    Haha, i said to DH about the bickiepegs about an hour ago! :D I see some on ebay and it reminded me of them.

    Going to get some tomorrow as he wants to try everything before we resort to teething gels/granules. He is quite anti medicine because he thinks that because he hasn't needed the doctors/dentist/optition in about 10 years then Lily doesn't need it... :S

    We're having chicken with spices, potatoes and courgettes. It's quite nommy, although cardamom is not my favourite thing and there is loads of it in here.

    Sami did you go to the boots at m-brook? if so i might pop along tomorrow!

    Oh by the way boots online have the 6pack of pampers sensitive wipes for £3.66, bargain!! have ordered 6 lots to be delivered to store (free del to store,)
    that I did ;) the huggies were sz4s and 5s, not many left after I bought most of them :p my mum commented on some of the cups i'd got being pink, Chris heard and said are they for girls? so I threw her 'the stare' and pointed out that a cup was a cup and they both shut up :rotfl:

    Did you know that there is a soft play place right next to the barnstormers pub (across from tesco)? Its attached to a nursery I looked at, can't believe I've never spotted it! Not sure on prices but I might go often if its cheap (unlike the one on wingates!!)

    Oh well that's great news. Do you have a time planned for starting to TTC? (If you don't mind me asking)

    Susan - well done on increasing you levels!! what's your secret?
    A prescription of ferrous fumarate. I was going to ask for ferrous fumarate because it has a better uptake level than ferrous sulphate but it's my current GP's default anyway so I didn't need to. I was also having black pudding almost every breakfast up until a couple of weeks ago but I think it was the ferrous fumarate that made the big difference.

    do you have to avoid gluten before 6mths? don't bikipegs have gluten in them? I know they go minging when they've had a good dose of slobber tho! I prefer a cold stick of carrot ;)

    Meant to ask....should the boys really have seperate baths with the possible chicken pox?
    In theory probably yes but since it's a respiratory infection too, it's probably fairly futile.

    I believe that is the current offical line.

    I think that means now ;) I'm sure you said "next cycle" a few weeks ago.

    will you be keeping you the ferrous fumerate throughout the pg then?

    You never know though I swear by black pudding, spring greens and rare steak for staving of anaemia in my pgs :D
    I really hope I get to have another baby, 3rd time around I'll only be having scans no blood tests so morning sickness will be the only bad part of it (hopefully! lol)
    fingers crossed for liitle/no sickness in yours when it happens, I think you had plenty enough last time!
