Thought as there were no objections and we were at 950 i would get us all a new thread

Hi Simpson

Shame you can't make it but totally understand what is like managing two. I am always a bit wary with the DTs when I go out incase one of them starts creating! If both of them do I've had it!

I have held of with the aptamil as just introduced some solids. Thought my DD would be a nightmare as she is so bad with her milk but she has taken to it quite well and seems to be enjoying it. Only having once a day at moment and is not affecting her milk feeds at all - she is so predicable and no matter what always only takes between 20-25oz a day. She sleeps 7-7 so I really can't complain (dreamfeed 11ish). I am also leaving longer beween her feeds and whilst she still takes the same it means we do not have half an hour of stress and crying but takes around 4-5oz happily in 5 mins.

I will try the aptamil when I know all ok with solids or she goes backwards with milk feeds.

You will love Sex and The City! Bring a tissue I had a few tears!

Have a good afternoon!

no time to read posts as getting ready for school runs but if anyne is near a Tchibo you might want some of this stuff as it's "baby week":

Inspiring discussions about weaning.

Can they eat rice cakes now?

Filly - found these sugar free rusks in local organic shop. They come in orange too. Rusks all say 7 months. Why is that? It says they have to get used to purees but Sabela doesn't like purees. ??? Am I a bad mummy to give them to her?

Naetha - Was the broccoli stem pureed or whole?

OMG Ange - gorgeous pics. Have to get some of Sabela!

Afternoon all

DD has either got a cold or hayfever she has day been streaming all day and her eyes are all red and puffy !

My friends lo is sleeping through and she back to her size 8 so had good afternoon but now feel

OOH will look at Tchibo thanks

Lilyloo - I was in tchibo today and they had a travel cot for £29. They had baby sleeping bags too but can't remember how much they were.

well DD just gone to bed only had 3.5 ozs some how I don't think that will last her till 6.00am. Might be in for a bad night tonight. Oh well...

On the plus side picked up my DS's pic from playgroup and it is absolutely gorgeous!! Just have to work out how many to get now. DH wants to get one for every relative of his back in Ireland...

Am just going to start catching up - how was the meet up yesterday - so of all who made it. Need some advice though on my other thread here especially from those who've had previous experience of using a childminder. The more I tihnk of it, the less happy I am.

Fragolina - have posted on your other thread.

Mixed mama - good luck for turkey tonight. How are things at work?

GO Turkey!

Ahhhh I cant take it. Football is so much stress.

Frag had a look at your thread, think I would not be happy.... I am inclined to say that if the more you think about the less happy you are then maybe she isnt the right one. I know when i dont like something the smaller things seem bigger and bug me more iyswim.

Susiemj - think rusks say 7 mths because of the gluten in them - supposed to wait until after 6 mths for gluten. Have just tried Amelie with first bits of finger food - she tried one rice cake and managed about half (the little cow & gate ones), but when I gave her another later she spat it out - and I mean spat as it travelled over the table rather than just dribbling it out! Obviously not a fan...

Go Turkey! Are you on the edge of your seat mixedmama? Caught up on thread, and have now forgotten everything I've been reading for the past hour! Can't even blame pregnancy brain

Simpson and MM - thanks for the comments on my other thread! Glad to hear IANBU

AHHHH the Germans....

Mixed mama - you must be on edge of seat go turkey!!

I am practicly (cant spell) on the floor

i actually cannot believe it

really nice to meet people and put faces to names - nightmare after as I lost car - there were 6 roads all with the same name but with differnt numbers just about got back before ticket ran out!! went to doctors on way back charlie apparently on 91st percentile for height!!!

Glad you all liked charlie - all los were very good and sweet.
sorry mixed mama just seen the 3rd germany goal go in - real shame.

no food here just milk although dh gave her a bit of avocado today which she ddint seem to mind but tongue reflex still very much in action. she take 3oz breakfast 8.30am then 6-7 oz at 12 3.30 and 7 and 11 then through til 8ish although she slept til 8.45 this morning lovely lie in.

must look into blw as purees look like a faff to me.

dh away for work fri-tues but have 3 of my friends who have all had lo after me - and all girls are all coming over saturdsay and then to my mums and going to stay overnight - our first night away.

Those on pregnancy thread may remember i won 2 first class tickets to new york with silver jet who have now gone belly up so they are sending me a cheque for £2000 instead.

CTF i invested and did a bit of research and went for the ethical fund from i think family investment it had the best return over the last 5 years.

Sorry mixed mama I really thought turkey would win Actually put a bet on in the bookies for £1!!

At least Turkey bloody qualified and went out in the semis not much consolation now I know!!

Gutted and so close, we played the best we have this tournament and they were shite. Oh well. Onto the World Cup

It was only DS2 and me at home and his little face was a picture everytime i jumped up and screamed, he must have thought i was nuts. Luckily he went to bed at half time and I tried to tone it down.

my DH has just told me Germany have been in the final 6 times!! And Turkey should have won, they were the better team.

I want Russia to go thru and whoop their ass.

me too don't like Spain bunch of cheats!! Sorry Angechica if you are cheering for them!!

Susie - broccoli stem was whole
