But I don't suppose Izzy would be too pleased about going back into a cot now.

Ha, no, I shouldn't think so.

Jenny, I'm sure risotto would be fine in the fridge, so long as you warm it up again properly when you eat it. I keep vege risotto for the next day pretty much whenever I cook it- I'm rubbish at getting the quantities right.

sorry to hear news bout the job MFD.

i take it that its a casualty of all the cuts that were announced yesterday.

i think we're all in a for a rough time with all these cuts.

lovely pic dora and tara.

Kian had his first 'messy play' at nursery today. they were outside playing with water so he had a full change of clothes. unfortunately, i was stuck in the most horrendous traffic jam coming home from work and he was fast asleep when i finally got home an hour late he's still asleep now so when he does wake up, will have forgotten he hasnt seen me since 8.30am

Poppy is still in a cot and has never once attempted an escape! Its a cotbed so quite big. She just lies and reads a book shouting 'Mummy, I'm shouting you, Mummy' when she wakes .

We hired one of those side thingys for her bed whilst away and its the first time she has slept without bars . She didn't even get out when she woke even though she was free!

Jillie - the fab thing about being a mummy is that it doesn't matter that K hasn't seen you - he will just be happy that you are there. xx

We could have been victims of the cuts (they were practically aimed at us - £639million from transport, freeze on civil service recruitment and employing fewer consultants) but in actual fact, I don't think the government department I work with is efficient enough to get a letter out within 24 hours of the announcement *rolleyes*

I've gotta tell you all but DS is still here so *whispers* he's just said he's changed his mind about moving out!

Just sitting down now! That will teach me to do an ASDA shop after work! And that was with OH doing the bottles, emptying the dishwasher & entertaining J while I ate my tea. :A

Jack has been an absolute darling this evening despite not going to bed until 9pm, he was up at 2am and 5.30am and bottles were the only thing to settle him. Am wondering whether he was just wanting my attention but he's not been having his afternoon bottle at creche so may have been hungry.

He's had a 7oz bottle at 7.30pm and I've just given him a 6oz dream feed so I'm hoping for a few hours at least!

First proper day was OK, I'm a bit confused though as the role isn't quite what I thought but no-one has time to sit down and tell me what it is exactly! Ended up at a seminar and saw loads of people I knew but was dead chuffed they didn't recognise me - I am now a Yummy Working Mummy :j

Elle - thanks for your text again, my battery died and is currently charging (realised its the only contact number creche have for me :doh:)

Sparkle - thanks for the text - see above for reason for non response

I've not read back, I'm going to bed now but I did nip back and see MFD's post. Sorry hun, this blimming tender has been going on and on in fact I remember you get a super important phone call when we met for the first time when Jack was 2 weeks old!
I really hope you get something sorted out so you have some peace of mind and a good while not having to worry about your situation :grouphug:

hi everyone

MFD - honestly, so gutted for you. i have been trying to think of some way of saying just how sorry i am for you, but can't find the words. just hope you know me well enough to know what i mean.

i could be in a similar situation next year....we are in line with the cuts also. have just been awarded a contract that was meant to be for 3 years, although now they will have to be tendered for again next year and they have said only 25% of those that hold a contract now will be getting one next year.

off to have a read back

Just popped back to check out the pic and thought 'Ooooo Tara has posted a piccie of a LO that looks just like Dora's Daniel'
Doh! It's really time for bed I think. Glad you had a lovely meet and Dora I agree with MFD, you are lovely.
