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.
Jake started sleeping alot better once he started nursery, before he would still be awake and messing about at past 10 o clock! now he's upstairs at 7 and nearly always asleep before 8. I much prefer the routing of school/nursery tbh, this half term has been a bit of a nightmare and think the 6 week hols are gonna b tough!! but then i do miss him when he's there so cant win really lol,0 -
TWO weetabix Elle? That is impressive!! Benjamin will usually polish off 1 followed by 2 fromage frais and some fruit (a satsuma or a dozen grapes or whatever) but I doubt he could eat 2 - that is like an adult breakfast!!
I still have 2 bags of house white in the freezer...not quite sure what I am keeping them for but I can't bring myself to throw them out

EA hope Lily is ok & you can get her into the docs quickly
Not sure if you've mentioned whether you've tried anything yet, but I was told acqeous (sp?) cream is not great by a HV and to try and get e45 from the doc :cool:
I did look for some aquaous cream in boots but only found some Junior Oilatum. It seemed to be working but its spreading quickly.
Didn't call the docs as she is taking her milk ok today and no sick
She has finished two 7oz bottles though! :eek::eek:
Right, im angry. We have the official wedding pics on a disc, they are lovely i love them. We viewed them on the xbox, but my laptop wont let me copy them across! :mad:
It keeps crashing :mad:
Hmm, OH is watching the world cup thingy. I like all the south african dancing and dancing
CSH - :j Congrats to your sister and you becoming an auntie!! Im only an aunty by marriage, my siblings are all under 10, except one who is 18 :cool:0 -

Fabby,ta
Absolutely love the guys I'm working with, so much nicer having a laugh with them than the in-fighting of a four-women dept
Am getting my head around the whole new language they use over there (all engineering speak and bit of machinery or chemicals I've never heard of) so it's getting easier. Have got involved just at the right time as they bring in two new systems so I'm learning them along with everyone else

He usually has one and a half but there was a bit more milk than normal (not very accurately measured into the bag!) so I kept crumbling a bit more in until it was the texture he normally has and he ended up with two whole ones plus the loose bits from the packet
Had three cubes of pear mush from the freezer alongside it - God knows how old they are, found them lurking at the back with the milk! :cool:
I was contemplating saving the last bag "just in case" though I don't quite know exactly "just in case" of WHAT I was saving it for! :rotfl: That said, my boobs don't seem to have gotten the message yet - they might still work, I dunno! I keep thinking "oh, ouch, must express" then realising I don't do that anymore!

I have bags that have been there since September (when did I stop expressing? About October time?) One of them is 8oz and I remember being so impressed with myself for managing to express that much in one go!!
Benjamin helped himself to a scotch pancake this morning...they were sat on the side in the kitchen just close enough for him to help himself to the packet *rolleyes* nothing is safe in my house now, I had only just made him put the fromage frais back in the fridge that he brought to me in the living room
I bet he had a full breakfast with the CM when he got there and then toast at pre-school too!please listen to MFD - she is a wise woman

as I'm emotional as...
...I'm an auntie for the second time today!!!!
SIL gave birth to my nephew in the early hours but her DH was sent home an hour earlier and missed it!
xx
Ouch poor DH but yay
sounds like a speedy process!
And twice in a day SB, that's particularly impressive
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?
Chris was entitled to a place from April 
No!!! Elijah goes to bed at 9pm, gets up typically at 6.30ish, and that's the way it is. Lie-ins don't happen for me, at all, and even OH who is desperate for them doesn't get to sleep beyond 8am except on special occasions
Yay for Charlotte's acquisitive cuteness Becles
that must have been very pleasing! 0 -
Rhys has these pancakes for lunch sometimes.. Not sure if/how they're different to scotch pancakes

I'm starving.. there are teacakes in the kitchen, crying out to be toasted!!
Still got a zonked out baby on me though :cool:
Same thing. Benjamin loves them! He was stood dancing on the kitchen work surface eating one and singing last night
(daddy was stood with him of course...my boys like to watch me slaving over a hot stove!)please listen to MFD - she is a wise woman
