  • what a thoughtful, smart young man you've raised :) how about he collects the award & says what he has told you as might make the teachers think about his friend & others who have tried so hard :) then you'd have a mega proud mum moment probably with lots of tears ;)

    That is a brilliant idea :D He might even be able to get away with presenting it to the person that he thinks deserves it :D

    Thanks couponqueen123, I know a couple of people who really struggled psychologically with the first few weeks/months and as I'm a little prone to depression, I'm grateful for any tips to prepare in advance to make it as hassle free as poss

    Hoping to spend December cooking healthy ready meals for freezer and have earmarked a few box sets that come out around Christmas for the nightshifts

    I've seen quite a few youngsters walking around recently in what I'd call pajamas, don't really understand it, but if it means not having to dress in the morning then bring it on :rotfl:

    My biggest tip is... sleep when you can! Seriously though, can't underestimate how important it is to look after yourself as happy mummy helps baby to be happy and happy baby definitely makes a happy mummy :D

    And accept help where you can. I have been in the fortunate position of having lovely church friends who've cooked, ironed, done school runs etc. (My family not being exactly helpful). But the main thing for me was getting to see an adult! I appreciated the non-judgmental company at least as much as the help as it can be hard to be busy all day but have nothing to show for it...

    Having a baby who is fed, changed and loved is the most important but when you're used to seeing results at work for example it can be hard to feel you've achieved anything. But you really have!

    I'll remind you in Feb/March (when baby is here and sleep dep has hit) that it's hard but lasts for such a short time. (I'm sure if you ask those with older children they'll say it feels like yesterday that their teenager/adult was a baby requiring everything.)

    Oh, and get a blanket to hand for the feeding so you can whip it on and over baby so you don't accidently flash people. :rotfl:

    Hth.

    Well its Tuesday, nearly change over day and I don't really trust mys but in an email update they sent me

    Bold 2in1 Crystal Rain & White Lily Liquitabs - 33 Washes (33
    £10 in !!!!!!, £5 in sada

    Ok its not 10p per wash but if you have been fortunate to be sent the conditional spends and/or the till spit conditional spends than one or 2 of these might get you to you require level.

    Or you could put 2 onto a !!!!!! click and collect list with the bits of shopping you actually need - at least 10 different items and at least £5 worth
    - use your conditional spend/tillspit conditional spend
    - use the code on your latest TPP
    - use whatever mailing MOCs with codes you have eg the bread one from orchard

    buying 2 you should get the full maximum TPP if everything else in your basket is matched or NA
