:eek: The joys of teething.... isn't there a soothing ointment/natural oil you can rub on your finger and they love sucking it, gives them a lot of relief?

I'm not sure... haven't heard of one.. just the usual bonjela stuff..

on a seperate note why is everything that Ste and I would want to go to so ill timed? There's an exhibition in birmingham we want to go to but we can't afford it if we pay off citi as it's on the 6th October..
Oh well..

Well at least you will have the lovely WII soon - I would love one too but get my mobile via work so don't need a contract. Love reading your diary

Have you ever tried ashton and parsons teething powders Sarah? I was recommended them by a friend. If you want to try them I will see if I still have any lying around the house. They are all natural ingredients so not restricted as to how many doses like you are with calpol. They fizz in their mouths and its supposed to soothe their gums. I'm not sure if I kept them or not, but will have a hunt. If not and you can get your hands on some they are worth a try.

H was awake at 1.24, 3.26 and 6am so I am also looking for a box of matchsticks to prop my eyes open today.

IA - have you applied for the alliance and Leicester premier account on Quidco. £50 for opening the account + you get a linked savings account which pays 12% interest!:p

You could put all your CTC and CB into there and earn a bit of interest on it!
