    Names come and go! I found a few things for the UK, but nothing super-recent. Like Susan said, though, that website is all living people, whereas most name data comes from birth registers.

    Not sure what's on the books today, depends on the weather :p. Could walk down to the coffee shop to splurge in a cuppa, but feel a bit like a saddo when in there alone.

    Krystal, I am absolutely no expert at all so I can only suggest things I've read like offering water instead or just refusing to give the booby but still being comforting, etc. :o

    Wonder if Finn's new-to-us England romper from eBay will come today for the game. Not that it matters, as he will be in bed well before kick-off! :D

    Weird, I tried to quote Sami and it didn't work. No crutches, but it doesn't seem to stop him, he hops and crawls!

    Fantastic night here 8pm til 7am - I actually had my make up on without any assistance this morning :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

    Sorry but I've not had a night like that since about January :j

    Tara - early for you isn't it? As my Dad would say, did you wet the bed? :rotfl:

    I buy it OTC, I've never been actually diagnosed as having hayfever or asked for a 'script because both times I had my exemption I still had loads stockpiled :rotfl: I buy it in bulk as per martin's instructions :money:
    maybe you should print the leaflet and give it to your GP ;)

    I've had mine on prescription since I was 15, back in the days when clarityn was horrifically expensive! They moved me to neoclarityn when that stopped working.

    I think I'll buy some zirtek save hassle of docs appointment!

    We had a really really good night. He was in bed at 8.45 which is the earliest so far. We went to bed at midnight anh he was stirring a bit and kicked his sheet off, but he slept until 5am! He went back until 8am altho he did keep whinging, snuffling and squealing inbetween sleeps. I'm not getting my hopes up for this being regular thing as the heat makes him sleepy and he has a bit of a cold i think.

    He was really snuffly when DH did his nappy this morning, so much so that he wouldnt leave for work (T was in his chair) until i came down coz he didnt want to leave him alone. I think it's just a cold and a result of lying on his back all night but I'm just a bit concerned with it being friday and the doctors being closed all weekend. Do you think there's anything they can do to help or should i just keep him sat up all day? He seems well in himself and is feeding with no problems (he struggled on wed eve when cold first started) so he cant be too blocked up.

    Hope everyone else is ok and had a good night

    Yeah that's how I dropped the night feeds but the early morning one just seems impossible unless I want to start my day somewhere between 4am and 5:30am... She woke at 3:30 the other morning and I didn't feed her but she was swinging between tantrums and just unsettled until 5 when she just suddenly decided to lie in the cot calmly and go to sleep :confused: She goes to bed with a cup of water and that's the first thing I offer her...

    No... Not through lack of trying on my part!!

    Gill, there isn't a lot they can do for a blocked nose... You can try saline squirted up there (it melts the blockage and it all runs out... Not pretty!!) Or something like baby vicks rubbed on a bit of cloth nearby... But you can't use it on their body until they're 3 months I think?

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Krystal - but maybe she just needs a day or two of tantrums to learn that she won't get fed that early. I don't have much room to talk, since we're going through something similar (waking up at 5-5:30 instead of 6-6:30) but as Caitlyn's much older maybe she would get the idea. Not sure, of course! I'm sure someone with older babba will be along shortly :D:D.
