lol SPB at your car seat advice.. his stays in the car and going out to get it is not an option besides I just know N would not have any of it. My mum suggested taking him for a drive but he's a light sleeper and always wakes up when you take him out of the car, so that's a non starter. He does come in with us when he is terrible but although I am not averse to co-sleeping in theory, it doesn't work for us in practice, none of us sleep very well. Me particularly and when he is having a really rotten night I have the scratches to prove it
He still sleeps fine in the day, so he slept 8.30am-10.30am and then another hour from about 1.30-2.30pm. Mum is coming over tonight so we can have a break and I'll be clinging to her ankles to get her to stay until he's def. down, she's a night owl so even if that is 1am I know she won't leave us [love my mum]
Pesha - yay re. the car
Elkie, SPB, IDOC, sorry you are feeling a bit blah.. hope you all have plentiful stores of chocolate in (or IDOC are you still only dreaming of it??).
oooggs your twins sound so big! (in milestones, not necessarily size! lol)
Hi Eddas, CD, Caz and everyone else of course..
We've been busy formulating all kinds of life plans over here which makes me feel good, having an idea of what we are aiming towards. Dh and his siblings have sold their mum's house (which they all bought together years ago) and bought her a new one (they are such a good family) but our share in the new one is less so we will get money on the old one which should provide a much needed house deposit. Found out that we have to reinvest within 2 years or a large % goes to the taxman. But I think that's a good thing, will give us the push we need to get onto the property ladder at last. That was just a random piece of news
