    I apologise for the mega post, I've probably missed a few more pages while writing it! Perpare yourselves. Feel free to skip most of it, but look for your name, in case I've said something:

    The woman from the carseat advice place told me I could remove the head hugger bit after 12 weeks IIRC but I left it until he couldn't fit in with it anymore because it's softer for his head, I think I removed it around 18wks.
    seth still has his cos if he falls asleep in the car without it his head lolls forward and i worry about hurting his neck if i have to brake suddenly! it just moves up the back and isnt fixed!

    Glam- I have tried to explain the bottle making process to matthew in order to curb his impatience but he does not appear to listen. When he is really hungy he will literally dive onto his bottle and shout at you if you stop to wind him lol.

    Jack is a really vocal baby - he's always babbling away or shouting at me if he wants stuff, he's a right chatterbox already just like me!

    Amber just does her ugly face when she wants fed. Infact she is due doing it soon...

    Can I ask about poo's now? I am the TMI queen today. :D Ambers poos are so runny that everytime she does one, its a full change of clothes. She has been like that since birth but it is slowly getting worse. Do you think a change to hungry baby milk would help or would it just be upsetting her for nothing as she is quite ahppy on stage 1?

    on that note... MUSTARD ALERT!!

    Tia is it the runniness of the poops or the lack of absorbency of the nappies? We found poopsplosions happened with Huggies, and then the Pampers ones were fine and now the BumGenius reusables are fine too.

    Or could you buy a couple of pairs of those pants you put over reusables and keep her in those so at least the leakage is confined?

    How often does she go? Toby goes every 2-3 days, so there is always quite a lot and half the time it goes up his back. It is worse if it is a very wet nappy, or he is sat down. What size nappies? Could you try a size smaller?

    Hi all :)

    back from my third working day :D

    Fergie seems to like hanging out with my mum, and doesn't shun me on my return, which is good.

    I'm quite liking seeing clients as it is a very balancing thing to do. Fergus' life is very simple and straightforward, but a little bit of me is not 'used' when I'm with him. My client's needs are more interesting and stretching. Each part of my week reinvigorates me for the other bit-thus far, but it's early days :)

    Bruno, have you reclaimed the rebate on your pension contributions (I think you are in the 40% band, but ignore me if not) that could go some way to undermining the claim for the 1800 the HMRC are making? I think it can be backdated 6 years?

    HTH
