    Random Qu now, How many of you are the same age as your partner?

    My parents were both born 1956, ILs 1960, OH and I 1985, My sister ruins it a bit because her OH is18mths older than her :naughty:

    Both born 1969 here :wave: "That was the summer of '69 ...." :dance:

    He actually paid for two years of counselling, so I'd say he was committed to change!

    My parents both 1951, IL's both 1961, Me 1971 and OH 1980:eek:. (But i'm mentally younger than him :p)
    I'm a little gutted that R wasn't born in 1981 just so it was a nice pattern :o
    Ive never tried medised to help the littel ones sleep will have to get some and see if it helps on occasion. Doctors used to give me something called Phenergan its a sedative/ travel sickness medicine they used to prescribe it whenever they were ill so they would sleep better not sure if you can use it on young babaies though :-)
    That is what's in medised, it used to be for 12mth+ IIRC, then it changed to 2y+ but now it's 6y+

  • I was born 1979, Hubby 1980... My parents were '58 & '59... FIL was '59 and MIL I neither know nor care...

    My aunt was 38 when she had her first, 42 when she had her second and is 48 now... Her hubby is 51 and already has adult children and 1 grandchild and another on the way... I never think of her as so much older than me though, our children are the same age (her youngest, my oldest) so we kind of have the same views...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Morning all,

    Plans for a whole day to myself have completely been knocked on the head due to me falling back to sleep this morning - woke up at half six and was intending to get up but then fell asleep again until 11am :o:( All seems too much hassle to get Rhys to Mum's (where the dog is running riot chasing the bloke who's taking down a tree in their garden) for all of a few hours so decided he's staying here with me :o Did really want to get some stuff done but it'll have to wait :( Instead, FIL has been in touch and he's calling round later :cool:
    My parents 1961 & 1963, IL's 1953 & 1944, me 1983, OH 1979

    Ya know, it dawned on me the other week that I didn't know how old you were. You're only nine months older than me but I thought it was more (on account of you having Charlie, I think). I am really struggling with the fact I'm 26 next week and don't feel in the slightest bit "grown up" :o I guess I have all the grown up things (baby, house, car, job etc etc) but just don't feel it.. :cool:

    And another cheeky favour from a weezl, sorry about this guys, I will come back and be proper friendly again soon!

    Does anyone know (or feel able to do a bit of geeky research for me) about iron levels for an 11-12 month old boy (susan, sami, SS? ;))

    DH is worried about fergie making a switch to cow's milk until we know fergie has enough iron every day, and I can't wrap my brain round it!

    What does he need daily as iron consumption and how far does a weetabix a day (cos they're iron fortified) go towards meeting it?

    TIA
