    i know i'm being a bit 'doh' but with amazom gift cards, can you store them up so you have a large sum to use and then just enter the different codes?
    I always enter the code into my Amazon account straight away and then whenever I make any orders I can choose to take from the giftcard balance first before paying any remainder by card.

    hope DH is successful...could you be a SAHM??

    Nope! I am not the SAHM type!! I could possibly work fewer days though...if I could find a job that would let me do so!!

    MFD--- how do you find the Kindle?

    i love reading and am thinking bout saving up and treating myself.

    Hubby uses it more than I do! It's great to read from but because it is linked to Amazon the books are often full price....so I still buy books that I want when I see them at bargain prices!

    If I were being honest I would probably go for an Ipad if I were going to look at something similar.

    I'm impressed. Alice just requested lunch so I told her she could go and make some lunch just for her. She returned with a sensibly buttered slice of bread and a chunk of gorgonzola and a plate.

    Morning:D

    Sir M... Daisy is being a lot more awake during the day now. We play, have lots of background noise going on etc. I give her a feed about 10pm ish then take her to her cot with no lights on, give a dummy if needed and have the Fisher price Seahorse (I bought it whilst pregnant because of seeing it mentioned on here whilst lurking;)) which is just brill!!:)

    When she wakes during night we keep it dark (put a dim lamp on for nappy change) feed her then put her straight back in cot. No eye contact, talking etc. She'll go back to sleep fine but has started having a "chat" with seahorse and a wiggle from about 5am:rotfl:This morning she started getting quite unsettled about 6 but wasn't due a feed so I had lovely cuddles with her in bed:D

    Isn't it funny how when you have a baby random people come up to you saying "oh you've had your baby then" then start chatting to you as if you know them.... and you're thinking "who the BEEP are you???":rotfl:

    Went shopping at Mr M's this morning and Dasiy was sooo good!:D But my section scar is starting to really hurt and it looks like a tiny tiny bit of it has opened up very slightly:eek::o

  • morning (just) all

    fingers crossed as appropriate for jobs and other things.....

    we have a house of whingy poorly babies still, have sent jack to school so i can have a rest today but now dd has started with the coughing so looks like we're in for another few days of it.

    my tiny love playmat came from ebay, it looks lovely and is immaculate. Some people are rediculous about 2nd hand things, one of my friends was like 'but yuck someone elses baby has been lying on it and probably been sick on it', hello i can stick it through the washer!!!!

    MFD, hows the sleeping going? did you get B staying up any later, just wondered if you were feeling better about it all

    need to iron and clean and be bothered to do anything but cba

    this happened to me after jasmine :( it was so minging and im really squemish so if i looked at it i nearly passed out! i had to put a pad over it for a while, seemed to take a while for it to properly close, i think it must be fairly common because the midwifes and doctor didnt seem at all concerned, just be carful incase it starts getting sore cos it will get infected fairly easily, mine got infected not long after too which didnt help the healing process!

    I once gave Alice a cuddly toy I hadn't intended to as she loved it so much. She insisted on carrying it home in her arms and when we were almost home she sighed and said, "I'm so happy because I've got this puppy."
    that is so lovely! :A I've got my fingers crossed and shall put a word in with him upstairs too :)
    It also reminds me; my sister has got a puppy, He's a little andrex puppy-alike called [ REMOVED]and I get to look after him this weekend while she goes to watch Wigan [STRIKE]play [/STRIKE]win the grand final :D

    ..

    The past two days jake has come home in tears because of dinner time at school, im so chuffing annoyed, both days there wasnt any deserts left by the time he went up so he got a piece of fruit, so he had to sit there with an apple while other kids were tucking into chocolate cake:mad::mad: im so mad, i spoke to the teacher this morning and apparently they get a choice between fruit and cake, so have 15 portions of fruit out and 15 portions of cake, obviously the cakes are going to go first, what incentive is he going to have to finish his dinner now, i wouldn't mind if they all had fruit, the teacher just said 'its one of those things..' why cant they have enough for everyone!! he's happy apart from this so am annoyed that something that can be so easily resolved(ie have enough desert for everyone!!), its ice cream tubs today on the menu so if he comes home and tells me he had fruit again i swear i will flip!! he does eat quite slow so i cant see him ever being one of the first to finish *sigh*

    anyway... fingers crossed susan
    That is shocking! Its not like they won't have any more because they'll be feeding upto another 200 pupils after Jakes class :mad:

    Almost everyday I pick Chris up from nursery I get told he's had 2 desserts, the staff think he's lovely and spoil him rotten!
    I know they are supposed to serve healthy stuff and chips are rarely served these days because they're labelled as awful but Chris won't touch potatoes unless they are chips or wedges so he ends up filling up on dessert and fruit later.

    I have sent requests to those who are my friend, Could people 'like' the BB facebook page and post on the wall saying you were invited by me please, you need to know my full name which if you don't I'm [REMOVED] you should find my name on there as I posted :)
    Its so I can win a Bee themed Smart trike for Ed
    Thank you in advance :kisses3:
