It's a no to muff fluff from me.

I don't get eco sanitary products at all. Just yuck. But then I'd never use cloth nappies either. Each to their own.

yw I woukd also keep J at nursery. The routine will be good for him and I think he'd value time away from the baby. Will give you one and one time with baby. I would also do separate bedrooms if you can. We have a loft conversions which has made 2 rooms. DD1 is currently in one and the plan is for E to go in the other when she's older (at the moment her bedroom is next to mine). The arrival of DC3 will push her move a bit earlier than I planned but what will now happen is baby will be in with me and DH for 6 months. Then they will move into E's room and she will move upstairs opposite DD1. This will still be over a year away. We do have another room on our level that could be used if need be so if I feel she isn't ready to go on a different level we can do some rearranging.

I've got pals who swear by the mooncup and find it much less gross than tampons. I find disposable pads gross so really wouldn't be up for reusable ones. I'd maybe consider the mooncup but not washing bloody rags.

Yw I agree. Keep in nursery. You will love the time with lo. It just didnt work out for us. Although (dont tell mil) it's worked out for us. If we had put H in nursery we chose in january we would have spent a fortune(from next sep) on full time cover when we need only a few days. We would never have carried on looking at places. It's pure fluke we called this nursery. And it seems to be the only flexible days nursery in the area. With a term time option if we want it. Funny how things work out. The argument in January will eventually save us about £20k in child care bills over 4years with 2 kids!

PP as much as I love your recycling green ways I think that may be a step too far lol. Although you do the cloth nappy wash anyway. So not like its extra work.

I'm on week 2 on my period I've always been 4days long so his is crazy. The pill stopped my period in Istanbul. But it started on the last week of the pack. How log until I see a dr? Thinking now I'm not bf I have more options of pills. So can go on old pill.
I've put on so much weight. Stopping bf and starting pill. Which to blame not my diet. Oh no!

Just popping in to say mooncup and reusable pads fan here pidj. Hardly need the pads with the cup, maybe first day? Am a cloth nappier so it's no bother. But def recommend mooncup to all.

Hello everyone. No sleep here. Bloody 18 month regression. Yawn! See you in FB land.

Mooncup all the way for me but it's a def no for the pads. Sorry.

Strange night here, ended up sleeping on the sitting room floor. Not sure why.

I would love to use washable pads and washable nappies but with my life as it is I just cannot do it all. The mooncup sounds fab but I can't even use tampons so that would probably not suit me. I think I have a bit of a prolapse but have my head firmly in the sand in respect to that.

I could not use a mooncup, the bathroom looks enough like a slaughterhouse already. Since I had J I have had the heaviest periods and they were twice a month from the December after he was born. Seriously not impressed.

J slept 7:50 to 6:50 with one wake up around midnight so a good night for me too. DS2 and DS3 had trouble getting to sleep last night so I may have trouble waking them up in five minutes.

Awful night here. LO was up from 1-3. I hadn't slept before that and am a massive grump today.

No nits though yet.

At the train station like a proper person. Off to Glasgow for a conference. Sadly I have no over priced coffee but hay ho.

You slept on the sitting room floor lilly?

It is absolutely freezing as well. I remember going to the same conference last year as a KIT day and I had no jacket on. This year I would quite like my winter woollies.

No to muff fluff here. I have to wash the sheets and pjs often enough at that time anyway.

Hurry up and get preggerz body. Bored of this work malarkey today.

Yes, pass. Not sure how it happened, insomnia and heat? It's over 30 degrees here.

Craving midget gems. The proper old fashioned ones. Really craving them. To the point I nearly clicked yes to a €52 order for a 3kg box (then realised over HALF that was postage and RIDICULOUS).

My UK food stash has run out and there is so much stuff I actually need (ha yeah right) and can and will get from other online supermarkets but they don't sell proper midget gems the bastards.

I have checked ebay and amazon and it has taken me all morning to realise that I can't get a box delievered for under 20 quid!!!! Which is a pisstake and quite frankly has elevated my morning grump to a ragey strop.

I send you some next week when I'm in uk!

Thanks lily but you don't need to do that. I've emailed my mum a begging letter. Pretended it's on behalf of the children :o

Ah, see I'm quite light and am well used to washing things hygienically although I think I might disgust some of you if I mention that most of my nappies weren't bought new I resent the amount of money I spend on pads (tampons disgust me and I can feel them, ugh) which make me itchy and sweaty. So nice soft fabric ones appeal. Although I suspect that seeing how things go after my implant is removed on Friday might be sensible

On the subject of lady bits.

Don't bounce on a trampoline with a full bladder. Is my advice for the week.

I was under the clearly false impression that all was well wih my PF. Glad I discovered that at home before I start running anyway.

PR, I'm always happy to send you over UK food goodies. Just shout

I haven't bounced on a trampoline in many years. I was really tempted to go on the neighbours' trampoline when I was about 39 weeks pregnant with DD1. But didn't.

Thank you for your offer chasing but I was thoroughly spoiled by quiche at Xmas :)

Which reminds me, I was tidying up the food shelves in my garage yesterdant and found a toffee crisp which had slipped behind them. That was a happy moment.

It motivated me to tidy up and rearrange my bookshelves today. I found a few dead spiders and a large live one. I guess the lesson to be learned is that I should hide my snacky treats in the bookshelves to up my chances of finding a toffee crisp as well as spiders eh?

Sounds fab PR. The toffee crisp, obviously, not the 8 legged things.

Am currently stuck revising. Bastarding exams. Dog has finally stopped charging at stuff.

Which reminds me of something else. Nearly a year to the day since PussyPig tried to kill himself, PuppyPig thought she'd have a go too. We were all relaxed watching somehing highbrow Britains got talent whilst she chewed her (artificial) bone, when all of a sudden she started screaming, literally screaming. Twas horrendous, and went on and on, she was frothig at the mouth. Frantic 10pm phonecall to the vet ensued, but luckily after a lot of retching and some impressive burps, the bone was dislodged and peace was restored. Phew. Bloody suicidal pets.

Mmmmm this evening will be sponsored by daim bar ice cream!
