    I still haven't figured out what's best to do about DS birthday next week...

    I know i'll be getting him a bigger bike, but i want to try him out on an 18 and a 20 although i'm pretty sure he'll need the 18... But he doesn't know he's getting a bike yet and i've not managed to discreetly happen to pop in Halfords with him :huh:
    So i dunno whether to just go for it and have it as a surprise, or what??

    It's on a Monday too so he'll be at school all day

    I have rare blood :cool:
    AB Positive

    I'll try and give blood before I get my tatt done as that will be another year to wait!

    Had a nightmare getting J off to sleep tonight - have put his duvet over him tonight in an effort to see if that helps. *Shrugs* :o

    Can you not put him on a friends bike Beenie, or do his inside leg measurement?
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    Ahh i never thought about the inside leg... Good one :D I'll do that and choose it myself.
    Is it a bit cak though that on the Monday morning i'll be like, ta-da! new bike! Right cmon then time for school...! I'm gonna have to get him up early so he can try it out, he's a proper lazy bones.

    It's the first time i've not had anything planned for him, so i'm feeling well guilty. I'm gonna take him somewhere for tea and a play after school though. I never got parties EVER! when i was a kid, so why do i feel so bad that he's not getting one for ONE year?!!

    I don't think so, the last 2 nights he's just had 2 thin blankets and still the same.
    He'll sleep in our bed under the duvet fine.

    Had to shower him off before bed - he puked then poo'd. It was easier than using wipes! :o We've been getting 2 poo's a day since we started the follow on milk, surprised as the Comfort milk is supposed to help with Constipation :confused:

    Do you know if there is a Frankie & Benny's at the TC?

    I thought there was one outside but my friend says there isn't.

    yes its outside the orient area. unless you know its there, you miss it.

    i keep thinking of things that might help J sleep better for you. :)

    I knew it :j

    Aw thanks! I've been referred to the nursery nurses attached to the HV's so have Wendy coming out next week (she takes our tiny stars) to go through a 'package of care'
    I think the main thing I need to remember is to try something and stick with it for a week - you know like I was telling kindof :o

    The follow on milk is producing more poo's so may eliminate any tummy problems - she hopes!

    Speaking of poo, Amber has been pooing LOADS since i gave her a carton of formula 2 nights in a row. And this morning she done one that even DS went green at, and he usually asks for a look at the nappy :rotfl: (yes i have a strange [STRIKE]minging[/STRIKE] son :D)

    Kindof, there's quite a few character differences and season 2 plotline is loads different to the book... You should definitely read them if you have them!

    Ah cool thanks, I think I will read them (if I get time lol)

    Glam - ah right cool, so it is cos of the milk he stinks lol, he pumped today at the weigh in and the HV could not believe the smell lol

    (((hugs))) SM I hope you get the extra work your looking for xx

    We've just been to asda and got some size 3 nappies (a big box) and 2 boxes of the 6 packs of johnsons wipes I might have bought 8 bottles of bulmers and some little bottles of french lager lol

    We had to give away 2 and a half packs of size 1's cos he's too big lol

    (((hugs))) Tara I always wanted a daddy to :( my mam is amazing and is both my mam and dad but sometimes I would love to have a dad

    Ah well NID we arent high earners then

    BM why are you opposed to ID cards? not trying to start an argument here, but I see nothing wrong in them, I have nothing to hide so wouldnt mind having one (I am not implying you do lol)

    MFD me too lol although I want Nissan Navara Pick Up Truck, OH is used to driving 4x4's but we had to sell them when we wanted to buy the house, ohhh or I would want a black shiny Range Rover, in 6 years we wont have any loans or cc's (hopefullyon the cc's) then I reckon I want to buy a Range Rover or the truck lol

    Hi Jolene and congrats I hope you are feeling better lol xx

    We are having a nightmare there at the minute, Elliot has been crying for 2 hours, he is so tired out but wont be put is his basket and wont fall asleep on us, we dont know what to do with him :(

    Ok I had to leave lol, we had to take himout in the pram, weve just managed to get him in his sleeping bag and in his basket hopefully he will sleep a while, he's been awake from 7am till 10am and then from 3pm till half 8 and thats too long for him, he must be wrecked, but his last feed was at half 7 so I reckon he will wake up just as I fall asleep probably lol

    Ignore this, again this is for me to know where Ive read up to lol page 719
