    Is it a Muslim festival tonight? There's been this annoying voice on a loud speaker and Islamic sounding music all night -I can only assume it's the mosque down the road. As you can tell I'm posting loads because I'm in the bedroom staying away from OH and don't have the tv!

    3, I would leave the bit out about frightening the other parents unless they bring it up. And maybe also put a bit more about how you have missed out on a holiday that everyone was looking forward to plus the stress etc.

    Thanks Jenny - my brain has been spinning around for days thinking of a reason for them sending us home, and that is the only logical thing I can think of.

    Stress/missing out on a much looked forward to holiday is good. :D

    I just think it's up to them to explain their reasons and the fact that you don't know why you were asked to leave is another example of how bad they have treated you.

    NHS Choices Breastfeeding survey - some strange Qu's IMO plus the annoying fact they call formula feeding bottle feeding :rolleyes: its aimed at all mothers weather you FF from birth or BFed full term :)

    eta - i think the purpose of the survey is supposed to be how the NHS can improve BFing rates

    definitely play up the fact how much you were all looking forward to the holiday and how much you hoped it would help J in the long run and all familly. That you hoped you had found somwhere that you could all holiday together where J would be as welcome as anyone else (ykwim) and could go back in following years. mention the link to the US as well.

    and the stress this has caused you and the upset that their behaviour has caused.

    lovely policewoman been.

    took details and said that another house a few mins away was also broken into last night and that they were disturbed but police have a good description of him/her (cos you never know) and that its prob the same person/people who tried to break into ours.

    DH has txt me to say he doesnt want to go to bed tonight incase they come back.

    What is the most unusual place you have bf in! Lol I put 'in the shower' but I think they wanted public places.

    Jillie, boobie traps? Hope you manage to get some sleep.

    Thanks Jillie, have just let him have purees for nthe rest of today, cannot cope with the mess:o. Thankfully DD has finished school.
    I can't remember if you've said or if I asked earlier (I did intend to :o) when you've given lumpier stuff has it been homemade and or things he's eaten fine previously? I'm just wondering if maybe there is an allergy thing going on?

    I know!! some of the Qu's reminded me of that GMTV survey. I thought it weird that they asked how you were/did feed your child but not how old they are/when you stopped. Surely that is of use/importance esp when considering your views *shrug*
    My 'unusual' place was on a boat on lake windamere - best I could do
    I did tick the yes there is a place I wouldn't BF and I put in a public toilet ;)

    I just took some photos of my boobies for the dispelling myths thing (proving BFing doesn't make them saggy) but was not amused with how bad they looked :o:p I need to take them in the afternoon when they've not been used for 7hrs not after they've been drained me thinks :cool:
