    No Mfd, they're the joke. You're lovely!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • Sorry - please don't start with another round of what idiots they are. All your concern is lovely but I hate it taking over the thread :o just thanking my post is enough for me to know that you care.

    I take it as read that you all agree with Krystal :D thank her post instead of commenting :o

    Lily used to sleep reall well, but now she's turned into the lightest sleeper ever. Any small noise will wake her up.

    We have the windows closed and the kids across the road in the school are shouting, it keeps making her jump and waking her up.

    She isn't sleeping well at night either :(

    Her poor eyes look so tired, but there has to be complete silence for her to actually manage sleep and its not possible when our house is right on a main road.

    Cant wait to move :)

    Errr, i keep biting my lip and its bleeding. I hate the taste of blood, its making me sick :(

    Sorry EA but the solution to this problem is not to make it quieter for Lily, it is to make it noisier so she gets used to it. If you constantly tiptoe around her whilst she sleeps then she gets used to the quiet, if she is used to a noiser environment it will be easier all round....especially if you are looking to have another.

    Background noise is good because it means that sudden noises don't wake them.

    My opinion only.

    MFD I just popped in to see if you'd been back before I go for a walk. What a fARSE!

    ETA: I just saw you told us not to post, but I don't care because i'd already typed it. :p

    That annoyed me too. When I was a single mother, I had just under £10K coming in from wages and tax credits. I wasn't entitled to housing benefit as I was in the marital home, and I had to pay all the mortgage costs as he refused to pay it. I didn't claim council tax benefit as I didn't know about it.

    Becles, that sounds exactly the same as I was. Same wages, I had to pay the mortgage on my own as Ex was (and still is) an !!!!, and I earned too much for CT benefit!

    It's a strange situation, being skint, but not skint enough for help!


    Right, i'm off out for a walk now that the rain has stopped and the summer has returned. :D

    ETA again, EA I think MFD is right - get her used to sleeping with some noise. I remember the time when I had to hoover to get V to nap (or just leave the hoover on while I sat down with a cuppa and cake).

    Caz I say drive too but only because I do that train journey often and I hate it :o Well it's good if you go into 1st class :D but that's a bit expensive, but I rode 1st class down last time (it was cheaper than economy) and it was fabulous.

    How cheap are your tickets btw! I can't get it for £19, flipping Aberdeen and it's victorian train lines.
