:rotfl:still no rolling, but manages a bit of bum shuffling. When he wants to he can cover almost a meter in a minute I think the lack of locomotion is probably a lack of motivation! I also think I'm the kind of mummy who just passes him the toy he's interested in rather than lets him get frustrated!

ATM I'm looking at it as a bonus, a lazy baby til after his brother comes is just fine by me:D;)

which 3 of you were snuggling Sami, you, DH and edgar or you Christopher and edgar?:)

I like to think that 'lazy' babies are just working on he cerebral things first :cool: or he's luring you into a false sense of security and the day lil bro arrives he'll scoot around at a million miles an hour just to annoy you
the 3 in a bed nap was Me, Ed n Chris. Edgar feeding/sleeping me dozing and Chris watching cbeebies
Last night we had rubba dub dub 3 boys in a tub

can I share one of the things I'm stressed about? DH's work have a slow payback time on staff expenses. DH often has to go away/travel to london via train buy books and materials out of our money and then be reimbursed. This month it is around £350.

With christmas, renewal of annual house and professional insurances it feels really close to the wire. I shall have to go overdrawn to pay the mortgage. (it's fee free so not really that bad!) I just find it so frustrating and find I'm trying to micromanage our finances so much to accomodate it. (rooted out a 50p piece I knew was in the change bag the other day for a can of chopped tomatoes cos I daren't take it out of the current account )

Aww Weezl that is annoying. My previous employer was the same, and when you've forked out £100s on travel it has a big impact on cashflow.

:grouphug: I kind of understand as I often have to watch our cashflow carefully at the end/beginning of the financial year because of OH's work being seasonal. And when we were first married and were claiming housing benefit I actually cried when the first cheque finally arrived over four months after applying.

Is it usual to have to pay out so much or is this just an unusual month? If it's unusual, is there any way of requesting a special reimbursement because of the high amount? If it's usual, do they work through the expenses in descending order of amount or by name and would they be receptive to any feedback/suggestions which might improve the situation?

good suggestions as ever susan, thanks I'll see if DH knows how the system operates at the mo...

How's it going with DH working the later shifts? Has alice adjusted? Are you coping ok with a longer day without him?
