    I personally would never give a bath after a bottle, bottles send babies sleepier quicker than baths !! (but then my 2 go hyper in the bath :rolleyes:)

    I agree, always bot bot then beddybo's

    Oh Em.. sorry, I have a work related question.. :o

    How long does it take for SS to put new lenses in existing frames? I need stronger lenses (have done for ages!) but haven't gotten around the pain-staking trip of choosing new glasses so thought I could get new lenses in old frames just for the time being.. :cool: Thanks heaps! xx

    its actually quite nice to be back at work, i quite like having some time to be me rather than seths mummy! i have realised how bored i was when i was just at home every day, and i think i am getting more exercise running round the shop all day which can only help ;) and seth seems to be loving it there, she has even got him to drink water from a cup which i couldnt get him to do before he went there lol!! when i was at work on sunday OH brought him in to see me and i must admit i wanted to scoop him up and come home with them, but it was ok really :)

    is benjamin still loving going to his CM? and playing with his two girl friends??

    Buggysnuggles are not thick like regular cosy toes, but they are super snuggly. Not as wind proof though, but I'll be getting one. The star wrap is great, but won't do bigger babies/toddlers. (my friend has a buggy snuggle)

    it depends if they have the lenses in :) SS are franchises so all tend to do things a bit differently, but we keep lots in and can usually reglaze lenses within a hour :) depends on your prescription too, if its a high one then it might pay to wait a little longer cos the lenses might be thinner if they order the right size rather than just using stock lenses! ours come in the next day, but we are 30 mins away from the factory so again not sure how it would work for other stores. sorry, thats all a bit rubbish of me :rotfl:

    Ta :) I'll see if I get chance tomorrow to go ask.. I only have one pair of normal glasses (my second pair last time were sunglasses) and they're for driving so can't be without them for long! The prescription isn't strong, 0.5 and 0.75 I think :)

    Obiously all this depends on me finding my glasses and prescription.. Was driving in my sunglasses this afternoon which at 3.30pm I was actually quite glad of! :o

    Elle - it also may not be worth getting glasses reglazed (sorry for barging in) I had some reglazed because my eyes decided to go downhill only 6mths after I'd got new ones it cost me £80 but I could have got 2 new pairs for £85ish depending on what style I liked, the only reason I did it was because I loved the frames and didn't like any of the new ones
