    I know this gets asked like every week but well it's my turn now :) I got yellow sticker good ies in sainsbury's today :cool: What do I do with my beef joints in the slow cooker? is it best to just put them and nothing else in or is carrots and a splash of red wine good?

    Thanks Sami, how about some onions/leeks or mushrooms as well?

    See I'm first on this morning and could have been last on as was still up at 1.30 trying to get William to sleep and then he was up at 6.30!!! Good job I dont need much sleep.

    My milk has finished I think as was trying to feed LO last night and nothing much coming out so we are now officially 100% FF me thinks..... cant remember but what do others do for night feeds with formula - do you use the cartons?

    Right Dentist today for me and food shopping to get it out of the way...

    Glam, I just thought he was getting a bit old for a feed at that time still. But so glad your now free and easy at nights, your OH can thank me whenever he likes, virtual chocolate is good ;):D

    Tia fergus STILL has a dream feed!:o We've tried moving it earlier by 15 mins a day and now it's 8.30. But the 3 times we've tried to stop he's woken at 3 and unconsoled by anything other than milk! Anything we can do?

    Maz can I have some of the not needing much sleep magic? I've been up since 4 :(

    We used to make up the night feeds and have them upstairs in a little argos mini fridge. HTH :)

    Poor Weezl :( you said this didn't happen with Fergy, did it? Very unfair for you and it's lasting such a long time too!

    There was 2 cow fields and a field of sheep behind my mums house growing up and that was the most vile smell in the world !! Especially on a warm day _pale_

    Used to live near a chicken farm. It wasn't too bad usually, but when the wind was in the wrong direction, the smell was awful _pale_

    Ex's grandfather had stables out of the back of his garden. He was a manic gardener and grew loads of veg and stuff, and he used to go and collect fresh manure from the horses to dig in. He offered us a sack full when we were visiting. It was summer and I didn't fancy driving back 350 miles with a sack of horse poop in the car, so I declined :D

    Charlotte is hyper this morning. I've got work to do, buying samples, a covert audit and a lunch job. She's bouncing around all over the place and keeps shouting "I'm going to work with Mammy" :rotfl:I hope she enjoys it and doesn't get too bored.
    Here I go again on my own....
  • :hello: Morning everyone!

    Can anyone tell my why my 9 week old son was wide awake when I tried to get him back to sleep after his 7am feed, but is now sparko in his bouncer downstairs :wall:.

    He woke at 1am last night for the first time in a couple of weeks, stayed awake for an hour, had two feeds then slept till 7 (albeit in our bed), so not all bad.

    Does anyone remember roughly how long it takes to get an answer back from Tax Credits? I sent off our application about a week ago and was just wondering when I should hear, as the figure they gave me on the phone, and the one I got on the entitled website were quite different!

    No plans for today other than to blitz the whole house and get all the washing done. The in-laws are coming tomorrow for the whole bloody day, 10-6. I couldn't stand the thought of being in with them all day, so I've booked a hair apt for 2:45 so I can escape and they can have some quality time with Henry and DH. I cannot wait as my hair is so messy at the moment. I last had it cut 6 weeks before Henry's EDD, so 17 weeks ago :eek: <- that is my hair atm.

    Becles- are you a bit worried Charlotte might blow your cover on the covert audit?!

    I've just been sitting playing with Elijah a bit before I go to the office (he is teething again and woke up at 5 :/ he has been good recently so it's a bit of a shock to the system...).

    He has a little wooden train-set with magnets linking carriages and in each carriage is a different wooden animal.
    He sat there with all the component pieces in front of him, and insistently dragged me down til I had my head at the same level as him. Then he picked up each piece and named it - "TAIN-a". "TAIN-a", "LIA"(lion), "RARF" (giraffe).

    He repeated this for a while til he came to the elephant, which he held up to me and said "TICKABAKATAINACACKBUH" (insert missing confused smiley here). I have no idea what he was communicating to me but he was very excited about the elephant!

    Damn computer,

    I'd quoted some stuff then it crashed and now I've lost it all. :mad:

    Still can't catch up, about 24 hours behind so I'm going to give up and start again, but one of the things I'd quoted was about a 'burping song'.

    What's a Burping Song and how do I do it as I think this could help with evening wind.

    Though, Kezia had Jabs tuesday morning so that could explain some of the grumps but the worst night was Monday night (I've lost hte confused smilie too, what hapened there???)

    Anyway, thanks in advance on any burpy advice. p.s, she seems to have developed a taste for gripe water - possitively slurped it off the spoon monday night :rotfl:

    harley we never had a song, but walking up and down the stairs holding fergie a couple of times always dislodged stubborn burps :)
