    Thanks ;)

    Oliver is 2 and a half weeks now, and we are all doing pretty well really. He is quite settled, with the occasional collicy period. The boys love him (has taken DS2 a little while to come round, but he is ok with him now).
    Moneywise things have been hard, as we have been rubbish at meal planning etc, but we are getting back on track now. I've applied for the extra child benefit, and let tax credits know to see if having another child makes any difference....
    I'm cracking on with online surveys and have been sent quite a few products to test too

    Am going to grab a cup of coffee now while I have a spare 5 mins as MrLittleBit has taken all the Teenybits out for a walk :D

    Hi hun

    Glad to hear everything is going well :) I'm shellshocked coping with just my little man and so am full of awe with you having 3!

    Keep us updated as to how everything is going :)

    Bless you both. The tiredness soon becomes a memory.

    Sml - going from 0 to 1 is the biggest shock, then any more just have to slot in. And you kind of know what you are doing. I barely noticed DS2 arriving. I'm sure I would if I had a 3rd though. :o

    I miss seeing both of your posts at the moment.
