    :rotfl: I'm just entering some competitions online in the vain hope that I may win something and came across this:

    Fancy a month of shopping on us? We’ve got £500 worth of Morrisons vouchers to giveaway to one lucky winner – that’s your weekly shop covered for four weeks!

    £500 for a month's shopping??? That would do me more like three months!

    Report from hubby is that his epidural is going to be in until Monday. Which means he will probably be coming home on Tuesday all being well. Typically I have a meeting in Warrington on Tuesday that I can't cancel so will have to arrange for somebody else to pick him up. He also text before to say that they have bizarrely shaved the top of his left leg :D

    yay that he'll be home on tuesday, but boo you wont be there...just typical as you say.

    hmmm...strange place to shave. did they have to tape anything i wonder to that spot?

    He can cook but hasn't done since OH started working!
    I could murder a chinese or Indian but never ever offers! :( I cook 7 days days a week.

    OH was funny the other day, moaning that the living room was a mess. I lost my rag and asked him if he realised that whilst Yes it was a mess, I had cleaned the bathroom, downstairs loo and kitchen (including floors) hoovered, polished and done 2 loads of washing all while looking after Jack. He soon shut up - seems they don't notice when everything is tidy but not when it's a mess!

    You need to drop some massive hints about the takeaway.

    Poor you, you do so much. I think you need some kind of rota in your house so you, OH and BIL all do things.

    Jam - is the pool quite echoy? It was that combined with the dryers that freaked her out.

    (I was changing her nappy in a public toilet and someone activated the dryer and she had a complete meltdown, she was only 11 weeks)

    i used to 'buy in' too when it was new flavours that we were trying. then when LO got sick and went off food, i was making things from scratch and she was turning her nose up. tried buying in again, and she did the same (confused smiley)

    had a bit of success tonight though. i cut up a bit of a banana into little cubes and fed them to her as she was moving around from toy to toy. she ate all that i had cut up. i then made her half a slice of bed with some philly cream cheese, cut that up and feed her and she ate nearly all of that.

    she's normally only happy if she can feed herself but she doesn't like being in the highchair so things can get messy.

    a middle ground perhaps.

    LOL when I picked Benjamin up from the CM today she asked me if I would mind her stopping with the finger foods for a while and just spoon feeding (they have a spoon each) because Benjamin won't eat finger foods for her and she worried that he is not eating enough. If she spoon feeds him he eats really well.

    I couldn't help laughing - he won't spoon feed with me for toffee!! He will have a little bit and then spits it out! I always have to make sure I have things he can feed himself!!

    So CM asked if I want her to persevere if he is 'trying it on already' (her words LOL!) I said she should go with the flow and do whatever she feels best. As long as he is fed then I don't much care!! He is learning both skills so I am not bothered at all.

    Glam - when you say he's a bit unsettled, C screams as soon as I put her down if shes awake. I sit with her and she usually drops off after 5-15 mins screaming but sometimes it can be half an hour. I hate it but as soon as I pick her up, she stops then starts again the second she is an inch from the mattress. It can only be for attention and I just hope she learns it's ok to go to sleep by herself, even if I have to sit there while she does it for the time being. Have I just got a clingy one (prob my 'fault' :-))

    Must go to proper reply so I get smilies!

    ETA I hate being at the top of the page, I feel all embarrassed!

    Have you tried laying her in the cot and then putting your face down near hers? You are quite tall aren't you? Because I am tall I can bend over the cot and kiss Benjamins face (and his eyes to close them LOL) and this makes life easier sometimes! Wait until she is doing the standing at the end of the cot and sobbing with tears and snot rolling like there is no tomorrow :rotfl:

    Sorry, not meaning to make fun but sleeping is harder than feeding IMHO!! There are certainly plenty on here who have gone through the mill WRT sleeping xx



    AF - I asked if it was where they put the garter when they made him do operating theatre can-can whilst he was under :rotfl:

    isn't it amazing how they do things for one and not the other. we have little things too that LO will not do for me that she will do for MIL.

    now, that rendition of the can can would be good to watch :D
