    Happy Birthday to Chris :T yay on being 3!!

    I thought my HV was great and never seen it as interfernce at all, but then she was the type that was giving me loads of praise. Flattery got her everywhere with me.

    When DH took me to court 6 years ago for custody of my now 8 YO, social services got involved and that was a nightmare. I felt like my parenting skills were under a microscope.

    SS, has your neighbour been quiet today. Did your OH have any look at meeting today?

    Nothing so far Angela and he's not been up to the office yet. But no noise either, and I think he knows that if he calls the police for a counter-complaint about noise at 11pm on a couple with a small baby he'll end up in trouble rather than us. It's just very annoying.

  • Just to add can't be doing with HV, my first HV was a very strange lady. She stressed me out about my lo's weight gain. There was nothing wrong with her. Suffice to say i haven't been to the HV with my 2nd lo.

    Definitely warmer than my freezing house, it was built in 1876 and I think big draughty holes were a design feature then! Trying to sew some shorts for Eloise (cut down old joggers and jeans) but my fingers are too cold!
    lol I have a holey 100+yo house too brrrr :rolleyes:

    our heating is 60p an hour if on constant... We have a half hour every 3 hours :)

    It's tricky to work it out for other people cos I don't know your gas tariff or boiler efficiency but can't be loads different :confused:

    HTH xxx
    told you she'd know! :cool:

    even in my draughty house I think it'll be cheaper than the 10min drive and £5 entry to the playcentre then... (still gonna take Chris 2mo or friday though :D)

    you are so disaplined our heatings been on constant since we got home from skiing :o

    My heating's been on constant since about September :eek:
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
