    This Hannah Montana song on Keira's microphone is doing my head in *SCREAM*

    You can change your hair and you can change your clothes - APPARENTLY?!!

    Doesn't help she is walking round the house screaming it at the top of her lungs (v loud she is, like a banshee shouting through a traffic cone)

    Can't believe she is 4 next week :eek: Taking her out for her birthday, but present wise, I'm a bit stuck! Going to order the Giselle dress, from Enchanted, Minnie mouse dress, and maybe a little make up set that I'll do myself, nail varnishes, 'lips' as she calls it and maybe some hair things.

    Though speaking of hair, I'm at a loss as to what to get done to her fringe, it's practically at her chin and doesn't sit at the side right. Think we'll go for a shorter feathered fringe? Nothing that makes her moon face look moonier though :rotfl:

    I don't agree with benefits for single parents, when the absent parent doesn't pay maintaince.

    !!!!!! so if you have a poor woman who's ex doesnt help pay the way for the children, you then think the poor woman should be "punished" further by not being entitled to any benefits?

    I dont think your attitude is nice at all.

    I am from a single parent family, my mam worked 3 jobs to pay the way for me and my brother, but we lived on a housing estate (had to sell our private house as a result of my "dads" gambling) that certainly does not make us any less of a person than you.

    Ive no idea what class I am, I work full time (will be going part time) and OH works full time, we own (mortgaged) our own home, but I certainly dont think I am better than anyone who has less than me!

    I realise this convo was hours ago, but you !!!!ed me off so I am replying now.

    Fishcake thats about what Elliot eats, he is half an ounce lighter than at birth and the HV said that he was doing fine. I am sure she is ok

    Fair enough, Lily sounds adorable! ? I miss the nuzzling baby stage! I love reading about Lily on FB.

    Thanks :D She is currently asleep buried in my chest. I love this hug :D

    When she sleeps like this she tucks her feet up and they are always twisted. Im constanly having to straighten them out! Surely she'll get foot cramp?? :rotfl:

    Fishcake - As long as Anya is happy and healthy, having wet & dirty nappys and is alert then she's fine. Trust YOUR instincts. If you think something is wrong then seek help/advice. But if you think she's fine then she most probably fine!
    Us mummys have magic powers in knowing when baby is unwell :D:D

    Unless your paranoid like me and call the maternity unit or my mum everytime Lily does something that im not sure about :o:o

    I don't. I am not here to judge anybody and I do not expect anybody to judge me. I have enough to worry about making sure my own family is healthy and happy.
    I wasn't talking about judging and didn't realise you were - the bit I quoted and replied to said "care" not "judge". Judging and caring are two completely different things.

    Susan often when you're pregnant your ab muscles split vertically and take a while to come back together, you can tell when they split because when you lean back your bump looks like a toblerone triangle, mine haven't come fully back together, there was talk of physio if they hadn't come together by 6weeks or something but I didn't chase it
    Thanks and :eek:
