    Twoflower hi, I think you're doing incredibly well, and SugarSpun is right, consistency is key, however hard. Your little man needs to feel that there aren't going to be any more changes for him to deal with.

    No idea re the turkey.

    Well the monsters have given me the bug :( woke up with a sore throat this morning and been asleep just now.

    Watching wife swap, a lady has just been in tears in a piece to camera because the family ate pizza from the box :eek: and she complained that their house was messy and it's tidier than mine :o:o:o

    That has just shamed me into getting the hoover out :rotfl:

    hello twoflowers and :wave: everyone

    had a fabulous time away. My child was swapped with a gorgeous, angelic, impecibly behaved child - I thought I'd better offer to return her to whoever sent her and get my temper tantrum princess back ;):D I had a whole long weekend of being such a proud mummy!

    Now back home I've got after-holiday blues!

    Not for long though as I have an exciting builders conference to go to tomorrow and visitors coming this afternoon that I'd forgotten about! Thankfully the house is in an okay-ish state.

    I'm sure I opened the computer to do some very important things, but I've forgotten them all now.....oooops.

    jillie - take advantage of the rest :D

    Its been chucking it down here all day. We are having a stay inside day today ;)

    I was going to do a tesco online shop, but i appear to have money off vouchers for in-store, so might have to pop along later this evening.

    I'm still racking my brains as to what I'm meant to be doing............

    anyone know of any deals on Pampers Baby Dry or Active Fit?

    My stocks are starting to run low now and I missed out on the amazing amazon deal :(

    What size CAFCgirl? Generally at the moment I think Sainsbury's 2 economy packs for £13.50 is the best all round supermarket wise... not sure about online though... although Amazon have Eco packs for £13.47??

    Hi twoflowers. Sorry to hear your awful news. Pop in if you need any help or support as there are plenty of lovely people on here who will help.

    Have you thought about doing a memory box with your son? I did that with my middle one when his friend died suddenly. You need to decorate a plastic tub, shoe box, box file, etc and put in anything that gives you a happy memory of the person. Can be things like books you liked to look at together, music you listened to, tickets or guide books from places you went, photographs, menu from fave restaurant/take away, written notes about things to did and so on. Then when he's a bit older and he wants to remember his Dad, there is a box full of happy memories for him to look through.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Isn't the whole point of take away pizza that you eat it from the box to avoid washing up?
