    Yoga was good! Lots of singing and playing with baby which is what we like! Lots of throwing the baby around which was OK for the HV with her demo doll a bit harder with 18lbs of actual human baby, I was knackered!
    My fav bit was quiet time, the last 10 mins you just lie down on all the cushions with baby and she shuts the blinds and puts lullabies on and just relax, quality!

    My back is officially broken from the epic driveway weeding of last week, (and 3 shifts at Aldi!) so a bit achey now. My drive looks good though!

    Help ladies, wanna book my holiday for next year, decided against Turkey due to heat as Maddy is so fair, so Algarve, June 2nd or end June, anyone any idea?

    We are going to Spain on 26th June. I'm a bit worried about how hot it will be for K and if I had the choice I would have gone earlier.
    OH has set holidays so we have to go when we can.
    Are you not tied into school holiday dates?

    Buttons, nope, stopping now :) Hope Keira is better soon xx

    Rhys just woke up.. went to check on him thinking we were getting into record territory now but found him just waking up :) Thanks aless and caz. I reckon he's just extra sleepy at the minute then.. will carry on thinking anything more than 40mins morning and afternoon is a bonus! :)

    I remember when Keira was 1, she used to have two naps a day.

    She'd get up around 8 I think, sleep at 11ish for an hour, then she'd go back for a nap around 2/3 and bedtime was about 8/9/10 - that one was always a mare, depending on how long the 2am nap was. She used to pull a cushion off the sofa, put it on the floor and lie down on it, before she did that, she would just lie down wherever and have a kip :rotfl:

    Caz, sounds like you may be due a wee payout! Can you play with entitledto to find out? Doesn't usually take long to sort out anyway. Fingers crossed for a large sum so you can all go out and have some fun!

    My loft is almost all floored, and with all the junk out, it looks huge! And there is lots of head space with the rafters moved up just a little! I'm so excited, I need another £500 so I can get my window and stairs in! Then the rest will be done bit by bit.

    Mazcabs I use the TTCN anti colic bottles and I now hate them, midway through feed or just as we are about to give feed, the little rubber valve falls off the bottom making E swallow more air if we dont catch it in time, not good if you ask me

    Just caught up quickly while E is asleep, I'd love the size 2 teats please (that sounds screwy doesnt it after I've slagged them off lol, but they are helping I think and as long as I catch the valve before it falls off its ok, I am going to email them to complain though)

    Ok I am gonna hve to log off now, I need to get to boots and get some colief and more milk

    Speak later (hopefully lol)

    Are you not tied into school holiday dates?

    We go to Majorca on the 22nd, holiday dates, the school is officially against it but the headmistress will give you a week so long as it's not May as she thinks the holidays are a rip off in the school hols. As far as I'm concerned so long as the government won't deal with the holiday companies they can go poke their fines where the sun don't shine. :cool:
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p
