    Hi 3, Were all doing well thanks, Im really looking forward to half term. J seems to be growing up so fast :o
    Hope all your little beauties are being good.

    JM sounds like you have had a morning of it already, I hate the wet weather for the school run.

    Hi SS, Have fun on the MB thread.

    Hi aless, how are things for you at the minute?

    Morning all x

    Hmm what to do today? Weather here is pants and I don't drive?

    Daniel is currently ensconced in a Playhouse Disney magazine, whilst trying to eat a Thomas The Tank Engine phone.

    morning.

    Having an mse day today - i.e staying inside and not going out and spending money :D

    Had a pants evening last night. Don't rea;;y wnt to go into it here, but DH and I seem to hve very different ideas on few key things:o

    anyway. feeling bit pants and sulking - which I realised wasn't good. I've put clothes washing liquid in the dishwasher:o ooooops :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    so I htought I'd moan here instead. I just wish I knew a practical way forward/illustrate my point to DH......I am of course the one who is right:D (though he didn't even like my compromise options :o)

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Our little lad's night terrors/wakings have gone from 1 a week to 1 nearly every night. Usually before 11pm thankfully. We do the usual reassurance/huggle and take him to the toilet afterwards. He goes straight back to sleep and seems non the wiser for it. But we can't pinpoint why they've got so regular, is this normal?

    Hi Bailey - long time no see/hear from

    What thermometers do you use... I have a cheapy tesco one but think I should get a better one for the boys like an ear type one?

    Maz - I use a braun ear thermometer. Its pretty good. But we don't use it that much. It cost about £35 I think - we bought it in state of panic when she was ill the first time (about 2-3 months old) so a better model/bargain was probably to be found, but its serving us well at the moment. hope you don't need it because they are ill :(

    :j MacSmiler! :( for your pants evening, Husband and I see a lot of key things differently too. The way we deal with it is talking about it like adults till I get bored and then I browbeat him :) Normally if it's important enough for him to argue back we come to a compromise, if not I get my way.

    We had a much better night at MFD towers - I asked the CM to only let Benjamin sleep for 1 1/2 hours yesterday. She said he was grumpy when he woke up (sat with his lip out rubbing his eyes for a few minutes) but he was fine.

    He was very tired when I got him home which led to a few little strops *rolleyes* but he went down with only a little bit of wimpering just before 7pm and we didn't hear a peep until hubby got up at 7.10am.

    So not ideal (having him grumpy, grumpy at us for the only time we spend with him each evening) but it gives us something to work with and we can see if we can change things slightly to suit us all.

    Of course, I couldn't sleep at all *rolleyes*




    Krystal - I hope C is okay, enjoy your cuddles xx

    thanks ss. I'm just annoyed as I thought I was compromising and meeting him in the middle, but he can't see it that way. I feel so strongly on the point too, but he doesn't seem to even see my line of reasoning, let alone hear it :rotfl:
