we’ve just bought a 2nd hand macpack back carrier, can’t wait till he’s big enough for it! And bought a running buggy too, again, can’t wait! only 4 months to go…. 😉

My dad when I was growing up. His work moved him 300 miles away when I was about to start my gcses. I lived with our neighbours during the week while he did a weekly commute.

read the post, he’s got 11 days not 4!

definitely Florence, fantastic city.

oh dear m_f, hope they come through quickly! one of our nct group babies has her first tooth through at 16 weeks!

Teddyflash doesn’t do much of an evening cluster feed, he seems to prefer a morning cluster feed for some reason.

congrats a_a, what flavour?

Sorry about the manual we’re definitely still looking for ours – can’t find where to re-set the feed/sleep button to make him go for more than 2 hours at night without feeding!

Not for the same length of time as a bike ride or proper walk, no, probably not. I’d use the moby.

I thought 6 months for a bike? But I wouldn’t over winter anyway, as they don’t have your body warmth to keep them warm like in a sling.

yes i can see there might be a lot more hanging about if therere more babies. do you know what route they’re planning? if there are escape routes i think it’s worth a try. excuse lack of caps, feeding!

definitely agree with M_F, better sleep at night if slept well in day.

we took Teddy most of the way up Pen-y-Ghent when he was 3 weeks old, watching the 3 peaks. He slept most of the time, it was fine. We took him for a walk from Grassington last sunday as well, and I took him on a 5 mile walk from Kettlewell a couple of weeks ago. Warm suit and hat on and inward facing carrier = warm and sluggly sleeping baby. We’d not think twice about a 3 hour walk with him, he’s 9 weeks now. He just sleeps all the way round.

What a corageous post Kunstler. I agree with DaRC_L, tiny steps is the way forward. I know how hard it can be to get yourself out of bed some days, and I always found making lists a real help, even if the list consists of; Get dressed, wash up, have shower etc then you can feel like you have achieved something that day, and it makes the next slightly better.

Wishing you all the best, sorry I don’t have time to post more.

just got my renewal through, gone up £4 a month, will be getting a quote online to compare.

Come on Mrs A!!

fab, lovely day here so we went for a walk from Grassington. Track cycling on tv now.

😆 we changed plans, both rode today, will do something together tomorrow.

Well that was **** awesome. I hadn’t quite realised how much I missed it till I went out.

Hope you have fun too mama!

it’s today now not Sunday! Am excited and a bit nervous!

that’s an impressive first word!

bit grumpy today C_G he had his jabs yesterday, other than that he is fab, thanks for asking.

Gymboree class this morning, nap this afternoon. Had his 1st jabs jesterday so he’s not feeling great, we didn’t have much sleep last night.

And what about a splash of red wine in there too? Works for me!

i thought that was a given 😀

Too late I know, but next time add a blob of marmite in to the meat as well.

We went to one last night. I didn’t dress up, but TeddyFlash did;

have you booked accom yet? if not I can thoroughly recommend here[/url]

Jusy wanted to add that when I posted about feeling bad, the emails I got from pepole really made a difference to me.

Sorry to hear you’re having a hard time Houns, you know where I am if you want a chat.

As above also tea at the mount nelson, wander round the waterfront, drive down to the cape and hopefully see some whales on the way and the Penguins at Boulders Beach.

We have a couple of guide books still if you want to borrow?

RIP Hammond

Thanks hora, good idea. I have had so much support from here when low, it would be great to be able to give some back.

We took him to the vets last night. It was very peaceful.

Thank you for 10 years of fantastic friendship Wellington.

Very sad news, he will be much missed by all. My thoughts are with his family.

Thanks for asking, we discussed chemo with the vet, but we would have to go to Knaresborough for it, which is a half hour drive each way, and he hates the car at the best of times, so we don’t think it’s a good option. We have some steroids for him, which hopefully should make him feel better for a couple of months. The vet said if they don’t work in a week, they won’t work, so we are just keeping our fingers crossed at the moment that we get a bit more time with him.
We are just so sad, we have never had to make a decision like this before.

Thanks everyone, appointment tonight so we’ll see what our vet says. He’s certainly perkier now he’s being spoiled with pouch food rather than the normal tinned 🙂

JonM glad you are doing ok now.

thanks everyone.

AIBU is always good for a laugh.

Hora, I think I am the same re giving in to soon with winding – although we have a much happier boy in this house since we started on the infacol!

glad all is ok, it will be worth it I promise. our boy is 5 weeks now and it’s just the best thing ever 🙂

bicyle legs work well if it’s farts rather than burps too.

what ? Drugs did me a big disservice so I’m rightly contemptuous of them! Your experience may differ, but I cannot comment on that.

but just because they didn’t work for you doesn’t mean they don’t for everyone. For a lot of people the drugs are exactly what they need to ge them in the right state of mind for the cbt or other counselling to work effectively – that’s exactly what they did for me. Without the drugs first I just wouldn’t have been able to get my head around the CBT at all.
