    awww Gill hun you're doing a fantastic job with him!!!!

    If its any help, we do Landens bath just after 6 (we watch coach trip lol), and he has a top up feed and then is usually in his bed at 6:30, and asleep by 6:45...

    I'm sure he's ok, and it might have been the shock of hitting his head that upset him a bit.....

    And theres nowt wrong with ranting, god knows i do enough of it..... maybe we can help you come up with some ideas to help your days?

  • Hugs Gill. I'm totally the same when I have to do bedtime on my own. I used to really hate it when Henry was little, and still panic sometimes now.

    DH went out to get chips half an hour ago and I am starving! Speak of the devil, he's just walked in!

    P.S Secret Santa alert

    A little birdie has requested their secret santa.... and given that there havent been any newbie requests for a few days, how does everyone feel about this?
    I've not been on here long enough to know if we're missing any regular lurker/posters....

    What does everyone think?

  • Hi all, sorry ive not been on in absolutely AGES!! Hope u r all ok, I am not gonna attempt to catch up so if theres anything huge I have missed can someone please let me know, thank u xx

    Self waffling post alert!! Had a rubbish week, Toby has been really poorly, temperature, bad diarreah, sleeping lots, took him to the hospital ro get him checked a week ago Sunday but they just gave us nurofen to take with the calpol. Took him to the docs on Tues as still mega poorly and they said he had an ear infection and prescribed amoxicillan. By Friday he was more himself and we got a phone call that evening to say they had the results of his stool sample and it turns out he had salmonella :-( TBH I didn't even realise it was still around!! He is loads better now just still quite runny poos but that's all. It's the first time has been I'll and it was horrible!!

  • OMG FBB, that is really scary. I'm really glad that T is on the mend now but :eek: at Salmonella. Sending lots of gentle hugs :grouphug:.

    CAFC- I'm not sure how many regulars have signed up and how many more might want to, but the only thing that would put me off starting so early is that there may be folks graduating from the pg thread who would want to join in in a few weeks....I'm happy to be paired now though so I can start thinking :D.

    *hugs* fattybooboo - no wonder you've not been around for a bit. So glad he's feeling more like himself now.

    CAFC - tbh it's not the days that bother me as I'm used to being on my own and have lots of things to go to/people to see, it's just the evenings. DH is home tomorrow but he booked a specific train for 7pm to save the company money (!!!!!!??!!) but it turns out his course will finish at 3 or 4 so he'll have to hang around in london, then 2 hour journey to manc, then train or taxi back home from there. Well annoying he could have been home at least 2 hours earlier if he'd got an open ticket!

    Oh, I keep meaning to ask - what is the heating situation in hour houses at this stage?!
    none so far but we all went to get extra layers for night time today from asda.

    Do you guys put your babies in just pjs and sleepy bag or vest and pjs and sleepy bag?

  • My god you lot have been gassing today, I haven't a hope in hell of catching up. Did I miss anything important?

    Work was slow as a slow thing today. The guy I'm training was out this afternoon too, so we couldn't get on with training stuff. But everything I touched unravelled into a big problem in my hands. It was like pulling at a stray thread on a jumper - I kept finding one question and discovering the answer was a great big mess. At least it passed some of the time!

    We've had a great big temper at bedtime, but once she settled down (and drank some milk - I ended up tandem feeding Izzy and Benji Bear :) It doesn't get more glamarous than that!) I got a cheerful wave when I left her to it, so it was all worth it. We are going to have a few more of them in the next few months I think.
