@jadey1991 I know, I think I need to take her gor a trim. She doesn't have a style as duch yet, it's sprouting from all directions lol. Thanks for the lovely comments on my girls, your little family is so gorgeous too. I love their hair styles.
Tbh I nidnt want to come for that reason, im thinking we could have used the money on something else. My partner booked it eithout telling me! Think he was having a mad moment. Things are so expensive now aren't they? How are you getting on with your new job? Hope its going well.

sorry so quiet here. We are struggling though sleep regression at the min still so I’m exhausted. I’m feeling totally off it today and S has been under his play gym most of the day entertaining himself which I feel awful about but my OH says one day won’t hurt and he’ll still be taking everything in. Im lucky I guess that he will play quite independently. He loves grabbing the hanging toys and other bits that are around him. Of course it all goes in his mouth at the min.
@Curlymam88 hope you had a lovely holiday, we are going to Dorset in June so hoping to get those first beach experiences if we get the weather for it. Nervous about him sleeping (or not) in the travel cot though!
@jadey1991 He is so cute, I cant believe how fast it is going. Oh god! The cost of living is ridiculous at the min, energy bill has doubled and food bill just keeps rising. Even formula has gone up by £1 a tub.

@Decadesbcun aww sorry to hear that hun. Is S teething? I noticed that Josiah wasn't sleeping great because he was teething and still is but it's not painful now and he will sleep throughout night (waking for a feed or 2 and nappy change). It's good that he can ply independently. Josiah likes watching coco melon. I hope you and the family have a great time in Dorset... thanks for the comments on Josiah...
yes the cost of everything is going up. I've spent so much money on electric this month it's unbelievable...

Do any of you ladies get the £150 rebate?

Thanks @jadey1991 he has got so big....he's on hungrier baby milk as thought that would fill him up for longer but he still has around 150ml/180ml every 3hrs even during the night! Aww josiah is gowing lovely glad all is well with him and you all! Beautiful pics 😍 yes his christening was lovely and intimate with just the 7 of us so no pressure or expenses just able to enjoy and make memories.....hubby and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary 8days later so was nice as the vicar blessed us too (I'm not particularly religious but appreciate any blessing) How's everything with you,are you still trying to move home or is it working out well where you are now?
Thanks @Curlymam88 glad your all good little leola isn't so little anymore,growing beautifully and does look like her big sis (got trouble on your hands) hehe 😉 we joke that if any boy want to date our daughter in future they need to fill out an application form and come for an interview lol glad you had a good holiday and got to go to beach with leola for the first time 😊 We live on the coast and it's beautiful for fun days out! The expense is ridiculous ladies everything going up so much its crazy!

@lovebeingmum9 aww how nice hun. Happy anniversary to you both.. must of been lovely..
I'm still trying to move hun. My place is to small. Plus they are trying to keep me and my OH apart. They won't allow him to go onto my tenancy m. Only way I can put him on there is if we move and do a joint application... other then that we are all going well. Just trying to figure out how we are going to survive through this cost of living. My partner is working part time and I'm not at the mo

@Decadesbcun sorry to hear about baby S sleep regression. Do all babies get it? Touch wood leola has veen fine. She even slept through every night while we were away. Hopefully baby S will too. Might be to do with the sea air as they say. I took my next2me with us which is her usual bed anyway.
@jadey1991 same as Leola she likes a vit of coconut melon. Find myself with the songs stuck in my head lol. What is the rebate for? Is it council tax?
@lovebeingmum9 thank you, all the babies here have frown so fast. Sounds like you've had a nice bit of family time. Same here my partner will definitely be like that when the girls are a bit older 🤣

I think we had that a few weeks ago. My partner works full time so we weren't able to get the healthy start. Aren't they vouchers you can put towards buying baby milk?

jadey1991 · 20/05/2022 21:41

@Curlymam88 yes that's right. I thought anyone could get them. I got accepted and my partner works full time. Strange that isn't it. As for the council tax rebate I'm still waiting.

Yes we got the council tax rebate straight into our bank. Of course it’s gone already on other bills 🙄
@Curlymam88 no I don’t think they all go through ut, but it’s something to do with sleep cycles and transition from one cycle to another. He usually sleeps in a next2me so not a bad idea to take that with us as he will be used to it I guess and it will smell more familiar.
@jadey1991 yes I think he is teething, lots of chewing and dribbling!! After talking about rolling over Seth has suddenly decided he doesn’t want to roll anymore, I put him on his front and he just puts his head down and cries so not sure what’s going on there. He has found his feet though and is grabbing them all the time so maybe he’s just more interested in that at the minute. We don’t get healthy start, I’ve never heard of it actually.

@Decadesbcun aww bless him. Josiah was like that at one point.. he didn't like being on his front. Now he loves it.
Oh maybe it might be different where you live. Maybe checking not out and seeing if your entitled to help with that.

Thanks @jadey1991 yeah it's super expensive we have bills coming out of our ears too....hubby works 2 jobs full time so we can afford all the expenses of having a home and children etc don't think we qualify for healthy start and not sure if we've had our rebate yet or not will have to check! Oscar loves cocomelon too haha when he wakes up in the morning he's happy to chill in his seat and watch TV while I get school bits,pack lunches ready.
@Curlymam88 they are all growing lovely! yes very protective but she also has her 4 younger brothers so doubt she will bring boys back anyway! 🤣🤣
