Eh? Are we mental?! Is this not the same as looking forward to having my leg amputated so I won't have to have a lingering verruca? What madness the world of bounty inhabits :rotfl:

had some very random dreams last night like having part of my brain removed to get rid of my headaches but then losing part of my skull .. ive also woke up and i feel like ive been punched in the eye its all tender and alittle puffy so wondering if i smacked myself while i was asleep ...

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



Quick question - has anyone seen Tommee Tippee breast pads on offer? Are they likely to be in the Asda event?

I bought some when they were half price in Tesco (when still preg) but only bought one box in case i couldn't breastfeed or whatever. Really gutted now cos they're £5 for 50. 7 years ago Morrisons' own were very similar to them so i bought some but they're totally different and awful, they are small and like paper, not absorbant at all and not adhesive.

Otherwise, can anyone recommend any that are as good as TT?
Or do i just need to accept that it's gonna cost me £5. (Prob works out cheaper since i had to change the cheap ones every 2 mins:rolleyes:)

Morning all

I had a quick look at the OS board earlier whilst sat here with a cup of tea and toast. I was put to shame by everyone already having the washing machine on and lunch organised . So I now have two loads done and a third whirling as I type! . And I put DH to shame about lunch!

Is brain called brawn? Sure my grandad used to eat it many moons ago. And chicken feet, SS?! :eek::rotfl:

When Jamie was tiny DH let me lie in every weekend as he knew I needed the rest and also wanted to spend time with the children. Now we pretty much alternate between us as they both wake around 7:30am so its not too early really. But if we did need a lie in then it wouldn't be much more than an hour or so.

I have 16 TT pads, plus a box-and-a-half of Sainsbugs (approx 60), that I don't need and won't use - no leakage! They can be fairy-mailed if you are interested?

LOL Tigs - I was going to say the same.

Beenie - I have a box of 50 TT 'freedom' disposable breast pads that I don't need that the faries can send? Individually wrapped? PM directions if ya want them (PS Hope they the right ones cos they say £3.21 on them but I got them half price too!)

GRRRRR speaking of lie-ins this morning Molly woke me and I heard Husband telling her that he'd get up with her but she had to be quiet so they didn't wake Mama. Ten minutes later she's still chatting and he's still in bed. So I got up with her, Husband got up right after whinging that I'd ruined his surprise lie-in for me.

So far today I've cleaned and tidied the dining room, tidied the living room, fed Molly three times, dressed her, played with her for over an hour, organised some work stuff, sent an enquiry about his birthday/Valentines/anniversary present, showered, cleaned the bathroom, done dishes and sorted loads of rubbish to go downstairs. HE has faffed about on the computer and effed off back to bed after whinging at me because I objected to the state the kitchen was in, I'm trying Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hard here!!!

He's going to get a surprise when he wakes up....

Morning all!

Rhys and I woke up at 11am this morning. He slept in our bed last night - wasn't intentional, but I put him in the middle until OH came to bed and we both fell asleep. I remember waking up at 3am and OH still wasn't there (playing comp games, I suspect) but he was there when we woke up at 11am. Rhys woke me up by throwing his dummy at me.. repeatedly :cool:

Lazy day planned here, with a bit of filling the holes in the walls of Rhys' room for OH. Hopefully get some paint on the walls next weekend

.. I was thinking about Rhys a lot when I got to 30 weeks and realised Kester was the age Rhys was when born. Elle, I'm so amazed you had ANYTHING you needed, I have done so little prep!

I wasn't really organised! I'd been at the Baby Show in Birmingham the day before and ordered his cot and cot bedding; had bought his pram from my Godmother; and he had a selection of clothes (most of which he's not grown into yet!). Oh no, thinking about it, we had playgym, nappies, nappy bin all bought in the Asda Baby Event this time last year, but I think that's it. We didn't get the crib until about two weeks after he came home due to it not being in stock. I had no idea about labour/birth/breastfeeding, all that was supposed to be reading up once the rush at work had finished and I'd got my handover and training notes written up... never got those finished either! :rotfl:

Beenie, I was also going to offer fairy breast pads but I see you've had loads of fairies jumping to it before I could get there! but if you run out of those and still need more, I've also got massive quantities I'm not using (when I bought my breastpump, the seller threw them in free)

weezl, do you still do stuff like that or was it times of insanity for you? :rotfl: I'm always curious, as I actually read your threads on OS well before 'seeing' you on the Preg thread. You're famous!

One of my health visitors (I think) said that if baby is sleeping through early it is probably just that mum is a heavy sleeper and doesn't hear baby wake, so baby gives up waking up. No idea how true it is though .

My friends LO slept through from a couple of weeks old but then when she got ot 1 she started waking loads in the night so not always a good thing..


Henry slept from 8.15pm - 8.20am - thats unheard of in this house!!! So we all had a lay in this morning ( well me till 7.40 and OH till 8.30)

Maz - Do you want to stop the breast milk? I know you've mentioned it a few times but as I can't see your face when you say it I can't tell if you are just stressed and in the heat of the moment as it were or hoping for someone to tell you to stop/its ok to stop? *hugs* for you either way xx

Sami - Thanks for comments - I just think that its not right for William or
me - I am definately less stressed now EBM and FF - the breast feeding just doesnt happen as I am so full. It doesnt seem to matter if I express some off prior or not he just doesnt really like it and is so much better with FF... will carry on during the night but moving on to more FF as and when it happens

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHOPSTICKS :bdaycake:
