    I'm not going back 'till August but need to do something before then. The money will also come in handy!

    How does pay for KIT days work? Or does it depend on company? I know my materniy info says I can do up to 10 but doesn't mention pay, and manager seemed to think there was no extra pay but didn't investigate

    AFAIK it would be your normal rate of pay? It doesn't affect your SMP I know that much and its certainly not for no pay but other than that I don't know lol Our company 'doesn't do' KIT and its not worth the hassle for me.

    ...

    If you had workmen in the house, would you go out?
    I want to go for a walk, we're getting cabin fever and it's a gorgeous day. But I don't think they'll be finished til late afternoon. They're just finishing off the upstairs windows now, and have 4 bigger downstairs ones to do yet.
    ermm, do you trust them? If you do and you think V will be ok then I would go for a lil walk, fresh air might do her some good :)

    3 - I meant to say I'd probably go out for a little while rather than stay cooped up I normally leave workmen in the house alone. Mind you, that might be because I have nothing of any value that might go missing!

    The snooze shade is a lol like a blackout blind for your pushchair, I only know about it cos the lady who designed it tested it out where I work and asked us for comments.

    NMaz, I take it your BF? have you tried feeding lying down? Ed went through a similar phase and I just lay on a towel with him at my side so he could feed whenever and at some point I'd wake in the night so would swap sides. it didn't last 'that' long maybe 2 weeks at most :undecided

    KIT days I think you get your usual ammount for the day, so it's best to take them during the unpaid bit

    cannot get him to keep water down at all phoned doc who said to phone HV, mine is on holiday so have to phone another surgery! she said if he is not dehydrated then not to worry too much??? he looks awful his eyes are sunken and dark and he has not even peed all day? have phoned OH to come home now.

    Aww Caz! When did he last keep anything down? V wasn't keeping water down, but that was only through Sunday night. She's kept water down since yesterday morning, except for when I tried to trick her with dioralyte, and calpol!

    And I quoted Boo but it didn't work.


    Hmmm - I don't know them, but they look alright! :o
    OH is a big paranoid security freak and doesn't trust anyone! But the smell of the window sealant is starting to annoy me now, and I need to go to the post office.
