Nope the next 2 letters arent the same, I thought it was choppy but its not... think she is old PT....Only Sami and SB are friends with her apart from me!

I'm intrigued now! I had to go and stalk. Is it the Na Ro one?

She has a baby Oscar born in June 2008 - so she's before my time on the PT.

Was coming out of lurking mode to say NR is me but it isn't (well it is, but the one Maz is talking about isn't

I'm going to try and come to the meet if you'll have me, as I know I'm not around very much anymore. I've only met Elle and Claire so far, so it'll be nice to meet some more of you.

It's only £12 return by train (plus the £7.20 parking!) or I could drive. I work Thursdays, so will try and book it off. My boss is on holiday until that week though, so I won't see him until the 10th, so it may be a bit short notice.

Before I dash off again for a day full of errands...

Good luck today MFD

Hope all the poorly babies feel better soon

Congratulations MOTM and Lucy.

Mel - counselling might be a help to you - having someone neutral to talk to? (And if it doesn't help you don't have to keep it up!) But you can talk to us too if you want! Or go sign up with another mums forum just to ask your question? (but don't leave us )

MOTM I hope the tears aren't over anything too drastic!

Hopefully Mel will be back soon. I'll close my eyes if it's too female for male viewing :doh:

Everyone is so excited about the baby, 11yo called Lucy the 'M' word, realised her mistake and ran to her room in tears :doh: and when Lucy let her know it was okay, went in the opposite direction and said everything possible to ensure Lucy knew it was a mistake She's okay today and we'll have a chat with her later.

Is anyone doing the Best Western Hotel Facebook competitions today?

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Best-Western-GB/86668271056#!/event.php?eid=332704862488&index=1

I'VE JUST WON 2 NIGHTS DINNER BED AND BREAKFAST AT THE CASTLE GREEN HOTEL, KENDAL/WINDEMERE. :j:j:j

My luck is on the up.

:TI had a feeling the opportunity to entice Mr '3' into thinking about number '4' was just around the corner

MOTM - Oh dear, I hope Lucy is OK.

She's okay. 11yo is a little sheepish but now running around like a lunatic. Hope you got your sleep last night. 3 hours is not enough for anyone. Even Mrs Thatcher got 4 hours! (Not that i'm comparing you to her)

Morning ladies. Thomas isn't himself again today He had a really good night in his big cot and slept through until 6am, he needed feeding straight away and by 8am was asleep again in his swings. No smiles or anything inbetween just a lot of whinging. His hand was in his mouth a lot so I'm wondering if it's his teeth bothering him again.

Another poorly one Hope Thomas feels better soon.

Congratulations MOTM and Lucy.

Come out of lurking mode and tell us what you and yours are up too (when you aren't full of errands - or even take a break from them!)

And thanks:)

Cant believe it.
In portsmouth i have a 2 bedroom, 2 reception terraced house for £600 pcm.

In west Yorkshire i could have a 4 bedroom cottage for £600 pcm! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-25557277.html?showcase=true

**vibes for little James**

You think thats bad! you'd be lucky to find a studio flat or rent a room for that around here! I keep telling OH we need to move to near my Mum in Derbyshire as we could get a big 3 bed for what we pay for our one bed.

MOTM - not normal for me to be that active first thing (well not post pg). Id like to get back into that routine though as it makes the day ahead so much easier, and gives me the rest of the day to myself.

boogelly - lots of healthy vibes for wee James x Oh and a huge welldone to mum for the great work expressing.

Jenny - thanks for that we already have a cot tho and if we didnt wouldnt have room for it to bedside anyhoo, but will remember that if were lucky enough to have another bubs.

And a big thanks for the other comments on co sleeping seems there is no magic answer other than winning the lottery and buying a mahoosive bed lol.

Emlou - thanking thee for the mypal scout link I wanted violet for T and on looking at sainsburys find they have that too and she is 35p cheaper too hehe, I think I may go look in our local store before ordering tho.

Am contemplating doing the WW diet by cheating and buying the books off ebay and just having a weigh in on MILs new WW scales every Wednesday when I visit her, anyone who's ever done WW do you think this is feesable?

Jillie - get well vibes for K x

SS - eeewww breast warts!!! Surely they should have a much lovlier name x

gill - speaking as a mothercare employee I dont think she would get in trouble at all and its always lovely to get compliment letters.

MFD - hope the interview is going well.

Tara - vibes for poppy too x

On the subject of more babies I know OH would really like a little boy but keeps telling me he knows we'll have another girl, I think its his way of avoiding dissapointment lol. Though he loves his little girl and know hed be happy either way. On that front only a few more weeks to go before we officially start trying for no 2 I just hope it doesnt take another 6 years and/or ivf again. Anyone know what the chances are if my AF hasn't returned yet, I really dont want to give up BF yet.

I have a baby who doesnt want to be one, she is desperatley trying to master crawling :eek: Someone tell her thats not normal for 4 1/2 months! We have a king size fleece laid out on the floor and she can caterpillar crawl from one side to the other no probs. She even took her toy with her a minute ago too. And she doesnt like being on her back no matter where you put her, its tummy all the way, even in the bouncer!!

Right off to entertain her, hope everyones morning is off to a good start so far and sorry for the epic post but I had some time for a change.

:jyep thats the one....

Thanks MOTM - Jack woke up at 12.30am and I hadn't dropped off to sleep. Spent 45mins trying NOT to give him a bottle, but he was having none of it so I gave in and he was wide awake at 5am for 30mins. So 4.5hrs sleep. I feel OK though

Som - we occasionally co-sleep when Jack is teething usually. I either let him sleep in the middle of the 2 of us but OH has a habit of rolling over and almost squashing him or Jack spends the night kicking OH in the back :rotfl:OR he sleeps next to me on the edge of the bed and I have my arm under his head so he can't roll, VERY uncomfy! We slept in the spare room last night and Jack has most of the bed to himself - he likes to move about alot!

MOTM - Oh poor DD, I bet she was embarrassed and then went a bit far in trying to cover it up. Glad all sorted now.

Mel - if you are lurking, hope you are OK.

3 - Well done on your win

MFD - Hope it went OK.

Vibes for James and Poppy xx

I've never used talc on either of mine... I don't really see what benefit it would be?

And I'd certainly never dream about putting it on little bits... Have you seen how it cakes up when it's wet?!

When I am changing E's nappy, we use wipes and then pat him dry with a flannel and then put talc on his bum, its stopped him ever having nappy rash *shrugs*

Gill - No problem

So am I the only person admitting to using talc then? I see no problems with it (on a boy) if its put into the parents hand away from baby and then gently rubbed on his bum

Or I would like tips on changing his bum them? cos the wipes make his bum moist so it needs drying with soemthing

I'm off to make E some carrot puree
