Claire - if you search for completed listings of used jumperoos they go for between £40 - 55 so I'd think £45 is good (not as fab as elle's £35 tho!)

WM, bottles and bags done the night before, clothes laid out ready, shoes and jackets sitting in one place and it will be a lot easier. As well as a set of gloves next to de icer and scraper, ones you won't wear that day because they will be soaked by the time you are done. Simples

Elijah used to like playing with his feet - he has now graduated to playing with my feet, to the extent that there is actually a particular squealing noise he makes that we have labelled his "I see toes!" noise, which always predates a mad rush to grab said toes and attempt to wave the attached foot around by them. It is very strange!

Thanks Tia. Getting DS to move himself is the worst thing. How many times in a morning can you say, "go do your teeth", "get dressed", "put your coat on". As he does the exact same thing every day, you would think he would know what to do. But no, he has the attention span of a gnat and veres off onto something else countless times and has to keep being told.

Would also help if OH shiffted himself, and got up more than 10 minutes before he has to be out the door. There is no way i'm doing all this by myself in January. I'll loose my mind.

Advent calender, forgot all about getting one of those (bad mummy). Had to nip to local tesco this morning to get one. When not working loose track of what day / date it is. Have to make sure i remember when 10th Dec is, as its DS 6th birthday. Am quite sure he will know when it is though.

My Health Visitor told me she took her DS to school in his PJs once because he wouldn't get dressed. Never happened again! Maybe i should try that one. lol :rotfl:
