    Sami - OMG at poor Sophie!!!! and yes I would be up for a meet at the Lowry on the 7th April! :p


    Feeding - I agree with what MFD wrote in that the women I have met that BF mums do come across as thinking they are better than FF women and it really gets my goat!
    FF is NOT Easy and I think Money Maker & Mel summed it up brilliantly with knowing which teat to use, which milk etc etc. Another point is the hassle with sterilising bottles and the fact that if baby has a growth spurt and wants feeding loads in the night and you run out of bottles you are sterilising and making up feeds at 4am! A lot easier if you can just BF.
    If it wasn't for all of you on here I really would have struggled with feeding J sometimes - you get so much info on BF 'latching', 'positioning' etc and nothing on FF 'when to change teats', 'when to change milk' etc.

    Next time I'm not even going to try BF - due to my surgery it won't happen anyway but even if I hadn't had the surgery I don't want to spend the first 5 days of my baby's life stressing over BF and then cup-feeding formula top ups so that baby doesn't get teat confusion.

    Jillie - Burger King is so wrong! Give me KFC!!!

    Sent OH a very 'deep' text message today as we always argue when we talk so he knows how I feel know so hopefully things will change. BIL is out tomorrow night so it's MY NIGHT and we can cuddle up on the sofa!

    Had the Reggae Reggae Sauce tonight - OMG it is sooooo spicy!!! But OH said it was nice and didn't moan about the chicken :p

    As I'm going to be quite busy soon I'm probably not going to have time to catch up every night so
    if anyone wants me for anything please type 'glam' into your post and I will find it when I come on!

    i kinda posted my 'thoughts' and ran this morning but this what bothers me. no-one tells you ANYTHING with formula/express feeding. you're meant to figure it all out....

    i do lurve ~KFC as well but i prefer BK as i never get one cos the nearest one is about 15 min drive!!! i can have KFC in bury anytime.
    did i tellyou bout the time i was in hospital and i made DH drive to burgerking to get me a whopper cos i had a right craving!! i ate it in the car-park cos you;re not meant to bring food on the ward...

    hope oh is abit more understanding... and i dont want to see you posting tomorrow night if BIL is out!!!

    reggae reggae sauce isnt hot!! have your tastebuds weakened since you had J???

    A bit of light relief, hope it makes some of you giggle

    A far more accurate account of the events of that fateful morning....


    Baby bear goes downstairs, sits in his small chair at the table.
    He looks into his small bowl. It is empty. 'Who's been eating my porridge?'
    he squeaks..

    Daddy Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair. He looks into
    his big bowl and it is also empty. 'Who's been eating my porridge?!?' he
    roars.

    Mummy Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and
    yells, 'For God's sake, how many times do I have to go through this with you
    idiots?
    It was Mummy Bear who got up first. It was Mummy Bear who woke everyone in
    the house. It was Mummy Bear who made the coffee. It was Mummy Bear who
    unloaded the dishwasher from last night and put everything away. It was
    Mummy Bear who swept the floor in the kitchen. It was Mummy Bear who went
    out in the cold early morning air to fetch The newspaper and croissants. It
    was Mummy Bear who set the damn table.

    'It was Mummy Bear who walked the bloody dog, cleaned the cat's litter tray,
    gave them their food, and refilled their water.

    'And now that you've decided to drag your sorry bear-!!!!!! downstairs and
    grace Mummy Bear with your grumpy presence, listen carefully, because I'm
    only going to say this once....
