Seems a bit extreme to put him upstairs in his cot everytime I need to use the loo as the loo is downstairs

you are an awkward Annie aren't you
tbh I'd just leave him on the floor and go the loo

SB I was think about you this morning. Have you been to the Bug Experience at the Albert Dock? We're thinking of going tomorrow but wanted to know if it was worth it. I know the babies won't care probably, but will have Liv, and my friends older boy 3.

Not sure, CBA with the maths but remember the JL vouchers are still 'money' so its not technically a bargain IYKWIM?? Yes, you are spending less cash money but its still costing you the full amount!

really good point. The vouchers were a present but I know they would be happily used on other things in a heartbeat! the more i think of it it's a very good point....

Sami What does Tara's book tell you to do?

Speaking of Tara - has anyone heard from her? Is she still having internet problems?

erm here's a brief overview http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/how-to-conceive-a-girl.html
basically it works on the prinicpal that girl sperms are like long distance runners and boy sperms are sprinters so you need to get jiggy at the right time

r.mac I'd go for the cheapest price, which I think is the mothercare one?
does the cup you bought have a valve? I got Chris a TT straw cup that had a valve which you had to bite down on - me no likey that so I cut it out with nail scissors

Yes!

Its not just the loo though, because he doesn't nap for more than 20 mins it feels like I'm on red alert all day! I still have breakfast/lunch/dinner to make washing to do etc and he cannot be trusted on his own lol Before he would just chum me round in his bouncy chair but hes too big for that now.
Also OH goes to work at 6.15am and gets home at 7.30pm so I can't even get a wee break to do ironing (LOL) or that at 5 o'clock:rotfl:

That women from netmums messaged me back and won't take less than £40 for the L&G, that'll be why you've still got it after a fortnight love!

ooh 3 I was thinking of going to the new wallace n gromit thing at the docks once the school hols are finished, if you go there too let me know if it's good!

MIL went to the bug place with her best mate and her 8 (?) year old and he LOVED it

Hi,
Can anyone help please? Did anyone have any issues with older children just before their babies were born? The reason I am asking is that my 4 year old is very excited about the baby coming next week, but she has started acting a bit out of character. She's normally a bit of a handful - loads of energy, but she's not normally destructive. Monday morning I woke up to find her in the bathroom and she had got nail varnish, mixed with various creams that she found and spread the goo all over the bathroom. When we asked her why she did it, she said because 'no one was looking!'
I'm convinced this behaviour is down to feeling insecure with the baby about to arrive, but I'm not really sure the best way to handle it. We tried to treat it as normal 'naughty' behaviour, because I don't want her to think she can get away with misbehaving, but I really feel for her, and I'm not sure what to do for the best - does anyone have any suggestions?

I've yet to meet a child that hasn't gone through the 'potion' phase! It may not be connected to new bubba

Nope K is 6 months tomorrow. No offence taken just feel like what I asked has been taken out of context a bit.

woaw. I reall misread your signature, or maybe i glanced at someone elses by accident....doh. sorry!!

Im not sure what else to suggest; playpen, setting him in the buggy/pram for 2 mins if its handy, by babycage were u referring to a baby walker!? With Katie, I had a massive ring that I was able to put in the living room and put some toys in to keep er interested for a while until i did washing etc.

Sorry rmac; i would be exactly like you with not knowing which way to choose to purchase it!! Indecisive is me.
