beenie - she looks like she's really lovin her L&G am so tempted to keep an eye out for one after all the recomendations on here but no idea where we would put it!

the L&G is collapsable but ours is in the kitchen near the drier as K likes to watch the drier and he can see the waher as well lol!! and was the perfect space lol!! but if needed it will fit under the kitchen table when not in use.

if it was in the sitting room would overpower everything else

Jam - what !!!!!! news for you, big hugs.

Sami - is that Ed or Chris in your avvy?

Caz - gentle hugs coming your way

Loving the pics of Guy, Amber & Henry!

Not caught up properly just kinda skimmed. Had a nice day today, was nice to have a break from Mystery shopping and just relax. Got Jack weighed and he is 17lb 10oz - thought he would be more but still just above the 25th centile.

The HV is doing a referral to the teams nursery nurses to see if they can help me with getting Jack to start sleep better.
I've not said much but nights are horrendous here. He cries in his sleep throughout the evening - proper screams but I don't need to go in, then he wakes around 11pm but tends to go back off with dummy and lullabies but he'll wake again anytime after that and is wide awake and will only go back to sleep in our bed. I spent an hour last night trying to get him to sleep in his room but no joy
I have asked for the nursery nurse that does tiny stars as we both know her already.

I think it might be partly due to our lack of routine and the fact that he eats a lot in a short space of time (dinner 1pm, bottle 4pm, tea 6pm, bottle 7.30pm) and it might sit heavy on him when he's sleeping so today I've moved it all about so dinner at 12pm, bottle at 3pm, tea at 5.30pm and bottle at 8pm. From tomorrow I WILL start getting up at 7am with him and making him start the day then, hopefully it will help. Oh and I forced him to have 3 decent naps as well today - 2 x 1hour and a 30min nap.

Just sitting down to munch my last easter egg

i would still speak to ACAS to make sure there is nothing they have done wrong.

jillie1974

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+:(

Aw Mel, bless him! My OH is totally unromantic, but he will suprise me now and again and its always nice.

Will you be able to fake surprise? I'm rubbish. :rotfl:

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!

I believe in flat coke - but I think it needs to be proper coke, not diet. It seems to settle the tum, plus giving some sugar. (Hopefully not so much that he's bouncing off the walls!)

In my old party animal days, I used to pour a pint of coke when I got home, to drink flat in the morning. An excellent hangover cure.


V hasn't been sick today, :T had some beans & banana (not together) for tea, stole a couple of chips from Daddy, and has had half a bottle and gone to bed.

I hope we're over it now, and hope all the other poorly ones are over it as quick as us.
