    I'll post on your wall everytime I redeem a voucher....that should give you a kick up the bum lol :money:

    ETA just seen your other post - you win by doing searches. I have it as my homepage and I just seach for sites that I want to go to ie facebook. I usually win fairly quickly (within 5 searches.) Once you win leave it for a bit and try again a bit later coz you never win in quick succession. I would say I usually win once in the morning, once a bit later say early afternoon then again in the evening. I don't do the swagstakes coz I wouldnt want to gamble away all my points lol

    Oooh i see :D I just won 8 points :D

    so glad you pointed me this way!!

    well we have had an hours sleep before waking screaming and starving again!!! i think if i hadn't found you all tonight i would of given into the formula by now... although oh seems to think this is the way to go, don't think he realises how much doing this means to me.

    well think i'm going to stay downstairs and clear some of my sky+, currently am watching supernanny to remind myself it could be worse
    Stick it out and get on the case of finding a BF support group once big one is at school :cool:
    Don't be scared of going to a group, most are just a group of mummies and occasionally the odd daddy having a good old gossip but with a trained person on hand to help out. Most newbies cry the first time they go and get help so don't worry if you are tearful.

    We've all been there and its worth it in the end, I'm only just possibly maybe thinking of weaning Edgar off BF now and he's 15mths old. I was determined to make it work this time after giving up in the first few weeks with Christopher and it has really helped to also 'heal' the emotional issues I had about it all going wrong with Chris, I don't feel an ounce of guilt about giving him formula any more, I did my best in the situation I was in and if you ever meet him you'll see he is every bit a wonderful little boy (If I do say so myself):D

    Good luck for first day of school, Chris has his first day at nursery on Weds, he's super excited about it - I'm just looking forward to maybe getting an afternoon nap :rotfl:
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    I had supernanny on series record and used to watch an episode every time I fed him! Sadly now I don't have time as he feeds too quickly!

    Hi JAM - you must have been typing as I was posting!!

    He now goes off to sleep no problem, wakes up around 2am-4am for a bottle and then tends to wake for the day at 6,30am. Since we've been off work he's been going back to sleep at 8am for an hour but he doesn't usually do this.

    Glad the rash was nothing serious.

    Kindof - you asked about J's milk? IIRC he was on the Aptamil until 6 months and then he went on C&G Follow On Milk. He's been on cows milk since he was 10m though cos I ran out of formula one night and he was OK with the cows milk so we carried out with it.

    Thanks :) we've got him the aptamil follow on milk, he had his first bottle of that in the middle oof the night last night so we'll see how he is, I hope he's ok on it. Did J's pumps get less smelly?

    Happy birthday MFD and Redstaranie

    Well ive had a !!!! night and am totally wrecked, it's 3 nights in a row now vie had 6 hours sleep or less.

    E went to bed at7 he had a 10 ozbottle and was fine, then as I started dropping off to sleep at half 9, he woke up crying, and nothing would selttlehim I gave him some calpol at half10 incase it was his teeth, still didn't work, so then ithiught I'd try a bottle even thigh hereally shouldn't have needed one yet, well he had 5 oz,eventually went to sleep at half 10, got to sleep about 11 thence woke up at 2 for another bottle, then he wokeat 5 yawn, I let him chunter to himself till 6 theni gave him his dummy back and put mobile on, came downstairs to make a coffee, and there is silence from his room, so the tinker has gone back to sleep but there is no point in be attempting to go back to bed now grr

    I am soooooooo tired

  • Morning all. Good luck with the school run this morning everyone who starts today. Especially for those going in for the first time :) I've still been rushing about labelling things I forgot to do last night. Labelling shoes seems to be a bit silly to me - she knows which are hers! We have been up since 6, so I feel like I'm going to be late for work, seeing as we're still in our PJs, but we don't need to go for an hour yet!

    Unless I'm missing something 10 posts per day at 100 points per post is 7000 points!

    Is there a reason why it needs to be only 18 cards per game instead of the full amount. I (perhaps mistakenly!) always feel I have a better chance of winning if I have as many cards as possible in a game. I just won the full house and got 500 points :j

    It was explained that way to me and I didn't notice the point confusion :rotfl:

    I am not winning anything on your link at all, I am rubbish!

    Happy birthday MFD and RSA! :j

    Sorry about your bad night KOAG :(

    Tara, my ex had flat feet and it seems as you grow older it's easier to fit insoles to shoes, so Erin probably won't be in trainers forever. It's very :( all the same though, and good luck with the school.

    Still :rotfl: @ angelcake's timing. I told Husband and he was really confused, told he thought he married a woman who didn't do soap operas.

    Good luck all first day/first day back at school - that includes Michelle doesn't it?
