Cafc - I love my mura and it's parent facing they go for around £100 on eBay, it's great for dog walking too.

Kindof - lovely pics especially the first one.

Hugs for those feeling down, am having a tearey time ATM too.

EA - yeay for lily loving her ring, looks like she's getting really strong.

Picked up Ts pixifotos on Wednesday, we were only meant to buy one or two but mil came with us and insisted on paying and buying a few. Anyhoo this is my favourite...

That is too cute, Som!

EA- I find that red lentils with either carrot, parsnip, sweet potato and some grated cheese is a popular and cheap stand by :money:.

Am i a bad mummy? Whilst we are poor we haven't had much food in the house so Lily has had some mashed spagetti letters for dinner and i just bought one of the heinz box food things.

I feel so bad, i do have some pear puree for her and some yogurts though so she isn't eating total crap.

No you're not a bad mummy - you are doing the best you can in the circumstances you are in. Have you considered using some of the recipes from Cheap Family Recipes? I seem to recall that your OH has particular food requirements but even if you just used two or three recipes it might help. Perhaps the lunch recipes and snack recipes may be the most helpful?

Fab pics today ladies

Awww Alfie just had a nap on me :A He hasn't done that for months.

(((hugs))) Som, hope you're ok. My mum is bringing your book tonight so i WILL post it tomorrow. Sorry it's taken so long

And we generally let Alfie eat / play as long as he seems interested. Once he gets to only messing about or looks tired then I clean him up and he goes to bed / play.

We are out for our anniversary meal tonight at the place where we had the reception. Very much looking forward to it and didn't know we were going until hubby announce it an hour ago

Oh, and I'm not sure what it is about them but these building blocks from Ikea are apparently HILARIOUS!

Alfie is in hysterics as you build them up, move them around, knock them down etc.

hi all thanks for the thoughts yesterday on immediate bonding with babies and on sterilising

I have another question, DH has submitted an application for flexible working. Within 4 days of submission 3 of the senior management have asked to talk with him about his decision, in the main they are concerned about him jeopardising his career, which is obviously a kind motive.

My concern is that this (although well intentioned) is in some way sex discrimination, because I don't know of women in his position making similar requests who are asked to have similar chats.

All the conversations are scheduled during his research time and so it jeopardises his project which causes some stress.

I just wondered if any women had been similarly questioned, or if any men had made an application and how it was received?

Thanks

Funny you should ask...I have just been for my flexible working interview today! In my company everyone has to have one after making a formal request.

My DH took paternity leave and noone batted an eyelid even tho he would lose a fair whack of money but when he got his payslip it turned out they just gave him full pay anyway :T

right back to catch up!

i have also looked into moving away, bit of a quick decision but i dont feel this house has good memories and i feel the need to get away?

I felt like that in my previous house. Lots of bad stuff happened and it felt like the house was a jinx. We moved here and I felt much better and I've never felt the need to move from here. Was a struggle buying my ex out and was afraid Craig might want to move when we first got together, but thankfully he loves it here too.

Somnium - lovely picture. James passed as I was looking and he said she was really cute.

James lost his school shoes this morning. I had to send him in trainers with a note and he thought he'd left them in the PE changing room. He searched school and couldn't find them, so he got into trouble when he came in. He was sent to tidy his room as it was a mess again, and he found the shoes under a pile of stuff :wall: Just thankful he's found them as I just bought them before he went back to school.
