Oh, did I mention before? E has got very keen on the potty... not in a fully practical sense I hasten to add, but he fully approves of sitting on it, whenever he has a nappy change now he demands to go sit on it before his new nappy comes on, and he has in fact peed in it (just as a consequence of sitting on it nekkid for 5 minutes I think)!

He is sitting on it now in front of the TV...

We sort of thought that acclimating him to it in a low-key no pressure manner from early on might be an ok approach, and by the time baby02 comes we'd be clear on whether he was ready yet and either get it out the way before or wait til well after, rather than wanting to try it out at the same time as we have a newborn.
Dunno if this approach will work but he is enthusiastic so far! But very early days.

Edit: SS I disapprove of your FB friend on principle, as she has the same first and last name as my wife! :eek: tsk

We did a similar thing with Chris and the potty, I decided to not make any attempt to PT him before Edgar arrived as I heard it is very common that a PT'd child will regress with the arrival of a new sibling (not sure how true that is but I figured I'd avoid just in case ) As it turned out we PT'd when Edgar was very small, it was very much a non event though and sorted within 7-10days
My best friend found it very hard as her youngest was crawling age when the older one was PT'ing - crawling babies and pottys of wee are a dangerous combo!

Still no word from the Mura ebay lady Tho I have spied another one now on a buy it now for £135 its only 2 months old and am soooooooooo tempted. Tho its still a second hand pushchair so am in two minds but have kinda got my heart set on one now.

Had to take fur ball to he vets last night as he has had a gammy eye for a week or so now, turns out he has conjuntivitis so that cost us £50! He's a bu99er to get eye drops in tho so am having to get OH to muzzle him using a towel wrappped around his mouth while I put the drops in.

I say go for it I was a bit snobby about 2nd hand but I forced myself out of it when I spied a £120 buggy for £75 that had only been used for a month, the only evidence it had been used was that the wheels weren't all smooth but they loose that with one or two uses anyway;)
Could you sneak the eye drops in while he's asleep? It worked on Edgar when he was a baby (you know coz babies are just like cats/dogs aren't they )

Also, apropos of the discussion last night, Fox News is reporting that Gisele Bundchen breastfed for three weeks and then stopped. So I think we can safely ignore her, yes?

oh well seeing as she has broken her proposed law, she is clearly an unfit mother, maybe her baby would be better in the hands of someone who will BF it Silly cow, I want to slap her with a big slimy fish!



Has anyone mentioned the B'ham meet to xmaslolly? I think she's relatively local

My OH would think that if he waited she might stop crying too. I found kicking him till he either objected or got out of bed was quite effective.

:rotfl:Tht was going to be my advice too just keep giving him a kick/jab to the kidneys/poke to the face until the silly man realises its easier to get up straight away next time:cool:
I'm definitely a fan of the stick not carrot

Its true. Lily is always follwing flys with her head. And if DH taps his foot when Lily is on the floor she leaps on it and starts to play with his foot, when he stops tapping she gets bored. When he starts tapping again she attacks it again.

She also licks things...

Jillie, i looked on ebays help centre but i cant find anything. She's not angry or anything, it was a really nice message. Infact she said she was sad

MFD, the colour seems to make a difference to resell price but this black one sold for £150 a few days ago, x

It is a black one with a black chassis. How do you find past auctions? I am such an ebay dimwit!

I text hubby about it earlier and he has gone quiet on me so I guess he is going to say no in person later!!!

Thing is I have bought so many expensive things on the promise that I will ebay them later and make most of the money back...and then never ebay anything!!

Krystaltips

Lol Mfd, I was just mentioning it to hubby and he was all "so you want to sell one pushchair and buy another?" <disapproving look>

He's just been signed off work for a week after being violated by the Dr... He's been referred for an urgent camera investigation...

Evansangel

Is this ok to send back to her?

Hi S*****,
I am so sorry about this. When i bought them they were listed as Ivory but not thinking i put down white as my wedding dress was white and they matched haha.
If you return the item to me i will send you a full refund and also refund your return postage costs.
If you like the style of the bouquet, i bought it from this ebay shop. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/theessexweddingflower
