    Congrats Gym.

    Unsettled baby today but she has gone to sleep now - first time she has really cried for more than a couple of mins forgotten how stressful it is. First week of the holidays survived 5 and a half to go.

    :rotfl: I'll tune in some time and see if I can catch this guy in action.

    Rachel won it 2 or 3 years ago - she was the Welsh girl who beat the blind guy in the final two.

    Ah I see, I didnt watch that series lol :rotfl:

    Gym - Thanks for the offer :) I am going to try them on E when he gets back from my mams tomorrow lol cos loads of people have told me they might still fit him

    CONGRATS MR AND MRS GYMFIEND :) I am going to the lakes in oct and am scared/worried/not sure how E is going to be lol

    Gill - Thanks for the offer, I'll see if these fit E when he comes back and if not them yes please lol

    Well ive just text mam to see how she was getting on, and she rang and all appears to be well so far lol, (we fed him his pear puree and then he had a bottle of milk (9oz) at 5pm) I told mam E goes to bed at half 7 so she tried him on a bottle before bed and he only took 3oz but then he did go to bed at 7.45pm and as far as I know he is still in bed asleep lol

    Oh and Ive just bought these from asda http://direct.asda.com/george/women-s-clothing/character-shop/grumpy-dopey-pyjamas/GEM46571,default,pd.html soooooooooooooooo comfy

    3 I can't believe what happened on your hols, how utterly ridiculous. Have you posted the story online anywhere else? i.e. so when people google the company your review would come up? Sorry if you have but I've not managed to read back much.

    Congratulations Gym! :T:T

    I've not posted the story anywhere yet - but I intend to once i've had my refund.

    EA I hope your Dad is ok. :grouphug:

    Glam :mad::eek: at your nursery. :(


    I really need to get in the shower, but me & the big ones have just had indian takeaway for tea and I can't be bothered moving.

    Kindof - just thought, my Asda ones are size 3s. Do you want me to send you a couple in the post? I think they go up to 20lbs. They're like little pants that you pull on.

    Huge congrats Gymfiend - can we see some pics please?

    Glam - those nursery prices are extortionate

    I need to start looking at nurserys soon :( Most of the ones I've seen say 8am - 6pm. I don't get out of work until 5.45 so it's touch and go that I'll get there for 6 - does anyone know if in general they give you a bit of leeway? Ie would it be a problem if I didnt get there until 10 past? I might have to look at one near where I work rather than near where I live.

    Mine shuts at 5.45pm and is £5 for every 15 mins after that.
    Can you not change your working hours?

    Most local nurseries range from £27 to £36 so that will be going in the letter as well.

    MIL has said that the Local Health Board in West Wales is crying out for experienced NHS managers and her friends uncle is one of the guys in charge so she's gonna get me more info. MIL is dropping down to 4 days a week so we'd have 1 day's childcare sorted ;)
    The Welsh Government rocks compared to these cowboys. :cool:

    ETA _ I decided to multi task and cook and post at the same time ;)

    Aw, poor thing. What do you think is unsettling her?

    EA hope your dad is okay. Does he live on his own? Is there anyone else who could pop in to visit him without it looking weird?

    <rant>Silly woman on eBay. She bought three things on BIN early Wednesday morning and asked me for an invoice with reduced postage even though the listing was set up to do it automatically. I sent her the invoie staright away. Thursday she messages me again asking for an invoice. I say I've sent one but if she doesn't have it, she can still pay as eBay automatically calculates the reduced postage. Today she still hadn't paid so I sent her another invoice. She paid at two this afternoon then sent me a message asking if I could post them today because she's going on holiday on Sunday and wants to take them with her. She takes 54 hours to pay even though she could have paid straight away and then expects me to post within three hours as if I was sitting online all day waiting for her to pay so I could run out and post it. </rant>
