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:

Oh dear Well I hope this weekend is going to make up for it. Next time take the day off work and let everyone do everything for you

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

: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

Back at work now after having William, working 4 days in office and 1 at home, he's 6 months old this weekend

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

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! 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

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

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.

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,

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:

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!

My_Fathers_Daughter

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!
