Oh Sami, 3 and Glam and anyone else who is going can I come on Friday pretty please? Ill be on my best behaviour

I was looking for you last night to see if you were coming on Friday. Mel might be coming too so you can stare enviously at her bump.

A weeks worth of news!

Tara is a Nanny earlier than expected, DGD Poppie has had her operation and is being a strong baby girl.
Mr MFD has been in hospital but is home now. :)
Mr SS is in hospital.
MM has gone back to work.

Ermmm - there must be lots more, someone help!

Elle, I think re-boiling the kettle concentrates something in the water... You should only boil once for making cups of tea too, which is another reason to only fill the kettle with as much as you need...

I've done nothing today... Not even dressed yet! Need to get my backside in gear, my brother and his wife are coming over today...

I have spent hours deliberating on whether to post this or not but I think I need to for two reasons - to explain my crabbiness yesterday and also to get it off my chest. I was crying at 3am this morning and I'm getting upset even writing this little bit! I am a very strong person who rarely gets upset over things - I've only cried twice since having Jack and once was OH's fault. I didn't think it affected me that much but considering I've thought of nothing else since Sunday and the tears rolling down my face right now show that it obviously has affected me.

Thanks to the delightful 'other' thread I now feel like a bag of !!!!!!. I cried at 3am because I was giving Jack a bottle of formula something I've been doing for months. It never really bothered me before as I knew I was doing what I had to do but due to the comments made and the stupid website links that I clicked on I know feel like I shouldn't have had my surgery, that I was selfish for putting my own needs before those of any children I might decide to have in the future and that I am now a bad mum because what I feed my child is inferior. I can't get that word out of my head 'inferior'

Feelie - I know you were hurt and upset by what Em wrote but you don't realise how much you have hurt and upset ME by your constant 'any one can BF with the right help' attitude. I couldn't BF and am upset by it so I can't begin to wonder how upset those people are that could BF initially and then stopped.

I'm not looking for sympathy or anything I just wanted to get it off my chest otherwise it will keep rolling around and around in my head.

Right, my crying has now woken my little man up so I better get him dressed

oh glam, i dunno what to say ((((hugs))))) please please please try and ignore what was posted. Jack is a credit to you.

i was extremely angry yesterday about what was posted regarding the whole bf/ff debate. i typed up a quite strongly worded post but didnt post it..maybe i should have
none of us should be feeling guilty at all for using formula.
its great that people fing BF a breeze or after a bit of a struggle but we dont need that shoved in our faces all the time.
just because you b/fed doesnt mean you are any better a parent than those of us who didnt. even people who were b/fed turn into horrible people.

people need to remember that not all of us wanted to use formula but unfortunately due to medical reasons had to!

i'm sure Kian would rather have his mummy than no mummy because she wanted to breastfeed so much she didnt take her medication.

Absolutely agree and very well put.

there are micro-organisms in water that when it is cooled down after being boiled multiply so if use re-boil water and use it you introduce these to the milk.

also powder isnt sterile.
