    Hope Sam is okay.

    DH had the snip so it's deffinately no more for us.

    Emma, you don't have too make her drink from a cup at night. Many poeple still use a bottle for bedtime and there is no issue with it at all. And even some children too! (haha)

    We don't have anywhere to put one Susan, even a teeny tiny one :(
    You should speak to Alice. Shes planning on six siblings sleeping in her room, two in ours and two in the living room.

    Thanks for all the good wishes about Sam - he's absolutely fine, they think we're overfeeding him because we've been feeding him what it says on the SMA tin but he's small (8lb2oz today at 19 days) so that's way too much. So we're having to try him on a smaller amount which I have to say he is NOT enjoying so far! :D

    Somehow I don't think it's going to happen. Although we have yet to convince Alice of that. I think she likes tens as she's also planning to have ten daughters herself.

    Charlotte is keen to have large quantities of babies too. The numbers and sexes change frequently and they all have bizarre names :rotfl:

    Pleased Sam is ok. Have you tried different milk? James was really sicky on SMA and after trial and error he ended up on Farleys milk (not sure if you can still get that one though!)
    Here I go again on my own....

    SMA doesn't always have the best reviews! I found my babies were starving on it and never seemed satisfied, I was recommended to change to Aptamil by an excellent HV and I never looked back:D

    DD1 had farleys after constipation on SMA but farleys has been discontinued now. ETA Squeak is on Apamil comfort and apart from liquid poo she does well on it.

    Oh that boy I was having trouble with on the bus?

    Yesterday a kid twice his size pinned him to the seat and punched him in the face :eek: he was sat there crying, no one went to help him I felt so bad, but knew I was the last person he'd want helping so could do nothing :(

    Anyway I rang the school today to return the call I missed about the bad behaviour on Friday, and find out how he was because he wasn't on the bus this morning, they asked if I saw it all and I had to say no, we were at the front they were at the back and the bus was packed.

    Think the head of year I spoke to was amazed that I was concerned about how he was lol.

    Anyway apparently one of them was kept in isolation today (I assume the one that did the punching) and they've both been told not to catch our bus for 3 or 4 weeks in light of 3 complaints from me about behaviour and an actual assault in public.

    Oh and twin1 apparently told OH that she's not going to have a job she's going to be a mum like me :eek:
    Mum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession :o:o

    Aww that's awful about the lad getting punched. Hope they manage to sort something out.

    Had to write a note in for James as someone is making stupid insults, then saying "come on then, punch me" to make him snap. It seems they want James to punch them so they can go crying and get James into trouble.

    Also he loaned his PE kit to one boy, and that boy loaned it to another boy and now the whole kit has gone missing. They need an official school rugby shirt which costs around £20 and £6 for the official socks, so I hope it gets found. He's already lost one pair of socks and he's only been there since September.

    It's his 12th birthday today and he was really pleased with his presents so that cheered him up.

    Hope everyone has a good day xx
