    Thanks Gill, it's Bingoport, and I've had a little tutorial on the Special Occasions board about how to maximise points to about a fiver a week :money: If anyone's interested let me know, I get points for referring through my FB account but have used my throwaway one so would need to friend you via that one.

    (Gill, I'm connecting to your link via my Fakebook too in case you can see it and wonder !!!!!! ;) )

    I'll go and check out the special occasions board but if it's less tedious than doing surveys then I'm there!!! I was doing loads in the early weeks of bfing but now that T is only on for 10/15 mins I don't have time and have to rush my way through!

  • evening everyone,

    i've been pointed this way for some advice about breastfeeding from another thread.

    I had my little girl just over two weeks ago, we were doing really well with breastfeeding but the past few days have been a complete horror. She wants to feed for approx 20-30 mind every 1.5-2hrs and just always seems hungry. I fed her at 8.00, she had a good half hour, went to sleep and fell off herself, burped her which didn't wake her and put her down. Five mins later shes screaming blue murder and rooting for more food. Do I just keep feeding her? feel like theres just not enough that i'm providing is this possible?

    Also it still really hurts for the 1st few minutes, pain feels like its going into my back and down my arm, is this normal or am i doing something dreadfully wrong??

    sorry for all the questions but i am getting to the end of my tether and feel like giving up right now which i really don't want to.

    Thanks in advance lovely people

    I was very proud of him and feel quite happy leaving him at Mum's in a few weeks time so we can have a proper overnighter at a wedding :) Just need to get some expressing done now lol

    Sorry, I did read back but have forgotten most of it.
    Thats brill Gill. We stayed at MILs last night too, usually its whole weekend but weve still not sorted the sleeping arrangements for Ayana as shes just about fitting in her moses basket there. ;):p I DONT NEED ANY IDEAS EITHER, THANKS! :) ( I know it could be fixed v.easily but Ill just play dumb for now until DH figures something out.) I cant believe you can express so much- im really struggling. :( It takes me about a week just to do one feed! :(

    It's like a reunion tonight! Hello everyone :j

    Jacko is poorly again :( He only finished he's antibiotics last Tuesday and is all chesty and snotty again

    Oh dear, poor mite. Hope he gets sorted soon.

    Hello CAFC, hows your day been?

    Redmel, was it a fluke or is your LO sleeping through?

    Well, looks like nap problems have spread today som, ladyb, krystal. A missed her pre bedtime nap (at in laws...grrr) so she quietly cried from 6-7:30pm with her eyes closed. :(

    Well hello all vintage posters! ;):D I though I might introduce myself again since I dont know some of you and vice-versa.
    I have a 12 week old girl named ayana, shes my first and im very much in love- shes a very good baby and im very lucky to have her as my first- rarely cries, sleeps well and can be left to do her own thing. Im currently on mat leave from teaching.

    That is everso cute. I hope it turns out to be something easily remedied, and she feels better soon :)

    I have followed your lead and today we have been watching youtube videos of steam trains. must take Izzy to the watercress line soon I think. Not very :money:all these trips to places, but never mind!
    My dad used to take me on that once a year every year until I was about 14, it was the *most* uncool activity ever but I always loved it! He's a bit of a steam buff. Its the only thing we ever really made a point of doing together. OH said something about taking S one day but I said I think it should be something he should do with my dad :)

    I love the fluff. Its been very pleasant!

  • I am still on my holibobs lady, just sorted me an internet connection. The kids are in bed, hubby is reading so I may as well be stalkering you lovely lot!

    Pp - why don't you get dd1 to have a nice spray tan? Needs to be a decent one though, dont want her looking like she has been tangoed!


    Wrt the boyfriend and the car, I guess you have to try to trust them at some point. With the older boys I try to think about what I wanted from a parent/step patent at their age and be as close to that as I can comfortably be IYSWIM. But I think firm but fair is the mantra to live by, tell them that you are trusting them and what the consequences will be if they let you down and then stick to it.

    Don't envy you at all though. So glad I only have boys to worry about!

    It's on the last page of money making for Christmas Gill, or else:

    Be referred by someone (like me).
    Make ten forum posts a day (need to be over 10-15 words) and play 5 games a day with 18 cards. You get 100 points for every post and have to spend a certain amount on the games a week, but you end up with a net of around 8000 p/w plus any winnings, and 10 000 gets you a £5 voucher.
