    thanks red! He is my little baldy man :rotfl:

    Bumbo's - They are supposed to teach baby to sit properly & have been developed alongside Orthopaedic bods. He has started sitting up better on my lap since he's been in the Bumbo!
    They are on offer in Mothercare atm - around £26 WITH the tray! I paid £25 without tray (tray around £7.99) and that was down from £35!!!

    Oh cool! My dad had one for my brother and i think they are cool! lol.

    I might take a peek on mothercare online :D

    Thanks :)

    How cute Glam :)
    Bumbos are brilliant! We had one exactly the same for my son and we used to take it about with us whilst visiting family,etc. Reminds me that I'll have to ask my friend to pass it back to me for the baby :)

    thanks Super!

    Yeah it is so handy to carry around - dont have to worry about taking bulky bouncy chair! I meet with 3 other mums regularly & end up holding Jack as none of us 4 chairs/mats etc so will start taking it with me!

    Right, for my EPO, Calcium and Arnica it will cost me £20.28 from H&B :D
    Getting the bigger packs as they work out cheaper in the long run.

    Thats not including more RLT, i'll just get that as and when i need it :)

    I have 40 tea bags at the moment.
    Plan is:

    32wks-34wks: 1 cup a day = 14 tea bags
    34wks-36wks: 2 cups a day = 28 tea bags
    36wks-38wks: 3 cups a day = 42 tea bags
    38wks - 40weeks + : 4 cups a day = 56 tea bags

    Total = 140 tea bags/7 boxes :D

    And then if i have any left afterwards i will drink them to help with milk production etc :)

    Thanks :)

    Just realised we have a H&B on the high street lol I had no idea it was there lol

    Awww Glam, Jack is lush

    Nice to hear about the bumbo cos I htought they looked uncomfortable but its nice to know that they have been made in line with helping baby sit up etc

    just to say EA that your extra EPO can be taken after you have the baby as apparently it's good for PMS and period-related stuff? that's what I'm keeping mine around for anyway.

    a lot of people swear by arnica, but it did nothing for me :confused:

    hope you got the answers you wanted!

    also re: the washable nappies discussion earlier - I'm using terries with Finn (disposables at night only b/c DH hasn't gotten the hang of terries) but also have some Motherease One-Size winding their way towards me in the post that we will use. Also using washable liners & washable wipes :)

    3 - H is the same he could get over the gate if he really wanted but knows its there to keep him away, oh and he likes teddies and balls too. LOL about the blue slush pupies!

    Kindof - I have achey bump too, think thats what was keeping me awake last night tbh. Good bag list, not sure those ice chips would last long tho!Oh and I figure I'd need to buy another 5 boxes of RLT to last me through the plan to 40 weeks (have 2x20 already).

    Glam - Jack is just too cute :D And good to know about the Bumbo, was waiting to see what we got in the way of gifts first before buying one, I know they go cheap on Ebay too. But what with staff discount may just give in and get one from work.

    Right well did everything planned today which is always a bonus :D Rug ordered with B&Q and also bought a coat hook (pink with hearts and 4 pegs) to hang laundry bag and some other bits from. Got to asda too, no clothes sale bargains (not that she needs any!) but did get my smart price shower curtain and made the best of pet week :D Went to ILs and now have the most beautiful hand made shawl and two bonets, plus some cute clown bookends for my shelves, will try to remember to put pics up later :D its all coming together now am so chuffed.

    OH just cooked Gammon nom nom nom and about to have trifle hehe, shame I have to iron work clothes soon grr! theres always a down side to every day :(

    I have mini rolls :)

    I've ate 2 already, there are 4 left. Shall i share with OH? (bearing in mind he's ate the other 10..)

    Or eat them myself? :p

    eta: I gave 2 to OH :)

    Also, Mazuma mobile can offer me £48 for my phone! :D Getting a new one in March when my contract finishes so was looking to sell this one :)

    Thats a good deal EA :D what phone do you have? I have 3 old phones should really look at getting rid of them. OH and mini rolls are lush hehe.

    Well ironing done, some of it at least. Its made my back sore so sitting with heat pack on atm. Hope I sleep better tonight.

    Its just started snowing here, wonder how much is going to come down, if its loads am gonna phone in sick! Theres no way I can manage that walk in deeper snow, my hips killed last time so its not really a lie.
