  • Gill - enjoy your little bit of relaxation!

    Don't worry about how much he naps in the day - babies need lots of sleep and the more they sleep the better they sleep (if that makes any sense). Benjamin will happily sleep for 3 hours in an afternoon and then still have 12 or 13 hours at night. Although at 15 months he is a whirlwind when he is awake LOL!


    Off to bed. Night all xxx

    Beenie - You sent that text yet? :question:

    No :( I fail at life :o:o

    But i'm gonna see her tomorrow when she picks up Brat so do i act like everything is fine and text her another day, or man up and say it to her face? :eek:

    My friend came over tonight, i wish she came more often i hardly ever see her. I saw her more when she lived in York, and she only lives 10 mins away now. We had the pizza deal offer from Morrisons and some choc cake with baileys cream :D It's just blissful being distracted from the noise next door and also to have someone to feed Amber her night bottle so i can get the house sorted out. :D

    Susan our Beaver colony just started up after a 4 year break (due to no leader) so there's only about 4 beavers so far! Leader keeps telling us to invite all the kids from school but i cba with half of them so i'm hoping it'll grow without my help lol. I'm so bad.

    ooo, am i first on? Last night was good - only 1 wake-up other than the usual feed! He still woke up fairly early, but as dh gets up for work at 6, i just feed him in bed until then. Once the night wakings are conquered, then we'll work on the early mornings :)

    Hope everyone has a good day!

    Morning

    Must get that uni essay finished this morning. Tried to do some last night but I was knackered and gave up :o

    Got to go to the hospital this afternoon for allergy tests to see if that is what is causing my sinus pain and snot. I have to travel to Darlington though. I did ring and ask if I could have the appointment closer to home, but apparantly if you live in County Durham, you can only be allergy tested on a Wednesday afternoon in Darlington! The lady did say sarcastically "welcome to our wonderful flexible NHS" :rotfl:

    Have a good day all xx
    Here I go again on my own....

    Moan warning :mad:

    When we moved into this house we needed to give our managers number for a work reference. We called him and he said it was him that gives the reference and to put his email down.

    So we did it again for this house. Checked my fb today and someone who is training to be a manager has sent me a message saying "An agency contacted us and i cant give details out about you so i gave them payrolls number"

    :mad::mad::mad:

    1. Why the hell was he checking the ops managers emails? And the replying to what isn't addressed to him?
    2. He knows how bad payroll are at doing anything and he even metioned that in the message.
    3. Last time the manager gave the reference fine!

    So now i have to wait for payroll to do the reference, and it needs to be done yesterday! They took 3 weeks to fill in an a4 form to confirm my working hours and pay for LHA :mad:


    Sorry to rant, its just this credit check needs to be done by the 20th so we can give notice here.

    Morning anyway :)

    Lily is chatting anyway loudly, she seems to be growing up so quickly *sob*

    Hi SJ - love the pic of Alfie in your avatar - he's so cute! What time do you usually start your routine?

    We had a couple of green poos last week, I'm sure you've already checked this but in my case it was because I was swapping boobs too quickly (I don't normally so don't know why I did this time lol) so he was getting too much foremilk. Apparantly it's also common in hotweather if they're feeding more frequently and digesting it too quickly.


    This is the first time DH and I have sat downstairs on our own since he was born!!

    Thanks! We go upstairs at 7pm, run the bath, draw the curtains and put a lamp and the bedroom light on. Then he's bathed, dried and dressed the light goes off and I feed him quietly in the dim light. Burp him then put him down in his cot awake, sometimes with the mobile on (I don't put it on every night as I don't want him to reply on it and cause us any issues if he needs to go to bed elsewhere). He's normally asleep within 5 minutes. Oh and now, if for some reason I don't notice the time or we are out somwhere, Alfie will let us know it's bedtime by getting grumpy bang on 7!!

    I have been trying to be sure he's completely drained one side before changing but not making much difference. He only comes off of his own accord and I haven't changed how I feed him (I don't think) so not sure what to try next :/

    Hope you enjoyed your evening :)

    Glad you had a good night! I often think of you in the morning and wonder how you got on. We had a good night last night too, must have been the night for it!

    Definitely the night for it. We had a good night too- only one wake up at 4:40 which is pretty much back to normal for us.

    SJ- while you're around can I pick your brains on cakes. Do you know anywhere (online or a chain) that would sell little tiny carrots made of icing to go on carrot cupcakes, also anywhere that sells boxes for transporting multiple cupcakes? Thanks in advance!
