    My friend was born with 2 teeth, her 2 LOs both had all their teeth by about 8mth old - Chris didn't have any until 11mths :rotfl:was so funny to see him next to Charlie!

    Chris recently started waking up around 2am and 5/6am for a wee, not sure if he's totally dry because he bins his own nappy in the morning and its a proper nappy bin not a normal bin bin (makes sense?? :p) so i can't really check it.

    EA only paracetamol and glycerin when PG IIRC, glycerin is useless IMO, I used to use chloroseptic (sp?) spray, it says consult a doc if PG on the label I think but I only used it a couple times when it was really bad

    Thanks :) It seems to be mainly in the mornings, by evening time its mostly stopped.

    Lily keeps having a tantrum when we tell her 'No' :rotfl:

    She starts screaming and her face goes red within seconds, then she trys to roll off the sofa. Then she stops and trys to do whatever we told her no for in the first place again :rollseyes:

    Evening all..

    *hugs* and thoughts for Susan and family xx :(

    Re: names spelt wrong.. I send work emails that have my name in about 4-5 times, and yet I still get a reply with my name spelt wrong! A guy called Ralph is the worst offender so I took to calling him Rolf... soon annoyed him enough to get my name right every time :p Also my name is wrong on my voting card - obviously I spelt it right, but someone thinks I deserve an extra letter and has added a D in the middle (Lyndsey, rather than Lynsey) *rolleyes*

    Rhys has been a stroppy pants tonight. Currently asleep in the hallway in his pushchair.. /random :o

    Oh, and fabby news.. my preg-with-twins friend is finally being put out of her misery on Wednesday! :j She'll be 36+6 which is awesome considering how much she's struggled all the way through this pregnancy (and it's a result of IVF too so not an easy beginning either!). Can't wait to see her and babies :D

    Hope everyone is well.. and Becles exam went well! :D xx

    Opened the exam paper and thought I was in the wrong exam. All the things my tutor said to revise as they'll probably be on the exam were not there and it felt like they've gone through 9 months of work and pulled out the most obscure little bits to ask questions on.

    Head started to throb by 4pm, nose ran like a tap and the people in the bar next door made a terrible racket despite being asked to be quiet twice, which didn't help matters.

    Be amazed if I've passed it and won't find out until January.

    Nobody else felt very confident either. We all had a good rant about it afterwards and everyone said see you at the resits then.
    I hate Keira's name being mis-spelled, without fail half her birthday cards say "Kiera" now I know that, that IS probably the right spelling but it looks too much like Kieran to me.

    Keira Knightly is spelled the same way as your Keira if that is any help!

    Someone I knew used the name but she spelled it Kira.

    I always get Rebecca spelled wrong. People get the number of b's and c's mixed up, or I get the biblical spelling Rebekah. Someone at school spelled it Rebeccer, and another friend couldn't say it at all and always called me Rubber-becca :rotfl:

    With Charlotte, the nappy felt warm when I took it off in a morning and I was sure she was just wetting herself just because she had a nappy on. I tried leaving it off and I had a few mornings when I got up and she was wet, but then it must have just clicked after that.

    I had some puppy pads left over from when I trained Jack, so I had them on her bed under the sheet and they soak up loads of wee. It's just like a big absorbant sheet. They might be worth a try to save your mattress. You can get them in most pet shops.
    Here I go again on my own....
