Sorry, I've been very selfish...

*HUGE HUGS* to Jillie, Sami and all concerned

*GET STRONG VIBES* for Poppie Tara, Rhys ended up anemic. He had quite a few transfusions because of it. He's still on liquid iron now, a lot of premmie babies I know of are

The "play specialist" got here minutes late then said she didn't have the scales with her (despite promising several times she would). She offered to go get them so I said yes! She's got another app at get to for 4pm so she won't have time to play much... ah well, think we'll cope!

Big huge *get better soon vibes* to Taras DGD xx

Sami, we don't really eat anything like that, but the kids do like a fried egg with runny yolk and have done since about 1year old or so. They like steaks medium, pink, no blood. I however have just discovered the yummyness that is a bloody steak! OMG yummmm!!!!

Amber is on her mats trying to roll about and get toys, mummy is =being bad by not getting her toys when she looks at me and goes 'aaaaaaa waaaa heh heh heh!'.

SS, the alphabet ones pop out regardless of floor evenness! It's just 4 squares we have. Got them for DS2 to do his physio on from ELC. http://www.elc.co.uk/toy/recreation-mats-x4/ But you can get them cheaper elsewhere, infact you can get like 3 packs for that price! And ebay usually have loads too.

But he is a little bit mad! Now, is that hereditary madness or too much raw british beef?

Edgar keeps giving me electric shocks, commando crawling obviously builds a lot of static

:eek: turns out we're prolly eligible for CTC at £21/wk! I had no idea, thought we made too much money! I don't suppose they back-date like Child Benefit, do they?

jillie1974

yep they do! for 3 months

tiamai_d

Aless they do!

I found out we are entitled to 50% off our council tax, not a third! I'm going to fight to get it backdated because I have called and asked several times and been told no, but the calculator the have online now says yes.

tax credits are usually backdated to the Monday after you first applied

Battery hens are vaccinated against salmonella usually so the cheapy (no that was not a pun!) eggs are fine too.. I'd reckon the organic free range are probably not ok if anything will have bacteria it will be those!

Tara.. prem babies regularly have apnoea.. they just forget to breathe. They are also often anaemic because they haven't built up the iron store which is normally laid down in the last 4-5 weeks of pregnancy so unless they are having formula which has extra iron they are usually given iron supplements from about 7 days old.. have the hospital been lapse in another area?? If she hasn't got a high temp she shouldn't have AB's because it is most likely a virus and AB's will just wipe out her immune system leaving her susceptible to other stuff.. I hate the way AB's are dished out like sweets!... Anyway.. hope P is on the mend soon xx (I've had 6 prem babies)
