    Another question, not sure where to put it on the forum (so let me know if there is a better place to put it), where can I get some simple slow cooker recipes? I was thinking it might be easier for me, to prepare stuff earlier as T generally is hungry 4/5 o clock so I can't leave things boiling just in case.
    There are loads of slow cooker recipes on the oldstyle board - otherwise use normal recipes but remember that a slow cooker needs less cooking sauce as nothing evaporates!


    Morning all,

    Big hugs to Becles, I really hope you get the support you deserve

    Hugs and good vibes to Poppie

    oh stop it.. I might blush... I've not achieved so much as half a star in the last 3 months lol


    I did join back in June when I was pg but I think I only managed all 5 stars because I was on holiday! Once I was back at work it all went downhill!

    I have been up with the housework the last couple of weeks though and quite often have a crazy 10min benny hill session of tidying :)

  • Hi Glam,
    What time is meet today? :) Want to be there - could do with getting out :o but I just got a text message from school saying assembly is on this morning and to be there for 10am :mad: I love the amount of notice we are given! Cant really miss it either seeing as I had to miss the last one.
    Sorry about your bad night mine went something like that too. Didnt actually have a constant hours sleep :(

    It's 12 til 2 at Jellybeans in town

    I think I was up at 12am, 2.45am (brought him in our bed), 4.45am (put him back in his bed), 5.15am, 6.30am (brought him back in our bed as OH was getting up). He woke at 8am and downed a 7oz bottle - first time for a long time!

    Hopefully see you later - off to get showered and ready now got a few things to get on with this morning but no doubt I'll drift back on here!

    I think babies screw it all up for at least 6 months anyway.. I could never get a thing done until then it is just a constant round of feeding, nappies and washing!!

  • morning,

    ellis has been the same jillie, he was waking every hour through the night coughing for a few nights. took him to the docs yesterday an he has given him antibiotics, paracetamol and saline nose drops, he slept much better last night after just 3 doses of antibiotics. now i feel guilty for not taking him to the docs sooner.

    Will see how I can manage and try and get it done. It would be a shame if I had to give up or delay things as I want to finish in Oct. Results would be in mid-Dec and my Mam's 60th is on the 19th and I'd really like to annouce passing by signing my name with BA Hons after it in her birthday card. That thought has kept me going for a long time.
    This made me well up! Fingers crossed you can do it, does Craig understand how important it is to you? I'm sure if he did/does he won't mind doing more at home to help (and if he doesn't I think you should shove a broom/mop up his bum!) :rotfl:just give him direct 'orders' Matt has trouble if I ask him to help more but is good if I say I need you to do the dishes this week.

    Both being pulled over AND having to stop on the bridge


    Sami - Pigpen is also THE flylady. How do you do it?!!

    Another poor night in chez glam, he wasn't hungry but woke up 4 times. Each time I went in he had rolled onto his back so perhaps thats what woke him*shrugs*

    busy day today! Sami - what time u gonna get there?
    I don't think I'd stop :o I'd have to keep going until on land!

    pants sleep for me as always we'll be the grumpy mum's with massive eye luggage at the slingy today :p
    be 12-12:30 for me, you know I'm always late! :D
