happy to try, as it means he's not becoming bottle-dependent (no offence to anyone - just happy to prove the teat/nipple confusion argument wrong).

    Nope

    They always thought I was hopeless at cooking til they came round and I did a beef roast which FIL said was lovely much to the surprise of MIL who then tried to make out she cooked!

    Darn, Jack's awake and I've not done his bottles - better run!

    Which teats are you using? We carried on with the NUK ones that they use in hospital and Rhys hasn't had any confusion issues either :) (same with T&B too)

    what is this scrummy you speak off? :rotfl:
    I always go for the deb's loos especially now because they usually have a family toilet too that has the mini toilets that Chris can use.
    I think people must get miffed by me with my posh pram and designer changing bag but me looking very young and scruffy lol

    I'm glad he's doing well :) I bet he comes on leaps and bounds now he's past his due date :D
