[Ozzieshunni]

Alex lives in vests, lol. He gets too warm in dungerees even though I love him in them lol.

 

[loopylollipop]

well done Abby

I am praying for a 9-6 sleep!

At least she is moving forwards, Dylan appears to be going backwards...

Put him down for a sleep this morning, as he naturally falls asleep toward tea time which intereferes with the bath, bf , bed routine.

Trying to test out the sleeps breeds sleep theory

 

[molly85]

our house is cold and i dont like wrapping her in blankets

 

[molly85]

she barley slept yesterday till the evening

Afternoon ladies.

Online shopping - agree with madly, you get loads more crap in the shop and just what you need online.

Organic - don't waste your money Tas, there's no evidence it's healthier or more nutritious. Organic farming practices don't rule out some surprisingly toxic things and are environmentally unsustainable because of crop loss from disease (unless you went GM). Always wash your fruit and veg. If you're going to spend more do it on fair trade and local produce which are ethically and environmentally sound compared to everything else.

I went to sleep at half 9 but still didn't have a great sleep between the two kids' wakings. Today I feel like I've a bad cold so I think that counts as improvement!

 

[molly85]

Hugs PB.

I was woundering on your stance on organic being a slightly more informed noondle than myself.

Should have ordered online. Midwife turned up whilst out even though she wasn't meant to be here until Monday

She's hopefully going to be back by 4pm... if not we'll have to miss the birthday party.

Hey ladies

I didn't get any veg but I got 25 quits worth of meat which will last us 2/3 weeks! We have a Market on a Thursday do might get veg from there! Or I'll just go to aldi which is just up the road!

I'll look at some weaning plans on Internet later

I went to in-store and got a big 5L fairy comfort for £4.99

Hi Ladies :wave:

Tas we started weaning Charlie last Saturday and this is what hes had so far

Sat/Sun - baby rice
Mon/Tues - butternut squash puree
Wed - teaspoon of baby rice mixed with pear puree
Thur- Carrot puree
Fri- baby rice
Sat/Sun - Heinz creamy baby porridge

Since last Saturday through to Friday he had one meal offered at lunchtime but yesterday and today he had porridge offered between brekfast/lunch about 10.30-11am

This week I am offering two meals a day breakfast and lunchtime ish I will offer baby rice maybe mixed with the pear or on its own or the porridge for breakfast and one of the purees I have done for lunch So far I have pureed butternut squash, carrot, sweet potato and pear .... I also have bananas to mush and try this week

As for cutting back on shopping this has been something we have been trying to achieve I bulk buy nappies and wipes too under our bed is stuff with boxes and packets of nappies and wipes I stocked up when Tescos had their baby event on using Tesco vouchers I got through their baby club and vouchers I had from my bounty packs etc This meant that some of the large packets of nappies I bought (x56/x72) only cost me between 2.00-5.00 each Costco had pampers sensitive wipes on 12.00 for two boxes and theres 10 packets in each box so 20 packets of wipes for 12.00 bargain I got my Tesco baby club booklet the other day along with a crap loads of vouchers for nappies/baby food etc so will hang fire and see whats offer when I need some more or when baby event is next on I have ample nappies for a while so will only buy when on offer using my vouchers to save even more Speaking of washing powder though Tesco has a big box of persil with added comfort on for 3.06 My intention with the shopping is to spend no more than 50.00 a week less if we can manage it this week we bought allsorts inc treats, Charlies milk/some weaning meals and DHs case of beer and only spent 40.00 inc delivery charge so I was well impressed

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Thought I would share todays test ... done with fmu but blurry cause I couldnt get a clear picture without turning the flash off cause it kept bouncing off the plastic window of the test and darkening out Its the same olde line

 

[molly85]

jeez i spent way more but am just making pasta bake turkey and bacon for matt the meatatarian. I bought cooking bacon and just boiled it to makeit less salty and used turky thigh so that £3 on meat for a meal that will easily do 10 servings once pasta is added. used 2 cans of chopped tomato could have done this my self and saved 5p. a tub of cream fresh loads of mshrooms and an onion. with origano tommy pureee and garlic shoved in it looks lovely trky thigh needs ;longer to cook so its simmering away pasta will have to be cooked seperatly as the wok is full

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Sounds yummy hon

 

[tas1]

I think I will get some apple and pears tomorrow and give him some on Tuesday! He seems to like baby rice though!

I'll tell you tomorrow how much our shop was this week but I'm thinking it will be about !£40 which is the cheapest we have had for ages but then I have been getting lots of stuff on offer which is still in freezer and cupboards which I'm gonna use coz I hate buying more stuff if we have loads in cupboards and freezer already!

Wheres Costco? If the wipes are that cheap I may venture out to get them! I love bargain shopping!

What's the result madly still positive? I can't see the picture

Xx

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Tas hon I have stuff in the cupboards and freezer too which I am going to make a concerted effort to use more of (well I actually have been!) when Oliver is at MILS for the day I just make my tea out of half used packs from the cupboard and freezer you know the stuff where you get 8 use 6 and have 2 left

Costco is a big type warehouse place we have in Leeds ... am sure there are Costcos elsewhere too

Its still a vvvvvfaint positive Tas

 

[molly85]

Asda do a box of 6 with 80 wipes per pack i always check the price per wipe being a bit nutty i think they were 0.9p per wipe

 

[sequeena]

I thought I saw something madly but it's a bit blurry xx

Luna wants to be a baby too

I am only now realising how big my dog is

 

[tas1]

Do you have to have a card for it? Leeds is about an hour and half away from me so I might go have a day out there lol excitig for me but not Caden!

Eekk madly! How's your OH reacting now?

Molly I like pampers sensitive wipes but I do sometime use Asdas own

Xx

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Yes hon its an annual thing of 20.00 but I get my mum to take me as they have a card for their business Macro is another good place

My DH isnt taking it well at all he doesnt want another and has basically said he wants me to get rid if I am pregnant which I wont do so I dont think it leaves much future for our relationship sadly I can see how it will be hard especially unplanned and so soon after having Charlie but nothing worth having comes easy as Gilz said I`m done talking with him about it because he knows if I am pregnant theres no doubt I will be keeping the baby so it all depends on wether he can except that if I am or not If not and I am pregnant then we have no future together

 

[sequeena]

it'll work out hun it's just a shock x
