    Elasti, I lost half a stone in a couple of weeks on the Slimming World Diet. I've never dieted before and am terrible at not making a proper lunch. I had to eat more, lots more and it really worked, and even though I went straight back to eating as I was before I've put none of it back on.
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    Well done Becles!!!

    We had a strange night here so I'm tired today, just hoping the jabs today don't unsettle him too much too.

    It's hurting feeding again this morning, more one side and Alfie is fussing a bit. It almost seems like there's not enough milk but if I squeeze then some comes out :confused: Sorry if you're just having your breakfast!
    Do you think he might be teething? Edgar fed funny while teething after for a while after they came through and he was getting used to them. it was quite painful at times and I had to persevere with taking him off and on at times to get his latch back properly but it wasn't a long time before it was sorted :)

    I totally forgot to put Happy Birthday Jayden in my post last night :doh: I hope he cheered up after opening his card, bless him that photo made me chuckle :p

    Anyone planning to go to Alton towers/legoland/sealife centre etc in the holidays there is a voucher book being sent out with the tesco clubcard statement with 3 x 1 free entry with a full paying adult vouchers along with lots of other extra points and money off vouchers.

    Hope all hubby's are confirmed to be in fine fettle soon! :)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Is he feeding more than he has been? Occasionally Alice used to feed more (it kind of went up and down but the overall trend was down) I would start to get a little bit sore.

    No not feeding more. (I forgot to feed him yesterday afternoon and he went 5 hours in between feeds)

    Fernliebee yes that might be it, being lazy. Next feed I'll take him off and try him again to see if it helps.

    Happy Birthday to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D:D:D

    Happy birthday chick! You have any nice plans for tonight or the weekend to celebrate?

    Elasti that 's a lovely dress, not sure about dieting tips but hope you can feel good in it in time for the wedding.

    Jabs went ok, A cried just for a couple of minutes and fine now. Hasn't put on much weight though so has dropped a centile. Has still put some on though so I guess I don't need to worry. I knew he must be reasonably small as some 0-3 month clothes still fit and he was 4 months yesterday.

    Morning everyone, hope everyones ok?

    Sami with the clubcard vouchers all the ones ive seen on ebay have said they'll send off for the 'reward' then forward it onto buyer, so you may need to do it that way,

    magic knickers/spanx- ive got lots lol, the best ones ive got are from m&s, ive got some from very too, also those tummy clincher ones, where its just like a corset for the stomach lol, they'r no good if the dress is slinky or at all tight cos they have like bra strap hooks that you can see through the outfit,

    beenie - hope you're ok if your lurking:)

    Happy birthday glam!

    Sorry and hope all OHs are ok. (Knew there was something else!)

    Sami yes I think he is teething, no red cheeks but A LOT of dribbling going on! Also chewing on anything that goes near his mouth and I can see one white dot on his gum at the bottom.

    SJ, from what I can remember a lot of ours dropped a centile at one point or another. Maddy was quite big born but I think she's going to end up being diddy-ish, which I love.

    Also the fairies will most likely have a Alton Towers family pass coming up shortly...I got an e-mail I won one through a competition, but it's no good to us. I'll post something when it comes in the post as I don't want to offer it in case it fails to come through!

    Good news, wm! I need to find my calculator and sit down and sort out if this year's are worth phoning about. :cool:

    I have the tummy/waist nipper one. I got it to wear under trousers, but it's so shiny that the trousers were slipping down all the time and I spent the entire wedding pulling them up! You need to wear a belt I think.

    Yaaay!! :j Great news. I think you are quite pleased ha ha.

    I have been phoning them for about 2 weeks and eventually got through yesterday - my phone bill will be sky high. I just wanted to tell them I was on SMP now, but they wanted to know my projected wages for the following year which I hadn't realised and worked out. So I had to hang up and phone them back again today!!!! I have been on hold to them for between 20 and 40 mins most days. They better give me something extra to cover the cost of the bloody phone calls!!

    I am totally confused by how it all works though. They couldn't even tell me if I will get a renewal form as I only started my claim in March so they might not bother. But that was based on elevated figures from the previous year due to an unfair job regrading at work which I won on appeal and therefore got a big backdated lump sum pay rise. So now they have the figures for the coming year, but haven't taken into consideration the actual figures for the past year. Sorry to go on, just really confused!! :think:

    Do we not have a confused smiley anymore or can I just not see it?? :(
