    Mel - they both look adorable. Glad you had a lovely day

    Off to bed too - I've been very domesticated and just ironed some blouses and sewed a button on my blouse :eek: (can't remember the last time I had the sewing kit out :o)

    GISI I am also outraged on your behalf, that's really inconsiderate. I generally tell people when planning a wedding to "forget the guests; it's YOUR day" but not to the extreme where a guest wouldn't be able to eat! It's a bit like only providing alcoholic drinks when there are people attending who are tee total, you wouldn't do it would you?!

    That car looks fab though :)
  • Lovely pics Mel, glad you had a lovely day.

    Hubby and I are doing the ironing in shifts so I am catching up quickly on my break before I sort out lunches for tomorrow.

    Might be back later, might not ;)

    Mel - so glad you had a good day and they both look gorgous

    GISI - that's apalling! It's so inconsiderate to invite someone to a wedding and then not have anything to feed them.....and who in their right mind would put veggie quiche on a plate with beef! I'm not a veggie and I wouldn't eat quiche that had been in the beef juice!

    If anyone needs school tights for their kids this place are having a sale tomorrow only with 50% off. Not sure how good the sale will be but I get my tights from there and they are good.

    There's one on 'My baby won't let me put him down'

    It says about picking up baby to calm him down but once he is calm but he back down again so that he knows you are there. If cries, pick him but put him down once he's calm. Keep doing this until he realises that you are still there but its OK for him to be on his own.

    She goes on about the 3 day magic and that it takes about 3 days to change these things.

    Maybe a combination of the 2 - or just holding his hand when he wakes in the night so he knows you are there but he also learns its sleep time and not bed time??

    so feel free to tell me to shut up :p

    But you are a Mummy with experience and I am grateful :A

    hammy, Baby Whisperer have free forums for those who are cheap to buy any books ;);)

    (we tried BW for a while until it got to the point where it just wasn't working and totally doing my head in worrying about A time, Sleep time and shh/pat...so then we went to CC which pretty much worked instantly with only a night here and there needing retweaking :T)

    A lot of people though think thst CC doesn't work with seperation anxiety :o

    I am a complete softy and figure that if my little boy wants mummy cuddles in the night then it is a chance for extra snuggles for me. I'm also happy to feed him in the night if he wakes up as I think that sometimes adults wake in the night for a drink so why wouldn't babies?

    If at almost 9 months you have frequent hourly wake ups - I am not sure you would say that!

    Happy Birthday Aless :bdaycake:

  • A weird but mostly good night here :D

    D went to bed at 7, woke up at 8 then stayed down until 2.45 :j

    He then stayed awake until 4.45 :o:( but then slept again until 6.15 :j

    All in all, a good night :T

    I hope everyone else had a good night too x

    Morning All

    Been up since half four, My next door but one neighbour was burgled and their car nearly stolen, they are away on holiday and I am looking after the house for them. Feel terrible for her she was burgled just after Xmas and has just got all her stuff back, have been round and can see they have taken the Xbox, an IPod, the wii and I could not see the laptops but I'm hoping she had the sense to hide them.

    Am still feeling a bit shaky, its times like this I hate OH working away!

    Anyway I wanted to ask, if it was you would you want to know or would you rather find out when you got back from your holiday? (am not going to tell her until she gets back I don't think but wondered how other people would feel?)

    Also not sure what to do about Millie, she is going to notice the damage and that the games consoles and car have gone but don't want to tell her they were burgled, I don't want her worried about it happening to us, we are feeding their rabbit and lizard and OH is away so kids have to come round to the house with me.
