    I feel I need to make our lives finacially easier and therefore me be happier and more content to be able not to worry anymore. I'm applying for jobs and keep looking for work but do want to be offered something rather than being turned down as eventually I think that'll start working against the little bit of confidence I might have left.

    So sorry that turned out as a real pour out of everything

    Claire thanks for your thoughtful post.

    I really hope with all my heart you are quickly offered something fulfilling which gives you a chance to use those parts of you that don't feel fulfilled at the moment, and which will give you enough money not just to survive, but to thrive and enjoy life.:)

    Once they are rolling you have no choice as to how they sleep anyway!! Wait until he is doing laps of the cot in his sleep!! Personally I would let him sleep however he wants, whatever 'they' say.

    TBH it was OH worrying more than me and saying this like 'Oh but what if he suffocates' - yeah like I really need you to point that out to me!

    I went up earlier and he was lying diagonally across the cot so is a little little wriggler. Everyone is amazed at how active he is - he constantly kicks his legs and waves his arms around and is always chatting away.

    Claire - what Weezl said! I would love not to work but I can't afford it and I do secretly think that as much as love being off work it will soon start to wear me down inside.
    I really hope you can find something soon.

    Just catching but Beenie, that brick train rules......kinda......not really.

    Don't knock it missus - it's awesome :rotfl:

    I told the boys I'd driven past a brick train and they didn't believe me, so I drove them down one day to show them. They loved it :D

    I'm scared of girls' nappies too, now I have a boy! Not even sure if I've ever changed a girls nappy at all!

    I know this sounds stupid, but when I was pregnant with Charlotte, I was most scared about how to change a girls dirty nappy. With having the boys, I knew poo wipes easily off balls, but I had this fear of spending ages with a girl wiping poo out of all her little flappy bits :o Thankfully I now know it doesn't really get in the flappy bits unless it's a particularly bad explosive one.

    Been shopping with Charlotte this morning for bathroom tiles. Needed 21 packs of large tiles from Homebase, plus borders and a tin of paint. Had to load them up into two trollies as I could only push half as they were so heavy, then negotiate the car park twice with them, while watching Charlotte in case she ran off. Felt pleased with myself afterwards for managing on my own though. I think I'll go and burn my bra now :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    hehe - the suspense is killing me!

    I wish J would hurry up & wake up I wanna go out so I can come home and do Wii Fit. If I do it now he'll wake up halfway though. Probably should have done it when I put him down instead of catching up on here! :rolleyes:
