Legend - bet your please, Sophie was really disappointed that she wasn't dry this morning she is desperate to be out of the pull ups so will see what advice I get this morning.

Morning everyone.

nicky those photos are gorgeous. I could get quite broody again but I won't. Save my energy for my two I have already. Both your boys look scrummy.

legend well done to connor. I find even my eldest still occasionally has a wet bed. We haven't lifted him in ages though. Over a year, so don't worry too much about lifting him. I am going to have to cut it out at some stage with the youngest too, but you find they get to a stage where they wake themselves if they need the loo. Emma I hope you get to the bottom of it with your daughter too. I find we have more accidents in the day than the night, but i do forget 3 is not that old really. We'll all get there.

milla sorry to hear about the back on top of everything else you have going on. Sounds like you need to rest it. Hope it eases quickly for you.

Yay, I got the redeem on SB at last and it looks like the tv ones are giving me points again. I changed browsers to Chrome and it seems to work ok in there.

I posted off the bag I sold too. I was going to get some more sewing done as OH is out until this evening but I have a bad headache so will give it a miss today. The new mattress is coming within the hour anyway so I need to stay down stairs.

hi everyone, havent popped in for a while and have no real excuse other than the fact im easily distracted at the moment and tired all the time!

havent had much of a chance to do surveys etc but have been keeping up with sb, been focusing any energy i find into sorting out the house gradually in the hope i can get rid of half the contents and have it the way i want it before baby arrives in march - not likely!

Nicky your little one is gorgeous, made me more impatient and i want my baby now!!

Hope everyone else is doing ok x

Hi all, well I have seen the health visitor and have been told 1st bedwetting runs in families - my sister wet the bed and had to have an alarm in the end, 2nd - tea, coffee, fizzy drinks and chocolate flavoured drinks she be avoided at all times - sophie very occasionally has tea and fizzy drink so not too bad however chocolate flavoured milk has to go, 3rd apparently it is not unusual at this age and she probably simply doesnt have enough of the hormone needed yet. Feel a little relieved but on the other hand want to get her dry and so does she, for now I think I will continue encouraging her to drink more through the day and cut the drinks from tea and gonna leave her in pull ups for now and see if we start having a few more dry nights.

morning everyone,
thanx for all the comments, my back is killing me, hurts if i sit, hurts if i stand, hurts if i lay down, cant win, i keep doing bits and bobs and then resting, but i cant even rest for too long as it gets uncomfortable, so i walk around abit and plod along lol never ending circle. oh well i'll get there in the end.

i did my first online grocery shop last nite, went thro tcb so hopefully it will track.

watching the clips on swag, some of them are quite interesting lol, i like the scarf, would make a lovely handmade pressie.

keep getting screened out of surveys, they dont want me lol.

see you all later
lots of love

Emma - Have you tried a reward chart? At first give her a present for two dry nights in a row, and then three, and then four. I'm not talking about toys here, play at the park, or have a friend around to play or something.

Morning all - It's taken me an hour to catch up, and I've only been missing since lunchtime yesterday. Let's see who I can remember.

Hammie - fab cards. What a bargain.

Tilly - I joined that site - don't do it. They just send me spam emails all the while

Foxy - I've pm'd you about Boots.

Legend - Yay to Connor

Savvy - so relieved it tracked. Phew

Michelle - Did you get to bed early?

Restricted - Oh NO!!! Poor you. I hope you get better soon.

Nicky - what adorable little boys you have. You can see the resemblance. I'm glad you're all doing well. Make sure you get enough rest.

Naughty - do you know what you're having?

Rufus - I hope you got on ok at the docs. Well done on your sale. x

Stepmum - well done on the redeem.

Some one asked about how many points to aim for on SB. It depends how many redeemd you want to make hun. I used to do just the searches and get one a month, now I do the other bits as well, it's about one a fortnight or three weeks. 849 points for paypal, so about 300 a week, say about 40 or 50 a day. That's just me though. You could sit and do the tv thing over and over and redeem every week if you wanted to put all that effort in for a fiver. I'd rather put my effort somewhere where it will earn me the most money.

I went yesterday to help and old lady who'd been given a kindle for a Christmas present. The trouble was, it was bought by her grandson on his Amazon account, so she couldn't buy any books for it. We got all the registration changed over to her by ringing Amazon (took 10 minutes). She choose a book no problems, then we come to put it on the kindle via USB, as she doesn't have wifi. Oh the problems we had. OMG her computer must have been 20/25 years old, and it was doing things it shouldn't. What should have took 1/4 hour from start to finish took five hours. She's sorted now though. You got to laugh, she's 80 and does all her shopping online - it must take her hours though.

After all the faffing - I came home with such an awful headache. I just pasted across a review, did half an hour of rating and was in bed by 9.30.

I've had visitors this money (my Dad) so after catching up on here, I've done nothing at all yet. I'd best go and see what I can find.
