    Evening everyone, hope everyones good,

    Millies mum, hope you manage to get some sleep tonight, I'd be shook up too in your position, your poor neighbour, whenever ive gone away i must admit i do spend quite a bit of time worrying whether ive been burgled, i would never post on facebook that i was going on holiday! infact im quite secretive about it normally unless its close friends and family lol!!

    Beenie i had the same prob once with a leg of lamb, i ended up reheating twice, not sure if you're 'supposed' to but we were fine, just made sure it was piping hot when reheated,

    Indeed she does, FBB :)

    She wakes around 11ish for a feed and then somewhere between 4 and 6.

    3, I suggest perhaps some shackles? Or else take the side off so she can't hurt herself and leave her to it. She'll either get back in or fall asleep where she drops.

    Evening all!! Had a mini catch up. The last line of ur post made me chuckle SS!!

    GISI Glad work went ok, bet it was nice seeing H when u got home :)

    Well touch wood we seem to going well with T going to sleep in his cot from awake, especially at night but also got him to sleep in his cot with v little fuss for both his naps today, woop!! Just need to sort out the in the night wake ups now. I tried comforting him rather than feeding him when he woke at about 11 last nite but he was getting in a right stress so I fed him in the end, 2 wake ups last night and fed on both. Did I remember reading SS that M feeds during the night too? Xx


    Like Molly, J tends to want a feed between 11pm and 12am and then again 4am - 6am.

    Thanks SS, makes me feel better when I know others little ones do too. I may well be quoting u if my in laws question it too much when we are all on hols together next week, as there are 2 other babies of similar age in DH family, one a lil older and one a lil younger, both who apparently sleep through the night.

    ETA thanks Glam, may well be quoting u too, hehe

    any more from the bastage camp??

    Nothing at all from Bastage Camp. Last was my solicitor told me to contact her solicitor asking for contact before last Friday - still nothing.

    I need to ring my solicitor tomorrow to get him onto it.

    I don't think we can remove a side of the cot. It's only the cheapie Ikea one, and I think with a side off, the rest would collapse.

    Also, there is too much [STRIKE]crap[/STRIKE] important stuff around the bedroom (OH's, not mine) to leave her to it tonight. :mad:

    I did suggest that OH pops to work and brings home his cuffs and leg restraints but he thinks that's a bit harsh. ;)
    Or putting the matress on the floor, with the cot upside-down on top like a cage. :rotfl:

    Four trips up to Alex and a bottle. And he's down, first time before 9.30pm in a couple of weeks. See how long he lasts.

    Both kids in bed, OH out watching Man U and the laptop seems to be playing tonight (dodgey power pack). So I am ignoring the huge ironing pile.
    as there are 2 other babies of similar age in DH family, one a lil older and one a lil younger, both who apparently sleep through the night.

    FBB fingers in ears la, la, la and ignore the sleeping through the night talk. It can only wind you right up.

    3, don't know what to suggest with V. Can't even remember back to when Joe was able to do that. It's either a case of leaving her to cry at the gate, or keep putting her back in, until she falls asleep. But that could take all night. Oops sorry not helping am I?

    Lol, I was just going to say that MIL used a spare cot side tied to the top of sil's cot like a proper baby cage... You could try that...

    But then her children ended up in care...

    Might not want to try that...

    I have like the stokke pics too:)

    Alfie's cotbed is being lowered a notch tomorrow now that Alfie is sitting up. Doesn't seem 2 minutes since DH was putting it all together!

    Not much going on here. Think I'm still hungry but trying not to give in to eating crap!

    Krystal glad the muffins worked ok - I made the recipe up myself :cool:

    Beenie how was Michael McIntyre? And I would reheat the lamb too. I do stuff like that all the time, including cooking chicken from frozen if I've forgotten to take it out of the freezer :o ETA and it's never made me (or anyone else I've cooked for) ill

    I can't remember what I did with my older two either. :o

    J was happy in his cot until he was past 3 and I evicted him because L was coming. He was in his bed for months before he realised he could get out. :rotfl:

    L - I really don't remember it being any bother. But, I think she was older too, old enough to be proud to be going in a big girl bed and understanding that big girls stay in their beds.

    I got interested then when I read the first bit........but maybe not! :rotfl:


    OH has now taken her out for a drive. Yes, it will work, but isn't very helpful on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights when he's working 5pm -3am. :mad:
