Sorry Sami, I did see! Umm, the only place I know you can buy them is in store although I'm sure loads come up on eBay. You should ask at your local one cos if they're anything like my store they will have a stack of previous CDs in the office! If I was at work I would try and track one down for you.

Ooooh I forgot to say earlier, the garage bloke came to collect our broken car today:), just as he arrived and dh went off to lead him the way to where it was abandoned, the post came. The booking confirmation for our Lodge was amonst the letters (in dh's name) so I opened it to check it was all right and he has only gone and booked the Champagne and Chocolate package as a surprise for me....well it must be a surprise because he hasn't mentioned it. I realised that maybe I shouldn't have opened it and pritt sticked the envelope closed:o, which thankfully dried before he got back!!!!

I gave it him all innocent like, and after he had opened it I enquired as to whether it all look right and as it should.....he just said yep, perfect. Still mentioned nothing about the little extra, so now I will have to be all surprised when we get there.....

This probably seems trivial to some of you who have lovely romantic husbands/partners, but this is the first time he has done anything like this in the last (maybe) 9yrs+:(

Aww Mel that's lovely.

I want to give massive hugs and praise to all you mummies with colicky babies. Molly's finally gone to bed after screaming solidly for an hour and a half, I've been pacing with her and singing nonstop because every time I paused she'd get louder. I was running out of inner resources - I don't know how you ladies do it but you're rock stars.

cazscoob

awww Mel thats so nice! its the little things like that that count! even if its once in a blue moon its still lovely when they do something on the spur of the moment:D

Still no improvement here Just stuck him in the kitchen sink to wash him and he wouldnt get out lol! he is desperate for a bottle to go to bed and i feel awful having to say no. Does the flat coke work? im willing to give anything a go!

got-it-spend-it

Anyone watching Holby? Wish I looked like Chrissie post c-section! Ha ha, she just rolled in bed from one side to the other. I couldn't do that for about a month after I had H!

Caz- the flat coke would at least get some sugar into him. Might be worth a try if you have some.

I'm organising a fundraising raffle for our local NCT branch. Anyone got any bright ideas on prizes that are a bit different? They need to be blaggable, but I don't want to just do the usual crap!

Evening everyone, hope everyones had a good day?

good luck tomorrow sm,

jam sorry about the job, i was made redundant as i was about to leave on maternity and without going into details i know it was because i was leaving for my mat leave, simple fact was if i hadnt been pregnant id still have a job, and from what you say if you hadnt have been on mat leave, they wouldnt have realised they 'could do without you', they've probably put their foot in it by saying that but the thing is it would be hard to prove they have discriminated against you which is why i didnt bother taking it further, if you do though from what i researched at the time to take to a tribunal you have to appeal the redundancy decision (this might not be true dont hold me to it lol) and then go from there.

caz has he not kept anything down still? id be tempted to take him in if i was you, i had to take jake in hosp and get a drip put in once cos i was even syringing water and was coming straight back up and he was just falling asleep all over the place,

hope everyone else is ok? xx

Hi all. Me again, just catching up since this morning, thank you for all the replies reassuring me that t feeding during the night is normal and that some of your babies are still too. It really helps as I keep reading them out to DH to reassure him too, as in RL no one seems to understand!!

Just put t to bed in his cot now so fingers crossed for a good nite!! Hope u r all well, I will try and post again once Ive caught up and know whats going on!! xx

Evening ladies,

Hugs for all sicky babies. Katie had a persistant dry tickly cough keeping her awake so I've just made her a honey and lemon drink which seems to have worked, DH just settling her now. She was pulling some interesting faces drinking it.

One of her birthday presents that I ordered from Amazon arrived today so as least she has something to open from Mummy and Daddy tomorrow.

Jam - ((hugs))

Mel - that's lovely.

FBB - Katie got into bed with me about 1.30am this morning and latched on everytime she she coughed as it calmed her throat, my lifesaver is feeding lying down.
