Tara so long as you made the right decision at the time, no need to smooth things over. Unless there has been an apology (or equivalent).

My big news. I binned all of Amber bottles today. She is a cup only girl now.

Officially not a baby.

How do i go about getting energy quotes for a house i've never lived in? I tried Uswitch and said i am moving home, but not sure how accurate it will be seeing as i just said i am a medium user who will be on economy 7. It said Scottish Power are cheapest. Currently with British Gas and i like them and their online service. Is anyone else with Scottish Power, how are they?

I can't go with EDF or Npower cos i have debts with them:whistle: (although it never stopped my mam she just gave them a different name lol)

Don't wanna jinx my house-getting though :-/ But trying to get my head around things. Biggest thing will obv be the actual moving.

Hiring a transit will cost £40 for the day... Only problem is i have no one to help with the lifting so thinking i will need to just pay a proper removal company I have no idea how much that would cost.... My ex-ex bf does it but he is expensive and i don't think his dad would let me have mates rates

Wow Tia, that's a big move.

Beenie, Maddy is down for the same reason. She slept too late as we went to church this morning and ended up staying for lunch.

Tia, you are brave! S still has a bedtime bottle, but only in the evening. I'm sure he would go down without it, he goes down for his naps without it no problems, but I cant get over the whole "fill him up and he will sleep!" thing, and he refuses milk from a cup still

Charlie still has bedtime bottles as its the only way to get him to sleep and Erin loves her bottle and i dont think she will give it up anytime soon

I am sooo tired should go to bed but i am bidding on ebay lol!

Glamazon

It will only be a matter of time before he manages to escape the baby jail! At the mo, I leave the door open and he shuts himself in, he has a right moan at first but after a while he starts playing.

Glad you've all mentioned bottles! I was feeling bad that J still drank out of a bottle! Tried him with a cup today and he was having none of it, yet he'll drink water out of Daddy's glass *rollseyes*

Tara - I have no useful advice

My wisdom tooth, which has been coming through for 8 years, is killing me! Extremely busy week this week so might not get on much but I'll try.

How was OH and his sore head?

Oh that's another rant. Decorator is coming tomorrow, he was supposed to rip stair carpet up and wash down all gloss work. Did he do it? Did he balls! So after doing football, then roller rink i've ripped carpet up on 2 landings and 2 sets of stairs, cleaned all skirtings and spindle banisters on above and cleaned 8 doors and their casings. Plus teas, bath and bedtime, whilst the lazy get sat on his arris ALL day. And this is all because i wouldn't go to burger king, because i didn't have time, so i am therefore deemed to be pathetic all over facebook :mad: And he has been branded a t0sser by someone :whistle:

Erin refuses to drink from a baby cup now as she want to drink out a proper cup? although my poor carpet has went from bad to worse :rotfl:

I have escaped back in time to the late 80's today and gone roller skating.

I'm so jealous! We had a brilliant roller rink here when I was a teenager. When L got roller blades last year for her birthday or christmas, I suggested I could get some to skate with her...and she was horrified!

I have had to make a very hard decision this week. I knew deep down I would have to do it and DH said it needed doing. However, because I found it tough I completely messed up how I did it, making it all much harder but only because I wasn't sure how to. However, the outcome was the right one, and I feel relieved, the question is do I go back and try and smooth how it happened or as it's over just leave it and move on.

You could try smoothing if you want to/if you think it's worth it. And if smoothing isn't possible atm, i'd let it be know that you are there and available for future smoothing.
I'm sure you didn't mess up - you did what you thought was needed at the time.


Tia Well done on binning the bottles. My baby girl will have one until she's 26.
She's down to just the bedtime bottle now, and will drink milk from a cup at other times.


Baby girl has gone down tonight at 7pm for the 2nd night running. Straight into her bed with bottle while I sit on my bed and asleep within 10 minutes. I think no day sleep is the answer.

MDW Hope you manage to speak to the union people tomorrow. No job is worth it if it's making you feel rubbish and treating you like poop.

I hope everyone else is ok.

Sorry, should have explained (but dinner was ready), she has refused bottles for the past couple of weeks. I think it's because they only use cups at nursery. They actually had mould round the rims because they had been sitting so long (yucky! I swear I washed them properly).

My head hurts, know that way when the scalp hurts? Was fine till I had my dinner.
