Susan I seem to type official letters, but hand write letters or cards to family/friends.
I was thinking last week about pen pals. You never hear of children having them anymore - but if they did they'd be more likely to be email pals!

The boys have had penpals organised though school. They have been writing to some children in Co Clare, Ireland and a group came over here before the Easter hols. Some of the children in our school are going over there in June. James isn't as it was too expensive and it's the day after we come back

I try and get the boys to write letters to say thank you for birthday and Christmas gifts but they don't like doing it. They prefer phoning people to say thanks or sending thank you emails instead.

Been to Craig's grandparents this morning and she's bought me an Easter Egg as well. I've not been bought an Easter Egg for years, so I'm chuffed to bits

Afternoon,

I've had Katie at the Out of Hours GP this morning as she was burning up, still very drowsy and saying light hurt her eyes.

They couldn't find anything but just to keep her fluid levels up and dose her with Calpol every 4 hours. Feed her if she wants food. I'm also need to take a wee sample to our docs in the morning to check for a UTI.

She did have a burst of energy before and has eaten a little bit but she's flopped again now, she is due her next dose of calpol.

Grrrrrrrr at cross OH in the night, mine used to wake up just to make sure I didn't fall asleep whilst I was feeding her.

EA - Lilly is beautiful.

ooohhhh YEAH Aimee

Jasmines homework is 10 spellings and sums a week and a book every 2 nights ... nothing else at all !! They have specified computer time in class, but all their written work is written.

I'm crafty too, so maybe that is it !! Although I gave up on my cards ... no one appreciated the time that went into them and I gave up caring !! Just do my scrapbooking now The kids will probably hate me for it when they are older, as I scrapbook EVERYTHING !!!

Aimee's homework is her stage words (think there's about 15 of them at the level she's on) 2 reading books during the week and on a Friday she gets given 2 worksheets that are due in on the Wednesday of the following week, although I try to get them done for a Monday morning because there never seems to be enough time during the week nights...

I haven't done any scrapbooking yet... I struggle finding the time... I got a sewing machine for christmas and haven't actually done anything with it yet...

My husband let me lie in until 12 today! :eek: Have a wicked headache now though lol... He's gone off to town now and left me with the baby... I wish he'd taken her with him though, she keeps shrieking... And I really need to do some cleaning... Hey ho...

How lucky are you ladies getting a lie in! my alarm went off this morning as i forgot to turn it off and i have been up eversince!

Afternoon all... I got a lie in until 8am, but only because we were up most of the night. Lots of hard work done at the allotment this morning, and now we are running riot at the in laws. She won't eat anything except for chocolate or whatever daddy is eating today. Which would be fine except he is only eating crisps. Better than nothing I sppose!

tiamai_d

Hoovering, dishes and a general tidy up done. It's like a losing battle with the boys though. :coffee: time

Som- That was always my problem, I have a cast iron stomach and *touch wood* never suffer with heartburn/ indigestion etc so made it tricky to work out what was causing it. I figured it must be onion in the end, but we literally have onion in every meal, so I just tried to make sure it was well cooked and stuck with my lengthy winding routine!

I'm sure it was all a ploy to make sure I held her upright instead of laying her down! She even had to sit up in her buggy from about 9 weeks old- literally would not lie flat, she would be craning her head up to see what was going on. Nosy like mummy

I think its important to remember in newborns that their insides are still very immature, so even if something you eat affects them now... In a week or so they are better developed to be dealing with things so it might not have the same effect again...

Sometimes squash/cordial can have a windy effect too... Caz you had an improvement with Erin when you cut it out didn't you?

I'm not Caz, but I'll agree that squah can have an effect: it's the one thing that I haven't been able to have while bf. Elena used to be a little sick after each feed, and it wasn't until I smelt her breath once and it smelt just like orange squash that I realised what must have caused it! I was drinking it really diluted too... cut it out, and didn't have any further problems
