Hiya to you all,
Welcome Debbie i live in Lincoln i have 5 kids, how has your day gone so far with no kids? I bet you have kept yourself busy, i know i will when all mine on Wednesday next week will be at school and playgroup.
Hiya Lou Lou nice to hear from you hun glad to hear you had a great time away is it weird not having Flick at home, but also nice on the other hand i know i will miss Chelsea but she does whind the other two up so hoping for a bit of peace and quiet ( i wish lol ) Madison went in Monday and didn't cry but then today she did a bit,
Ele Chelsea isn't back until the 10th but thats because they are staggering them in, sounds stupied but i cried when Madison started playgroup but i think thats more to do with being worried about her with her condition, do you think your lo will be ok leaving you, Madison screamed hated leaving her like that, You will have to tell us your name Ele in a pm so i can add you ( if u like )
Jo Jo hunni i could do with tips maybe some whiskey for the kids to knock them out LOL Madison always wakes in the night at least 2-3 times and Kai was up like i told you at 4.30 this morning wide awake and ready to play, i certaintly wasn't, i will be in bed by 7-30 hahaha, I know what you mean about Facebook i am hooked the only problem i find is all the requests got so many i had a quick peep this morning got over a hundred OMG, and i always find it crashes on me does it you,
Right Tracey its now the 3rd where are you LMAO, hope you had a good holiday and the weather was kind to you are your kids back at school now? Loving the x-factor got some right weirdo's as usual, Chelsea won't go to bed until she has watched it, i went into town Saturday and got Chelsea's uniform ready washed it all and ironed it hung it up,
Right i have just realised how long this post is going to be SORRY ( not really hahaha
best get of Take care all hugs to you's Dawn xx

Hello Everyone,
We have just returned from our holiday in Weymouth. Stayed in Portland and visited the lighthouse which was very interesting.
Hope everyone is well. Flick started back to school today. She was fine going into her new class. Some of the other kids were crying this morning because its a difficult transition from FSU to serious learning. I'm sure they will get used to it.
Dawnie, how is Madison settling in at her preschool?
Jo Jo and Ele. I didn't use gradual withdrawal with my girls, but I know it can be very effective. I used controlled crying but I do know some people just can't bear to hear their little ones cry. The key is consistency so if you both stick to your guns you will see a vast improvement. Hope it goes ok. If its any consolation, both of my girls were up last night - Flick woke up three times, and Fenella woke about 45 times !!!!
Tracey, it looks as though we were away at the same time at the same place. Did you enjoy Weymouth?
Hi Debbie, I live in Oxfordshire, but I'm originally from Birmingham. Welcome.
Must go and get some housework done.

Hi all hope everyone ok and have survived the summer hols. Has everyone's lo's gone back 2 school yet? I think schools here in Cov go back 2day. little man is due to start playgroup in Oct so I've got some time yet (don't know if I'm looking forward to it or not).
hope you had a good hols tracey.
Jo glad I'm not the only one with probs and sleeping how r u holding up. Have u tried the withdrawing chair where u gradually get further away from little one over several days or weeks u start by their bed then after a few nites move a little further and so on. We're currently on 2nd stair but still have to sit in with him if he wakes in the nite. Have u seen HV what have they suggested?
I know what u mean about facebook I've recently joined and am now hooked.
Well better go little man needs a drink and come to think of it so do i
Take care ele xx

Hi everyone I'm back from deepest darkest Wales or should that be wettest! first few days were nice and hot (I got burned kept little man smothered in suncream but forgot about myself!) and then it rained so didn't get out as much as we wanted and didn't get to the beach at all but we did get to go on the mountain railway its a steam train you pay once and can ride all day litttle man got so excited at seeing the engine bless him!! Mam and dad babysat one nite so hubby and me went out for a nice meal which is a v rare occassion it was good cos little man has been having a few issues lately with sleep and behaviour and i so needed a break!!!
Little man used to go down to bed no probs now all of a sudden he'll only go to sleep if you stay in the room with him and its taking ages for him to actually go off the first week at my parents was horrendous screaming spitting scratching kicking!!! and cos he wasn't getting enough sleep his behaviour during the day was not the best (to say the least)
I've had the HV out cos i was at end of my tether i tried controlled crying the first nite wasn't too bad started at 4mins and got up to 10 mins b4 he gave in (but he hadn't had any sleep that day) the next nite was different he'd had a nap I tried the controlled crying but had to give in as he made himself sick once by the door and again in bed so had to strip everything off him and the bed so its back to staying in the room with him but I'm by the door with my back to him reading my book haven't got any further yet.
One good thing while I was home was I got my outfit for my brother's wedding in 6 weeks. bit of a bargain its a dress and jacket in pure silk (not practical I know) should've been £540 but got it for £100!!
Anyway better go hope everyone is ok Lou glad you enjoyed drayton we've been thinking about it as it's not far from us but not sure as little man is only two and half not sure how much he could go on
take care everyone

Hiya all
Well havent done much, Was ment to go out for the day on wednesday just gone with my mil but her car broe down so that didnt happen, Every tome the kids said can we go to the park it looks like it's gonna chuck it down so they have just been playing out on the front balcony but Im starting to get very bored myself, Steve is now home for today an tomorrow so will have some adult company at least.
Glad to hear your all getting out and about, tho
It has been great talking to Jo and Dawn on msn. Jo at least someone's kids think Im cool lol Chan thinks im soooo uncool.
Dawn glad to hear all is going well with the dummy in the day time, Harvey wont remove his from his mouth unless he is eating and drinking and then it is well guarded lol.
The amount of times I have searched high and low for my purse is unreal now it lives in my handbag unless I need it in a shop. I did lose my bus pass tho which has cost us £29.00 in total to replace £4 for the photo's and £25 for the pass why stagecoach charge so much for 1 piece of card I havent a clue.
So what have you got planned for the comming weeks???
We go away weekend oafter next woohoo cant wait for that, Mainly cos it maens I get a change of senery and it will be almost time to go back to school when we come back.
Take care all

Hi everyone,
Went to Drayton Manor Park yesterday and had a great time. The girls loved it, particularly Thomas Land which was fantastic. You could have spent the whole day in there if you wanted to. Felicity went on all the rides in Thomas Land. Fenella enjoyed a ride on Thomas. We then had Fish and Chips and didn't leave until 6.00 pm. Jo Jo I highly recommend it for a day out, its brill. Hope you and kids are ok hun.
Dawnie, glad to hear the work is coming along. I have to confess I've lost my purse loads of times believing I had it nicked or lost it, only for it to turn up a day later lol! Really pleased to hear about the dummy. I remember those days well. Felicity had hers until she was 4!
Hope everyone else and their kids are ok. Hope you enjoyed your holidays.
Bye for now
