valium I popped to next about 8am and the kids section had been completely stripped bare, I walked straight back out did end up going to new look and buying myself a dress

Just lost a massive post.

Ill re type later.

But FYI. Pampers are buy one get one free on 80 nappy box.
If anyone sees offers on wipes please let me know. Looking at Huggies or pampers for about a £1 a packet

It all comes back to the mil. She isn't expecting me back. He thinks its something she will use against me later.
He apologised "I'm sry BUT I miss understood thinking ur parents couldn't be bothered to stay up" I then got angry as he should apologise for his misunderstanding not use it as an excuse for his stupidness iyswim.
I find it difficult to feel at home there anyway but to add to it telling me not to come bk made me feel shit. As someone said up thread I am questioning where my home is

GT Asda have 4 packs of Huggies wipes for £3-50. Tesco usually have a similar offer. When I do buy them, I get Huggies wipes as I think they are much nicer - the pure ones.

nervous shame you did not get anything for baby in the sale, and glad you got a dress. Milk when frozen can go fishy. All to do with fat levels in milk. It usually smells very fishy too. It does not happen to everyone. I only ever had it happen once thankfully. Not sure why, perhaps I had over-indulged or something. More than usual, that is.

Nervous I think I've read that
SOME ladies milk can change when frozen. It's drinkable n not harmful. But child can dislike the taste. Google it or maybe the temperate may be an issue. My friend mentioned the other day the her son refused the bottle but she kept on trying n in end he took it. Maybe try a different teat flow size. Maybe try when LO is a little sleepy.

It's awful that you don't really have a place you can call home GT. When you live with your parents, like your OH, then it's still his house, but for you it's like being a guest all the time and it's just not so comfortable. It doesn't help that your MIL seems to be going out of her way to irk you. Hopefully it's all just being exacerbated by the stresses of having a newborn in the house and things will ease up for you.

Nervous try smelling (or tasting it). If you've eaten something strong the flavour may be stronger after freezing. I have also heard that some people's milk changes taste on freezing, you could try googling it to see whether that applies to you. Or baby could just be being fussy.

X-post GT!

DH bought size 3 nappies for J. Cue a huge leakage up the back!

Thanks valium not so darling H bought 10 packs for a £1 each from tesco. But stash is now dwindling so thought I'd stock up. So will pop to asda .

Argh he just called. Acts like nothing's happened. But I'm at a family friends house so had to act like nothing happened. Arghhhhhhh

Haven't been able to keep up the last couple of days, so I'll just do a quick post...

Had a lovely time. Both DC have been thoroughly spoilt by friends & family. We tries to keep both dc's presents to a minimum but I still spent about £100 on her!!! It did include vests & a cutlery set so not all toys... DS got a few bits but I should have just wrapped some of DD's old toys Next year I'm starting earlier & getting 2nd hand...

Spent the day with my parents & had everyone (DM, DF, dsis, dbil, 2 of their 3dc, DMIL, DSfil, dGPsIL) to ours for supper which was hectic but lovely.

DH bought me some nice bits plus gave me a voucher for a spa day for 2 at a local hotel. All w/out me asking!!

Visiting dfil & dsmil today.

Tomorrow we shall be mainly listening to the new war of the worlds cd & waiting for the dishwasher engineer....

"Quick post" sorry!!!

Awful few days here. DD1 and me both got hacking coughs. Dd1 has had temperature now since at least Friday when she went to the Dr. It all serms to be getting worse, not better. Taking her back to Dr tomorrow. Fingers crossed LO doesn't get it as it's horrible and would involve hospital for her.

I was looking forward to xmas for the forst time ever and did so much to be ready and for it to be perfect, and it sucked. I'm not a depressive I think it's this bug talking but I've hit rock bottom this evening.

Oh petite I am so sorry to hear that x I do hope little one does not get the germ, and that you and DD are soon better. Sending healing vibes and hugs xxx

Thank you x

LO has just puked on me and laughed. Anyone else's spit up a little more when they are due a poo?

She's also got a slight temperature. 37.4. Dependibg on what you read it's either a low temperature or normal.

I'm not cut out for being a mum when I'm ill myself. I just want to curl into a ball and wallow in self pity. Fortunately I am rarely ill.

petite is there anyone you can ask for help? It is hard enough with a well LO, but with an older child who is ill, and you being ill too, you are allowed to be less than perfect. Do ask for help so you can rest a bit. I hate asking for help, but when littlies rely on us, it is necessary x

Fraid not. We know very few people round here and the one personwho could help has massesof problems of her own atm. DH is being fab as usual but tomorrow has to go back to work.

Constantbloody coughing , poor DD1 she just doesn't understand

Oh dear I am glad your DH is being useful. I hope he stays well. Sorry I cannot help x

That's ok x. This too shall pass, so they say

It will. Not bloody quick enough, but it will.

Hope you and your DD are feeling better soon petite it must be so hard to be ill and have an ill child and a baby to look after

Thanks for all the advice about the breast milk, lo only had a bottle a week ago, is that long enough for her to completely reject having one? Going to try and pump a bit of tonight to see if she'll take it. It seems to really get to DP when she won't take it because he thinks its his fault somehow why she won't take it

Looked into. Sling library today aswell so hopefully can go next week and have a look,I never thought I'd use one but lo likes. To be in my arms all the time and if I out her down she shouts for attention so it's difficult to get nothing done

Hope you've all had good days today

Sorry to be morbid, but I need advice on what would happen to N if I died. It's been on my mind alot.

My DP and I have been togethere for 7 years I think possibly longer. What would happen if both DP and I died?

Evil

You need a will I think Evil. Even if you were married, like my DH & I, it doesn't mean things are straight forward that reminds me, must get to a solicitor asap. I think the children would go to your next of kin & if they couldn't have them, into care. If you want someone else to be primary carer, it must be specified in a will.

And if just you died, I think N would go to your next of kin, & not your DP, even if he is named on the birth cert. Hence people often get married once they have kids. I could be wrong/things could have changed, but that was one reason.friends of ours got married just before their 2nd child was born - just for the legal bit, v low key ceremony, told no-one etc etc

You definitely need a will evil - married or not - and as soon as possible because otherwise N could end up in care, if only while it's decided who should have him permanently.
I just assumed that they'd automatically go to family till my financial advisor set me straight on that - scary thought.

I'm glad he will go to my next of kin as, I really don't want my MIL rasing him, tight fisted woman she can't speak English well.

Ok will look for will people.
