    I also don't understand people who swear that BF poo doesn't stain...

    SS, sorry to hear hubby is poorly again. Oh and looks like we wouldn't be able to make that Saturday in late May as DH only gets 1 Sat off a month and he needs a different one for something else. Sowwwwwy :( Could still do a Sunday, but I think you had something else planned?

    BF poo DOES stain. I have a collection of stained nappies to prove it!

    Sorry we'll miss you, we have friends coming to see us on that Sunday :( Maybe another time?

    Yes, hopefully!

    Also, I tried the whole bleach-with-the-sun trick and stains didn't budge. Wonder if my milk is somehow stain-inducing? :rotfl:

    3, what Krystal said...that's the only way DH knows (he doesn't know a free way).

    Beenie - we put a disposie on him when he goes to bed (6:30-7pm) and it gets changed first thing in the morning (6-7am). He's never had any complaints and never any nappy rash (watch, I'll jinx myself now...). Very rarely he will do a poo overnight so it obviously gets changed then, but I think it's only happened like twice ever (due to his low-poo status :p).

    Aless, all my size 1s got stained... I found Asda own brand washing tablets got them the cleanest... But I shamefully wash them on a 60º wash too... Some of my flat terry still have ghosts of Aimee poops on them too lol... I tend to use those for floor cloths since I have a pile of tots bots rainbows now though...
    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.

    I said this morning that we're going to the shops at the weekend, so they need to try on their shorts and swimming trunks this week in case they need new ones for our hols. Josh said he needs new swimming trunks, and then followed up proudly with "me c0ck and balls have grown a lot since last year" - woah, too much information there :o:rotfl:

    Good lord :eek:
    I think I might have preferred to die than say something like that to my mum at the age of 13 :p perhaps I was very repressed! It must have been hard not to laugh (which would no doubt have scarred him ;))
    (also I don't know if I would've given much thought to growing of the latter... focus largely on the former... :A)

    I wish all you ladies would stop having sleep troubles :( not only do I feel great sympathy for your broken nights, but it also causes me to re-live our recent history of troubled nights and become depressed at the thought of going through it again (only with added toddler input) with baby02 :eek:
    I do love hearing about the success methods though :) so many things can work but as someone said one of the more consistent ones is the routine-slowly-retreating stuff...

    If I'm at home I'm almost exclusively in my undies or less :o
    How hot do you have your heating? And doesn't that mean you have to keep the curtains shut and quickly get dressed when someone knocks at the door?

    Am I TMIing if I say that I am usually nekkid or boxered when working at home or otherwise lounging? We have slatted slanted blinds, and if someone knocks on the door I put on my dressing-gown and have no additional shame.

    It's not for me, but I don't think it's that unusual to sit around in the buff/undies when alone at home...I know of other people that do it (not first-hand! :rotfl: they've told me) and DH would lounge around in his undies if I let him :p. Some people just like the comfort!

    Weather looks much improved today - think a mission to the park this arvo is in order.

    morning.

    Glam- glad you are back home and i hope OH is thoroughly spoiling you :)

    had a good day at work and did some bookings!! woo hoo!! earning extra money at last :) not much but it will all add up at the end of the month. :) enough so we can go for a nice meal and treat Kian too :)

    Dh took Kian to his parents while i was at work and Kian ate some mashed beans and most of a fromage frais :) not much sleep though so he had a good nights sleep and we got up at 8.20 today rather than 7am :D
