    MFD, the powders help more with the digestive upsets than pain, worth a try.

    Can't remember when you give them tbh, the pack should say.

    How did you get on with the nappy rash while I remember?

    Beenie, we have those teats! He loves his MAM soothers so I tried the teats (since we don't do well with bottles here) and he doesn't cry the house down with them :T :T (still doesn't drink much but at least it's progress). They're very silky and I think he likes the flat shape (unlike the TT which are round). Highly recommended :D.

    Stonking headache, should prolly just go to bed...

    I saw that Beenie, I don't think he really smokes 40 a day, the family wouldn't be bale to afford it. Watching the video it doesn't look like he is inhaling it. Looks more like a media stunt, they have taught him to do that as a party trick.

    It is still disgusting though! :mad:

    He is inhaling it :( u can see at 27 seconds that he's inhaling it, its so sad :(

    MFD - you would be fab on the Apprentice! I demand you fill the forms in!

    CSH - I commute 12 miles to work, down the motorway. It's not particularly busy when I leave at 8am but with the drop off at creche its taking me 40minutes! Doesn't help I have a good 5 minute walk from the car park over to the office block! Will keep me fit but none of my shoes fit properly so I keep getting sore feet!

    OH commutes about 20 miles and it takes him 30minutes - again mainly motorway.

    Boo - fantastic news for boobies!

    GISI - go henry taking forumla no problems!

    Beenie - lovely pics of Amber :)

    Have been keeping up when I can but it's pretty much constant on the go from 6.30am until about 10pm! Roll on Friday. Got a good routine going on in the morning although I now dress Jack last as he keeps pooping just before we go and yesterday it resulted in a full change of clothes :cool:

    He LOVES creche now! :D Am so pleased, he's itching to go in first thing and now waves me off when I leave! Today is the first day he's eaten all of his 3 meals and the little piglet even had tea with us as well! Still not having his afternoon bottle so scrapping it as its not fair on the girls to spend so much time trying and a huge waste of formula.

    Bit bored still cos I've kind of just been left to it, no one's covered the role for over a year and the last woman has caused a right atmosphere between the practices and where I work so it's going to be fun rebuilding them :cool:

    Oh and the most MSE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Worked out that I save £190 in tax and NI by paying creche fees thru work, add the £80 CTC to that and it works out we only need to pay half the actual fess so it works out around £16 a day! :j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    I'm off to pop the chilli I just cooked in the freezer and finish off my lunchbox and then try to get an early night.

    LOL at everyone winning SS's stuff - bet you wish you'd said nothing about the surprises now! :rotfl:

    Was clearing nicely with the aid of AF's miracle Aussie powder...but the last few days of (TMI) watery/mucousy poops have made it very sore again. CM got through 8 nappies today trying to keep him clean :(

    Hey chick - why feeling bleurgh? Was just saying that your powder was doing the trick until Benjamin got super-poorly poos and made his bottom sore again (not bleeding now though so still better than before) :A
