MFD - wow they do look alike

What a mega catch-up post choppy

Actually, it is me as a baby - they hadn't invented cameras when hubby was teeny tiny - the M6 was still cobbled then!!

NMS - do you notice whether the door bouncers were half price in Hyde? I might have to take a little trip in the morning lol

Maz - if you're about is Boots 6 packs of Pampers wipes for £3.66 the cheapest at the moment? ETA: Just seen MFD's bargains from Asda. Our nearest big Asda is miles away Also, how did you join Pinecone?

Yep the Boots deal is the best at the moment now that Sainsburys half price stint has finished - ETA Tesco selling 6 packs at £9.99!!!! so expensive!!!!

Hope this works its the post that Beenie did (no 915 if it doesnt) it gives you the instructions if I remember correctly

I love baby potato skewers. Boil some baby potatoes, toss in butter or olive oil and some herbs garlic etc then skewer and toast on th BBQ. And fruit chunks on skewers. Pineapple orange apple etc. Shame some cinnamon over the top.

I am in such a mood. The house is a pigsty but I get so a grey that I have to clean it that I don't get actually cleaning it. I hate feeling like this but it's all I ever see
To do recently is feel angry. Or so sad that everything is a struggle. And the holiday was utter crap. Wish we hadn't go e at all it was so bad.

Hugs Tia, you sound really down. I get like that with the cleaning, when it gets really messy I just can't face it but luckily I eventually get to a point where I crack and blitz it This week has been good as MIL is visiting at the weekend so OH has helped me totally clean the flat and it's gleaming now. Recently I've set a rule that I don't leave any dirty dishes before going to bed otherwise it gives me a bad start to the day when I get up and see dishes that need washing. Sorry about your holiday.

Evening,

Had a mega catch up so congratulations, hugs and yay's all round.

We took Katie swimming tonight she was a very grown up girl without a swim nappy, she definitely doesn't like to be held in the water anymore, she was doing everything possible to swim on her own.

She was super funny though as I tried to teach her a new game - Grand Old Duke of York - I did it with her once, she swam to DH and tried to repeat but she only remembered half the words - the final action is being dunked.

We followed it up with a chippy tea!

DH put her to bed in her own room for the first time tonight - only took him an hour!

Has anyone seen the baby gate or bouncer half price? Trafford had loads but all still full price. wonder if it's worth trying again tomorrow? They had 2 different babygates

If you won't need it for a while (?) you can have my door bouncer at the next manc meet, barely used it , can't see me ever using it for any subsequent babies

i saw the door bouncers half price at bolton, they had no gates though.. im half tempted to have a drive to the big asda..

m/brook hasn't got the gates this time, i got mine there for Chris but since they started putting the promo stuff at the front of store they don't seem to have as much.
Tesco have some baby bits on cheapness atm but all i can remember is the little food pots are £1:o

If it's any consolation kindof I still don't know what to do either!! It's only been a recent thing in this house that we are actually able to settle T without feeding which made me wonder if we could have been doing this weeks ago but we didn't try. I used to immediately feed him!!

Now I play it by ear and try to settle him in the night but if he is proper crying and won't respond to me flicking the glowworm on then I tend to feed him, as it seems if he is gonna settle then he quietens down quite quickly and keeps shutting his eyes, even though he fights it for a little bit. Well either that will have helped or confused u even more har har!!

PS T also woke up about 15 mins ago and he settled back down too, I just assume it's where he stirs during his sleep cycles, I wouldn't think it's cos he thinks he's only having a nap, as surely they are much more tired and want to go back to sleep. See, more confusing waffle based on nothing!!

No you made sense lol you didnt confuse me

Well He woke last night at 10.30 and I tried just giving him his dummy and putting his moblie back on but he wasnt having any of it lol, so I fed him and he had about 5oz, then he woke at 12.45am and I was just too tired to try it so I fed him again and he took another 5oz, then he woke at 4am and I tried him on a bottle again and only had like 2oz so that time I def think he wanted just settling again? Then he decided to get up at 6am, I am soooooooooo tired!

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired

E woke me up at 6, he is still in his cot talking to himself I am going to leave him there in the hopes he goes back to sleep lol unless he starts cryign of course lol hopefully I will get time to drink my coffee and wake up a bit before I have to go and get him

Oh FGS! I woke up at 7:07 in a panic, jumped out of bed, made coffee, had a shower, half dried my hair and woke Benjamin up at 7:30 only to realise that it was actually 6:30 and we are nearly ready over an hour early!

Looks like Benjamin managed to add an hour to my alarm clock yesterday morning and I failed to notice

Krystaltips

Ouch Mfd!

Shall I tell you what's worse though?

After nearly a week of getting up closer to 7am with Hubby, he made me promise to get up with Caitlyn this morning... Her chosen time? 5am...
