    thanks for that its good to know im not the only one! she just doesnt seem interested at all and its not putting her up not down. i put her in her seat at meal times when we are eating but she usually sits or attempts to throw her plate when she wants out. im not really giving her anything inbetween to see if she will become hungry and eat but i think she is drinking more milk to make up for it.
    little girls who'd have them :D

    Hi Bruno,
    Loved the picture you posted a few pages back, super cute!

    Thanks Sparkle :) welcome back!

    MFD, don't take the MIL. It's a nice thought but it's a bridge too far. Do something else nice but smaller!

    I agree with Bruno, a day out or taking her out for dinner would be a lovely gesture, but perhaps not on holiday....

    Hello :) Elliot has spent the morning with a new friend, she's older (4) but they seemed to get on well, he even gave her a hug and kind of took a liking to her pink cup! Hehe! He then spent the afternoon in his cot recovering from all the excitement! :)

    And this is it?????? :(

    SM- I apologise that I haven't come back to you yet. I've been away (still am) and I'm umming and ahhing over whether I can make it or not. To be honest I don't think I will make it. Two main reasons really. Firstly I am working the Wednes and Fri either side, then going away for the weekend Friday night so it would be pretty exhausting. Secondly I don't think it would be particularly fair on H to travel 2.5 hours each way on the train then go to Think Tank where he will be in the buggy most of the time. I think that it looks like a fab venue for slightly older children but I think H is a bit too young. I'm gutted as I would like to meet folks, but I just don't think I can do it this time.

    Only way I'd go on holiday with family is in seperate accommodation then only getting together at breakfast and in the evening, days would be spent pleasing ourselves.

    MFD I agree with everyone else do something really lovely with her just before you go.

    Tara, I have no idea what you're going on about hun? You're obviously upset about something but is it worth it?

    I'm feeling very confused too. I'm not coming to birmingham as it's too far for me to drive on my own with a 3 month old. I honestly realise I was offending anyone by not responding so apologies if I have! I dont remember everyone not coming to the Manchestern meet saying that they weren't or why, I thought it was just assumed that if it wasnt your area u weren't unless u said otherwise!

    I've also not seen SM get a hard time - from what I've seen she's lovely and friendly and everyone seems to like her. I don't know Tara well but everyone seems to like her too - just look at hen do response!

    Thanks MDW, I'm actually in quite angry at the lack of response to SM's efforts. I know some have given their reasons and that's lovely of them to explain but I can't believe with so many on this thread and looking at the time and effort some are putting in, train from London is amazing, that this is all that are coming?
    I would quite willingly put in the effort of four hours each way as a day trip but it wouldn't be fair on Alice and when I would already be spending around £45 just on petrol I just couldn't justify spending money to stay overnight to break the journey up and trains would be extortionate too as I looked last year when there was discussion of a potential meet in Birmingham. It's possible that some people have reasons for not coming which they don't want to say in public on the thread for whatever reason. Or if they just plain don't want to meet they might feel it more polite to just not say anything.
    Any question, comment or opinion is not intended to be criticism of anyone else.

    Red - I always found that Benjamin was fine on the day of his jabs, and perhaps for a couple of days later but then he was crabby and that his crabbiness could last up to 10 days :(

    No wonder T has been such a PITA this last week lol. His teeth are still bothering him too :( And he hasnt done a single poo today :eek:

    Redstar - glad Freddie's jabs went ok

    Sparkle 0- thanks for the reminder, i forgot I need to wash my hair tonight lol

    bad luck Gill - Freddie keeps dribbling and jamming his fists in his mouth too, so I'm assuming that we're starting teething too.
