    MOTM -It's just I worked, did a Mystery Shop so by the time I'd got home and put J to bed, cooked tea, sorted lunch out it, spoken to various family members it was 10.30pm!

    Since introducing the bath at bedtime J has gone down really well and the last 3 nights he's been semi-awake when I've put him down in his cot and he's gone to sleep :j Sometimes I do have to go up 4 or 5 times but a huge improvement!

    Just need to drop these night time bottles now :cool:

    I bought my Dad a couple of designer fake t-shirts while we were in Turkey for Fathers Day. He'll be all trendy in G Star and Henleys :D

    Bought myself a Prada handbag and purse, and the man in the shop gave Charlotte a free Hello Kitty purse for being so beautiful :)
    Here I go again on my own....

    Does it make you less jealous if I say Chris only gives in to sleep at around 9pm and I have to have Edgar asleep on/with me because he refuses to sleep in his cot except for between 2am and 6am?
    :oChris was entitled to a place from April :o

    Not really , would somehow much rather have the sleep on a weekend morning, but then still have to be up and out for swimming at 10am on Saturday and 9am football on Sunday, so it's never going to happen.

    Would Chris not go to sleep earlier if he did go to nursery and was tired out from that. Sorry I am being an interfering nosey cow. I have no idea what you have to do in a day, and what your schedule involves.

    But I did find Joe was easier to get to bed when he started nursery. All gone to pot now though, because what ever time i try to get him in bed 7pm, 7.30pm and 8pm as last night it is just not ever late enough. He hit the floor like a toddler last night when i brought him in at 8pm and said he had to go straight for a shower and bed.

    Bl00dy hell. Latest ever lie in in our house (for me, that is) has been 7.30am and that's at the weekend. How do you manage that?

    I agree WIM

    We wouldn't make a 9.30am weekend show but during the week we are out before 8am anyway so it will just be a 'normal' day for us.

    I paid the extra too - no way I want to be in a scrum in an inflatable tent full of pushy mothers!! At least this way I only have to scrum with 4 rows :rotfl::rotfl:

    We are taking daddy too :D
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    We're usually up and ready to leave by 8:30... But the public transport to Cannon Hill Park during rush hour is just one thing I don't want the stress of... If we take Aimee off to school we can make our way there slowly [STRIKE]via Krispy Kreme[/STRIKE]

    Yay for taking Daddy, we're taking ours too :D

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Going back to work been a good move?

    6 months - I bet giving birth feels like yesterday. Time flies, especially at that age.

    Hi all..

    Lazy day here.. Sami-style, we didn't get up until 9.30am :D

    Rhys had the very last of the EBM on his (2! :eek:) Weetabix for breakfast this morning - thankfully, he ate it all and didn't waste the last bit! :p He's fast asleep on me now.

    I'm officially on holiday for ten days now but OH has still got the weekend to work, then we're off to Norfolk for four nights on Monday :D

    Hope everyone is well, and congrats to the aunties and aunties-in-waiting :) xx
