    I wish, hardly :money: :p

    I was going to post on that other thread about SAHM's paying for cleaners but didn't want to get involved in a row!
    But, if I was sat on my backend all day watching a cleaner or ironer do my work, OH would soon be kicking my butt back to work. :rotfl:

    Wills - that is awful you must be fuming! Have you complained?

    Susan - I've had contents with what ever bank we have been with but cancelled it a while back when money was tight. I figured it's stupid not having it especially now T is here. So am gonna do it while we can afford it then will just have to cut back else where later on.

  • Hello all

    thanks for previous breastfeeding advice.

    went to breastfeeding cafe no peer supporters there as its half term this week but was about 9 people at the group and they couldnt really offer any additional advice.

    baby has been having small amounts of left side always offer it first and have at times been putting him on if I catch him stirring from his sleep so he is sleepy and doesnt notice!!

    Husband got him to take 2oz of expressed milk last night used a dr browns bottle he did it after bath and I went and had a bath for 20mins and left him to it - he screamed for a while but eventually took it, I then gave him a breast feed so will try this again as really be good for him to take bottle as gives me some space at times also.

    We were going to get one for two hours a week :o

    I was thinking though that getting one for a big mad deep clean while we're away would be more sensible though, so I can keep on top of stuff when we get back rather than have a regular maintenance cleaner.

    Just because someone has help doesn't automatically mean they are lazy and sitting around all day - everyone's circumstances are different. Help comes in many different forms anyway - just some are more obvious than others.

    hehe, something like that. The soft play was fab, although izzy made me go over the scary rope bridge with her. We had chips :) And there was (mostly!) lots of playing nicely. Izzy was asleep before we got out of the car park to come home and now has fallen back asleep on my lap. I really could do with tidying up, but it will have to wait.
