    ooh biscuit copying :)
    We only used 1 box of size 2's then Ed went straight into sz3 baby dry/super dry as cheaper and more absorbant than new baby
    Chris is allergic to active fit so I just avoided them for Ed too but IIRC active fit are more expensive than the dry ones :)

    Ahh and he made shortbread using my Grandma's recipe from her handwritten recipe book!!!

    I am wondering about shooting straight into big nappies rather than newborn no 3's....At the moment Sainsburys are cheapest for all sizes as far as I can see but dont know whether to wait til Asda event starts and Morrisons at the weekend to compare again

    Aren't the Asda nappy offers the same as always, until the very end of the event (if you're lucky)? :confused:

    We still have our £50 Sainsburys vouchers from work.. I'd best get down there soon then! :)

    hi feely,

    what are you going to do when Toby is with the nanny??? are you popping out or using it more of a break (for want of a better word) while you are there.

    First prority will be Pyscotherapy when the referal comes though. Then physio, anxiety management and driving lessons as I can fit them in. Then the things Toby can't help me with as they are too dangerous - chores in the garage, deep cleaning, getting stuff in loft.
    Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.

    Hi Susan, I seen last night you were hoping to try for baby 2 when Alice stops feeding, just wondering, are you letting her stop on her own or encouraging her off it?
    Just letting her stop on her own.

  • SM - HUGS hun, and how about I make you a cuppa for a change :coffee:


    It is only the 12th day of the year and nothing has fallen apart (well apart from your washing machine ;) )

    Philips job isn't a gonner until the fat lady sings so to speak, and if it doesn't work out then maybe there may be a chance that he could get something else on a PT basis now he has had his finger in the pie and a taste of putting some money in the pot.

    It could be much worse, you and Philip are strong as anything and you have us...however little consolation that might be.

    More ((HUGS))

    i am sure you are going to find it so helpful having that time freed up to do what you need.

    also, i personally find LO benefits from not being with me all the time.

    Ordered one you little angel :A
    you are more than welcome to BTW, even though you think you were being funny :D

    I am back on 7th Feb but being retrained for my new role thing, so wont be taking appointments till end of March, and then my lovely ladies, you can all move your mortgage to me and I can do everything for you all :)

    My fixed rate is up for renewal in June so plenty of time for you to find me the best deal!
    Although, if OH doesnt get a permanent job by then we MIGHT look at moving back Cardiff way (Yeah, I can meet Weezl - if she wants).
    Seems silly living so far away from family now that OH not in his professional job anymore and I could get a job easy but would feel bad on the people that have offered me the job I start in June.

    Not even discussed this with OH though so don't know why I mentioned it :confused::o

    YAY for move to nearer branch and more money from less fuel.

    just seen this, so ignore my pm if you like ;):o

    Have you got a software package called adobe photoshop? it would need to be the advanced version rather than photoshop elements?

    If not, you're welcome to send me the images and I'll see what I can do :)

    I meant to ask what package you used - my sister uses adobe photoshop and I was amazed at what she could do! She took a gorgeous one of Jack in the bath but he had a big scratch on his nose and my arm was in the way but she got rid of both and it looked FAB!

    Tara - big hugs for you and DD :grouphug:

    Tiny Stars was, um, interesting I think would be the best word. They have joined it with Boobie Club - I am now going to the Surestart closer to me instead and the Boobie ladies were not very happy at being descended on. They got really arsy that a guy had turned up and were complaining about not being able to BF cos he was there and they sat away from everyone else and didn't join in any play or singing.

    Then got home and couldn't get up my drive it is so icy!

    Jack is flat out again and has been since 3pm - which means he will have had 2 nice long naps today instead of his usual 20min powernaps throughout the day! :j

    Where does the time go? :think:
