And I have now decided to buy a less squeeky bed when I have saved up enough survey/cashback vouchers and money :rotfl:.

Since we've moved house last year, OH has refused to let me rebuild our bed because it is too squeaky and loose in its frame so mattress is still on the floor a year in! As she gets more pregnant I think we may need a bed-frame again, not trivial getting up and down off the floor... The bedroom is littered with long wooden beams and so forth!

Argh, got the Housing Officer's line manager ringing me today and i haven't made notes!! I rang and said i want to make a complaint about the way she's dealt with it so far and a nice sympathetic man agrees that she should have given me the noise equipment by now!He said he also has oisy neighbours so sympathises.

Need notes...

Last night DS didn't get to sleep til 11pm......... because of their TV. It's affecting his fking school :mad:

That sounds like notes to me ... it is a shame you are far away - i would come sit with you so you aren't so outnumbered. Do you have anyone local who would come with you and back you up?

We're back from an exciting morning at messy play - lots of water play outside, drawing, and getting very cross whenever anyone else was playing with the toy she wanted. I think the terrible twos have come early - the last few weeks have been full of temper.

We also had a nice play in the park, then a picnic. And now we are home, she is asleep in her buggy, and I've failed to sleep due to noisy music upstairs, and a child outside playing with an annoying noisy toy. Early night for me tonight.

On the subject of breakfast, with Izzy it depends what day of the week it is - if it is a nursery day then I give her something to pick at (some rasins or a handful of cheerios - she has them without milk, just eats them like a snacky thing) while I'm eating my breakfast/getting myself ready, then she has breakfast properly at nursery. I always give her a banana when I drop her off, then she has toast or wheetabix too.

On tuesdays (when she is with my Mum, but my Mum fetches her from here, so it is less of a rush :T) she has scrambled eggs - normally with some cheese over the top and sometimes with a little bit of tomato or mushroom mixed in.

On the other days she either has bread, or readybreck with fruit. Sometimes I make her a "cooked" breakfast with sweetcorn pancakes, tescos vegetarian hotdogs and some tomatoes chopped up (and maybe a couple of olives too) - we sit at her table together and have a civilised breakfast without rushing

She occasionally has nutella, but only if she has stollen my breakfast like a cheeky gypsy

MFD - Gorgeous photo!
Hi Gill :hello:
Yes, this is about my third or fourth time at trying to keep up (-ish) with this thread... hopefully I'll last a bit longer this time! Sorry I didn't reply to you on fb - I meant to but I'm really useless at it and forgot . Anyway, Freddie is gradually getting better - he's managed to sleep for 5 hours a couple of nights and he's now managing to get to 3am from 11.15/11.30pm on a fairly regular basis, so I'm feeling a bit more human. My biggest problem tends to be getting him back to sleep when he wakes up - it can take an hour and a half to manage it sometimes...

Wow ladybird... Don't let Izzy talk to Caitlyn about breakfast... It'll make her rice crispies woefully inadequate...

Bruno, don't burst my bubble... I like to pretend I'm better at making words than you I would recommend putting the bed up too... Our old one was really high and had tall posts on the footboards which made getting out a cinch at 9 months pregnant... Our new one is shockingly close to the floor and in a chinese futon style so no footboard... I have no idea how I'll be working around that one!

I can't think of anything that you've probably not done already! Later to bed, less naps during the day, maybe getting up with her at 4.30am but ignoring her so she knows it's not playtime??

Just to say that Benjamin sleeps better and longer with an earlier bedtime than with a later one.

Actually, we went to see SIL last night and came home at 7pm because it is just a nightmare trying to keep him up past then. When we got home I put the kettle on to make his bottle and Benjamin stood at the door with his elephant crying to go to bed

Our bed is much less squeaky since we moved house and [STRIKE]we [/STRIKE]OH took it down and put it back up again so you may find it is improved when you put it back up.
