3-6 onions to 500g of mince :eek: Wowzers, it's interesting to learn of other people's cooking though

Onions are cheaper than mince.

What do you call that website where you can look at how well a school has done in it's inspection?

Fiction.

I remember a woman bringing toddler into surgery covered in blood - he'd bitten right through his tongue and there was a hole in it _pale__pale_:eek::eek:

My OH did that when he was little by falling down the stairs. Apparently they stitched it back up with no anaesthetic and MIL said it was awful having to wait outside hearing him scream. He doesn't remember it at all though.

Ah ok AF I actually just went to ur FB page to double check your relationship staus b4 putting my big size 9s in lol. It is a battle and if you just givein a take them in bed it's harder to get out of that routine. I did it the 1st couple of nites in the new house as I felt sorry for her then she started waking every nite "mamas bed" "mamas bed" so we're still sorting this prob out lol

We had that when we moved too but it was "Mummy-Daddy's room, I need to sleep in Mummy-Daddy's room."

BM in englnd you start primary the september after you turn 4yo although legally you don't have to send them until the sept after they're 5 (but they would go straight into year one and skip reception)

I thought legally it was the term after you turn five? (So Sept-December birthdays have to start by January of Reception Year, January to March after Easter and then April to August don't have to start until September of Year One. Our local authority takes them all full time from September of Reception Year but some areas they either don't start them until it's compulsorary or they have them part-time from the September and then switch to full time depending on when they turn five.

I've not heard of P1-P7 before

We had "P"s for a while when I was in primary school. It started off Reception, Bottom Infants, Middle Infants, Top Infants and then J(unior)1 to 4 but then they changed it to P1-7 (not sure exactly when that happened) and then they changed it to Reception and Year 1 to 6 around 1989 so I think it was assosciated with the introduction of the National Curriculum. But Scotland has a completely different system. (I think NI has a different system too.)

Hi again,

I'm feeling really down today and yesterday.

I think it's tiredness (been up since 3.30) the weather and hormones. But it's manifesting as tearful overwhelmedness, financial anxiety and questioning myself, friendships and relationships

might try to see if I can ask someone to have F a little while this afternoon so I can sleep...

Oh Weezl ((HUGS)) we are all here for you - on here or by PM if you want to have a little moan.



Benjamin woke at 3.10am for ten minutes and then at about 7am (whilst I was in the shower). He looks shattered this morning but seems in a good enough mood.

We have been trying to get him to say 'Ball' seeing as that is his favourite thing but he just says 'blah' :rotfl:


We have rain, and lost of it!! Yay for rain :T

Awww, Weezl huge hugs xxxx

I think the weather and the January blues is probably playing a big part x
Everything seems a million times worse when you are tired so please do try and get a wee respite from fergie and get your head down.
Go straight to bed, don't worry about any mess or anything and I promise things will seem so much better when you get back up.

We are always here for you x

Morning all. Elle I thought you were turning in early last night?:rotfl:

And AF and Beanie (and everyone else too!) I hope you all got to sleep in the end. When did you start your new regime AF? We have been doing ours since last tuesday night and she has slept through the last 3 nights. I'm still having to gently hold her down to start with, but when she calms down I'm just sitting next to her and doing the occasional back rubbing. So we till have a little way to go, but it is taking less time to get her to sleep than it was when I was feeding her. You will get there

hi lady,

last night was my first night of doing a 'routine' with all intentions of sticking to it. i am going only the lines of gradual withdrawal with a bit of cc thrown in (in terms of not letting her push me around as to what she wants to be doing - ie. going to sleep in my arms or in my bed, although i never leave her inthe room on her own when she is crying)

by golly it was hard, but i got through it and will be doing the same tonight with a few slight tweaks so not as to confuse her.

after i went to bed last night, she went through to 3.10am. i managed to get her to settle herself without too much of a problem. she then went through to 5.30am. as she normally wakes up around 6ish and has some of a bottle, i decided to let her have her bottle then. i did that and she was again awakish when i put her down and she then woke herself up at 7.30 am.

i am wondering, should i do the story after the bottle so that she is more awake when i put her in the cot or whether to do the book before the bottle and just not let her go off as much on the bottle as i did last night.

she wont have a bar of me trying to hold her hand or put my hand on her chest when she is crying. she just pushes me away.

i am hoping she doesnt hate me as when i said to her this morning 'kisses for mum' i got a nice open mouth kiss straight on the lips :T

weezl - have you had fairy post yet???

morning all

Oh Weezl, big hugs.
I know you wouldn't, but don't under-estimate the effect of pg hormones on your state of mind. I think I only really realised after I had H just how overwhelmed I'd been by it all. What I'm trying to say is it's totally normal to feel like you do, not that that's much consolation. I think getting someone to watch Fergie so you can relax is a fab idea. Do you have someone you can ask?

oh weezl .... big hugs and loads of tissues for you

good idea to get someone to have F for you, i would more than happily offer my services but couldn't get to you in time.

please dont question yourself, you are absolutely amazing in all respects and i think i would have everyone's agreement on here about that.

we love you

AF: I do bottle downstairs and go upstairs and into bed for story.

quite often K just wants left alone when he is tired, like just now for example he was sitting crying on my knee, obviously tired, but wouldn't settle.
I've stuck him in his pram and hes pulled the blanket over his head and went to sleep.
Sometimes people are annoying when you are tired, even when its mum and you love them x

sorry AF I meant to come on last night when my neighbour popped round with it (our letterbox is a wee bit wee!) and say a huge thank you, but then I got a bit down and preoccupied .

I am very grateful though, and impressed that your fairies have piccies of your Avatar on their labels :cool::p
