    Congratulations MFD and elle on your work stuff :)

    Feel better Weezlie, I'm glad you got a nap. Don't doubt yourself, you're doing a great job :grouphug:

    AF you're doing a great job too, I hope it gets easier for you :grouphug:

    PP :eek: how brave of you. Hope it gets sorted.

    Feelie and Glam, loving the photos - Glam that middle one of Jack's brilliant :rotfl:

    Feelie, I'm amazed at him with a whole apple, that's fantastic :)

    BM that's not minging, it's MSE - but I hope you washed it before you put your stuff in it :rotfl:

    Horrified by all these bins not collected forever stories - this is why Germany is awesome. And because I'd have to send Molly to school at 4 years 1 month with children a year older. That just seems so scary :(

    Congratulations Uncle Bruno!

    Sami I'm still not looking at that woman-breastfeeds-dog article :p

    Jillie, any update on your makeover?

    Still playing with my MSE holiday and v v embarrassed about my clothing slip yesterday - but I would had had to buy summer clothes in June anyway and since now I don't I'm just hopping back on the no-spend wagon. I bought three bikinis, a sarong, a summer dress, a pair of wrap trousers and two skirts for £70. And I'll also need to buy Molly a swimsuit or two but she's not really part of my clothing ban so that's ok :)

    I do need to book flights and stuff soon, too. Hmph. I think I'd like to fly to London Friday morning, spend the day there and then head back to the Travelodge in good time in the evening, perhaps after nommy dinner in Chinatown. NOMNOMNOM.

    Thanks everyone. I love the 2nd one! He was like give me more now!!

    3 he is 14lbs 5oz now! He's a big boy and I keep telling him that if he keeps eating all his milk and porridge that he'll be big and strong like Daddy ;)

    Weezl - sorry you are feeling a bit down today. I wish I did still live in Cardiff so I could come and watch Fergie so you could get some sleep. AM glad you got a little nap - sometimes the powernaps work better than a much longer sleep!
    Bruno - Congrats on becoming an uncle! :beer:
    Elle - Excellent news! :beer:
    AF - Stick with the routine from last night. I am so not a routine person at all and it doesn't help that I always end up running late with tea so I end up either scoffing food or just leaving it so that I can get Jack ready for bed. I've stuck with the same routine for 3 nights and it is working - the plan tonight is to sit on the floor out of sight (I sit on the bed where he can see me) and then tomorrow to leave the room completely.

    Just done my BB review on carrier - they had sent a 2nd email witrh a load more questions on!

    my bottle snuggler came today so hoping it keeos the bottlles warm during a feed! thanks for the link Sami

    Afternoon all..

    I've got the assistant to the Compliance Manager job :j

    Woohoooo that's awesome :) congratulations! And the KIT days to ease in are perfect.
    Congratulations Uncle Bruno. Are they nearby? Will you get to see much of the little one?
    They're in London too so hopefully, public transport bit of an effort between the two of us (maybe an hour) but drive is under 30 mins. Will definitely be encouraging OH+Elijah to visit in future months!
    If we can provide evidence that we can do what we say on the tin then we will have a nice day, if we can't the day will be arkward and I will be in here in tears on Tuesday night!!

    Because the Great Flood will come if you can't deliver?? :eek: :p Sounds really great for long-term career as well as short-term, so extra congrats!
