beenie i wouldnt buy the quinny footmuff as they go for silly money! i bought mine in a boots sale(the girl didnt know what it was) for £2 used it for 2/3 years and still got £22 back!!! look into a buggy snuggle or one of the generic fleecy footmuffs as then you will be able to change it with your pram. these can be picked up very cheaply too!

Well this morning Tahlie decide to move on from being horizontal in her cot and was completely upside down in her cot!! How does she get like this? she wriggles loads thru the day but only moves side to side a little! Anyone find they dream more since having a baby? have been having some weird dreams lately (most featuring T) and some that Im decidedly happy to wake up from as there a little upsetting but not nightmare status.

I think its because us mummies don't get into the same deep sleep mode as we are always on guard for any crying and that keeps us in the lighter sleep mode where you remember dreams more clearly.
My theory!

Morning all..

I'm no use on cars - currently drive a Fiesta - but interested in the answers because I really need to get a new car sorted very soon. Been putting it off for months already.. :cool:

Rhys is being a bit whingey this morning, just can't seem to decide what he wants to do. Am hoping he decided napping is a good idea sometime soon as the physio is coming round at 11.30am

No plans here except I want to get Rhys' stuff and my lunch for tomorrow sorted while it's still daytime cos I'm fed up of getting caught up in stuff then not being sorted for the next day until about midnight Last week of KIT days this week, then I'm officially back at work from Monday (but starting as I mean to go on and taking my first day off as holiday! ).

Hope everyone has a nice day xx

Now for a rant as we are going to this party/family get together (at my cousins house and starts at 3pm), OH has made plans (without asking me!) to go to his SILs 40th party which doesnt start till 8pm and is an hours drive away, so basically right when T is at her grottiest. I really dont want to go as we dont really get on with her family and generally they ignore us and am worried they'll all be smoking. But OH says if we can go to my family then we have to go to his cos its unfair (I said he didnt have to tell them!), its in less than 2 weeks time too

I agree with him. I always make an effort for my OH to go and see her family and she rarely comes to see my family, they all notice it and start to resent her and i feel caught in the middle AND cut off from my family.

Even though i moan about my family alot to her i still want us both to see them. I have to sit through hours of her grandparents arguing watching nothing but darling buds of bloomin may (no its not perfec, its bloody terrible!)

Its nice if both make the effort no matter how hard that effort is. Just my point of view

Thats a very good point! i hadnt considered that.

We're mainly doing it to replace OH's car, she really wouldnt fit anything in the boot and it has no power steering and no rear doors so it would be a nightmare to get a kid in and out of. I would just swap cars but mine is dangerously unreliable at the moment and i just wouldnt want my family in it as the engine is just cutting out at random. Add the poor fuel consumption to that and the fact im sick to death of it and you have a reason why im looking for a car with a 7 year warranty!

ah right!

I'd probably say go for smaller but super-reliable, and under warranty, and then do bigger trips in a hire car if the fancy takes you.

My neighbours hire an espace to go to disneyland paris with their 3 daughters.

Puts all the mileage on someone else's clock

just my opinion tho...

does a young Catherine zeta-Jones in a bikini not compensate this a bit for you?

PP - I was going to suggest the choice thing too, we had that phase about a year ago and I found giving choices helped and also I wouldn't ask just stick a plate on the table and he'd find his way over there to eat it after a while (Chris has his own little table that Ed will join him at eventually)

Chris was sent to bed without any tea last night broke my blimmin heart! (he still had a cup of milk as usual so wasn't exactly starving) I'm sick of him refusing to eat what I give him! It was fish pie which he used to love, I know he is funny about mash now *shrug* so I scraped a few bits of fish so they were on the side but he refussed to even eat those :mad: he loves fish and would easily eat an adult portion of salmon if you gave him one - he's an awkward !!!!!!!

3 - I'm loving your OH proving that men are the most unobservant things ever
