I can't imagine what his parents and siblings are going through... his mother got a neighbour to get in through his bedroom window. I just didnt think it would happen to a lad of his age.

It's certainly a tragedy whatever age the person is.

I'm logging out now to watch the Great British Bake off final. I'm very excited. I hope DH isn't expecting my attention when he gets home though......................................

I now make a point of telling DH exactly what I've been up to, and pointing out to him that I've cleaned the fridge out, or done 3 lots of washing, or whatever, because if I don't point it out he will never know.

So do I. And if for some reason I've not got much done at home, I always tell him so that he knows there's a good reason why things haven't been done. (Except for two weeks ago when I didn't say anything and just expected him to cotton on to the fact that when I'd said I didn't think I should do anything too energetic I meant he should be doing certain jobs which I hadn't actually specified to him.)

I'm the opposite - I wanted to give him attention and he's gone to bed.

And did he? Or is that a silly question?

Hi all

think I jinxed things by posting on here saying how Theo only cried for half an hour per evening but last night was 3 hours... it was awful we tried EVERYTHING and we started doing everything again, in the end he fell asleep following a bath and a feed. I actually think he was so exhausted from 3 hours of crying he has been perfect all day but I am so nervous the same will happen tonight, all I wanted to do last night was get in my car and drive off away from the crying baby... am I a terrible mother

Does anyone know roughly how long child benefit takes to come through from 1st application? Sent it off 2 weeks ago and not heard anything, maybe I am just impatient!

On a more positive note; had a lovely 2nd parcel off a very kind lady today full of lovely goodies, thankyou CAFC

I think mine was 4 weeks. Kitkat - a warm bath is good for colic too. think how nice it feels when you have tummy ache and have one i've felt exactly the same at times. hugs to you and theo x

It's been such a fab series. I love it!


Gill- sorry hun, PM sent. I thought I had replied straight away, damn baby brain. Did you see I've been earning you some swagbucks .

Kindof- I'll post those vests to you after work tomorrow. I haven't made it to the PO yet!

Aless- if you're around how are you feeling today? You seemed really down yesterday (understandably so) but I hope you're feeling a bit better today.

Has anyone on BP actually received an Amazon voucher yet?

SugarSpun

No, GISI and I've redeemed two. I did send them an email about it, will check my spam account tomorrow.

If anyone's interested, Mr SS just posted an interesting breastfeeding link to my FB. And I am off to bed for quality time with my pillow. It and I have rather lost touch recently and it will be good to reconnect.
