    I gave her some calpol earlier and she gave me a massive cuddle. I fel so bad for her but i dont know what to do, i just dont want her to starve :o

    LOL - every human being on the planet managed to get their teeth through at some without starving ;)

    I know it is awful at the time but it won't harm her to have a little less food and milk for a couple of days. I used to give Benjamin rice pudding when he wouldn't take anything...at least I knew he was getting something substantial inside him.


    :D All said with the benefit of hindsight - I worried terribly when Benjamin was getting his top 2 through :o

    A combination of the Debenhams sale (with some good codes), halfcost.co.uk (10% off code and I only buy when they have free delivery offers) and dealextreme.com. Try Approved Foods for chocolates, and look at Tesco and Argos for 3 for 2 on toys - or try Freecycle or ebay, Lily's not going to know any different.

    I managed to get her to eat some fruity porridge mixed with a fruit pouch i found.

    Which reminds me, my tesco has reduced a load of baby foods and cereals. Mainly cow & gate and the Plum Baby pouch things. So im not to sure if its just mine or nationwide.

    I can't remember who it was but thanks to whoever posted about the breastmilk storage bags at Home Bargains. I just bought eleven boxes which saved me £32 compared to the cost at Boots.

    I totally agree about eBay - it's very good for getting large children's toys as they tend to be collection only and therefore have a smaller pool of potential buyers. In the last year, we've got a £40 slide which had been kept indoors for £10, a £40 swing which had never been used and just had the frame set up outside for a year for £7.99 and Rose Petal Cottage with three accessory sets for £30 in almsot breand new condition as the child it was bought for hadn't really used it. (I was :eek: when I realised how expensive it is new.) I have a search saved on my eBay for items available for collection in my local area and it e-mails me every day.

    Probably been mentioned before, but Sainsburys have 25% toy sale online.

    Just got this for Alex's birthday. I had to pay delivery, as our Sainsburys doesn't do click and collect, but would probably cost more in petrol to drive to Toys r us or Smyths, and it doesn't show on the argos website.

    But i got £28 in my account from quidco, so it's technically free.:D

    And it's hometime:D:D
