    Morning all,

    I need to get my dailies done and then start on the painting. I've promised Ds2 i'll take him to the park later if it doesn't rain so i'd better get a wriggle on.

    GRATEFUL AND PIGGERS - I know, I was in a seriously I CBA with you moment with the HV, I know my baby is happy and thriving and will wean when ready. Yep also no colic here, does that mean I will suffer later LOL

    Mum was a HV, must be really hard not to sound dead patronising.

    No colic probably just means you're not drinking too much wine:rotfl:
