    Thanks for the info about fleece liners. I've used up my annual trip to Ikea (very jealous of you peeps that live near one, though my wallet is happy ;)) But they sell them in the poundshop.

    Som, I have no experience of formula, but I know Aptamil is 'unofficially' recommended by a lot of midwives, don't know why, but OHs neice is studying midwifery.

    Susan, EC looks like a really interesting thing. Would you say it was a difficult thing to do? There doesn't seem to be much 'routine' as it were to Sophie's toileting, other than her morning stretch and pump session.

    OH sort of gets how much work a baby is - like if I dare go for a bath and she decides to wake up and scream hysterically like the other night, but other times he's totally off the mark. It's getting easier to do stuff now, but at the same time not, because she's getting to really enjoy interacting and playing, so I'd much rather be stimulating her than folding laundry. It's all swings and roundabouts with us really, although OH is messier.

    Michelle she is too adorable for words.....

    we're both up, well both 3 of us. DH is still in bed although I need to wake him in a bit as car is booked in for MOT and needs to be dropped off before half ten.....

    I think L has defo caught my cold, he's not feeding as much (even pre growth spurt figures) is that normal when babies have colds?

    I've been awake most of the night as my nose is so rotten i couldnt sleep for more than an hour at a time.....

    bleurgh...........

    hope everyone has a good day xx

    GAH! I am FUMING.

    Finally heard back from this job I've been waiting on. The reason it's taken so long is apparently they were literally about to offer me the job when an internal applicant stepped forward. So now they're "legally obliged" to interview that person and won't know who gets the job until probably after the weekend (that interview is today). :mad::mad: And stupid poxy internal candidates are always better and favoured, and now I'm scared I won't get it.

    (personally, I don't understand how this is possible, as clearly since the internal person missed the application deadline they don't have any sort of right to be interviewed? But is prolly just company being nice to its employees. BUT I DON'T LIKE IT ONE BIT.)

    Aless, I'm :mad::mad::mad: on your behalf. That seems very much out of order.

    CAFC, I guess as long as Landen's staying hydrated, it is fairly normal for us as adults to go off our food a bit when we're poorly. It might be harder for him to suck as well if he's bunged up. Hope you all feel better soon.

    Michelle, Ayana just looks so cheeky as she plots her next move. Very cute indeed!

  • Are you going to tell us how you may have broken the bed caz?! ;) LOL
    Ive only got 312 SBs, what am I doing wrong?!
    Ive decided im not going into town, what I need can wait plus ive got like NO money. :( On reduced pay now, a lovely 4 hundred and something a month. Which leaves me with -89 pounds after bills! :eek:
    Im going to slap on some fake tan and do my hair and nails. Give DH a heart attack when he comes home from work as Ive not really been making an effort for him. :) Then I can go to the post office later looking like a stunner ;) Well, a fat one! :D
