Oohhhh I'll have a think where else you have to go. Harvey Nichols is nice (for a look ). There is no John Lewis which is a shame.
He crawled off before I could get up there . . . hes fine but I think the cot side will be going on tomorrow. Hes sat on my knee now wide awake watching tv . . . I think its time we both went to bed! Urgh I'm still shaking, that was horrible Poor little chap 
these things happen unfortunately! i was in the kitchen earlier and so was danny and the kids in the living room, we heard a thump and owen crying. turns out dylan picked him up off the floor, put him on the sofa where he fell off onto the tiled floor and has a bump on his forhead 
maybe danny will get the playpen now!
what a shame they sent you a bracelet
hope you get more sleep tonight I really hope the antibiotics kick in soon. I love your new avatar 
my nightime routine is currently wash up, get all childrens stuff sorted for next day, do some decorating and then bed 
poor oliver, I know its horrible when these things happen xxx I went in late, I thought sod it I want to drop Alex off. He was at my mums today. He was fine when I left. I felt sick going into my office area at work 
I was shaking! my friend had bought me a welcome back bumper pack of haribo which was nice. I called my mum and she said Alex wasnt well but she was managing. I had a meeting with my boss about the redundancy and how its all going to work and had some lunch. Then i called my mum again and i could hear Alex screaming and coughing so I decided to leave. so I worked 9 - 2 poor little man, he was in a right snotty state when I got there. He is absolutely full of cold. He's meant to go to nursery tomorrow, I am worried about it though. to you all thank you all for thinking of me today
owen is getting more obsessed with boobie for comfort by the day! dont know how much longer i can continue like this apart from the need for some proper and not 20min bursts my back also hurts from lying in contorted positions so he can bf all night
I think it will actually be better . . . . I figure that if Steve is at work, when I go to bed Oliver can always be in the big bed with me after that anyway And its a step into him going into his own room. And if it doesn't work, we can always take the side back off I think I might pop into the library later and see if they have the No Cry Sleep Solution book, Oliver wakes maybe twice a night at the moment which is fine, but if I could make small, easy changes and have him sleeping through . . . we"ll I'd be silly not to try really. He has got into the habit of sleeping till 9am though which I have to say is lovely
will have a look online at styles now! i am going to re-read the no cry sleep solution over the next few days. i will try sleep training when we are back from leeds as there's no point doing it now and then throwing him out of the routine in 10 days! it is a huge one!
only thing is it dominates my living room
my back also hurts from lying in contorted positions so he can bf all night
I so know what you mean!! Alex is fine until I go to bed, then he generally wakes not long after I've gone to sleep at which point I bring him into bed. Then he's OK for a couple of hours but from about 4 ish he's the same as Owen - needing comfort boobie every 20 mins! great news you got your playpen 
I have been doing job searches and trying to write my CV. i need to write to all the local childrens wards/SCBU's to see if they'll support me doing a voluntary placement for the return to practice course. 9am!!!! 
you lucky lucky thing!!! 
but they said he'd had a nice little day and had got a little girlfriend 
thats rubbish about work!! Do you think its because you werent there to stick up for yourself? Thats really poopy. Do you have a finish date? Does Kerry finish on the same day? How is all the DIY going? It sounds like you're super busy, well done for been so proactive and taking the bull by its horns even though its a bit crappy honey I think if I left Oliver he'd go for the boobies too, I'd probably have to bf him in the car and we took Oliver to the park to play on the swings. It was lovely, I think he enjoyed it but he looked quite confused most of the time It was fun though, and then we had a nice walk. Steve and I had a chat about me going back to work. He said that if I am confident that I can cover my outgoings each month he's happy for me not to go back. I pay for my car insurance, diesel, life insurance, bits like that. Its not a huge amount but its all my stuff, rather than been 'ours' if you know what I mean . . . I mean really we don't need to cars, so I couldn't expect Steve to pay for mine. I'm confident that I can do it. I have some savings that I can fall back on if I have a slow month. So . . . . I'm 99% sure I'm not going back, yay! I hope everyone is well!my back also hurts from lying in contorted positions so he can bf all night
sorry to hear that alex is also comfort feeding at night you going to try sleep training?
at not having to go back to work 
Oliver cried so much when he fell out of bed yesterday, it was awful. He was fine, but it was awful. I can't put him of the sofa anymore because he just dives off!! I don't think its really sunk in yet, I don't think I want to thik that's its really going to happen until I officially put in my notice, just in case something happens and I have to go back. The day I hand in my notice though, well I think I might even open a bottle of something sparkly
if i get the new job i will do that too. if i dont i'll be upset as i really dont want to go back to my current school
too soon
