    Hi Glam :D

    Kian also hasnt slept through since we started weaning him. Mum thinks he's hungry when he wakes in the night, cos after a bottle he always falls asleep. I think the bottle now is a habit so need to wean him off that now. I'm hoping when his appetite picks up he might stop looking for the night time bottle cos he's still having 5 bottles a day. although 3 during the day are only 5oz the first/last 1 are 6oz.

    i know J eats lots more than Kian so i dont think his waking is from hunger

    Hiya :D
    I'm good ta, just a bit weary after Edgar deciding that last night he wouldn't settle so I ended up only getting to sleep at 3:30am, thankfully he's been pretty cute of late so I'm feeling [STRIKE]forgiveful (that is so not a word :p)[/STRIKE] forgiving, yesterday DH and I were doing our best to not laugh as he merrily sprayed petit filous in a raspberry then laughed his head off :cool: He's also very talkative at the mo, no idea what most of it is but he seems to think it's clear as day what hu-gar-blur-mff means.

    Yey for keeping toast down :T do 'they' have any theories on his sickiness?

    Your OH is a clever one, simplest things are the ones you never think of aren't they!

    I have lovely friends - one of them has just sorted out a belgian beer drinking trip on bh mon, 1st class on eurostar for bargain price of zero pence :money:, six of us are going :) Now have to be nice to in-laws and ask them to have T for the day, they are lovely and never say no but I always feel guilty for asking them as they are not best well and don't want them to feel as if we are taking the pee.

    Rest of chores for day: shopping for the things I forgot yesterday, cook dinner for tonight and tomorrow night for after funeral, clean downstairs floor again (is this brickdust ever going to go?!), clean oven trays for Saturday and start on the elephant in the room...


    Happy Brum Meet tomorrow

    Ooops overdid it this morning was a bad mummy. made poor thomas go 4 hours between feeds and travel home from tesco with a dirty bum. strangely he didnt kick up much of a fuss. his amber necklace came this morning....could it be working already???

    i bought him some toys and nappies with my doubled up coupons, we went for pampers baby dry (thanks Maz...they were a success!) so I use a moc aswell :money:

    Then I went to lidl with the coupon from the email. got that storage unit that GISI posted the other day - thanks gisi!

    Mum has just text to say they're on the way so as soon as T finishes feeding I'll have to have a tidy round then bring everything in from the car!

    Caz - there was one of those backpacks on hukd the other day, i'll see if i can find the link.

    redstar - sorry to hear about freddie not sleeping again :( i thought the weaning may have helped him.

    always - glad you've had some good news, sounds like you needed it!

    jillie - yay for your hotel voucher - i'm very jealous!

    EA - so jealous of your jumperoo tooo....gonna try and get an ebay bargain myself. the hop and pops go really cheap but none in my area unfortunately :(
