Yeah good idea, that always happens when we really need something! How long did it take for your £500 grant to come in? I just applied for IS but i have a feeling thats gonna take forever nevermind the £500 after that!

sent my form of 2 weeks ago an got the letter 2day saying will have the grant by tomorrow. so not long at all really.

 

[holly2234]

Oh wow thats good There is some hope then. Just gotta get the IS sorted. My £190 grant took forever. I applied on 12th November and still hadnt had it when the 4 weeks was up on 10th December. It was because the machine had scanned my bank details wrong. They said within 6 working days after the 10th. So ill have a check tonight and see if its there.

[lauram_92]

I got a pram second hand from my mums friend & it is at her house still, can't remember what it looks like either

who all is planning on breastfeeding? and if you are, are you still buying a bottle and steriliser incase?

 

[Melissa.Feb12]

i plan to breastfeed, and yes just incase he doesnt latch
and holly, lol he speaks like 12 languages none english lol

 

[holly2234]

Im planning to breastfeed too but have got a pump and bottles so OH can feed her and ill be buying a tin of formula just in case she wont latch or i cant make enough milk for her. Id rather have it so she doesnt go hungry just in case!

 

[ReRe]

anyone else struggling to sleep every night without fail its just not happening lol

 

[lb]

I plan on breastfeeding, too, but as soon as i get on WIC i'm getting formula so that OH can feed her when I'm not around and in case I can't produce enough. I don't want a hungry baby! I don't feel too bad about the formula though, because my mom said that I wouldn't latch when I was a newborn, so I was a ff baby.

and, yes!!! i can never get to sleep! that's why i'm on BnB at 2:30 in the morning!! my parents just gave us a new mattress too, and it's stiff as a board. So it's not even worth tossing and turning because everything starts to ache and pop. OH refuses to let us use our old mattress on the new box spring because this mattress is newer.. but the other mattress was softer!!! argh!! that and i have a respiratory infection right now, so i've been up all night coughing.
