Time to be completely honest

I had the same thing happen at the checkout a couple of weeks ago. Bulk buying is great (and I can't resist buying more if it will work out cheaper) but when you bulk buy everything at once it can be a hair-raising experience!

I bet Sophia will love her dress, and sounds like a bargain too!

Well, she came with me (BIG mistake lol) and chose it - but bless her, all around the shop she picked things up and said is this too expensive for us?

aww sorry babies have been poorly. Great news re the appointment coming through. Keep us updated! Re the MA I woud say think long & hard about this. I did a post qualifying course while working with no kids & was VERY stressed at the end of the year because the study on top of work and everyday life was too much...our circumstances are different but my honest opinion would be to wait a while if you can. You hae an awful lot on your plate already and unless there is a reason why you have to do it now I would wait a while...just my opinion and maybe I dont know what I'm talking about but having been very close to the edge (or hanging on my fingernails!!) would hate fr you to go through the same if it can be avoided! Hugs for you in aking the decision!

I see what you mean ISOM - I think I will look carefully at what is required so that it's not too much. I think they'll be sending out some more info so I'll be sure to go through it thoroughly before deciding.

Though it sounds silly, my mum would be v supportive and I know she would make the commitment to come over once a month (she's said so) to take the kids out so that I could have some allocated time to do the work - this might help?

Off work with DS (ear infection) today - trying to get lots done, but so far have replaced the batteries in DS's most annoying toys in order to have a little peace!! He was up 3 times in the night - yawn!

I hope DS is feeling better soon. I've just had a viral infection and I was hell for a week and I'm an adult!! (apparently!)

Will he not have a nap?

Sea78

hit and miss now really - he's never been a big sleeper but hopefully he'll have a sleep later on as he was up so much in the night. Thing is, if he does sleep it tends to then have a negative impact on his sleep in the night - grrr.

I can't complain at the mo actually - he's being really good playing with his toys so when it starts to hurt him, we'll snuggle on the sofa for a while together

Sounds like a nice idea. Lots of hugs and as my Dr once tried to convince my parents, staying up a bit late helps to (I had tonsilitus (?)) I think is was taking pity on them and hoped that by letting me stay up late I would be tried enough to sleep all night

Sea78

lol Here's hoping! He was up for 3 hours last night after going down but it didn't seem to help that much...he went to bed when I did (in our bed) and finally went to sleep! Can't complain though as he really is such a love. Still in love with his potty as well!

Aww bless, he sounds like a little sweetheart! I love kids like that, they always seem so lovely.

Be proud I am resisting the urge to raid the works chocolate advent calender!

Sea78

Well done!! Keep strong - stronger than me anyway, I have had a few chocolate coins, but am actually feeling mroe positive - I think from our chat about it on the other thread!
