    Aarrgghh!!! Epic nap yesterday led to a crap night for me :( I could cope with the lack of sleep if it weren't for the fact that I'm away at my mums this weekend which means 2 things lots of driving and more lack of sleep! Oh and jabs today :( So I will be trying to do the immpossible (for me anyhoo) and have a nap this afternoon and a very early night by going to bed at 8.30 when T does. Busy day ahead as I need to work out what I need to take to Mums for T, probably not much other than clothes and travel cot as I said we would pop to Sainburys and buy nappies and toiletries plus dog food when we get there. Need to iron mine and OHs clothes, and he wants to pop and get his haircut before we visit his mum as she is going on holiday for a week (this does mean fish and chips for tea tho :D)

    Does anyone here have a Zafira? My Stepdad has hired one for us to drive to theirs in and then onto my uncles so we can all travel together. How big is the boot with the back seats up? Is it non exsistent?

    Forgot to mention yesterday at baby massage the HV gave us all a Doidy cup each :D Has anyone used one and are they any good? the idea seems good.

    Right need to get my butt in gear, feel free to send me some motivational vibes for the next few hours and then sleep vibes for later.

    Morning

    Another busy day at work ahead and I'm off to boot camp this evening. Josh is making chicken curry in cookery at school though, so that saves me a job later :D

    Have a good day all xx

    Morning,

    Hope your back improves Csh. Mine is killing me at the moment. Mainly due to Holly waking at 1am most nights and me ending up sleeping in the spare room with her - the mattress is rubbish. Might need to buy a new one. It's making it difficult to pick H up though.

    I went to a chiropractor a few years ago. It was for my shoulder rather than my back, although it's amazing how everything is connected. My shoulder was much improved after a few sessions, however I had also started exercising and changed my job which was aggravating it so I was never sure if it was the chiropractor or not.

    Is yours Aussie? They are all Aussie in Glasgow I think!

    Aw sorry people didn't get great sleeps.

    Jack's been having bottles at 7.30pm, 12.30am and 4am last few nights but at least he goes straight back to sleep afterwards. He doesn't have any other bottles but I don't know how to change it so he has them at 7am, afternoon and bedtime! So far I have tried

    - Goodnight Milk then.....
    - Changed to Hungry Baby Milk for all 3 bottles (still can't go more than 4hrs!)
    - Giving him Weetabix around 6.30pm
    - Putting a rusk in his bottle
    - Offering water
    - Not feeding him

    Nothing works and I've been at it for a good 2 weeks!! It's like having a newborn again, except that he's such a wriggle bum that I woke up at 5am and he was lying lengthways across the top of the spare bed with his bum in my face NICE!! Every night I say I'll put him in his cot after the bottle bu because he rolls over and drops straight off I don't want to disturb him.

    I think people should take the UK test if they want to drive over here, we have a different Highway Code that people should learn like I have! :p

    Sugar - hope you're OK :)
