    Thanks, Fitz. I'm not entirely sure what the problem is (of course, because if I did, I would fix it!). The wake-ups are generally uneventful and he will settle back down fairly easily - so I'm inclined to think it's not so much an I-want-mama thing as a I-woke-up-and-need-help-getting-back-to-sleep-okay-there-we-go-zzzzzzzz, which the usual culprit is EITHER undertired or overtired! :eek: So it's a bit of experimenting to figure out which of the 2 it is. I will add putting to bed later on the list of things to attempt - the first thing I'm going to try is cutting back on naps, as doing some reading they are on the high end for his age so maybe he needs less day sleep but none of us have realised (not even him, because he takes them quite easily).

    Off to a friend's house in a bit...not sure I want to, since I know for a fact she didn't have any sleep problems with her LO. :p:p but maybe he can teach Finn a thing or two in secret baby talk! :rotfl:

    Eta: also, we do generally have a plan of action in the night, but sometimes it goes out the window when DH wakes up in one of his ogre moods, which happens occasionally.

    Also, hi Beenie! How's Amber? :D

    I know this is totally unhelpful, but I'm not sure there is any reason or rhyme to a lot of night waking. I think a lot of it is them waking up like we do in the night, because we need to roll over or stretch or whatever, then as Aless says they struggle to settle themselves again. I also wonder if some of it is that they don't know how to make themselves comfortable again on their own without being picked up and put down again. Probably not very helpful, but just my own theory on it.

    :hello: Beenie. How's the apple? I ordered a petite star zia and am waiting impatiently for it to arrive.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    No, cos i keep putting it off.

    The HELLHOLE situation... haha well... The Goonies were banging as they do, noisy fooktards that they are. So my DS banged back. And Mr Goonie banged back BLATANTLY on purpose and i thought my wall was going to fall down. So down came a red mist and i RAGED and went round next door effing and blinding and screaming at them. The !!!!!!!! was trying to come and batter me but his wife pulled him away.

    So the next day the housing officer bint came round (they'd rang her and made a complaint about me). I was like get fooked i think i've done well for this to have gone on 9 months til i lost it!!!!! Anyway i had a proper go at her aswell and said i'm not happy about the way any of this has been handled and that i'm seriously thinking of going private i'm not being taken seriously etc. Not that it did any good cos nothing has changed and they#re still being !!!!!!! noisy and it's making me want to kill myself. :mad::mad::mad: They keep making the HO feel sorry for them "cos they can't live in their house as normal". Umm i've lived here 7 years "normal" with "normal" neighbours til they !!!!!!! moved in and THEY managed to not make all this noise.

    And that night, the other side!!!!! had their thunder racing war games on full blast so i went all psycho again and properly goosed my wall in and the docile muppet knocked on the door to be greeted with YOU EFFING IGNORANT INCONSIDERATE W****S I'M EFFING SICK TO DEATH OF THIS!!!!!!!! ETC. He didn't know what to say but he didn't really gt chance cos i was in such a rage i felt like i wasn't properly in control of myself :eek: I slammed the door in his face and raged for days. At least they !!!!!! after that (for about 12 hours), the other side brazenly don't bother now.

    I have 9/10 months of 24hrs a day pure ANGER built up inside me and god forbid if they say something to me in the street. And while i type this they're at it worse than ever ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

    Omg rant.

    Amber has a tooth!! :D Noticed it poking through yesterday!

    I sold the Apple, and have bought a Joolz. I went to M&P and loved it. It's not here yet though... should be on Weds.
  • Yay for Amber's tooth and yay for the Joolz! I hope it's fab.

    :rotfl: Beenie, your rant made me laugh! But seriously, your neighbours are [EMAIL="w@nkers"]w@nkers[/EMAIL]!

    Sooo.. We're going to view a house today!! :j
    This one

    It has an actual front door! And the kitchen will be the same floor as the living room! :j:j

    We will use the other reception room as our bedroom and have the two upstairs ones for the babies :D

    Then i have my college interview, eek! Nervous!

    Woke up this morning to find Lily had turned all the way round in her cot and had her feet where her head previously was! :eek: She moves around so much now, means i cant leave her on the sofa :eek:

    Last night she kept turning from her front to her back, but she wont do it now :(

    Beenie good to "see" you but sorry the neighbours noise thing still hasn't been sorted out. I wonder if a letter to the local press might help?
