    I don't either. I breast fed but she is adamant she's not going to even try that so.

    I just couldn't stand the thought of all that money to buy something I could make for free, I was down to my pre pregnancy weight in 3 months and I stopped weighing myself at 6 months as I had put on over 4 st

    oooh me too, I had four and never once used one of those scoop things or a bottle, except for my second who wanted cows milk at night from about eight months........I think its soooo expensive and when dd1 had her bub this year I coaxed and supported her and although she had a rough start she is so glad she persevered, and is still doing a night feed now at nine months :)

    I did try to persuade her gently but the very idea disgusts her so I left it. She is getting quite a lot of pressure from both nannies about names.

    His mother is really bad and it's all she goes on about, my sis doesn't like Lacey Mae but she's caving just because she can't take the nagging anymore
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)

    Yes they just sent me a brand new one to replace the non functioning one - not sure what will happen the next time it fails as my design has been replaced by much fancier versions

    This is my 3rd replacement and I am sure there is a design fault but if they keep replacing them I don't really mind

    Did you get your issue sorted out?

    Oh that is good, they replaced it for you. Yes, I just had to recalibrate it and it worked again, no problems since, "fingers x"/

    It's like having our own Elite referee. Do you have it in both yellow and red TS? ::D

    Just issue myself with a red card. :o

    JL order completed. :eek: Lots of ladies socks for xmas stockings next year £1.95 for 3 pairs. :cool: Girls and boys socks £2 for 5 pairs. And a pair of wellies for Teeny for a fiver. :o Oh and some reindeer tights. :rotfl:

    I was too tight to pay the £2 C&C charge but don't think spending £30 was the best thing to do either. I couldn't get 3 different sets of socks for the girls so ordered 3 of each of the 2 that were in stock so possibly that's Xmas 2016 and 2017 sorted. :o

    I am normally a pack and re-pack type of girl. But many years ago, I had just wrote my very last essay for Uni and was going to hand it in, as I was leaving I asked OH to book a camp site for the weekend.

    I got home to him grinning ear to ear..... he had book 3 weeks in Florida for us all - flying that evening... it was mid afternoon.

    I had an hour to pack for the 5 of us (he was useless and just kept smiling and laughing!). We made it to the airport.. only just. I was sat in the airport writing to the children's schools informing them that they were being educated otherwise at the beginning of term. After the initial panic, it was the most easy preparation for holiday that we have ever had (but if he does it again, I may kill him!)

    :D:D:D:D:D


    Back in the day florid a was always the easiest packing. Take rubbish clothes and buy new cheap ones out there and bin the old. One case inside another on way out.

    PD I presume you are flying at 6 am tomorrow then:eek:

    ( estimation of pd's flight was posted before I caught up and found that was exactly what she was doing).

    I have done the pack and go a few times. Had a friend, they use to pack the go to the travel agents on a Friday night and take the best deal they could get. This was back in the day when most people only did package holidays.

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    I breastfed both of my boys, to be honest, never even gave it a thought that I wouldnt it was just natural.

    After I got home from hospital, I said to OH, good job they took to it and I never had any problems, because I realised that I had never even bought a bottle, steriliser equipment or formula milk, in case it didnt work :rotfl::rotfl:

    Oh tiny, you are naughty, I did see them yesterday, had them in my basket along with some double sheets, but resisted because I didnt want to spend £30 or £2 for click and collect so I emptied it.

    I also saw some storage boxes on sainsburys that would be useful, but again needed to spend £30 on other bits, so I deleted and looked at something else, but I do need storage boxes :mad:

    TS and CJJ, I am so proud of both of you. It takes some courage to do the things/show insight into issues that you both have. TS I bet your children are so very proud of you, having a strong resilient mum who can overcome horrible people/situations x



    I think they get worse as they get older! :eek::eek::eek:



    ooh maths...... I would have a nightmare if I thought I was doing maths exam. I feel your pain x

    Thanks SSM but I certainly don't feel strong. Not sure what the girls feel about it, I know they do think they missed out on some things. :o

    No 10ish, but allowing time for rush hour and the north circular :eek: Should arrive in New Orleans about midnight or shortly after. I do what you do for Florida with the suitcases. My aunt and uncle live there, so we always take a load of Cadburys, mint sauce and PG Tips. Simple things :)
