    That sounds a nightmare Glam. I still can't complain about Holly. She wakes up but isn't hungry. She just wants to have fun with us! And she generally goes back to sleep in the bed with me pretty quickly. It's just the lying her down in her cot that causes her to cry. She goes for naps no probs during the day, but putting her to bed, or if she wakes up during the night, she just doesn't want to be in her cot. Sometimes it's wind, but sometimes it's just wanting to be with us. It's never hunger. She never wakes up hungry in the morning.


    Kieren wakes for a bottle anytime between 3-6am. He goes straight off after.
    He wakes every half hour- hour randomly through the night after midnight though, usually because he has wriggled up and banging his head of the cot or stuck at the side and hes trying to roll.
    Last week it was roasting and he had no sleeping bag, just a wide striped next sleepsuit. He was on his front, half sleeping but crying, right in the top corner of the cot with his legs pulled up under him trying to crawl away through the bars. With the stripes he looked like a tiny convict trying to escape! Was funny, even at 2am!

    I really don't want to resort to surgery, but I can't cope with it any longer. I bought a 34JJ bra the other day! I can't get anything to fit me. :(

    I will definitely stop moaning about mine now. Also, if you really can lose the weight you want, these should go down a bit. Hopefully. :o Well, mine went up when I gained weight over the past few years so the reverse should be true, right?

    I've always had a dodgy back for as long as I can remember, but just put up with it. I put it down to having such ample bosoms. I have been trying to pluck up the courage all week to phone the docs to discuss breast reduction surgery to see what my chances are of getting it on the NHS. I really don't want to resort to surgery, but I can't cope with it any longer. I bought a 34JJ bra the other day! I can't get anything to fit me. :(

    Right, think H needs a nappy change, then a nap before Baby Sensory. Better go and get her out of the Antilop (I caved in and bought 2!!! :rotfl:)


    I've just put up with mine too, but I can't actually walk now as my right leg is gammy. Have lost the range of movement at the lower spine on that side!

    Have a rake online and see if you can find the guideline criteria for the surgery. If you are a certain bra size and are within the BMI that they set the GP can refer you on, Its not up to the GP to decide. They just write the referral then you get an app with a psychologist person andits up to them, can take up to a yr for this. From here you get app with surgeon, then on the list for surgery then done and dusted within 16 wks!

    It's a bit stupid they take BMI into consideration... You could be 3ft tall with huuuuuuuuuge bazooms... Your BMI is always going to be too high because of the size of the norks... They should really do it on waist size or something else...

    Caitlyn's got my camera, it just flashed so I think she's taken a picture of her own chin lol... She's got her MMR in half an hour... She's already miserable so I doubt it will improve her mood much... :rolleyes: Off to the cradle club after that I think... One of the girls from my newborn group is starting to go, and seeing as we both will be leaving the newborn group soon, and I think she'd be a cool friend... I'm stalking her a little... ;)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    :rotfl: I haven't trid but I'm guessing I could hold the 2 remote controls that are next to me here. (EDIT have tried, can hold :rotfl:)

    Glad to hear Wee James is doing better. Sounds terrible for him yesterday before the op. Hugs for family too as they probably need them just now.

    Glam that pic from OH/ Jack is lovely! What a happy smiley boy you have (even if he does keep you up at night!)

    Well I think we were only up once in the night. I know A woke up again about 6am and I'm pretty sure I just ignored him and we both went back to sleep to be I can't remember 100% ! I have wondered whether sometimes he just wakes and would fall back to sleep himself as he never cries, just shouts. I might try ignoring him the first time and see what happens tonight.

    It does seem pointless, especially if you don't agree with BMI anyway but at the same time, someone asking for a reduction when 10 st overweight when the size of chest would be reduced with weightloss is a waste of resourses IMO. Weight is always a factor in any non esential surgery due to risk of anethestic (sp!)
    ps I've heard that breasts don't weight as much as we think they do anyway! I'm sure Glam said that too after her surgery?? Or am I making that up??
