  • GISI - I use that mould spray and it does work well - I get mine from Lakeland do you have a shop near you? its 4.99 for future ref if you need anymore

    www.lakeland.co.uk



    We are having a major breakthrough with the potty training - it just seems to have clicked so fingers crossed :)

    Thanks! Unfortunately we don't have a Lakeland nearby but I wish we did.

    I used the H G Mould spray on the shower cubicle and it done an amazing job. I would say it is 90% better, and I'm hoping with another application it will be even better. I would definitely recommend it.
    Try not to worry about work- same thing happened to me. It had all been very pally then suddenly one day I got an email inviting me in for a formal discussion and told that I could bring a representative (or whatever word they used). I was properly scared but when I turned up it was all fine- just a formality.

    GISI - Thank-you, that's really reassuring to hear.

    :jIn better news, the phone has just rung and it was the bank telling us that the mortgage has been approved! :j

    :T:T:T For thet mortgage. That's great news.

    I've usually used the Dettol mould and mildew spray but it only seems to get rid of the black bits, the brown and orange bits stay. Does the uber-expensive one shift the coloured stuff as well?

  • Yeah, it shifts it all. It's not really that expensive in the shops. I paid £5.80 in Robert Dyas but it is a 500ml bottle which I imagine will last a while. Ours was so bad we were thinking of re-grouting and re-sealing so worth the money for us.

    Sugar - No.............. he did not, in simple answer to your q LOL
    I honestly dont know whats going on with that boy, I fed him at 4:30pm with a carton of hungry milk 200ml, thinking maybe that will help sustain im, and then at half 5 he starts full on screaming again, tried a few things before a bottle, and he munched through 160mls of that (regular feed)and then fell asleep for 10 minutes, then it was a quick bath, was drying him etc, got nappy on, about to do his lotions and potions and he starts again, so he then had another 70mls.... and then i put him to bed, took his washing out of his room, when back in to turn out the sidelight and hes zonked...........

    surely thats just too much food?????????????? He's been through like 1600mls today.....

    And tomorrow all his clothes will be too short ;):rotfl:

    Nah, it's normal for them to have hungry days and probably in the next few weeks he will suddenly grow.

    Im getting conscious im overfeeding him but then at the same time he's obviously hungry for it, because its the only thing that will satsify him.... ive tried water and it just wasnt good enough LOL

    I miss my routine! I've got no idea what he's doing these days... thankfully its hubbys days off starting tomorrow. hes got interview in the afternoon but at least i might be able to get him to help out somewhat.....

    I don't beleive you can over feed babies. If they didn't want it (or need it) they would just throw it up over you. And like adults they all have different appetites and metabolisms.

    I also don't believe babies can be overfed - they don't have the capacity to breathe deeply and rub their bellies to keep in excess food like gluttonous grownups (like me) do. He'll be showing two inches of wrist in all his clothes very soon, it just sounds like a growth spurt to me.

    Snotty Drippynose has finally gone to sleep although was up a bonus time because our upstairs neighbour thinks Bavarian oompah music is something so damned cool he has to share it with us. One day I am going to ... probably just seethe quietly about him.

    Oh, there goes the Mollysiren again. Goodnight.

  • I agree with what those two wise mummies have already said, CAFC. L is just taking what he needs, and in a day or two it will settle back down.

    It's mighty quiet on here. Where is everybody tonight?
