    I'm now thinking we need to complain to those phone in comp pleople but can't think what they're called??


    Thank God for that - I thought I might have imagined it but OH spotted it so knew I couldn't be making it up!!

    Oh, is it Ofsted? Or is that for teachers?! :confused:

    Ofcom regulators? :confused:

    Morning all.. Rhys did it again - last bottle at midnight then went to sleep at 2am (ah well!) through to 10.15am :D I've left him in bed with OH and his bottle.

    I've got three hours to blitz the house before our friends arrive.. :cool:

    SM - meant to say we got the walker out the other week at MILs and Ed loved it, so I'm sure Jayden will be ready for one too :D

    I'm really on the verge of making no effort at all for OH's family for Christmas :cool: They barely bothered with OH's birthday, haven't paid him the petrol money they promised for him visiting their houses whilst they were away in September (ten round trips, over an hour each :o) and don't seem at all bothered about Rhys :(

    Oooh, snap (almost). Marley's family forgot it was his birthday (his 40th), and the only cards he had on the day were from me, Andrew and my family :mad: I know I have to remind him about his family's birthdays but I draw the line at reminding them about his :rotfl: So if he doesn't want to think about what christmas presents to buy them, I'm certainly not going to do so ............

    Sooo alike! :( OH's cards were from me, Rhys, my parents, my grandparents (inc £35 birthday money!), his mate and his parents. Still heard nothing from his sister - correction, has heard from her cos she wanted a favour, no mention of his birthday! :mad: I get annoyed that they don't even do "special" cards, just ordinary plain birthday cards too.. :o I've been bargain hunting to make sure I get the cheapest price on their presents but not so much on my family's.. :whistle:

    My friend was complaining about that the other day, she was going to see her parents about 2hrs away and the ticket was cheaper than the 30min journey to work - !!!!!!!?

    Hi folks
    Used to post on pg thread, but apart from announcing little un's birth I haven't had time to come on here, so no idea what I've missed - feel like a newbie all over again! She's 5 weeks old now, things getting marginally easier each week - still BF apart from bottle of formula at bedtime & at 2 or 3 a.m. - got to have her going those 4 hours or so or I'll go ga-ga from tiredness! BF longer than any of other kids, so quite pleased! Toddler's behaviour was atrocious first few weeks, but slowly improving.
    We have 3 much older children as well, and had a toddler & 4 week old baby one Christmas and was far better organised than I am this year - don't know why I can't get it together now - prob old age lol!! :)
    DS got toddler for few mins, DH just got in, so off for quick lunch, then tidying horrid mess in this room!
    Hope you all have nice Sundays, will try to keep up now!
