  • Forgot what I was going to say.

    Big meeting here at 10am - my year of work-related trauma may be over today....although that could well end up with me out of a job in 3 months time, I wouldn't even care about that at this point, I just want it to be over.

    Glam I'm no expert but if you have a letter from HR with a starting salaray on I'm absolutely sure they have to honour it!

    Meant to say earlier, Becles, looks like you live in a lovely part of the world!

    I have formula fed Jack from very young and it was the best thing I did!
    I know my situation is different but trying so hard to BF and then expressing took such a toll on the first few days and resulted in Jack being admitted for feeding problems :( If I could go back then I would just FF from the minute he was born.

    Future babes will be FF straightaway so I don't have the worry :D
    I am a proud FF! :D:D:D:D

    Is it bad that I've almost decided on next one's name???? :o:o
    James Tyler or Joshua Tyler - not that OH knows!!

    Beenie - definitely take Susan up on the offer :)

    !!!!!!!g work have paid me the bottom of the band :mad: I'm a band 6 and each band has pay points, I'm about 4 points up but I've lost £100 this month due to their mistake. Little fluckers! They are arguing that working in GP practice doesn't count towards continuous service but I have a letter from HR with my starting salary on it!

    I have my next baby's name picked out too! Daniel Simon (feel like I have to have Simon as it's FIL's name and we used my dad's name as Thomas's middle name) I would like Daniel James (my grandad's name) but I think he would get laughed at for being a DJ! Likewise DH doesn't know - I think he'd think I was crackers!

    ETA after seeing it written down I don't like Daniel Simon lol....oh well guess I've got a few years to come up with something else :o

    Hope you get your salary sorted :mad:

    MFD - hope it goes ok for you and you get a definitive answer one way or other

    Hope it goes well for you MFD. You sounded fed up in your post and I don't blame you.

    Good luck MFD, I hope whatever happens is the best thing for you and yours. Also, I called the Stokke people this morning and they're sending me a widget :j

    YAY Celia!!!! This gives me hope - last night Molly slept all night in her cot for the first time, but we still had a 3am feed. Still, 9:30-3 and 3:30-7 is more than I was expecting when I optimistically put her down last night so I'm happy. AND we got to celebrate our new bed for the first tme ;)

    Susan, you're such a lovely person. I'm so touched that you'd go help Beenie.

    It's toddlers this morning and I was in 2 minds whether to go or not but since I just wheeled the maclaren through a dogs nest on the grass by next door's in a mission to get a wheely bin (might be mine, might not... Couldn't care less!) I think I'll go and try and walk it off... Much rather walk for half an hour than scrape dog !!!!!! off a pushchair wheel!

    I've also had to leave it outside due to the stink and daren't leave it there too long, it's too pretty for the chav scum to resist robbing it...

  • Ah - now I remember what I was fed up about...

    Glam used to say that she was going to call her next baby Benjamin :(

    I have a JD (Jack Dylan) so would like a JT next :D then possible JJ (John James) but think too many J's could get confusing! I love Jamie and Jake but Jamie is OH's cousins name and he's a moron and Jake is too similar to Jack! :)

    Oh, don't worry I'll get it sorted out! I'll kick off big time if they don't.

    MFD - hope you get something confirmed today :)

    Gill, I used to lie on the bed and feed C to sleep, then when she was asleep I would slide away from her and go off and do my jobs... (Or have a nap with her... ;)) Only in the past week or so have I started putting her in the cot for naps and she's settled herself :)

    Mfd, Hope you get some resolution today :) (if not, I recon I could find some fleas... ;))

    Sugar, yay for a widget :D

    Red, love you too :)

    I do! But it would either be Benjamin William or Benjamin John (both OH's middle names! not copying ;)) and then he couldn't have funky initials as a nickname! Actually OH really liked Benjamin so I'll probably get vetoed! I do plan on havign a few so it will work it's way in there somewhere!
