Well here too - fecking lady didn't show up to view the fecking house. Dh and I spent all day yesterday cleaning, mopping, scrubbing, I even did the bloody sodding ironing. Apparently the lady was ill in bed with flu and will book another viewing - my arse. I'll believe that when it happens.

Anyway.

I'm so envious of your Bristol meet up . Promise you'll take pics and put them on fb?

How's the sleeping going?

Lazy baby here too - he'll roll over if i push him! Shows an interest in sitting if supported but usually ends up eating the carpet

Did anyone else have to check Sazz's post twice to find said apostrophe?

Oh dizzy - that's awful. Some people are just such idiots.

no1 - completely agree with the others. Nothing to feel guilty about. If a LO doesn't learn how to self soothe a bit it can surely create problems for ages?

Rubbish night last night - DS2 up at midnight, DD at 1ish, DS1 at 3ish and DD again @ 5. Thankfully I am not at home, so managed to get both a morning and an afternoon nap in today!

Travelling over on new years day was absolute bliss - nearly no cars on the road. Reckon travelling back tomorrow could be a right PIA .

cc - lol @ pushing him over!

Sazzles - never mind the apostrophe - what about the unnecessary capital letter?!

pertelote - wishing you warmness.

Ok, here's a question for those of you with good sleeping babies - do you do a late night feed (10/11ish) or do they sleep right through?

I have always done a feed around that time, and am a bit scared to drop it in case it leads to a night of horror, but equally I wonder whether I am disturbing her by that feed.

Thoughts?

I was laughing with you sweetie...

sazzles, your photos are fabulous btw, although am slightly concerned by the child labour going on

ataraxis - Dylan sleeps through from about 6 or 7pm and I express at about 10 or 11pm for her solid feed at lunchtime the next day - give it a whirl, you never know you might get lucky

I will give it a go (and blame you two if I have a totally rubbish night )

I was joking

[meep][meep]

I have to confess we do a 9.30/10/11 feed here - she just doesn't know it's happening - I have tried not doing it but she then wakes up when I have only been asleep for an hour! (and I can't cope with that) then we have a 5am then a 8.30 wake up. All her feeds only last 3 or 4 minutes but I am still gushing milk (managed to flood the bed last night through 2 breastpads) She was sleeping from late feed to 7/7.30 then until 9 but since she has become more interested in the world and can't concentrate on feeding during the day, So I think she isn't feeding sufficiently during the day and needs to make it up at night. She will feed a 'whole' big feed if we are alone in a quiet room with no DH, cat, telly, light etc... If I could get a day when we are home and can feed her in relative peace and quiet I might try and give it up.

Sazzles am deeply dissapointed at 2 errors in one message

opps - fear not, have been off grassing up sazz to the pendants!!!

why are you grassing sazz up to the necklaces? ....

I gave up giving O a feed at 11 coz half the time I couldn't wake him, and if I did he still woke up again to feed later. I have now lost the plot with feeding so perhaps not the best person to judge..

Why is does Sazzles need a new pendant?

Who is Opps?

can I brush it off as a deliberate mistake to see if you were all paying attention or am I not going to get away with that?!?
