Beenie it's all in the wiggle! :rotfl: My OH still can't put it down so he leave's it up in the hallway :mad:

I might steal the sweets idea too, I've got him a mug and keyring s might do a little hamper with sweets and beer too. Asda have got the Dad toblerones down to £1.50 as well.

Clever Guy rolling over :T

Isla's got a new smile, we don't know where it's come from but she think's she's gorgeous and all her face is scrunched up And apparently the word 'bubble' is hysterical?!

Som Isla's dropped down from being on the 25th at birth to just above the 9th now. I'm not worried as I know she's happy, alert and has plenty of wet/dirty nappies so I knw she get's enough milk. If you hadn't taken her to be weighed would you be worried about her progress? 'They' can sometimes put a huge pressure on mums that their babies need to conform to charts but babies do their own thing. Also are they using the chart for FF babies or BF babies?

Please don't beat yourself up that your stressed or not eating the right things, I'm reading 'The politics of breastfeeding' at the minute and it say's how mums in war zones with no food for themselves and the stress the war causes still produce healthy nutritional milk for their babies.

^^^^ What they all said Som Alfie has dropped over a centile too but I know he's ok, just petite! He's still in some 0-3 month clothes too.

Out of interest why is it only FF charts in the red book?!

So DH started reading my last post about the father's day pressie so I told him not to read, this obviously got his interest up and was trying to guess what I had written about, so he asked if I was pregnant! Funny, he thinks I'd tell you lot before him :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi Fitz, really sorry but just giggled when you said 'have time to have a baby in the meantime'. You made it sound sooo easy!!!

It's Majorca we're going, he just had a few tears for the first time as it hurts so much so I just rang the surgery and had a rant at the time it takes the consultant to check the x-rays! :mad:

Good news about the reduction Fitz

Wiggling, turning stuff off and on again, this thread is a wealth of technical expertise :rotfl:

I was going to suggest toggling the wireless button btu that would have been too technical it seems lol

And if you had suggested that, i'd have stared at the screen blank!


Mum has just invited herself for tea. I've half done steak chilli ready to go in the SC, so just need to make is stretch for an extra person.
I've found a tin on flageolet beans in the cupboard. I have no idea why they are there, what they are, or how long they've been there, but they're still in date. Anyone know if they'll work in chilli?

Oh Tara, I really hope he's okay and that you all get to go on your holiday. I don't blame you for unleashing your inner mummy tiger at the surgery, it shouldn't take too long to get the results when the poor lads in pain.

I've noticed lot's of new avvies since I was last on, their all lovely!

'Tis all very special inside infomation you know! :rotfl:

3 pretty much any beans will work in chilli (even baked beans, right SM? )

My lappy has a button which turns the wireless on and off, it's the F2 key and looks like a little tower with waves coming off it, sometimes I knock it by mistake and it stops the lappy connecting to the modem

Som – as others have said, T is probably fine and it’s not unusual. H has been dropping down the centiles, but as I don’t even have a red book and no-one has mentioned it to me or shown any concern, I only know because I managed to acquire a chart myself! It doesn’t worry me as she is healthy and gains weight every time (except 1 occasion when she had had diarrhoea for a few days and she lost a few ounces).

On the flip side, I don’t think there is anything wrong with HV’s monitoring babies. I think sometimes as mummys we can be a bit over sensitive (not meaning anyone in particular, just people in general from observations on here and my own experience!), and just because they have said to come back every couple of weeks, it doesn’t mean they are saying there is anything wrong, but people seem to get their backs up a bit as they get paranoid about being judged. I don’t think that most HVs actually mean to panic people in this way. I would personally rather someone showed an interest and monitored weight gain/speech development etc than leave it until it does become a problem and then wonder why no-one helped earlier. The chances are that there is nothing wrong in most cases, and then everyone will be happy, but if there was something that could be improved/helped, I would rather know.

Sorry, shutting up now. I don't mean to do such long posts, honestly!

Tara - it was that easy for me last time! Much to DH's disgust. He thought he would be in for months of sex every night and it happened within the first week of trying ha ha.

Thanks SJ. I'll throw them in and see what happens. Might throw a tin of heinz in too.

I do seem to have a little tower with waves coming off, but its on a switch at the side of the laptop which is really easy to accidentally knock off. I've knocked it sooo many times before and have sat ranting about the stupid internet not working!
