The woman on the phone made a good point, what would I do during summer holidays with Keira etc? Her nursery isn't open then, would be me relying on my mum to babysit, she would but still, hmmmmm! Maybe during those sort of times she could go into a private nursery, Im sure they would give discount.....It's £38.50 a day there. I probs wouldnt even earn that!!

If you can claim working tax credits I think they pay up to 70% childcare costs. I know when I used private daycare/CM they helped me.

Feely - what is the issue with going for a walk? do you have to stop often to 'centre' yourself /panic or is it your on going spd?

It is the actual getting out of the door that is a problem at the moment. My anxiety just gets really bad and I can't force myself out. I struggled to put rubbish in the bin too, and that is my own garden.

Right, just joined bizziebaby! I've been meaning to for some time. I hope I get something good to review soon!

Oh yes, and with you all talking about nursery fees - I've got Elenas place booked at the nursery close to my work for when I have to go back (boo ) and it's going to cost me £700 per month :eek: This does include nappies/wipes/formula (if I want it) and catered meals from an outside restaurant, which they mush up until it's soft enough for your baby to eat

We ended up having a very serious talk about drugs and alcoholism

Sorry to ask such a personal question, but do you have worries about your kids developing alcoholism? It is something I fear.

Oh god yes, very much so. The debate is still on with regards to wether alcoholism is genetic.

The older 2 have grown up in an environment, where their views on alcohol have been skewed. They have seen my reaction and fear to alcohol and their dads uncontrollable thirst for it.

I have started to have the odd glass of wine at home during the weekend and the kids were very startled to say the least. I think they thought I was going to be like their dad.

Im now trying to counteract the damage that has been done, but I feel they are at such a disadvantage because they have never had a normal undertanding of drinking.

AF - did you get an answer about travel cot? The one you linked to looked a bit flimsy, would LO be able to get out, and is that a problem? Sleeping in a set place might be an idea, as long as it is safe if she gets out.
