thanks lady

guess i'll be more familiar with childrens tv over the coming months

You will indeed. We don't have kids tv on very often, but sometimes it helps break the day up a bit when you're having a tricky day

I'm a bit of a wimp and don't want to cut it out in case he wakes in the night for a bottle. don't want him to start wanting a bottle every 3hrs from 3am if I can help it. When I go up to do the dream feed, he is always chomping for it and does take a good 6oz. I think the plan is to wait until he is having 2 meals a day and he's taking teh extra during the day.

Ha, wimp! :rotfl:

I've discovered I can breastfeeding while playing on the PS3 and I completed Assassins Creed 2 to 100%!

Can I tell my DH about that? He will be impressed (more so if it was an xbox)

Susan and Beccles - I do, do the speed up and grab her hand tighter, but she manages to yank her hand out a lot and then just stands still and won't move, So I just walk ahead and leave her behind a few feet and she soon runs ahead moaning and then stops again X repeat. I don't do that on the nursery run though as it's next to the main road, also she does the 1 arm dance when you speed up on her, so I'm pretty much just dragging her! She's evil

She walked home nicely today though, and managed to fall AGAIN, that's everyday this week! Nicely covered in mud she was, and I got the age ol "Is my leg got blood" "Let me look then" NOOOOOOO *SCREAM* BLOOOOOOOD!"

Was there a new hairy bikers tonight? Im about to make those haggis samosas! I'll let ya know how they turn out.

My house is so nice without the PS3, no rat a tat tat of guns being shot, no OH swearing when someone kills him, no OH moaning at Keira when she interrupts his GAMING TIME. The TV is on more now, and have been watching CSI, Fat Familys, XXL generation etc all together. Much nicer than PS3!

bm hairy bikers was on tuesday .. next one on tuesday (see a pattern here :rotfl:) ... i saw them ive never tried haggis but i'll give anything a go :rotfl: x

Ooooh I'd be interested in your findings

It's very variable - sometimes something is cheaper than the supermarket and then another time it isn't. Last time I ordered some sultanas because it was cheaper than the supermarket and I needed them but now they're on offer in Asda (as they were this time last year too), it's cheaper to get them there. (The SUMA ones were noticably nicer but not nicer enough to justify getting when the Asda ones are cheaper.) Bicarbonate of soda is cheaper than the supermarket at the moment although it never has been previously. Dates are cheaper than the supermarket as are apricots. There's organic wholemeal pasta on offer which works out at 15.75p/100g. Normally it's too expensive to be worth the extra cost so I usually just make a random choice between organic and wholemeal when I go to the supermarket. Manuka Honey is cheaper but regular honey isn't. Herbs and spices are mostly cheaper than the supermarket but I get mine from a man in the market so it's only worthwhile for the cinammon as I don't get through the others quickly enough for the quantities you have to buy. Almonds (for making almond butter) were cheaper too. A lot of things it depends on what quantity you buy so sometimes you can get it cheaper than the supermarket but only by buying a silly quantity. Also a lot of my comparison was deciding what size packets to buy of things e.g. is it worth buying a larger pack to get a better price per 100g? Sometimes I decide to go for something from SUMA because I can get the organic version with a smaller price jump. Some things are just obscure things which you would only get in health food shops and are therefore always cheaper from SUMA (such as coconut oil and date syrup). (I apologise for the poor structure of this paragraph - I just wrote things in random order as I thought.)

I used to do that with Little Big Planet - haven't tried for a while, she is a bit easily distracted at the mo, so not sure it would work. She does like watching me play on the wii thought.

I had to stop reading this thread while breastfeeding because Alice got too distracted by the avatars - she would start saying baby, baby, sheep, bee as I was scrolling down. (She used to call ladybirds bees even though she knew they weren't because it's easier to say.)

Alice is wishing time away at the moment. She told me, "It's not January - it's February."

hi everyone,

sorry i disappeared around lunchtime and didn't return.

had a work meeting and there is quite a bit of uncertainty at the minute do to many issues and we need to make our office run as efficiently and as 'stand alone' as we can. internet usage we are being careful with (ie personal use) so we are cutting that down to lunch time only so that is when you will see me (thank goodness i hear your all say )

on a different note ... night 2 of the sleep training .. do you mind if i bore you all?? just want to get it down so i can see how we get on over the course of a week??

okay ... firstly, OH picked me up with LO as we were going shopping. she was tired and ended up napping in the car for about 15 mins. was a bit worried about this as i didn't want it effecting getting her to sleep this evening, but as it was short i thought it might not pose too much of a problem.

did all the night night and kisses and bye byes downstairs before i brought her upstairs.

by 7.40pm we were in the bath. i had kept telling her since i saw her that we were going to do 'bath story bottle bed' tonight. she was rubbing her eyes in the bath so i knew she was tired (and she also only had one nap again today for about an hour and that was 10.30am to 11.30am!!!)

brought her into our room to dress her. i have been getting everything out ready before i put her in the bath to make it easier/quicker. as i did last night, i let her hold her book while i was dressing her. put her sleeping bag on again, as i did last night.

i read some rhymes out of her book to her but she was more interested in putting her finger through the hole in the page (where the thing fits that you press and the tune of the rhymes start). the last rhyme in the book is 'teddy bear teddy bear turn around'. i am going to use this every night as the last one to read as it says 'teddy bear teddy bear turn out the light'. it is then that i turn out the light and start to give her her bottle.

she probably had half a bottle again tonight (although she didn't eat as well today as she did yesterday). she was being a bit funny with how she was sucking it and i figured she didn't really want it. she was still relatively awake but of course tired.

i was brave and put her in the cot like that. this was about 8.05pm. i laid her down and started patting her and singing to her. she kept trying to get up and i just kept putting her down. she then seemed to give up on that idea. i did have the tv on for light but the sound down, but i then turned it off completely. she laid on her back crying, and she got a stressy with it at times but i just kept singing. i stopped patting her as i think this made her worse but even though she couldnt see me as it was dark she knew i was still there cause i was singing to her.

within 15 minutes she was asleep. woo hoo!!!!!!!!! i did stop singing to her at one stage (as i was getting sick of dingle dangle scarecrow) and i kept saying the teddy bear rhyme.

so i think it was just after 8.30pm that she was asleep.

AND ....... she still is asleep now. no waking within the hour like last night. she has of course tossed and turned a bit and made some noises but she has not woken.

whats the bet she will now

i am now hoping to get to 3am again without her waking ...... fingers crossed ....

sorry for the novel but nice to get it down

eek.........she on the wriggle now
