    Never mind our breasts going south I've just seen a device to put your hips back to their pre preg size but it can only be worn upto 8 weeks post partum it woould be too late for me by the time I scraped the £50. http://www.thebabycatalogue.com/ShrinkxHips/productinfo/G699/
    Wasn't worried about my hips being permantly enormous until now - will add it to my list of body parts to be concerned about lol.

    ps Pevlic Floor Muscles or lack of them are still my number one concern:eek:

    Dare I say that in Lucy's situation, I would breastfeed just so I could keep baby to myself at times! In the nicest way, I would be...uhm... I think my mummy tigress instinct would kick in and probably the best way to mark your baby as your own is to be the only one to feed him or her. Actually I shold have put that in the BF questionnaire. I like BF cos my baby is ALL MINNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

    I have a kitchen to clean, washing to sort out, a house to hoover, a car to clean out and empty of wood, packing to do.... and I can't be arsed.

    I got metunium (?) nappy rash stuff,it stinks and went everywhere! And it felt warm when I was putting it on? Went on the thoery that if sudocreme worked for DS1 but bapanthen worked for DS2 then Amber would need something different again.

    EA, my new bed is still in boxes in the hall; and my new mattress is being used as a boucy wall!

    But the loft is almost done. well, bedroom and stairs area is almost done, en suite will be left inside till after Christmas. So we have 1 ensuite wall to build, the storage area to plasterboard, a door to hang and then its onto plastering, painting, carpeting, decorating and finally..... building my bed and moving in!

    Then carpet the kids rooms, box in the boiler,move them about, decorate the main stairs and hallway.... new kitchen, driveway, livingroom, bathroom... grow old and move to an old folks home.

    Hi everyone
    At the moment I'm using at the Johnson's bedtime range...talc, lotion, oil, bath stuff; etc. Anyway, it's quite expensive :money:and I believe that it works(!):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: (I'll just keep in saying that to myself!!) Does anybody know the cheapest place to buy it and/or available vouchers?
    Many thanks!

    Thanks for all the nappy advice guys, I'm very grateful for the offers of samples, It's also nice to know that it's happened frequently to lots of other people too - in the nicest possible way lol.

    Lots of vibes for wee James, and good news about Kian Jillie.

    T has been a bit strange and out of sorts all day. I had a real paranoid mummy moment this afternoon. T started screaming in the car on our way back from Warrington so I ended up turning round and going to Mothercare to sort him out. Turned out he'd had a nappy leak. He was in such a state in the changing room, I've never heard him scream like that before. When I was changing his vest I noticed it was damp on the back (sweaty) and he had a pinpr1ck rash all over his tummy, legs, and shoulders. I got really paranoid that something was wrong (he had his 2nd lot of jabs 2 days ago) so I went and asked if they had a thermometer/first aider to take his temp :o:o (I had to drive back to Manc at rush hour which added to my worry as I couldn't keep an eye on him)

    The SA said they didnt but they had some selfcheck thermometers to do myself. With hindsite I suspect she meant me to buy one but I was in a bit of a state and didnt really get that lol She sent me to speak to someone else. When I explained she opened a new thermometer (one of the feverscan ones) and let me take his temp....which was fine thank goodness....and then said I may as well keep the thermometer! She was very nice and reassuring and didnt make me feel silly at all :T I want to write a letter to Mothercare praising her but I'm worried she might get into trouble for opening and letting me keep a thermometer!

    T has gone to bed in his big cot tonight. He's settled straight away and is fast asleep :j He's still in our room but against the wall now so I'll have to get out of bed when he wakes up :(

    There's another two baby clubs to join - I'm sorry you'll have to google them as laptop battery is nearly dead
