    My brain is having a bad day.

    Sent two parcels TNT. Thought i'd sent one with the wrong address label, though the consignment note was correct. Rang them to explain. Have had a call back to say they can fix it and package will get to the right place tomorrow. And I have since realised that no, I didn't do it wrong in the first place, so there was no need to faff, panic and ring them and sound like a right incompetent pratt. Will my brain cells ever return to normal? or am i doomed to a life of dumbness?

    AFternoon all.

    I'm looking for some advice again please. Here is my DD's routine at the moment:

    Breakfast of 7oz formula when she gets up (usually around 8.30)

    Lunch of 7oz formula plus 2 ice cube size portions of a fruit or veg puree (between 12noon and 1pm depending what time she had breakfast)

    Tea of 7oz formula less what it takes to mix the 1-2 tsp of baby rice (which she wolfs down and likes it thicker like porridge) between 4pm and 5pm)

    Supper of 7oz formula (between 7.30 and 8pm)

    then a final top up of 3-4 oz formula about 9.45 then bed at 10pm. Most nights she sleeps through with no trouble.

    I am quite happy with this routine but not sure where to go next. Do I increase the amount I'm giving her and decrease the amount of milk? Been to clinic today but it was only one of the younger health visitors and she didn't give me any real advice so I thought of you guys!

    Could you PM me with any advice as this thread moves too fast for me to keep up with as I don't log on all the time.

    Thanks in advance

    Emma & baby Jessica

    PS Can anyone tell me how to put piccies on here please?

    My stairs are in!!!!! woohoo!!!!

    I can totally go up them... only to fall back through the loft hatch :D

    But I understimated just how much work it will now take to get a hall rather than building site. It all needs plasterbaording and redecorating.

    The place we're viewing is indeed in the NW, about 40 minutes from my parents'

    40 minutes in which direction? Are we going to be neighbours? :D

    3, whereabouts are you? I don't want to say too much cause we've not even seen it yet, much less put in an offer/had it accepted/whatever.

    Woohoo - one less thing for you to worry about!

    Have you told tax credits, and are you able to get carers now?

    We're still waiting for the renewal (since March!). We got a letter this week saying they're waiting for info from J's specialist. I'm now thinking the Dr. will wait until he's sees J on 1st July before he replies.

    PM'd.

    OOh, that's still not far - maybe 20 minutes from me.

    And you'd be near enough for Manchester/Warrington meet ups.

    When are you coming over to view?
