    Is K waking up hungry? I know you've said she is growing... maybe half a weetabix with her bedtime milk may help? I can remember (many moons ago) when DS2 was like that & it worked for him. The only thing is that he always eats a HUGE bowl of cereal before he goes to bed so he doesn't wake up hungry in the night! (he is 19 now! :rotfl:)

    The only other thing I can think of is her temperature...is this a recent thing, now the nights are getting a bit colder? I always have disturbed nights (even whe DF is away!) when the weather changes, either I'm too hot or too cold.

    Sorry i can't come up with the magic solution :(

    Love Floss xx

    P.S. Are you feeling any better? Apart from sleep-deprivation that is!

    BTW, do you use the Paypal postage thingy for your Ebay stuff? I've found it really helpful, because the cost of posting comes out of your Paypal account where the P&P money is and not from your pocket, then you print the label off, stick it to your parcel and either shove in a letter box (if small enough) or hand it in at the PO to be taken away.

    Still feeling lack of patience from interrupted sleep but other than that I feel fine now. :)

    I would suggest asking for one on Freecycle, but then i remembered you're "outside the Headmaster's office" for that! Maybe you could keep your eyes open for one, rather than asking? Am sorry hun, we don't have a spare otherwise I would send it to you. But then it needs a socket & space to live where it won't get things posted into it i guess....

    Will go and do some work rather than trying to be helpful!

    Love Floss xx

  • Forgot to update.. wages went in today :) Paid Ste's vanquis bill and am about to nip down the post office to send a postal order to the ebay buyer. Ste is now officially drummer for the band now so it's going to get good use. We have also got a double bass drum pedal for him on the vanquis card, again which will be paid off when the next bill comes in so will in effect be helping Ste's credit score as well as getting him something he needs for the band. Can't afford anything else for a while though and we've both got more than enough new stuff to keep us happy for a bit :rotfl:
    Anyway we have £93 spare in the bills account which isn't bad going considering we'll have paid for a kick trigger as well... but it may be a touch less once you've accounted for postal order fees and some stamps I need to send off cancellation letters. Oh well. :P

    I think you're amazing, the way you get about £2.50 out of every £1 that comesinto your house! Can you teach me how to stretch money like that please?!

    when do all your ebay things end? I'm sure you'll figure out a way to pay of the cards regardless of what you spend, you normally do! :j x
