Hi SF

Could you please do me a favour, when you can, and look at post 3745 (I think) on my blog? I just posted it a few minutes ago, Monday morning - its just about Adsense, thats all, I wondered if there was any input you could give me?

Ta! I know you're really overloaded, don't worry if it feels too much xxx

Is it on the cat one? I can't see an advert - there's a space where it should be I think but nothing there?

Hi SF - I'd echo what others have said about trying not to despair, it can be a very difficult time (one of ours was a big baby, always hungry, and could be a complete sleepless monster at times) but even though it can seem endless at times it does pass and they get much easier.

Every night I hope that tonight is the night he's going to get better at sleeping! No such luck so far

My daughter is going through this at the moment SF with her 4 and a half month old DD. The dreaded 4 month sleep regression apparently which if you google it is prevalent around 4-6 months so it is nothing you are doing wrong. So sorry for you and hope he gets through this stage quickly so you can get some sleep. I am amazed you can find the energy to continue updating here and your blog which I find interesting.


Hope your DS starts to sleep better soon for you. Who knew parenthood was so difficult? I have to say looking back years later it is a blur and we all survived but seeing what my daughter and SIL are going through now it brings it all back Do you have any help from family and friends?

I'm finding the motivation to keep everything updated lacking at the moment; I'm pleased that some days I manage to get dressed and be fairly presentable. I have my parents and DH's parents that come and help; don't really have any friends that live in the area. Plodding along though!

Yep, its the cat one - the beige rectangles are the thing that should be there, adverts don't appear until your account is approved. And my application has been turned down :eek::eek::eek: because of lack of original content, which is the maddest thing I've ever heard :rotfl: I've got some faffing to do, and I'll get back to you. Sorry about this!

Not to worry - let me know if I can help can you reapply?

Hi SF hope you are well! I enjoyed reading your snowball blog post, but think I spotted a typo - £1,041.60 should be £1,081.60. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for pointing that out

Finally getting some time to post on here - it feels like I'm juggling a lot of things at the moment!

DS is finally sleeping a bit better; he only wakes up about 4 times during the night now, which is a vast improvement to three weeks or so ago. I know 4 times still isn't fantastic, but I feel like I'm getting more sleep and not quite so bone tired like I was before. I don't feel rested as such, and could quite happily stay in bed on a morning if I got the chance, but it's slowly improving I did see this top as someone shared it on FB this afternoon, which made me smile

Now that we're finally getting into a good routine, I am in desperate need of trying to get some more exercise and improve my eating habits, which have fallen a bit down by the way side recently I've just ordered this top: http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0328175019.html which sums me up at the moment; I'm drinking a lot of coffee, which probably isn't great so, I think that from Monday I'm really going to try hard to eat healthier and cut out the snacking that has crept in.

I've posted a blog post today about the first dividend payments I have received which I find very exciting! It's hardly ground breaking numbers as this stage, far from it, but it's another part of the bigger plan that has started in motion. I'm aiming to get £100 of dividend payments this year, which, whilst small, is nothing to be sniffed at if I succeed

I have also done a small OP of £10.57 today, to get our mortgage to a round £98,700 we do tiny OPs at the moment, but it's still going in the right direction.

Right, I'm going to make a cuppa and catch up on some diaries, provided DS stays asleep!

Loving those clothes and I'm so glad to hear you're getting a *little* bit more sleep.
