    Beenie :eek: and :rotfl: at Amber's kitkat!!!

    Well done Thomas :T (it's always when you look away that they do stuff isn't it?!)

    We've got someone coming tonight to quote for the kitchen. So exciting. He's contracted to the letting agents though so going to arrange our own quote too.

    Also heading out this afternoon with Millie's Mum, hope it dries up though

    What has she been eating? black poo is usually too much iron. Kian's never really changed colour (sorry TMI this time of day)

  • Hi Everyone, Im new here and in need of some help. Apologise if im posting this Q to the wrong place.

    I am expecting my second baby next next March and am looking to sort out my little girls bedroom before then, she will be 21 months.

    Anyway, my cousin bought this amazing tooddler bed for their little girl about a year ago off ebay then linked to a small business website. The problem is she cannot find any of the details as its been so long ago and I can't find the bed anywhere, so wondered if any of you would have any ideas?

    Description:

    Pink wooden Toddler bed with a shelving unit at the headboard (Little recesses to fit teddies etc.) think its in the shape of a dollshouse roof (if that makes sense!! lol) It also has an extended side to avoid lo's rolling out of bed.

    Has anyone saw one of these? Ive been looking everywhere but can't seem to find it....aaahhhhh.

    Thanks again

    Kerrie xxx

    Umm, today she has had fruity porridge and yesterday she had fruity porridge aswell. Her poo y'day was a normal colour.

    I'll wait for the next one and see what that one is like, maybe this one was a one off.

    :j for Thomas and Gill :j

    Half my list is already done for today, so I am allowing myself an in-office break of enough time to check in and see what you lovelies are up to.

    Kerrierr I don't know about the toddler bed, but have you tried putting the keywords into Google and doing an image search? That way you can spot the one you want and follow it to the company's page.

    Mixed night for us - Molly did her usual half-wake "feed me and bring me to your bed" at midnightish and instead I gave her back the binkie and soothed her back to sleep in her crib. Which is where she stayed, sound asleep, till 5:45. But then she was starving and wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide awake and climbing all over me and chatting and clapping hands and whacking me to get me to keep my eyes open. Urgh.

    However, in better news - Germany has paid parental leave, you get 14 months total to be split between the parents however you want. We've only used 4.5 months between us and today it transpires that even though my contract is ending, if I go back into parental leave on the 30th October I can have the remaining 9.5 months (on 2/3 my normal pay) and not lose a single day of work! Which means that I can do the counselling course I want and get the basics in order to start practicing and seek accreditation later on once I have experience and further qualifications. So it's been a good day so far, even if the admin stuff is in the old part of the hospital and on the top floor with double-height staircases and no lift.

    I now have 110 minutes to get the last work-related item off my list before our weekly meeting. I can totally do that.
