I don't know really - I would like to keep her in the cot until she can climb out, but there isn't a lot of space left in Livs room for the cot.

I'm fortunate that Aimee's room is huge, but there's so much stuff in there we do struggle for space... Shame you can't get bunk beds that are cots on the bottom lol...

I knew it Krystal! Congratulations!!!!

Don't worry about the bedroom issues, it's hard having 3 in a room, it's harder with mine much older than Amber because they wake her up, but it's doable. You could always get a sofa bed for you and OH in the livingroom. Or just do your loft if you can.

Uhm... forgot what else. Oh yeah, can I pretend to try (knowing the DH has had the snip) so just so I can have lots and lots of sex? Cos I found this app fro my iphone that tells me I'm fertile from tomorrow lol!

You could get bunk beds with slats, take the slats out the bottom bunk, put the cot in (you may need to get a smaller cot?) and so long as you put as many slats either side of the cot as you can fit, the bunks will be safe enough. Drop side cot though.

Any idea what I'm going on about?

We have a bed settee in the living room... Bloody uncomfortable lol... I'm not so worried about the 3 to a room thing.. When we were children my Aunt had a brain tumour and her children came to live with us for a while... There were 3 boys in 1 room and 2 girls in the other 2 rooms and we all managed to grow up not completely mentally scarred...

With Any luck we'll move house... But if we're still here when room numbers become an issue it would be easy enough to turn this into a 3 bed with an extra window and some stud wall... A couple of houses on the estate have done it... And my friend round the corner has made hers 4 bed!!

And you can have all the sex you like...

Ikea had a high loft bed set up on display, with a day bed underneath.

You could put either of the underneath beds with the open side to the wall and it'd be just like a cot?

The kids room here is tiny, usable space is 2x3 meters with one wall all window. Bunk beds, cot, drawers and it's full.

And yay for sex! lol

period tracker lite

You can buy the full version for £1.19 for charts and stuff (good if TTC for real), but the lite version lets you enter start and end dates, symptoms etc and it will work out when you are fertile. You can go back to previous months and enter your dates so it's more accurate. You can also enter symptoms and it will let you know when you are likely to get PMT etc. Takes a few months to be accurate obviously.
