    Congrats pigpen!

    All you lot with November babies have scared me away! Erin still isn't eating much, loads goes in her mouth but just falls out later- sometimes much later! But in general I know she is fine so not too worried.

    Jenny it's only the last fortnight it's really clicked with Isla, lots is still on the floor and some meals I think it would have been easier to scatter it there myself from the start as nothing goes in! Breakfast is normally a winner, dinner is hit and miss and as daddy is here at tea time it's often ignored to grin/gurn at her daddy.

    I'm off too ladies, night all.

    Thanks Boo, Erin doesn't do breakfast or lunch it's only dinner she will attempt which I find strange as my favourite meal is breakfast. It's really depressing sometimes seeing the amount of food wasted on the floor but at least at dinner most of it gets played, sometimes at breakfast she wont even touch it. Had some success with scrambled eggs the other day and spaghetti bolognese yesterday - we keep trying :)

    Am on my phone catching up, so this hopefully will be short. Otherwise the internet will die lol.
    Aless, Lily sleeps from 8pm, but we take her upto bed with us at 10. She sleeps in her rocker chair in its laying flat position.

    Som, im hopefully starting driving lessons when our deposit comes back.

    Bruno, good luck for your scan today! Hope baby opens its legs for you :rotfl:
    Happy birthday to Miss Molly, Becles and Amelie :)
    Going out soon with Lilys cousin, so 'see' you all later.

    Just to reasure you EA, Erin used to stay with us in the evenings until she was about 5 months. She would feed lots and generally settle for the night herself around 10pm and we were fine having her with us so it wasn't a problem. As she got older we wanted the evening to ourselves more and we felt she needed more sleep so we started putting her to bed earlier but have found 9pm to be the optimum to have her asleep by but then we are night owls in noo land ;) so just do whatever works for you.

    I love reading the chatter from November mummies, because it's what i look forward to in a month's time. :D

    My AF came back in June, but then didn't have it last month, so I guess it's still settling down. Just in the past week, Finn seems to be leaning towards dropping his late morning feed, which i guess means he's getting more food. I'm wondering when to attempt nothing in the night - or is that not for a while? I can't really tell if it's habit or still genuine hunger still!

    Congrats pigpn! Harley, we've missed u! Beenie, come back and say how Amber's doing!

    Seems quiet from a bunch of people lately...tia, elle haven't been posting much.

  • Morning. I'm up at stupid o'clock as I'm off to work this morning :eek:. It is so peaceful here though as OH and H are still in bed.

    Susan- that quote made me :eek:.

    Aless- I still feed H at night if he wakes up, which isn't that often but maybe once a week or so. He still takes quite a lot of milk if he does wake, so I assume he must be hungry rather than comfort sucking. It doesn't bother me to feed him and it doesn't seem to make him wake more often so I'm happy to stick with it.

    I'm pleased MSE is down for two hours when I will be at work anyway :rotfl:.

    Early mornings on non school days, who's the fool eh? Couldn't get back to sleep so got up an hour early. May as well sort some breakfast out for folks.

    Lucy is going into work this morning to finalise her leaving as another part timer is taking the extra hours. She's a little sad, but relieved. We have the land sale money to live on for a few years, although I want to start my own thing eventually and I need to get someone in to turn the big landing area into a bedroom once the kids go back to school, to cause them as little disruption as possible. Shouldn't be a huge job. Last time the chap I hired took a couple of days, but that's because he didn't mess around, so will look at him again as he was good.

    Then we shall spend the day - whisper it quietly Christmas Shopping. Well, most of the day. It will be the shopping you do for relatives/friends etc that are token gifts. Take the girls out and grab some lunch too and hope the rain stays away as we'll be walking. I'm sure we'll get some other bits too or the girls will be bored :p

    Must get new car sorted ASAP as well. Anyone up to date on cars and whether if I buy a new/used car I can drive it straight away - if it's taxed that is, or do I have to sort out my insurance for the new car first? Been ages since I bought a new motor.

    What has everyone else got planned for today? Anything exciting?

    Happy Birthday to those with Birthdays. Where is Carla btw? I like(d) Carla. Friendly lady. She must have disappeared when I did and never came back. Button? She was here fairly recently, but not so recent.

    Have a nice day all, best go get this breakfast for everyone.

    Congrats pigpen and happy birthday Elijah and Christopher!
    Has anyone seen this about Gisele apologising? Her last comment in this article made me almost as mad as the first comments she made!

    On a similar vein, did anyone see that interview from Chanelle offof Big Brother? She said she's expressing and bottle feeding because she's had some problems but also she doesn't want to be out and have people see her boobs. Eh?! YOU'RE A GLAMOUR MODEL!

    Me too, SJ, and I think Chanelle means "see my boobs without the airbrushing".

    Hmmm playing devil's advocate a bit here but do you think a lot of what she wanted to say was lost in translation? Ie it should be the law because that would have made it easier for her to continue.

    I didn't get that. I think she said something stupid and is backpedalling.

    Feeling slightly better this morning but still :mad:
