    I've put the gazebo back up (with some help from my neighbour!) blown the little paddling pool up and put some balls and about 2cm of water in it. Then C was crying/tired so she's asleep on me now. We'll have a sandwich when she wakes up, then go out and play :)

    Which is a lie, it didn't get collected because we are not reigstered as a house, everywhere thinks this place is a business address or it doesn't exist.

    Anyway, onto baby news.

    Lily now has 8ozs in her bottles :eek: The Aptamil box doesn't even have 8ozs in their little chart thing. So i may mention it to the HV, she is sooo tall though i imagine she needs lots of milk :)
    ...
    I know, i make small bets with myself when i get a notifcation, i know it will be her! lol.

    What status are you referring to? :)
    Don't mention bins to me :mad: My bin men are a foo king joke! p!ss up and brewery come to mind! I've complained so many times the girls that answer the phones recognise my voice!
    I wouldn't worry about giving her 8oz, Chris had up to 9oz in his, its fine.

    I was talking about the one where she was having a dig about you not working :mad: I loved that she assumes her kid (that's not born yet?) will go to bed and get up at a time she's decided on, ha I hope she has a child that hates sleep :p

    oh how poo!!! FIL has called to say his insurance won't let him add OH as a driver because they don't cover anyone under 26yo!! !!!!!!! what's wrong with us 25y olds :( Our policy doesn't cover us on other cars so we are now back to square one!

    These last few posts and Kindof's are the exact reason I'm not on Facebook :p

    Why do I want some chav that I was in school with trying to be my friend? If we were truly friends then we would have stayed in contact these last 10 years and not completely ignored ach other!

    I'm probably the extreme though because every person I was friends with had babies by the time they were 18 and don't work. Apparently I was weird for getting a man, a decent job, a house and then starting a family. *shrugs*

    I have a headache as the chuffin' fire alarm has been going off all morning but it was the Standby one so we just had to wait for it to end, coulda done with being evacuated for a few hours in the sun ;)

    Jack was a nightmare last night! Bottles at 7.30pm, 10pm and then 12.30am! He was screaming his head off after the last one so Daddy put him in our bed and he slept on OH's arm all night. God, did OH moan this morning! Welcome to my world love! :rotfl:

    Just had lunch and now working (;)) and keeping up with the budget - am hoping they don't put VAT up to 20%. What on earth was the point in labour dropping it to 15% for these to just put it up to 20%?

    Think the name ConDemNation is very fitting!

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Help I've been awake for the last hour and a half am shattered and feeling really alone, T won't settle except for if she rolls on her front but then she wakes up crying 10 or 15 min later cos she can't roll back. OH is being thoroughly unhelpful and really annoying snoring his head off. I know you alll prob think am just been a drama queen but I don't know what to do :( haven't had a reasonable nights sleep in weeks and OH can't see how much it's all getting on top of me now. I'm scarred to go to sleep now she's on her tummy too. I just wanna cry but it achieves nothing other than giving me a headache.

    ((HUGS)) Som - remember the 6 week rule - in 6 weeks you will have completely different things making you want to cry ;):D

    I think that there is a proper baby wedger cushioney thingey on Amazon (help much? ;)) if you want to wedge her on her side (better than towels). When I was a baby Mums were told to put their babies on their front in case they were sick....and lots of people my age are still around :D
    There are people from my school days I can't believe have tried to add me on facebook...

    Did you know that if you reject their friend request then it sends them notification that they have been rejected...however, if you accept them as a friend and THEN delete them, no notification is sent ;)

    AND it gives you the satisfaction of deleting them :cool:

    When im in the bathroom brushing my teeth, my over active imagintion goes into overdrive, and i always imagine turning around and finding Lily just sat there, even though i left her laying down in the front room :rotfl::o It freaks me out!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Wait until she is...or worse still she is throwing your mobile down the toilet, posting your knickers through the letterbox or as my bundle of joy did last night....trying to climb inside the tumble dryer :eek:

    I heard you get a free blender :D

    I think your classes are the same as ours. We got a free Tommee Tippee cup at the weaning one- not as good as a blender but it's the best cup for them (although the messiest). We got to try banana and avocado at our class- it was yum. We talked about BLW too. I found it a useful class,although I get a bit stressy with the 'detail' people who ask a million questions about everything. I am not a 'detail' person :o.

    Off for a walk in the sun.

    so far I'm liking what I hear, well what I understand :p not up to parental benefits yet!
    I think we might be ok though, they seem to think we are low enough earners to not be mean to us
