Pigpen - The rain is here, in dull old Scotland. It's been a miserable day here. Still warm, but not roasting like down South.

Why is there rain EVERYWHERE but here?

It will all be used up by the time it is meant to be over here.. it always is.. dribbles itself out over the oennines and I get none!


hammy.. re paed appt.. Urgent appointments usually take 6 weeks to come through. Have you had a letter saying they have received the referral? If not I'd try ringing the appointment office, they can usually give an idea of how long it will be... and will sometimes make a decent appt over the phone.. if you know which consultant he has been referred to you can ring the main switchboard and ask to speak to the paediatric consultants secretaries and they will be able to tell you if an appointment has been made already.

Doh SS - you should have mentioned your stokke slippage on here! Make sure you get on the phone to them tomorrow...


...and I am very pleased that it is not replacement-xplory worthy!!

MFD it didn't occur to me to ask till I saw a whole FB group of Stokke-owners *doh*

Beenie, I agree with other people - health visitor or Susan would be better options, as would a careful reiteration of the problem and a call to the council to insist on being given noise monitoring equipment and a new HO.

Hammy, please don't feel like you need to lurk. We missed you. I'd call to ask when the appointment will be too, and I wish I could do something.

:grouphug: Caz.

My throat is itchy, and although I am incredibly tired I need to eat some toast or something before (going back to) bed, I think.

Ha ha. My FB says S Smith and 2 other friends like Stokke Lovers. I didn't have to check to see which other friends like Stokkes! One of the mum's at my the P&T I occasionally go to has an orange one which is quite smart looking. Her friend has one too (black).

It's been raining here since 3, non stop. It's lovely!

What is this about the Stokke? Is something not perfect?

My daughter has a bad headache...

3, the seat of mine slides down when Molly wiggles and jiggles about in it. Apparently it can happen ...... and all it requires is a call to the Stokke people, who send out a part to stop it happening.

Anyone seen the Mother and Baby article furore http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/uk/breast%20versus%20bottle%20the%20debate%20reignited/3694277. I think it's a pretty inflammatory article whichever side of the feeding fence you sit on, but it reeks of a publicity stunt to me......

Hi Amanda - how old and what have you tried to help her?


Off to bed in a sec...just need to check what MIL ironed while she was here

Hi Amanda - how old's your little one? Most headaches are caused by dehydration, has it been hot near you and has she had enough to drink?

GISI I've been watching this with interest. On the one hand, she's free to make her own choices, but on the other I think it's irresponsible to call breastfeeding "creepy" when so few mothers in the UK do it; it's hardly encouraging them to think positively about it. But then again if her aim was to sell magazines and generate publicity she's done really well.

Also, calling breasts "funbags" is just revolting IMO.
