    Lol at kitchen mess! He moans at me because I use every pot and utensil when making anything - I manage to use the whole drawer of teaspoons in a day. He can't understand why I don't just use one and rinse it every time!

    Maz - DH isn't normally a mushy kind of bloke. I was glad he said it though as we've only had 'relations' (TMI) twice since Caitlyn was born and sometimes I feel a bit guilty.

    Glad I'm not the only one, although I haven't done it yet so I'm worse. I just don't have any desire to do it :o

    Evening all,

    Congtrats SM on becoming an auntie again!

    MFD - My benefits are pretty good (Civil Service), and if you have a sick child, you are allowed 1 day paid which is supposed to be to arrange childcare for the child. If you need to take longer then it would either be annual leave, unpaid, or pretend you are sick yourself and therefore receive full pay (but p*** everyone else off who don't have kids and have to cover for you!)

    Csh - Please don't iron too much on my account. I have to ask DH where the iron is when I want to use it (once a year when we are packing for holidays!). Holly will look like a little scruff lol.

    I am sure I had more to say, but can't remember.

    Went looking at highchairs today. Thought the Ikea one was ok for a slightly older child, but not sure I would feel comfortable leaving H sitting in it as it doesn't have a 5 point harness. Think we might get one to have at my parents' house and get a different one for us. Not sure what though. Need to go and try out some more I think.

    Night MM

    Sorry I forgot to say congrats SM on becoming an aunty!!

    jennynoo - I have no desire either. I'm ok once I'm in the mood, but it's feeling that way in the first place that seems to have by-passed me for a while :o Plus Caitlyn is currently co-sleeping with us so won't be happening in the bedroom anyway!

    Em, are you still here? Did my earlier answer make sense? :) How's Seth now? xx
    Thank you, it made perfect sense! I've never taken anything off for Seth before, and given that this is the first year they've introduced the £250 a year bonus for no sick days I'll be very very annoyed if they try and put me down as sick for it. Ideally I'd take it as hol, they let me carry over 8 days from last year and I only work 3 days a week, so thats nearly an extra 3 weeks on top of the 4.5 weeks I already get :o

    Seth is much better now, not ill at all within himself and eating well, but I am still a bit worried about the poop cos it still seems a bit runny compared to normal. TMI alert but its normally nuggets like normal poo, but is now a similar texture to porridge like early weaning poop, so I am going to send him to the CM tomorrow and hope she doesnt deem it to still be dodgy and ask me to go back and pick him up :o we had another breach this afternoon though apparantly so god knows! I think its cos he hasnt got his appetite back yet and is only eating half meals, so is having more milk on a food:milk ratio IYSWIM? I hope the CM sees it that way anyway :o

    When is it you actually go back to work Elle?
