Chaos, that pic of Autumn is gorgeous!
Eswift, I hope you can get things sorted soon & also that your son (and Jo's Chloe) calm down a bit. It amazes me how grown up 10 yr olds can be at times, or more to the point, how grown up they 'think' they are!!!
Helz, Ethan sounds like he's doing sooo well!
Kaites, we have set up a ton of savings accounts since having Harry & are also insured up to the eyeballs now, lol. I didn't want to take any chances, so we are quite literally insured for every situation that life might throw atb us so that Harry is covered. We also set up just a lil savings account for Harry that has a whole £80 in it at the mo, which we're using for any birthday, xmas, easter money people are kind enough to give him, and the government child trust fund too. (in the UK, the governemtn gives every child £250 for a trust fund to invest until the child is 18 that you can either leave as it is, or add to over the years)
Maffie, the sure start groups can be hit or miss, depending on the people in the groups, lol. Some of mine were full of teens & I felt really old & out of place, despite looking younger than half of them, lol. I do the BF group & the sensory play sessions at the moment. I was gonna do baby signing, but it's so similar to Makaton, which i already have the advanced certificate in due to work (i work with severely autistic ppl, ppl with learning difficulties & other issues such as epilepsy & cerebal palsy) so I didnt see the point in the end. I am thinking of joining the next buggy walking group in an attempt to lose weight (yeah right!) and when Harry's more mobile (sitting up by himself etc) I will take him to the messy play & wrigglers & gigglers group, which does music, art, play etc & looks really fun.
Kte- glad Chloe's christening went well. Cant wait for Harry's in May/June half term
Jo- hope Sam is less grizzly for you soon.
Sam & AimeeLou- thanks for the wedding good wishes. It's a bit overwhelming, but I'm so excited. I'm not having a hen night coz of Harry, so the 'big day' will be it. I am sooooo looking forward to going to Italy. We now need to find a good buggy to take with us that will withstand the bumpy roads & paths in mountainy & vineyardy regions while we're out there & a carseat coz I think Harry will've outgrown his by the time we go there. I love the fact that the villa has a little pool outside so I can swim everyday, even if it's freezing!
LK- how is gorgeous James doing today?
Sorry if I've missed anyone out! Memory is crap these days!
We thought DH had food poisoning on Tuesday night but looks like it was the flu and he gave it to me. I'm just hoping that Emma doesn't get sick- I'm trying to BF as much as possible today in the hopes that maybe there are some antibodies present to help her fight it off. Emma had a rough evening too since her usual routine was disturbed but she did a couple things that surprised me. First thing was feeding herself with a bottle of EBM. TBH I have no concept of what normal is when it comes to self feeding since I'm lazy and don't really do bottles (she's only had about 5 bottles in her lifetime and the last time was in December), but I was impressed that she took it between her hands, took it out of her mouth when she wanted a break and the found her mouth again when she was ready for more. The other thing she did was wiggle up to me in bed (she's done that before), roll onto her side and try to lift my shirt up in the middle of the night- persistant baby, lol! Anyway, we're having a relaxing day. DH is out buying soup and looking into buying a new battery for the car- yeah, the car also died on me yesterday afternoon but luckily I didn't have the baby with me and a nice guy gave my car a boost. Sorry for the moan but it's been a rough 24hrs! 
But it means that he's absolutely knackered on a night lol. We also put him in his door bouncer this afternoon and he loves it!! 
I'm hoping that he'll sleep a little longer tonight as we didn't get back for SIL's until 7.30 but he was asleep and we just put him straight to bed. I'm expecting him to wake up anytime soon but he's not even making a sound....he's had a busy day. 
, have my induction on Weds so they can show me how all the machinery works etc and got a personal trainer to set me some goals and a programme! Can't wait, I soooo need to shift 1st or so then i'll be happy, oh and I can't wait to get rid of my flabbyy tummy! 
its £27 a month, thought it was abit dear but hopefully I will go enough to compensate for the price, its open till 10:30 at night so planning on going in the evening when DP gets home from work
