Beenie - glad your neighbours situation looks like it may improve!

Re routine, it is my personal opinion that babies should dictate their own routine at a young age (as in I don't think they should be left to cry because you want them to go to bed at a certain time etc).
I am only now trying to monitor Holly to see what she does, and put her down a bit earlier at night and work towards a routine, but I wouldn't have tried this any younger than 3 months (and I still wouldn't leave her to cry etc). However, I only have her to worry about and I agree with Boogelly that I don't know how I would cope with an older child too! Also, I imagine if you are breastfeeding on demand, it must be even more difficult to manage a routine, and Holly has been very good as she sleeps through anyway.
If you do manage it, then good for you though. It must be difficult having to do the school run and get them both organised on your own. You are doing a great job. How is Amber's bottom btw? x

No damage other than microwave, apart from the smell!
When I say 'fire' I actually mean thick black smoke and glowing red hot not actual flames. I am prone to meladrama:D

Still flucked off thats the kettle, washing machine and microwave. Not to mention the trampoline incident and the upstairs hall DG window :mad: Just when I get sorted something else goes

tarajayne

GISI, what about this meet up then???

Weezl, thanks, putting 4 scoops in then mixing then the other 4 is working out better. I'm just lazy and it seems drawn out, but better than cleaning up gloopy powder.

Mel, you know you have probably just made Elle buy that rocker! :rotfl: Its lovely!

Feely, I'm good, less stressed right now which is great, but have admitted to myself that I am a shopaholic and it's getting out of hand (even with all the finance planning I'm itching to work out how I can sneakily get £20 to buy crap). All at home good right now. Sorry your not doing so well, nothing I can say but I hope you find a way to get better huni.

Harley, I meant to comment on your pics, Kezia is lovely with a huge amount of hair and eyes as blue as MM's Dylan! A snowman is a snowman but sadly, DH was telling me of the nearby snow castle with details such as leadwork on windows! Nutters round here, cos its all villages, we aint goyt nowt better to do.

Jillie, did I tell you that I managed to wash the bouncer? It washes fine, I out it in on a 30' handwash (cos of all the poo). It was dripping when it came out though. Kian is a bouncer pooper too isn't he?

Beenie, Amber had to be in a routine of sorts from 2 weeks old as well. 7am feed, boys dropped off at 9 and 9.30am, then fed again at 10-10.30am. I learned to ignore her if she was crying and she learned she had to wait and was better off sleeping.

Weezl, I missed it, were you scanned or are they guessing? They swore blind DS2 was breech and so I was scanned on admision to hospital (3 days before my body evicted him) and he was head down and perfect.

Tara, your poor friend! She must be so peeved right now, hoep things get better.

Can we all point and laugh about your cooking skills now? So bad she even burnt the microwave! :rotfl:

Sorry!
