    Know that feeling KOAG... OH is always doing that when I get up to feed WG...

    TC's - thats one advantage I have as we have to call a special tel no as OH had a pension with Standard Life and so we go through to a seperate department...

    BTW - Fairies posted teats yesterday sorry for the delay... forgot to weigh it though but put 2 large 1st stamps on so hope thats enough postage.:D

    Ah thats cool lol, I dont think its fair there is a 3 month claim cut off when their phones are so bloody busy lol

    I work in State Pension and every christmas we of course are really busy cos all the pensioners ring up about their winter fuel, well when that happesn the clerical teams go on the phones, you would think the HMRC would do the same (maybe they do lol maybe its just busier than the pesnion line, I dunno lol)

    Aww thank you :)

    I think E is teething, he keeps chewing on his hands, or my finger if I put it in there and dribbling like mad, I've ordered some teethers that are like dummies but that go on the gum, cos the teethers that I have wont fit in his mouth lol, I can see a white thing coming through his gum on the bottom at the front, but not the very front if that makes sense?

    what should E wear when I take him out I am still confused about how many layers E needs to wear, Ive just put the washing out and its quite hot out, I plan on just wearing a vest top when I take him out but will tkae my hoodie in case the weather changes, E currently is dresed in a vest, a tshirt, jeans and socks and scratch mittens (he's gonna pull his eye out if not lol) I was going to put a wooly hoodie on him, is it too hot for that?? I just didnt know if it was ok for him to have a short sleeve tshirt on only (with his vest underneath)

    Kindof if i'm confused about how warm it is i leave a jacket off as she has a blanket over her anyway for snuggleness. Then if it gets a bit nippy i just pull the blaket up and tuck her in

    Charlotte is being naughty at bedtimes. She's dry all day and can manage an afternoon nap with no nappy, but she still wets at night and needs a nappy on. She's master of delaying tactics at bedtime and has started pooing about 20-30 minutes after I put her to bed then shouting for me to go up and change her :mad: Each night I repeatidly ask her if she needs a poo during her shower/bath and before she goes to bed, but she always says no and then does it in the nappy. I'm sure she's holding it for attention seeking reasons and it's driving me mad.
    It's possible that she's more relaxed when she goes to bed and therefore it comes out easier. Alice always does a poo without fail within 15-20 minutes of going for her quiet time. (Thankfully these days it's in her potty but it used to be nappy/pants.) Usually her quiet time starts about one o'clock but one day last week I decided we would do things in the afternoon before her quiet time so she didn't go for quiet time till 3.30 and we still had the regular clockwork poo about twenty minutes later.

    I have to take D to the docs tomorrow though as he has recently developed an allergy to milk :(

    Eczema can be linked to milk allergy can't it? How is Davids Eczema doing?

    kindof - I tend to do like beenie and have a blanket to hand, that and the hv said as a general rule of thumb they should have one more layer than what ever we're wearing (unless its really hot) and i find this works.

    boo - yeay for teeth :)

    nms - sounds like a lovely OH you have x

    My lil girl is trying to sit up already :eek: if I lie her down she can pull up like she's doing ab crunches and holds it for a few seconds! her shoulders come right away from whatever she is lying on. She does it over and over too, then ends up all grouchy not sure if its cos its tiring her out or fustration of not being able to sit up!

    Well, poops. Husband has just gone back to the hospital. I have an unspecified illness and feel like death vaguely microwaved for a few seconds, and Molly is clearly miserable over something and has been whinging nonstop since 5am.

    I think today will be a Bad Day.
