    I really hope she's ok LP. It's so worrying when something like that happens. I love them being so young but hate it too..you can't wait for them to grow up a little more.

    Baby blue had an episode when he was 1 day old when he was choking in the middle of the night and stopped breathing. It was one of the worse times of my life. Their breathing is so irregular at that age as it is. Bless her. I hope she recovers soon.
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

    Thanks Iris, yes it is a worrying time. A friend of ours son was born very early (30weeks iirc) and she twice had to give him mouth to mouth whilst the ambulance arrived (was even on our local news talking about her experience).

    They are alot more robust when they reach the 3 month mark.

    Back to money issues, I should get paid next day or two so will be able to see exactly how much I can overpay.

  • Right the OH and LOs are all at the in-laws this weekend so I have a chance to get cracking and do some task (if I avoid the temptation of a lay in!)

    Here is what I will attempt to do
    - Decorate the lounge
    - Clear the roofs gutters
    - trim our hedges (that in itself is a full days job)
    - Pull the remaining Ivy off the house
    - Create a spreadsheet to monitor our heating oil usage (not sure if we have a leak as the drains smelt of diesel when I cleaned them last weekend)

    Morning Froggy.

    She is still struggling but it doesn't appear to be getting any worse, so hopefully this is the peak and it should start to get better now.

    The Dr did say day six is usually the worse.

    haha, the gutters is a job i don't fancy doing at all but I don't think they have been touched in 20 years..... oh the downpipes are blocked too so should make an interesting experience.

    I've just got to package my six lots off to them (I do them in smaller batches in case any get lost in the post).

    I see quidco has changed the way they display the cb you are due. I liked it more how it was before. £300cb in the first months not too bad at all. Although its likely to be months until they actually pay it.

    Yep saw the changes as well on Quidco, and have to say its more confusing than the old demo.. The only good thing is that on the main page it displays what you can expect on your next payment..
    Well done on raising £300 already, am sure you will be glad to see that coming in to your bank account...

    I did the same things as you with MM, and sent 5 packages.. Don't forget to ask your Post office to give you proof of postage (free of charge :p)...
